“The three saints said they weren’t playing because it’s none of their business. Whatever, it’s all in fun. Now get your fine ass over there and have fun, so pleased do the deed before midnight or I lose.”

My bestie keeps rattling on when I see something that has me telling Taz to call Sheriff George and get deputies to Atlas’s now. Then I hang up and reach under my passenger seat, pulling out my travel gun box. I put my finger on the biometric fingerprint sensor and open it, grabbing my Sig Sauer P365-XMACRO. I also grab two extra magazines and quietly get out of my car. So much for the hair and makeup thing. Damn, it’s looking like Atlas and I will never be able to take our relationship to the next step.

Making my way around the front to the backyard of Atlas’s, I see Scott with a can of gasoline under his arm and a bag of shit in the other. He’s not even paying attention to what he’s doing.Dumbass,I think to myself as I hear the siren a second before he does. By the time he turns around, my arms are out, I’ve taken a stance, and scream out for him to drop to the ground. He drops the gasoline can and the bag and turns to run, not realizing Atlas is right behind him. I watch in amazement as Atlas pulls back, and when he connects with Scott’s face, the punch literally lifts Scott off the ground and then he lands on his back, out cold. When my eyes make their way up Atlas’s shirtless body, I’m shocked as always at how ripped he is. I mean, no disrespect.He’s a physician of the girlie gardens. And a father of three, when does he work out?I’m thinking to myself as he stalks, yeah, stalks toward me.

“What do you think you’re doing, sweetheart? Why didn’t you call and tell me this jagbag was up to something. You put yourself into unnecessary danger. Damn it, Rebel, fuck, what if he hurt you? Don’t you get it, you’re part of me and my boys’ lives? We can’t have anything happen to you. You’ll learn tonight, I’m gonna paddle that fine ass.”

I take a step then another backward, plowing into someone who lets out a grunt.

“Well shit, Rebel, could warn a man. Damn, woman, you’ve got some muscle on you, don’t ya? Anyway, tell me what we got.”

Turning, I see Yoggie and another deputy standing, their guns out. I put mine in the back of my jeans and start to explain what happened as Scott starts to come to. The other deputy walks past us, flips him over, and slaps the cuffs on him. Atlas walks over, throwing an arm around my shoulders, eyes roaming all over my face. He likes what he sees as he snarls my way. I watch Yoggie lift his head, look at me then Atlas, and he screams at his partner.

“Theo, get his ass in the squad, let’s go. These folks have plans, don’t need our asses here. Need you both to come into the station tomorrow to give a statement. Enjoy your evening.”

Then he slowly smiles and I finally get what Glory loves about this man. Damn, yeah, he’s younger but with that smile, who cares? When Atlas’s hand squeezes my shoulder, I look up to see his eyes squinting at me then Yoggie.

“Rule two has absolutely no wiggle room, sweetheart, you don’t fantasize about another man, and especially not in front of me. You’ll get five more for that. Let’s go.”

He literally starts to push me toward his house until I put the brakes on.

“Hey, stop it, Atlas. Hang on a minute, I’m not into that shit. I said stop.”

Using all my weight and trying to stop, he moves me like I weigh ten pounds. Oh, no way, I turn and use my training, trying to twist out of his hold, but to my bewilderment, again, it doesn’t even make him miss a step. When I resort to the only thing I can think of, biting him, he bends and puts his shoulders in my belly and lifts me up. Son of a bitch. I give up, for now, as some of his neighbors are out. Atlas waves saying hi and that everything is okay, that we caught an intruder. They are all smiling, laughing, and even clapping. Well, fuck me, can’t catch a damn break. All I want to do is get out of here and hide at home. How he knows my thoughts, don’t know, but then Atlas cracks my ass.

“Knock it off, Rebel, you are home. Better accept it, woman.”

I feel myself as I soak my panties and my nipples harden in the cups of my bra. I’m literally panting when he cracks my ass again. Yeah, it burns, but damn does it feel good. What is happening to me?How is he doing this shit to me?I think as he walks us into his house.

We are so involved with each other, neither of us sees the person sitting in the car out front, watching our every move.

‘REBEL’

MYA

Opening my eyes, it takes seconds before I comprehend that I’m in Atlas’s bed.Last night started out so good,I think to myself. Problem was, neither of us was truly ready. Even though my girlie garden was singing “Hallelujah,” we had shit to talk about, and I went out of my comfort zone when Atlas asked if he could restrain me. Wow, did I see a different side of Dr. Atlas Giannopoulos. He takes alpha to the next level. But he hurt my feelings thinking I’d ever put the boys at risk. It all worked out in the end after we talked. Then me being me when I’m emotional, I eat. So we went downstairs and had some chamomile tea with leftover Greek chicken and roasted potato wedges his mom made for the boys when Atlas was at the hospital delivering triplets, and I was helping out at the ranch. This new bunch of people we took from the last circuit are really in need of lots of help. The demented shit those assholes did to those poor women and children makes me want to dig them up and kill them again. There’s one little kid, a boy about Stefanos’s age. He breaks my heart every time I see him. Hasn’t said a word but others have told the two therapists who work with the survivors, he was severely abused. One of the older women managed to get the story out before she died from the infection that hadbeen spreading throughout her body. In Mildred’s words, she said two of the men especially liked the younger boy. With tears running down her face, she said at night she could hear Bobby’s cries of pain and him begging them to stop. We made sure she wasn’t alone and it was Kiwi and Dani who were with her when she passed. No one in her family ever looked for her and Glory thinks she might have been sold by them. Even though she was old, there are deviants all over the world. She was supposed to be moved to her new owner, but when she became ill, the people holding her couldn’t make the exchange as the new buyer didn’t want to infest his existing herd. This was what Mildred said they told her. My stomach aches just thinking about it. I’ve been trying to manage my time so that each day, or every other one, I can sit with Bobby and try to break through. What surprised me most was that Tink also was spending a ton of time with Bobby. Her and Noodles both. I have a feeling about those two but am waiting to see if I’m right.

