Chapter 9
Chapter Nine
Ace
The last thing I want to do is leave Liz right now, but I have to. The club comes first. Hopefully, she understands. I’ll have to talk to Poison, Siren and Holly and teach Liz the ropes of the MC ways. There’s so much for her to learn about what we do, when, how and why that those three will be great at helping her.
I pull away from Liz’s lips and a whimper escapes her throat. I’m rock hard behind the zipper of my jeans. This woman has me tied in knots. I’ve never had this reaction to a woman so quickly after the trauma I experienced as a teenager and I want to explore it further but I can’t right now.
“Liz,” her name rolling off my lips sounds perfect. “I have to go to Church. I’m gonna send Siren and Holly up to talk to you about the MC ways.”
Liz’s eyes widen in shock, “Uh… OK?”
“It’ll be fine. They’re Blayde and Stryker’s Ol’ Ladies. They’re the best to answer any questions you have.” I tap the side of Liz’s head and run my fingers through her red hair. “I know you have a million of them.”
“I do, yes. But I don’t know those women. How can I trust them?” Liz clamps her hand over her mouth after what she says and I see the fright in her eyes.
I pull her hand away from her mouth. “Baby don’t be scared about voicing your concerns. I won’t let anyone harm you. You have my protection from here on out.” I hold her face in my hands, soothing the scared look in her eyes. “Siren and Holly have been a part of the MC world for a long time. They’ve been through some shit and know the score. Which is what they’ll teach you while I’m gone.”
“Where are you going?”
“I have Church now and we’re leaving on a run for a few days. I hate to do this to you, but one rule you’ll have to learn is the Club comes first. No matter what is going on or happening, the Club is my number one priority. The girls will teach you all you need to know.” I leave a lingering kiss on Liz’s lips again before I go.
“Will I see you before you leave?” The look in her blue eyes tells me all I need to know about us.
“We won’t be leaving until tomorrow morning, so we have all night to get to know each other better.” I wink and walk out the door, closing it behind me before I stay and really get into trouble with Kayne.
I hurry down the stairs and find Holly and Siren in the kitchen. I stop quickly. “Ladies, can you go and talk to Liz? She needs guidance on Club life.”
“Sure thing, Ace. She’s a cutie.” Holly smirks.
“I’ll tell you if she’s a keeper later.” Siren winks.
Anger flows through me and I grit my teeth to keep from lashing out at Siren. “She isn’t going any-fucking-where.”
“Perfect then, Ace.” Siren pats me on my chest as she walks by with Holly. “We’ll make sure she knows the rules. Didn’t want to waste my time with a hang around.”
I see what she did there and chastise myself for walking right into her trap. She was testing the waters to see how I’d react to her comment. I’d facepalm but I’m a badass biker and don’t do shit like that. Instead, I grunt and storm off toward Church. I take my phone out of my pocket and put it in the box by the door. Slipping inside Church, I close the door behind me and take my seat between Stryker and Rooster. Kayne, Blayde, Butch, Tex, Duke, Poison, Talon, Stryker and Rooster are already in here waiting for me.
“Bro, that chick is fine as hell. Where’d you pick her up?” Rooster asks with a grin leaning back in his seat with his hands around the back of his head.
An evil sneer pulls my lips and I kick Rooster’s chair out from underneath him, sending his ass crashing onto the floor. The room erupts in laughter while Rooster pulls his ass up from the floor and fixes his chair. “Fucking asshole.” Rooster grumbles, making everyone laugh harder.
“Bro, she’s fucking mine. Keep your cock away from her and I won’t have to rip it off and beat you with it.” I growl deep from within, surprising myself and everyone around me. “Besides, don’t you have an Ol’ Lady now?”
Rooster rolls his eyes, “Duh, asshole. Like I’d cheat on Alyssa, who is currently waiting for me at home with nothing on but her birthday suit, so let’s get this shit handled.”
The laughter dies and Butch clears his throat. “A week ago, we were at Liz’s apartment when her boss showed up. Ace knocked the slimeball out with one hit.” Butch stands up and shadowboxes, throwing an uppercut against an imaginary person. “Fucking, what! The bitch went down like a fucking sack of bricks. He’s gonna have a fucking killer headache when he wakes up inside that dumpster.”
“Bro, it was fucking epic. That douchebag didn’t know what fucking hit him.” Tex pipes in. “So Butch and I took his sorry excuse for a man out and threw him in the smelliest, nastiest dumpster we could find.” Tex and Butch shrug their shoulders like it was no big deal and Kayne groans slamming the gavel on the oak table stopping further shit talk. Butch sits down and the room falls silent.
