"Excuse me," Cinder says, stepping forward. "You got a lot to say for a man about to get his ass kicked by a woman."
Lex steps in front of him, her face barely an inch away from Cinder's. "Touch him, and I won't stop at curb stomping you. You'll see how much tougher a biker woman is than someone who plays with cars."
"Hey, he started it."
"And I'm fucking ending it. Step back in your fucking place before I put you there. You say you have a short fuse, but you have no idea how fucking short mine is these days. He's not someone you mess with. I don't play when it comes to my husband."
Seeming to understand the severity of her mistake, Cinder steps back and looks at Colt. "I apologize."
"Yeah, okay. You good, baby?"
"I'm fine," she says, but Lex never takes her eyes from Cinder.
Colt walks away, and Cinder looks at Venom for some clarity. He just shrugs because he has no idea where they stand either.
"Did I pass?" Cinder asks. "Am I okay, or am I out?"
The blonde looks at Venom before sighing. "You pass. For now. Come for my husband again, though, and it will be the last thing you ever do in this clubhouse."
"For now?"
"I haven't made up my mind yet, so you're in a probationary period."
That doesn't sit well with Cinder. "Because of how I reacted tonight or because of that slut who broke Venom's heart?"
Hearing Cinder refer to Marnie as a slut makes Venom's scalp burn. She's got a lot of opinions about people she doesn't know, and it's not sitting well with him.
To her credit, Lex doesn't seem to like this much either. "That woman you're talking about is a part of this club. She's also a daughter, like me.Ican say shit like that, even though I don't, but you don't get to."
"But—"
"No, there is nobutwith you and that statement. She's a part of the club. A woman of the club. You're nothing. Maybe if you make it to old lady status, it'll be different, but if you want to stay on my good side, you're going to keep any comments about the women here to yourself. Unless they're bunnies. Piss them off and curb stomp them for all I care."
It's obvious Cinder doesn't agree with this, and she definitely doesn't like being given orders, but she seems to catch the drift that pissing off Lex will hurt more than help. "Understood," she says through clenched teeth.
"Have a good night. I'm going to go fuck my husband now."
Grabbing Cinder, Venom damn near carries her down the hallway to his apartment that luckily sits on the opposite side of Colt's before she can say a word. The moment the door closes, he strips her naked, guides her to the bed, and buries his face between her legs. The best way to get aggression out of Cinder without her using her fists is in bed.
"Yeah, you better fucking eat me for how well I held my tongue," she says, her legs opening wider.
He flicks his tongue teasingly before slipping three fingers inside her, making her moan. She swings her legs up onto his shoulders and digs her heels into his back to make a point as he holds back his wince at the pain.
"Fuck, suck my clit, baby," she pants. "Just like that. "Yes, yes... YES!"
Most men would be thrilled, but the ability to bring Cinder to orgasm so quickly frustrates Venom. There's no challenge. No real effort required. Not like Marnie.
Stop it! Stop thinking her.
"You've really never fucked Lex?" Cinder asks.
Standing, he says, "Never even thought about it." He strips naked and points at his cock. "Get on your knees."
She smiles and does as he commands, taking him into her mouth. Wrapping her hair in his fist and twisting it around his wrist, he slams into her mouth, forcing her to take him all the way into the back of her throat. Her gag reflex isn't sensitive, and she likes it rough. It's the one thing he loves about taking her to bed. There are very few limits, none of which he's encountered yet, and it's interesting in its own right.
"Suck my cock, you dirty whore," he growls.
Moaning, she sucks him to the point her cheeks hollow out, and he comes hard in the back of her throat. She swallows every drop before he slides out of her mouth. Smiling up at him, she says, "Only your dirty whore."