Shaking my head, I try to relax lying next to Atlas but, as usual, once my brain wakes up, I’m ready to rock and roll. As I go to get up, two strong arms pull me back down and, before I know it, Atlas is spooning me with that rock-hard body. I feel every muscle and ridge and all his definition. I mean, he works out at the center’s gym, as I’ve seen how all those soccer moms ogle him. Then he goes to the hospital and all the nurses drool as he walks by. Before I can stop it, I ask what’s been bugging me.

“Morning, Atlas. Why me?”

I feel his body go stiff before the hand lying on my belly starts to move in circles across my tummy. The rhythmic motion lulls me to relax and just enjoy being in his arms. I’m almost on the verge of falling back to sleep when he answers me.

“I don’t know how you women put up with it. Not being vain, sweetheart, I see it when I look in the mirror. Yeah, I’ve been blessed with I guess you’d call it good looks. Problem is,that’s not all I have to offer. I’m smart, funny, and try every day to be a good human being. Though lately, before we got together, I felt like all the women I would meet just wanted a quick hookup with the hot doctor. No, don’t laugh, I’m serious. I’ve had female patients hit on me of all ages. One mother of a patient of mine had been chasing me from the first appointment she brought her daughter to. I delivered her grandbaby, after a very difficult delivery where I managed somehow to save not only the baby but also the mother too. To show her appreciation the older woman offered to “take care of me.” Needless to say, I was shocked and played dumb. She had been dropping more and more suggestive hints about her ability to satisfy her younger lover. That’s when she said if I wanted, she would like to perform oral on me at the very least. When I asked her what the fuck was wrong with her, she looked stunned. She told me men have been doing it for years, why was it so wrong for a woman to do it? Her daughter heard what she said and apologized to me, saying her mom had been acting strange lately, chasing after any guy who would talk to her. I told her to get her mom checked out. You, on the other hand, Rebel, never once gave any indication that you had the hots for me or were looking for a hookup. In fact, I thought you didn’t care for me at all. You made it difficult and an increasingly hard chase, which every man loves, Rebel. Besides being stunningly beautiful, you are a successful business owner, a humanitarian—along with your club sisters—you’ve got a sharp tongue, and most importantly, you made this, whatever we are calling it, something I wanted so I had to work for it. You ensnared me and, sweetheart, you don’t see me trying to get out, now do you?”

When he starts to nibble on my earlobe, it sends shivers down my body as my nipples instantly harden. With his hips pressed close to my ass, I can feel how ready he is to move forward, but everything he’s doing is for me. Atlas can feel merelaxing into him so he steps up his actions, one hand moving to my breasts, the other shifting down my belly. My legs are shifting back and forth as I feel the slick wetness in my girlie garden. Last night, I shed my final drape—so to speak—and Atlas not only had me stay but this morning he’s making me feel wanted and loved, which is all I ever wanted. Yeah, sex can be good, but if there are no feelings it’s just an act. This right here is filled with so many feelings which, in fact, is turning me on so much, I shift, then turn to face Atlas. The look on his face and in his eyes takes my breath away.

“Atlas, make love to me. Please, I need to feel you deep in me. I want you to make me yours. Own me.”

Thank God I used the right words, I think to myself as I watch the instant transformation of his face. That alpha dominant takes over and, before I know it, I’m naked, with my hands holding on to the pipe in the headboard, which Atlas told me not to let go of, or he will stop whatever he’s doing. And he means it when he is paying homage to my breasts, I tore my hands off to hold his head against the nipple he’s sucking and biting, and he instantly stops, looking up, and raising his eyebrow. I immediately return both hands above my head, wrapping them around the pipes. I almost lose my mind as he makes his way down my body, not missing an inch of skin. When he finally gets to my girlie garden, I can’t take it and raise up to meet him, which he chuckles at. His warm breath on my bundle of nerves shoots my hips off the bed and right into his face. He never says a single word that I literally shoved my girlie garden in his face. He lapped, licked, and sucked to his heart’s content. When he added first one digit then another, my head is shaking from side to side. Then he bent a finger inside me at such an angle that when he pressed down, I flew. Never in my life have I felt like this. My muscles are finally releasing as I continue to orgasm after orgasm. I watch as he pulls his fingers out of meslowly, and deliberately sucks my juices off of his fingers, never taking his eyes from me.

He reaches for the nightstand, removing a condom. Back on his knees, he tears open the wrapper then puts the condom on before he starts to jack himself off, looking at my body from my head to the junction between my legs before meeting my eyes.

“Never take those beautiful eyes from mine. If you do, I will pull out and continue to torture you with my mouth and hands. Do you understand?”

I nod but he scoffs.
