Page 162 of Caution to the Wind

“We will,” I promised.

He grinned at me, a wide, wolfish expression full of teeth that should have been frightening but was wildly thrilling instead.

I couldn’t wait to get home and take out the rest of the adrenaline buzzing through my veins on him.

“Okay, get movin’,” Zeus ordered. “Take as much as you can carry and fill a few bags. Not too many, we don’t need anyone wonderin’ what the fuck is in the laundry bags. Curtains, can you check for security cams in the area and corrupt the footage?”

“I’ll see. If it’s a closed circuit, we might need to get in there personally.”

“Not a problem.” Dane grinned.

“And what about them?” I asked Zeus as the brothers started mobilizing. “We can’t just leave them here to keep working for the triad.”

Zeus cut his silver gaze over the terrified groups of immigrants and sighed. “Fuck, havin’ a heart’s a fuckin’ nuisance.”

Axe-Man grunted his agreement but smiled down at me in secret comradery.

I loved him then so much it was hard not to shout down the basement with it.

“We’ll call in an anonymous tip after we’re clear.”

“That won’t work. We don’t want the RCMP trollin’ this place for prints and takin’ the rest of the triad money under control if we don’t want bad blood,” Axe-Man pointed out.

“I have an idea,” I suggested with a pleasant smile.

Zeus and Axe-Man both sighed.

Two hours later, long after The Fallen MC had vacated the premises, two of the women working the front desk opened the fire door to the stairwell and let one hundred and eleven Chinese immigrants file through the late-night lobby into two waiting school buses Curtains and Boner had appropriated from a local lot for a few hours. They were waiting outside of the Vancouver Central Legal Aid office when it opened at nine o’clock the next morning.

“Fuckin’magnificent,” Axe-Man growled as he carried me into his bedroom and shut the door with his foot before pressing me up against the wall to bite and kiss at my neck. “You’re fuckin’ glorious, Rocky.”

“And you need a shower,” I pointed out even as I canted my neck to give him better access and fisted my hands in his tangled waves.

“You don’t like me dirty?” he rumbled, and the vibration against my throat made my toes curl. “’Cause I’ve unlocked a new fuckin’ kink apparently.”

“Oh yeah?” I asked breathlessly as he carried me into the adjoining bathroom and straight into the shower.

I squealed when he turned on the water without moving us out of the spray, both of us still in our clothes straight down to our socks.

“Yeah,” he said against my mouth before biting at my lower lip then soothing the sting with a swipe of his tongue. “You in a little dress kickin’ ass.”

My laughter turned into a moan as he slid his mouth down my chin and neck, licking up the water droplets until he reached the ruined wet velvet of my dress. He dropped me so suddenly, I almost lost my balance, but he caught me before I could falter, pressing me up against the cold shower wall, so I hissed. The zipper was loud in the tiled shower as he undid it, trailing a finger down my spine as it was exposed inch by inch.

“Axe-Man,” I said on a shiver. “Don’t tease me right now.”

“Call me Henning,” he demanded. “And I’m gonna fuckin’ devour you, Rocky. Don’t worry.”

The lust that had lain coiled in my gut since I’d seen him dispatch men with the casual competency of a seasoned warrior surged through me. Maybe I was a different kind of girl, but knowing I had a predator dropping to his knees behind me, ready to turn that big body into a tool for my pleasure, was the headiest thing I’d ever experienced.

The dress fell with a wet smack to the tiles. A moment later, Axe-Man’s hands were on my ass, plumping the cheeks, slapping one and then the other.

“What’re you doing?” I asked even though I didn’t really care.

As far as I was concerned, he could do anything he wanted to me, and I’d probably love it.

“Admirin’,” he said a moment before he spread my cheeks and licked me from my pussy to my asshole.

I shivered and groaned, throwing my head back as I canted my hips.
