Chapter 8 #2
“And we’re the ones who are taking all the risks in moving the goods.” His tone remained firm as he continued, “We’re not trying to take advantage here, Kiersten. You will still bring home a great deal of money, and with us running the distribution, you can put your focus into your work.”
“And all expenses will be handled first, including what I pay my people?”
“Absolutely.”
“Okay. I can agree on that.”
“Good. I plan on coming out to your place this week to check things out for myself, and when I do, I’ll bring two of the brothers along with me. They will be staying there to help out with security. They will rotate out each week and...”
“Wait... That’s not necessary. I have Braylon, and Riggs has...”
“I know all about the security system Riggs set up for you, and while it’s impressive, he and I both agree that you need more than three men to watch over things.”
“You spoke to Riggs?”
“Of course, I did. I owed it to you and to Fury to know everything there was to know about Langford Manor, including what kind of security you have and who’s in charge of it. And frankly, Braylon and the other two just aren’t enough.”
“Okay. If you think they need to be there, then that’s what we’ll do.”
“I’m glad you agree.”
“So, that covers everything, right?”
“I believe it does.” Viper stood and extended his hand as he said, “We look forward to doing business with you.”
I shook his hand and then Axel’s as I replied, “And I look forward to working with you as well.”
“I hope you will hang around for a while.” Axel smiled as he said, “The boys have a little celebration planned for later tonight.”
Grayson and I were planning on heading back tonight, but after our night by the fire, I was intrigued by the idea of a party with Grayson and his brothers. “Sure, I’d love to.”
“I’ll let them know that you’ll be there.”
I nodded, then headed out of the office and started back down the hall.
I was tempted to open one of the many doors, just to see what was inside the different rooms, but decided against it when I noticed one of the brothers walking in my direction.
He was around my age, extremely handsome with dirty blond hair, and a friendly smile.
When he approached, he gave me a quick once over and said, “You must be Kiersten.”
“I am.” I was feeling pretty good after my meeting with Viper, so I smiled and asked, “And you are?”
“The guys call me Locke.”
“It’s nice to meet ya, Locke.”
“You coming to the party tonight?”
Before I could answer, Grayson stepped into the hallway and growled, “Time to move on, Locke.”
“What?” He turned and gave Country an innocent smile. “I was just asking the pretty lady if she was coming to the party tonight.”
“I know exactly what you were doing, and I’m telling ya it’s time to move on,” Grayson barked.
Locke threw his hands up in surrender as he stepped back and said, “Okay, brother. Point taken.”
Without another word, Locke turned and disappeared down the hall. Once he was gone, I stepped over to Grayson and asked, “What was that all about?”
“You know exactly what it was about.”
“He was just being nice.”
“He was trying to get in your fucking pants.”
“I doubt that, but even if he was, there’s only one Sinner that’s gettin’ in these pants.”
Grayson cocked his eyebrow as he said, “Is that an invitation?”
“Absolutely.” I smiled as I slipped my arms around his waist. “But it will have to wait until later ‘cause we’ve got some celebrating to do.”
“Oh yeah?”
“Um-hmm. My meeting with Viper went even better than I expected.”
“That’s what I’m talking about.” He leaned down and gave me a brief kiss. “I knew you had nothing to worry about.”
“Well, I wasn’t so sure, but I really think this could be a great deal for all of us.”
“I’m sure it will be.” He slipped his arm around my back, inching me closer as he teased, “Now, what about that invitation?”
“I’m ready when you are.” The words had barely left my mouth when I was lifted into the air and tossed over Grayson’s shoulder. “Grayson!”
Ignoring me, he continued down the hall, then suddenly stopped and opened a door, revealing a small bedroom that reminded me of a hotel room.
I didn’t have time to notice much more before Grayson had lowered my feet to the wall and had me pinned to the wall.
He didn’t speak. He simply planted his lips on mine and begin devouring my mouth with a kiss that my knees tremble.
He dropped his hands to the button of my jeans and quickly lowered the zipper.
Seconds later, his hand was between my legs, and he was raking his fingers across my center.
“I’m glad you’re ready for me, baby, because we don’t have time for all the bells and whistles.
We gotta be quick. The guys will be waiting for us. ”
“I’m good with quick.”
I kicked off my boots and made fast work of my jeans and panties.
When I turned back to Grayson, he was standing before with his jeans lowered to his hips and was rolling on a condom.
I barely had time to blink before he had my back pinned to the wall once again, and my legs were wrapped around him.
He drove into with one hard thrust, filling me completely.
I clung to him as he continued with a hard, demanding pace.
It wasn’t long before I felt that familiar churn in my abdomen.
My orgasm was coming hard and fast just like Grayson’s rhythm.
I cried out as my release crash over me, and Grayson soon followed as we continued to cling to one another.
After several moments, I looked up at him and smiled. “That might’ve been quick, but I’m pretty sure I heard some bells and a whistle.”
“Well, if you thought you heard them now, just wait until later tonight.”