“Fuck. We’ll come back to that in a minute. Right now, there are other important things we need to discuss.” Kayne leans forward in his seat, steepling his fingers together. “Tank and the others ran into an issue down by Detroit trying to get back to PA. We all know what that means. Kozlov brothers are making a move to stop them and we need to get ahead of it.”
“What kind of issue?” Duke asks.
“Someone tried to kill them before they got to the border. Tried to run them off the road. Cobra laid his bike down, but it wasn’t too damaged. Fucking amateurs. This shit needs to end now.” Kayne leans back in his seat. “We’re leaving for PA first thing in the morning to meet up with Chainz and the Krymson Destroyers and help them. Only a few of us are going. Stryker, Ace, Blayde and Siren, Rooster, Stone, Poison and myself. The rest of you will stay here and hold down the fort, watch for blowback and get shit set up to finish Senator Graham. Any objections?”
The room is quiet with no one arguing or objecting. “Good. Now, Ace. What’s the deal with this fiery redhead?”
All eyes land on me and I swallow hard. I don’t like being the center of attention but apparently, that isn’t happening today. “I found her broken down on the side of the road near the mechanic shop. I sent Rooster her plates to run for info.”
“Her name’s Elizabeth Madeline-Rose LeRoux. She’s a Louisiana native born and bred. There’s something you should know before you take this any further.” Rooster leans forward. The seriousness in his face sends a chill down my spine. “She’s the descendant of Madeline LeRoux.”
“And that is who?” I ask.
“Madam Madeline LeRoux was the queen of Louisiana Voodoo. She was the one the natives went to for help. Madam LeRoux was a powerful Voodoo witch, according to the research I could find. She died last year in a tragic accident and Liz was supposed to take her place. She had a huge falling out with her family and came here.”
“Ok, so we have a Louisiana Voodoo dark princess in our Clubhouse. Is she a danger to any of us?” Kayne asks. I clench my jaw to stop myself from disrespecting my President. He’s looking out for the good of his club but sometimes he’s an asshole.
Rooster shakes his head, “No. She’s a timid little mouse. Nothing I found online stated she’s a danger to us.”
I think back to the fire I lit in her earlier at the shop and I smirk. The way her eyes burned into me when I pissed her off. She might be a timid little mouse right now, but I’ll bring the dark princess forward and together our souls will match.
“Now that this is out of the way, does anyone have anything they need to share?” Kayne asks, picking up the gavel. No one answers or shakes their head. “Good. The eight of us will ride out tomorrow. Party, fuck, smoke, do whatever you want tonight. Tomorrow, it’s show time. Church dismissed.” Kayne slams the gavel on the table ending our meeting. Everyone’s chairs scrape back as they get up to leave. I join them and head out to find a fiery redhead I can’t wait to see.
I don’t talk to anyone and that’s nothing new. I usually keep closed off and observe. I was taught a long time ago that you can see better using your eyes and ears and learn more when the mouth stays closed. I stop in the kitchen to grab Liz and me a couple of beers and head up to my room.
I stop in front of my door and hear giggling coming from the other side. That’s a good sign, I hope. I take a deep breath and turn the knob opening my door. The sight in front of me is priceless. Liz is sitting on my bed with her legs crossed in front of her eating a bag of chips one of the girls brought in. Her eyes widen while shoving a mouthful of chips in when she sees me. Holly is sitting next to Liz also with a mouth full of food and Siren is sitting in the chair in the corner of my room. She tosses her long dark hair over her shoulder and stands. Holly scrambles off the bed and stands next to her.
“We good in here?” I ask raising an eyebrow.
“Yeah, Ace. We’re good for now.” Siren smirks. I catch on to what she’s doing and tamp down the rage flowing through my body.
“Thanks. See yourselves out.” I dismiss the two heathens and they laugh while closing the door behind them.
Liz hasn’t moved a muscle besides swallowing the mouth full of chips, since I walked in. I take off my boots, remove my cut and hang it on the back of my door before approaching her on the bed. I kick back on my bed with my feet on either side of Liz.
“What’s up?” I ask casually, even though I’m kind of freaked out right now wondering what she’s thinking.
Liz swallows hard before shifting her body in my direction. “Uh, well… The girls have told me some things about being in an MC and I’m more confused but curious than I was before.” Liz grabs the charm around her neck and rubs it with her fingers.
