CERBERUS

What the fuck was Reaper thinking putting Ember in the room next to mine? He has to have lost his mind. No way in hell Ember would’ve gone for it.

Then again, maybe she just needed somewhere to crash, and that room was the only other one that had a private bath.

The rest of the available rooms were where the pocket pussies stayed.

Ember didn’t need to be down that hall. Or have to share a bathroom with them bitches.

They have a way of fucking with women they see as a threat.

I don’t fuckin’ get it, but I’ve seen enough in the past years what some of those bitches will do to not only fuck with one of the ol’ ladies but also the tricks they’ll try in order to get there claws in a member of the club .

I’ll admit there are a couple that aren’t like that, but there are the ones that give them all the bad name.

I typically would go to Tammy or Rach if I need someone to get me off.

Those two aren’t that bad. They know the score and know better than to come to me.

If I wanted one of them, I’d tell them. They were good with this which made them my main two that I’d fuck.

Granted, I’ve fucked some of the others as well when I felt like it.

Since Ember got home, I hadn’t stopped fucking when I wanted, but I made sure to stick to Tammy or Rach. They knew how to keep their mouths shut and didn’t spread shit around.Bonus, neither of them was a blonde or had greenish blue eyes that could pierce right through you if they wanted to.

I wasn’t going to be the one to throw my shit in her face. With my decision I made earlier, I definitely didn’t want her having to deal with that bullshit.

The only thing I’ve got to deal with now is to figure out how I’m going to go about doing what I made my decision to do.

A lot is going on with her. Be friending her isn’t exactly something I want to do.

No way in fuck I’m letting her throw me in a friend zone.

Fuck that. No, Ember’s gonna know exactly where the two of us stand from the beginning.

What I need to figure out is how to make that happen.

A knock on my door draws me out of my thoughts, and I pause the movie playing in the background.

Making my way to the door, I hope like fuck it’s not Tammy or Rach.

It’s the only thing those two have been known to do.

Opening the door, I tense slightly cause it’s not one of the pocket pussies, it was Reaper.

“What’s up, Prez?” I ask, stepping back in the room to pull a shirt on.

“Want to talk to you about something,” he says, stepping inside, closing the door.

“Figured that.” With a shirt on, I turn and face him. “So, what’s up?”

“Ember,” he announces. “She’s in the room next to yours.”

“Saw that earlier.” I nod, not giving away anything about my thoughts on that. Or my intentions.

“You’re going to be the one in charge of her protection.”

I jerk back, caught completely off guard by his statement. “Excuse me? Did you just say what I think you said?” There’s no fucking way he’s putting me in charge of his niece’s protection.

“You’re gonna be in charge of Ember’s protection. Take her to work, bring her back. She’s on lockdown, but she can’t miss work with her just starting at the dispatch center. She loves that job, and I won’t take that from her. To make it work, she needs a guard on her at all times,” he explains.

“And you want me to do it?” I ask skeptically.

“Yep,” he confirms.

“Not to sound like an asshole, but gotta ask, why me?”

“Because I didn’t miss your reaction to her coming home. Also, didn’t miss your expression at hearing what she had to say today.” Reaper shrugs, eyes watching me far too closely as he continues. “Ember isn’t the same girl she used to be. What I tell you stays strictly between the two of us.”

“What’s that?” I doubt I’ll like any of what he’s gonna say to me.

“Ember can tell the rest of it if and when she decides to share, but she was attacked. It’s the main reason she left school and went to Montana with Dex.

What happened to her is her story to share, and it’ll be her who tells the rest. You need to know this because you’ve seen the scars, it was ugly, and she’s not overcome it yet, as she claims she has. ”

I take in Reaper’s words, reading between the lines and not liking any of it. Whatever it was she went through wasn’t just a simple attack. It was one that caused her to lose the wildness inside her.

However, I don’t think she lost that part of her, but I do believe it’s hidden deep inside, waiting for the right time to show itself again.

“You two have history, I know it, don’t think I don’t. But also know what she was like after the split, and I gotta admit, that’s when it all started.”

“What started?” Now he’s got me confused.

“That she started losing that part of herself. You did that to her, now you’re gonna do what it takes to get it back. You’re gonna fix what you broke years ago,” Reaper says. He turns and walks out of the room without another word or allowing me to say anything myself.

Not that I could. Shock overtook me, freezing me to where I stand. He thinks . . .

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

I can’t deal with this shit now.

To fix anything, I know I’m gonna have to start small. How that’s gonna happen, I’ve no damn clue. I gotta take what I know about her and what Reaper shared, then go from there.

Moving back to my bed, I drop onto it, visions from years ago filter through my mind. One in particular always gets to me.

“Em, baby,” I groan, feeling her riding me. The tight grip of her pussy clenching me.

“It feels so good, Jase, so good.” Her moans go straight to my cock filling her.

We’d been out at a party and left to be alone after spotting one of the prospects of the club. Ember hated it when her uncles sent someone to watch after her. I got her, but I also got her uncles.

I hadn’t intended for things to go this far, granted, I won’t be complaining either. Having her straddling me like this, fuck I’ll never forget it.

“Jase,” Ember moans, her body rocking, grinding against me.

Clenching her hips, I thrust upward, taking her deeper, needing to take what I want. But her sweet virgin tightness holds me back. I didn’t want to hurt her.

“I need more.” Sliding her hands up my chest, Ember lowers herself, presses her tits to my chest, nails scraping upward to curl around my neck. “Fuck me, Jase, I want to feel you take me harder. Show me how much you want me.”

Oh hell.

Flipping Ember over to the blanket covering the back of the bed of my truck, I pull nearly all the way out and thrust home. Filling her. Plowing into her with each thrust, doing just as she told me to do. I take her as I want. Show her just how much I’ve wanted to do this since we started dating.

Before that even.

“Oh God, yes, Jase. It feels so good. More. I want more,” she begs, nails digging into my shoulders.

Gritting my back teeth, I fuck her harder. Hitching her legs over my shoulders, I take her deeper. Within seconds her pussy clamps on my cock, her orgasm floods from her soaking me at the same time has me pouring my release into the condom.

That night had been only two days before she overheard Azrael and me talking. After that, she didn’t give me a chance to explain things. It was done.

Not long after that, Ember was gone completely, and I hadn’t seen her again until she waltzed into the clubhouse. I’d been surprised to see her, and I wasn’t even sure I was seeing her correctly.

With Reaper putting me in charge of her protection, he’s giving me the in I need. I just gotta figure out how I’m gonna do just as he says I need to and fix what’s fucked up.

Sleep refuses to come even hours later. All I keep thinking of is anything and everything to do with the woman in the room right next to me. By the time I finally do start to doze, screams of terror pierce the silence.

Jumping out of my bed, I rush from my room, going straight toward the room I knew they came from.

The door is unlocked, and I open it to find her in the throes of a nightmare. She’s screaming words that tear at my heart, and if I don’t wake her, they’ll do more than that. They’ll sear themselves into my own soul, branding it with her pain in a way I’ll never forget.
