Chapter 18
EIGHTEEN
HEAT
“You okay, Trouble?” I ask, holding a limp McKenna up in the shower.
I hated asking her to help me with Brimstone, but I know my brother well enough to know him coming in my room the way he did, seeking help, it wasn’t easy on him. Trusting him with my woman’s body, giving him the help he needed, I knew he understood exactly what I was giving.
It’s not the first time he and I have shared a woman, but I hadn’t thought about what it would be like with a woman I had a connection to.
If it were for any other reason, or anyone else, I’d lose my shit at the mere thought, however, with what we did, it was simply intense. It’s a good thing Brimstone put up the barrier to keep the others from hearing. McKenna had been wild.
She’d been wild for me, and I knew the only reason she was wild was because of me. It excited her to have both Brim and me, but it was more about the experience of being with her man.
The trust in that alone hits hard. I didn’t expect to ever feel for a woman, let alone as much as I do for McKenna. She’s quickly wormed her way in in a handful of days.
“Sleepy,” McKenna mumbles, leaning heavily into me, making me chuckle.
“Don’t worry, baby, you’ll be able to sleep soon.” As much as I wanted to join her in bed, I was going to have to handle business.
“Hmmm.”
Fuck, she’s cute.
Brimstone and I put her through the hoops, working her up repeatedly. Three releases were what it took for Brimstone to be back to normal. Each release, I came inside my woman while he pulled from inside her.
While he’d had her pussy, something I’d allow no other man to do, I took McKenna’s ass.
Her pleads for me to take her there just showed me how much she trusted me.
She begged me to take her there, and damn if I couldn’t deny her request. After I had her ass, I cleaned her up and fucked her pussy again while Brimstone took her there, splashing his release on her back when he was spent.
Shit. We all were.
“Need you to tell me, baby, you okay?”
McKenna tilts her head back and gives me a smile. “I’m okay, Rankin,” she says and wraps her arms around my neck. “But can you do something for me?”
“What’s that?” I’d do anything for her. No matter what it was.
“I want you to fuck me again. Right here in the shower.”
My cock jerks at her demand, and I grin. “Thought you were sleepy.”
“Hmmm, I am, but I want you. I need you. I enjoyed everything we did, but I still need just you. To know that I’m yours and you won’t think I’m a slut for . . .”
“Do not finish that sentence,” I grumble.
Lifting her off her feet, I press her back to the tile wall and slide deep inside her drenched pussy. “Fuck, you do love having my cock inside you.”
“Yes,” she moans.
Seated inside her, I stop, enjoying the way her pussy convulses around me, but I also want my point made with us connected. “Look at me, McKenna,” I command, watching her closely.
McKenna’s eyes flutter open, and I give her what she needs.
“You are no slut, baby. Never. What we did, it was about helping my brother. He needed it. He didn’t want to go to the horas for help.
They’d run their mouths, and word would get back to Kinley.
He put his trust in you to have his back.
That’s not a slut thing to do. As for you, you needed me back inside you, just the two of us.
I’ve got no problem being inside you. Touching you, fuckin’ you, lovin’ you, nothing will stop me.
Told you, you’re mine and I ain’t letting go. ”
“Okay,” she whispers and tightens her legs around me before blowing my mind. “I’ve fallen for you, Rankin. More than fallen. I think I fell for you the first time I saw you.”
“Right there with you, Trouble.”
Kissing her, I give us both what we need. The connection. Just the two of us.
“You should be sleeping,” I grunt, looking down at my woman, tucked into me.
“I don’t want to be alone,” she mumbles before hiding her yawn behind her palm. “I’ll just curl up on your couch while you work. I can even put headphones on if there’s something you don’t want me to hear you discussing.”
As much as I want her to sleep and do that in my bed, I’m not going to complain about her being close. I get her need to feel close to me. The feeling is mutual.
“All right, Trouble, you can hang out with me. I’m not gonna make you put headphones on.” I chuckle, tucking her deeper into my side, guiding her to my office.
I’ll get Leon to come in there once I know she’s comfortably stretched out on the couch.
I barely get my ass in my seat before McKenna is out like a light.
I pull out my phone, snap a quick picture of her, and save it as my background.
It’s probably a pussy thing to do, but I didn’t care.
Ready to get business handled, I text Brimstone telling him to come in here. His response is right away.
A few minutes pass before Brimstone enters with Leon, Fire, Pyro, and Leon’s bouncer, Rashon.
Leon and Rashon both look to where McKenna is fast asleep.
Brimstone glances her way and gives me a cock of the brow, silently questioning if she was okay.
I give a slight jerk of the chin in answer and wait for the men to have a seat.
“There a reason Rashon is here?” I ask, my question directed at Leon.
“He’s one of my trusted people. I’ve briefed him on what had happened to Mick,” Leon answers, leaning forward to brace his elbows on his knees. “What I’m about to share does not leave this room.”
“You can trust my brothers that what you share will not be spread,” I tell him.
Leon nods and sits back in the chair, “Rashon’s mother is a light fairy. His father is half fae, half human. Rashon has taken more after his father’s side and is more human than supernatural. However, he does have some power that makes him reliable. He’s also loyal to me, Hel, and McKenna.”
“Okay, so what does this all have to do with anything?” I didn’t need the guy’s backstory.
“It has to do with the fact I’ve also asked my mother for a medallion to give to McKenna. It’s for protection that will hide her from the evils that want to find her,” Rashon explains.
I glance over at my woman sleeping. I could see the exhaustion in her even while she slept.
“Let me see it,” Brimstone demands, hand out stretching, palm up, waiting.
Rashon withdraws it from his pocket and hands the dainty necklace to my VP. Brimstone closes his eyes and murmurs words. Thankfully, whatever he’s doing won’t leave him spent and filled with magical energy built up to the point of him nearly killing himself.
A moment later, Brim opens his eyes and looks at me. “It’s light magic. Pure. Your call.” He hands the necklace to me, and I look at it. It’s not gaudy by any means. Expensive. The medallion in the middle will sit just between McKenna’s breasts.
“What do you get out of this ordeal for having your mother make this for McKenna?” I don’t know Rashon. I didn’t care if he was loyal or not. He wasn’t a member of this club. He wasn’t a brother of mine.
“McKenna’s a friend. I don’t want to see her hurt.
The day I saw her, and you showed up, I called Leon here to tell him, and he filled me in on what he knew.
I take care of the girls who work for Leon.
But I always have McKenna’s back. No matter what.
She’s had more than a fair share of men wanting her.
You see her on stage, she’ll have you enchanted by her moves.
That’s what she does to men. They want a piece of her.
Can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten my hands bloody because of men wanting to get to her. ”
“That’s a fact,” Leon grunts, getting my attention. “It’s a protection that will help, but it’s not foolproof. She doesn’t have to wear it here at the clubhouse, the wards will do. But you go out, it’ll keep her safe enough.”
Safe enough. I didn’t like the sound of that.
“You got anything else to share?” I ask.
“I did a little digging and asking around. I believe we’re right that it’s Tarron after her.
He hasn’t appeared around town, nor has he visited my club, where he spends most nights.
I also found out from Hel that this full moon is symbolic to the dark elves.
The veil between realms will be thin enough that he can release souls of the darkest fae and elven alike.
He’s looking to start a war. My theory is that he wants to use McKenna as the key to break through. ”
That cannot happen. I won’t let it. I’ll kill the bastard first, which leads me to my question.
“How do I kill the fucker?”