“Well, ask away. I’ll answer what I can and tell you if I can’t.” I put my hands around the back of my head, leaning against the headboard. Appearing relaxed, even though I’m not. I’m nervous this is too much for her.
She shifts her body so she’s facing me on the bed and inhales a deep breath. “What exactly is your role in the club?”
“My job is the financial part. I keep track of the spending and receiving of Club money, called the Treasurer. I also set up and run fights, both legally and illegally. I participate in them too.”
“Is that where the faint bruising and the scarred knuckles came from?” Liz is shy about asking and it has my curiosity peaked.
“Yeah, it is. Do you fight?” I sit up a little bit so our bodies are closer.
“Not professionally, no. But I haven’t been able to find a gym around here to accommodate what I like to do.” Liz’s cheeks turn red and she blushes. It’s the sexiest thing I’ve seen in a while. Most women around here know what they want and aren’t afraid to tell you. Liz is different and I really like it.
“I’ll make a deal with you.” Liz scoots closer to me on the bed and my heart beats hard against my chest. Her scent drifts around me and sends a shot of lust straight below my belt. “When I get back from this run, I’ll take you to the gym out back and see if what I can do can accommodate your needs.”
Liz swallows hard, following along with my innuendo. “I’d like that, Ace.” Her face turns bright red again and I lean forward.
“Any more questions?” I ask, brushing my finger along her cheek. I can’t help it. I crave to touch her.
“Only one.”
“What is it?”
“Will you kiss me?” Liz’s husky voice sends my blood pumping hard through my veins and my stomach clenches with excitement.
I cup the side of her face and bring my lips down onto her soft ones with urgency. Liz opens her mouth and I plunge my tongue inside, relishing her taste. She melts into me and it’s the greatest feeling in the world. A feeling I’ve been missing. Club bunnies were a means to blow off steam, but what’s happening between Liz and I is different. I don’t feel stressed or anxious having Liz touch me. In fact, I want her to touch me. I want her to be a part of me and who I am and that scares the shit out of me.
I pull her closer so she’s straddling my lap while I kiss her with so much built-up passion, that my lungs burn. Liz grinds her hips causing her core to press against my hardness and I want to touch every inch of her body. I crave to kiss every inch, mark her as mine.
Both of us are panting hard when I pull my lips away. My hands grip her hips holding her in place so I don’t come like a teenage boy watching his first porno. She does this to me. Liz has ahold of my shoulders and we’re pressed against each other. I’m at a loss for words but my body is full of lust. Liz shifts slightly trying to relieve some pressure but instead, she rubs against me and a moan escapes my throat. Afraid of going too far, I release my hold on her hips but she doesn’t move.
I look into her lust-filled eyes, “What are you thinking?” My voice is husky with need.
“I’m thinking I need you right now. When do you have to leave?” Liz whispers.
“In the morning.”
“So, we have all night.” A smile lights up Liz’s face and she leans into me, capturing my lips with her own.
I grip the bottom of her shirt and yank it over her head along with her bra, exposing her chest and stomach. The sight before me takes my breath away. She’s beautiful with intricate tattoos trailing up each of her sides and wrapping around her back.
I lean in and capture one of her breasts and suck. Liz grips my head, pulling me closer and moans the sexiest noise I’ve ever heard. It spurs me on to take things further. Too many clothes are separating us. I release her from my mouth and pull my shirt over my head, tossing it to the side. I trail my hands down Liz’s stomach to the button of her jeans and pop it. She climbs off the bed and pulls her jeans down her long, lean legs, kicking them away. Liz sways her hips to a beat only she and I can hear. I sit on the edge of the bed, enjoying the show she’s putting on for me.
I stand to my full height and pop the button on my jeans and breathe a sigh of relief from the pressure on my raging dick. Liz grabs my jeans and pulls them down my legs along with my boxer briefs.
I kiss Liz hard while pushing us onto the bed. She spreads her legs wide making room for my body. I break the kiss and trail my lips down her body. I suck one breast into my mouth and my hands keep going further south until I reach the apex of her thighs. I run my fingers over Liz’s mound and rub it. She moans, grabbing the headboard and arching her back. I kiss down her body until I’m at her entrance. Her scent pulls me in and I lick, feasting on what’s become my favorite treat.
