CHAPTER THIRTEEN

KEYS

“Fuckin’ beautiful,” I groan and pull from the depths of Marla’s body.

Marla was lying limp beneath me, eyes closed. Her body exhausted from taking everything I’d given her. I didn’t hold back. Not even when I took her ass for the second time, adding the addition of the vibrator in her pussy.

She’d taken everything and enjoyed it.

Exhausted, I let out a heavy breath and climbed out of bed. I make my way to the bathroom and grab a cloth, wet it, making sure it is with warm water. Moving back to the bed, I clean Marla’s body of the sweat drenching her. She doesn’t move as I remove the restraints from her ankles and wrists.

Taking the cloth back to the bathroom, I wipe myself down as well before going back to the room. I grab a set of clean sheets from my closet and, again without waking Marla, I change the ones beneath her.

Finally, I join her in bed, pulling the covers over us.

Marla lets out a sigh and curls deeper into me. Never has anything felt so good.

I’d never slept with someone in my bed. I’ve always fucked ‘em then kicked them out afterward. The first time had been the night after I brought her to the clubhouse.

Holding Marla to me felt good. Felt right. I could easily sleep with her every night and never grow tired of it.

Allowing myself to relax fully, I close my eyes and let sleep take me without a fight.

Fingers trail along my chest, the soft touch feels good. Cracking an eye open, I glance down at Marla’s hand.

“Morning,” I tell her and kiss the top of her head.

Marla’s body jerks ever so slightly like I’d startled her. Finally, she whispers, “Morning.”

The sound of her voice seemed off. Like it was filled with apprehension. I knew this morning we were going to have a lot to talk about, but I figured we’d at least get some coffee in our systems first. Looks like that ain’t gonna happen.

Slowly, I roll, taking Marla with me until she’s lying beneath me once again with those sweet thighs wrapped around my waist. My cock jerks at the feel of her skin. I could easily slip inside her and fuck her all over again.

“Sore?” I ask her instead of doing just that.

“A little,” she admits, her cheeks blushing a light shade of pink.

“We’ll take it easy today, let your body recoup.

” Doesn’t mean I won’t fuck her at some point today, but I was going to take it easier than I typically would otherwise.

I don’t think after having her, I can go a day without being inside her.

Hell, I’d probably be happy just having my cock inside her and not even moving.

“I think my body would appreciate that,” she murmurs. A shy smile toying at her lips.

I don’t know what’s up with her, where my confident woman went, but I was about to find out.

“You good with everything we did last night?”

“It was a lot we did last night.” Marla licks her lips, and her eyes darken. Yeah, she liked what we did.

“Yeah, but in the beginning, you tensed up and your eyes flashed with fear.” I didn’t like it. I thought about stopping, but I didn’t. I pushed her, and it was fuckin’ epic. “Someone ever tie you up before?”

That flash of fear comes back to her eyes as she tenses once again.

Marla places her hands on my chest and pushes. “Let me up.”

“Not until after you answer me,” I tell her sharply. I don’t want her to fight me on this, but I will if I have to. I need the answers.

“I don’t have to tell you anything.”

“From the way you’re getting defensive, baby, I’m gonna take that as a yes to my answer. Someone tied you up, they didn’t make it pleasurable for you.”

Marla scoffs and curls her lip. “Get off me now, Keys, I’m not telling you anything. Think what you want.”

Chuckling, I reach up to stroke her cheek. “Sweet, sweet, Marla, you don’t get it, do you?”

“Get what?” she demands.

“That the moment you told me to make you forget everything and fuck you, that you became mine.” I’m a fool if I thought I could not claim her.

I realize that now. She’s mine in every way.

I don’t give a fuck what she does with her life.

She can be who the hell she wants to be, and I’ll still claim her.

I’ll take her back when she needs it. The only thing I won’t do is allow her to come between me and my club.

Means she needs to come clean with me about every little secret she’s hiding.

“Just because you said something, I said something, and you fucked me, doesn’t mean I’m yours. It doesn’t mean we’re together,” she snaps and shoves against me again.

“Fine, you want to see it that way, all right, go ahead, but I’ll tell you this, the moment you curled into me in your sleep, definitely changed things for us, baby.

