“What happened?”

“Ju

st a gunshot wound,” the other man says with a smirk. I whirl on him.

“What!?”

“Bryant, Bryant!” Christian laughs, pulling me close to him. “He’s kidding. It’s just a graze. I’m fine. Really. Just a few stitches.”

I look up at him, and as happy as I am to see him, I’m also about to explode.

“Okay, you better tell me what the hell happened, buddy.”

Christian smiles down, leans in, and kisses me on the forehead.

“Okay.”

“I can’t believe it,” I say after he’s done telling me about what just happened at the Red Lions’ clubhouse.

“Neither could Thump.” He smirks. “You should have seen his fucking face when the Feds stormed the place.”

“I don’t mean that,” I tell him. “I mean – I can’t believe you didn’t tell me!”

“I couldn’t,” he replies. “I didn’t want you to worry.”

“Oh, you think I haven’t been worried?” I exclaim. “Sitting here wondering where you are and what you’re doing?”

Christian smiles and strokes my hair, but I’m so upset I push his hand away.

“How much more worried would you have been if I told you what I was doing?” he asks. I frown. As angry as I am, I have to admit that he’s right about that. More than likely, I would have tried to stop him.

I fall into his arms, all the stress and tension of the last few hours pouring out of me. He catches me in his strong hands and holds me close. I breathe deep, my eyes closed, letting his scent engulf me like a second set of arms. I can’t believe just how quickly I fell for this man.

“They’re done now, Claire,” Christian says as he strokes my head. “The Feds rounded ‘em all up. The big players are going down and the low-level guys, we don’t have to worry about them. We’re safe now.”

A rush of emotion comes over me, and as I look up at him, something stirs inside me. A heat starts at my toes, then courses up my legs in waves until my whole body is burning for him.

“Christian,” I say slowly.

“Yes, baby?”

“I need you to do one more thing for me.”

He smiles down at me and nods. “Anything.”

“I need you to fuck me.”

Christian

Claire’s words ignite my burning passion that’s been smoldering for her since the moment we met. I did it. I got the evidence we needed on the Lions, and Bryant and the Feds showed up and took them all into custody. Now we’re safe. I’ll never be away from her again. Now I can claim her and make her mine forever.

Without hesitation, I lean in and kiss her. Hungrily, I slide my tongue into her mouth. I can feel the inexperience in her kiss, but she kisses me back with so much desire that my cock is instantly hard beneath my jeans.

I tear her shirt straight down the middle at the neck, exposing her perfect breasts. I take them both in my hands and squeeze hard – probably too hard – but I can hardly contain myself.

Claire gasps into my mouth and I quickly unbuckle my jeans. I literally cannot wait any longer. Her tight little virgin pussy is calling out to me, and now that I know that she’s safe, it’s time to make it mine.