“Holy shit, Ace.” Liz moans breathlessly, arching her back. I groan while plunging two fingers inside her heat. Her walls clamp down signaling she’s close to exploding. I keep up my ministrations, sucking, licking and biting while my fingers slide in and out of her wetness. “I’m coming. Don’t stop.”
I keep up with Liz’s demands and take her over the edge of ecstasy. Her wetness coats my mouth, lips and tongue. I slow down my pace, bringing her back down slowly. Once she’s fully back in our universe, I slowly slide my way up her body, kissing every inch of her skin. Liz is getting worked up again, pushing her hips into mine.
“You ready for more?” I ask, gazing into her blue eyes.
“I’m more than ready, Ace. Mark me and make me yours.”
I don’t know if she understands the words she just said to me and I’ll talk with her about it later. Right now, I’m living in the moment and kiss her. Lining up my aching shaft, I slowly inch inside her until I’m at the hilt. I’ve never felt the sensations skirting over my skin. Only this woman has done this to me.
“Fuck me. You’re made for me.” I pant. Liz moans and wraps her legs around my waist. I pull out and push back in again. I do this several times until she’s close again and so am I. “Come for me, Liz. Coat my dick with your come.” I grunt and thrust forward hard. Liz moans and her walls clamp down. I drive in and out of her body at a fast pace chasing my release as Liz comes. I explode inside of her. I’ve never come so hard in my life.
I slow down my pace and kiss her gently, bringing us both back down from the high we were on. I reluctantly pull out and go into the bathroom to clean up and piss. When I come back to the bedroom, Liz is covered with just a sheet, still naked and watching me.
I walk toward her with no shame in being naked. Her eyes rake over my body and it brings my heart back to life. I stand next to the bed and hold my hand out, “Come get clean with me.” Liz settles her palm against mine and I lift her off the bed like she weighs nothing. Which she does. She’s a small little thing with darkness lurking inside of her that I’m going to bring forward.
We shower together, I explore her body, kissing, nipping and licking every inch of her skin until the water turns cold and we’re forced to get out. After I wrap a towel around my waist, I dry her off, paying close attention to the things she likes. She giggles when I dry off the bottom of her feet and when my hands brush her sides.
“Ace, don’t.” She swears at me and blushes which makes me want to keep on tickling her. “Come on, stop. That’s not fair.”
“What’s not fair?” I ask, teasing Liz.
“You. All the power you have over me and I have nothing over you.”
I stand up and wrap a towel around her body. I can’t have this conversation with her naked. “I’m going to be honest with you, Liz. No one has ever made me feel the way you do. It just isn’t about getting hard and fucking. With you, I want to know everything about you. All your secrets, your past, everything.” I cup the side of her face and bring my lips next to hers. “I mean everything.”
Her breath hitches in her throat, “What do you want to know?”
“First, let’s get dressed and find something to eat. I’m starving.”
“I’m not that hungry.” Liz’s belly growls, giving away her lie.
I smirk, “Yeah, that’s not going to happen. Let’s get some food and then we’ll talk more.”
“Ok, but nothing fattening. I’m trying to lose weight.” Liz’s face flames red when she says it.
I pull the towel away from her body and drag my eyes down her full breasts to the flair of her hips, to the meaty parts of her thighs. I like what I see and tell her. “I see no reason for you to lose weight. You look perfect just the way you are.”
Liz snorts and covers herself up with the towel. “Thanks, Ace but I think you need to have your eyes checked. I’ve gained a lot of weight since I’ve been up here and I’m not skinny like the other girls around here.”
Ok, so her weight is a touchy subject. I’ll have to tread lightly on this one. I pick her up and set her on the counter. I crowd my body between her thighs. Liz opens her legs to make room for me “Liz, it doesn’t matter what you look like, how much weight you put on or lose. I’ll want to be nestled between these thighs for as long as you’ll let me.” I kiss the side of her neck, trailing my lips to hers. “Now, let’s get some food.”
“Hmm… OK, Ace. But I meant what I said.”
“So do I.” I kiss her again and step away. If I don’t we’ll never make it downstairs for food and I can’t have her starving on me. “Besides, you need fuel for the rest of the night.”
“Promises, promises.” Liz hops down off the counter and makes her way into my bedroom. She drops her towel and grabs her clothes.
Fucking right, promises. I will promise her the moon and stars for the rest of my life even if she doesn’t want me anymore. It doesn’t matter. Something shifted inside of me when I laid eyes on Elizabeth Madeline-Rose LeRoux. She is mine and I will protect her with my life.