You can’t say it didn’t. Hell, this morning, you could’ve easily have just gotten up, gotten out of bed, and left me to keep on sleeping.

Instead, you laid in my arms, tracing your fingers along my chest. Now, you tell me that doesn’t mean something. ”

“I . . . “

“Don’t try lying to yourself or me. I know the truth about that at least. Now, I want to know the rest that you hide from me.”

Marla’s eyes shimmer with tears, and she shakes her head. “You can’t do this to me. I won’t let you.”

“Do what, Marla? Make you see reason?”

“I won’t let you,” she repeats.

“Won’t let me do what?” Dipping my head, I run my nose along her cheek to her ear. “You know you want to let me in. Just do it, baby. Let me in. Tell me what I want to know.”

My cock jerks against her entrance, feeling the slick juice there. Unable to help myself, I slip inside her. It’s like her pussy is just sucking me right in. “See your body wants me. It doesn’t lie to me.”

“Kyan,” she whimpers, her fingers slide up to curl around my shoulders.

“Tell me what I want to know, baby,” I murmur and thrust gently inside her.

Marla shakes her head, tears spilling down her cheeks. “I can’t.”

“Why can’t you?” Now, I was getting somewhere.

“Because I don’t want to remember. I don’t want to relive it,” she whimpers.

I still inside her, lower myself until I’m just holding my weight off her, but she can feel my body completely. “Talk to me, baby, who hurt you?”

Her whimper turns to a sob, and she gives it to me. “When I was eighteen, I went to a party and was raped. Not just by one, but multiple guys.”

My blood runs cold. My eyes blur with rage. It takes all my control to keep it in check.

“What happened?” I ask, my voice going terse. I don’t pull out of her depths, but I roll us until she’s on top. I move us again so that I’m sitting up with my head against the headboard with her in my arms. “Tell me, Marla, give me the pain you’ve kept inside you for so long.”

I didn’t have to ask if her family knew. I just knew they didn’t.

Marla’s breath hitches, and she curls into my front, her arms around my back.

“They tied me down. I wasn’t on a bed like how you had me.

My wrists were bound to a beam together.

My legs were spread and bound similarly, but to links that were attached to the floor.

I couldn’t move unless they adjusted me.

They took turns on me. The only part of me they didn’t touch was my ass.

West found me before they could get to that part.

They weren’t done with me. They intended to play a lot longer than they got to.

By the time West got to me, they all had turns.

To keep me from screaming, they made sure to keep my mouth occupied. ”

Her breath hitches, and her tears soak my chest.

“I’d been a virgin.”

Now, that right there has me ready to kill them all.

“What happened to them?” I needed to know who to kill and where to find them.

“West had called Calyx. They took care of them for the time being, but several months after it happened, I made sure they all suffered for what they did to me. They’re all sitting in a federal penitentiary serving a hefty sentence for crimes they committed.

Not the one against me, of course, but other ones.

I made sure they knew it was me who saw to that, so in a way they’re still in there for crimes against me. ”

Well, hell. I’ll have to find out which one and make sure to make their lives more horrible than they already are.

“Calyx took you on and trained you after that, didn’t he?”

“He did,” she confirms with a nod and raises her head. “He always made sure that I wasn’t in over my head. It’s why West and I always work together.”

“You didn’t on this last one,” I pointed out. There’s no way they could’ve.

“We worked together in a way.” She shrugs. “He’s always in contact with me. It’s how we work.”

I shift her a bit over me, her body working my cock still inside her. Marla’s lips part a bit, and a blush comes back to her cheeks.

“None of this changes things between us, Marla. I’m not letting you go.” Knowing what I know now, it makes me understand her all that much more. We have more in common than she even knows. But do I think I can tell her my secrets?

I wasn’t too sure I could do it. Right now, it didn’t matter.

“Kyan,” she whispers, tears shimmering in her eyes.

Straightening a bit, I tighten an arm around her waist, spear my fingers in her hair, and bring her mouth to mine. “I mean it, Mar, you’re mine,” I say right before claiming her mouth. Words won’t show her what I want to tell her. My body will, though, and I plan to do just that and show her.

I was able to strip the layers away from her, exposing what I knew was mine. Now, I was going to enjoy it just as I did last night, and I intend to keep doing.
