Chapter Eight Maverick
I sat outside the back porch drinking my cup of coffee.
It was the next morning around five or so.
The sun was slowly beginning to rise over the property line, which was my favorite part about waking up early in the morning.
Not that I really slept much. The war had fucked me up more than I let on, but I wasn’t struggling as bad as I used to.
Now, I just have the sporadic dream that puts me back overseas, which keeps me from sleeping much most nights.
I only did four tours as a marine. I was lost as the club was reeling from our own war with the Sons, and after getting patched in, I thought it would help me find a purpose in both my life and in the club.
After my last tour, I saw a lot of shit and even did a lot of shit, but it showed me that my place was by my pops and with the club and not fighting some war that I had no business fighting.
No one was up yet, so I hadn’t put a shirt on.
I was just wearing a pair of pajama pants.
It was the day after Thea arrived, and my head was still spinning from the shock of it all.
She carried herself differently than most women.
I could tell that something was bothering her, eating away at her, but she didn’t seem like she wanted to talk about it.
Was she too prideful or did she not think her brother cared enough to help?
Right now, that didn’t matter because I had more important matters at hand. I had been late to dinner last night because I had gotten a call from Sheriff Brinkley. They found another fucking kid dead from an overdose, but this time it happened in the next town over.
This shit was out of hand. Of course, the sheriff had no leads, but I would never expect a pig to do their jobs.
All we needed was to find a kid who was buying this shit and was still alive so we could find his dealer and make him take us to his supplier.
The cops couldn’t even tell us where the coke originated from, which would also help point us to a supplier.
All I could hope is that it was just a stupid kid not knowing what he was doing.
I didn’t want to have to go to war with another club or the mafia over this, but I would if it meant getting my fucking town under control.
I heard a noise coming from the door, and then Thea stepped out.
It was still pretty dark outside, so she didn’t see me sitting there.
She walked up and grabbed the deck railing and took a deep breath out.
She looked like she was having trouble sleeping.
I couldn’t help but glance over her body.
She was wearing a pair of black track shorts that came right below her ass and a sports bra.
She looked sexy as fuck, and I knew I had to say something so I didn’t come off as a creeper.
“I’m not used to other people being awake this early,” I said from behind her. She jumped as she heard my voice. Turning around, she put a hand over her heart and gave me a big smile as she looked at me.
“You scared the shit out of me,” she said as she picked up a pillow from the patio bench and tossed it at me.
Catching the pillow, I laughed and pointed to the seat next to me. “Sit,” I said to her. I know I promised Ares I would leave her alone, but I can’t help the temptation as she smiled at me.
“Oh, no. You were here first, I don’t want to bother you,” she said as she tucked a piece of her blonde hair behind her ear.
“No worries,” I said. “I could use the company.”
She sat only a few inches away from me on the bench, and my heart rate seemed to pick up. I wasn’t nervous to be around her, obviously, but something about her excited me. I waited a couple more seconds for her to say something and she didn’t, so I decided to break the silence.
“Couldn’t sleep?”
She took a long deep breath out. “Not really, and you?”
“Me neither.”
She nodded. “I’m not mad at you for telling my brother what happened, in case you were wondering.”
“I wasn’t,” I gave her a cheeky smile and she rolled her eyes laughing. “It’s a code. You know? I didn’t tell anyone any of the details, though.” I took another sip of my coffee and looked out towards the distance.
“The details,” I heard her whisper.
“Yeah,” I replied, darkening my voice. I turned my eyes back on her and gave her sexy body a once-over. “Like how you like to be choked and talked dirty to.”
I gave her a playful smirk and I saw her squirm in her seat at the sound of my words. I knew once again I was getting to her. I lowered my head towards her and whispered, “Or, how fucking sexy you sounded coming on my dick.”
Her eyes slammed shut and her head tilted back. Fuck, I knew I shouldn’t be doing this. I knew I should have just left her alone, but I couldn’t. This vixen had been running through my fucking mind since the moment I laid eyes on her.
“Bane,” she said my name for the first time, and fuck the blood in my head rushed straight to my dick.
“Yes sweetheart?”
She shot her eyes open and looked at me and they were filled with lust. Together, we both went in for a kiss, and it was just as intoxicating as last time. The connection we had was like none that I ever had before, and I couldn’t pull away no matter how much I knew I should.
I pulled her onto my lap without breaking a kiss.
I slowly traced my tongue against her, trying my best not to get lost in the smell of fucking vanilla.
Before I knew it, I was sliding my pajama pants down enough for my dick to spring out ready for duty.
I broke the kiss only because I wanted to see her eyes when I slammed my cock in her again.
Pulling her shorts to the side, I looked deep in her eyes and said, “Are you ready, baby?” I wasn’t sure why I asked her, but now, looking back, I think it’s because a part of me knew that in that moment we were about to cross a line that couldn’t ever be uncrossed.
“Fuck me, Bane,” is all she said and that’s exactly what I did.
I slammed her hips down and watched as her face lit up with pleasure and her head tilted back.
Fuck, she was so wet and tight. I pumped in and out of her as she rode my dick.
Grabbing on to her neck, I squeezed a little and watched her come undone.
She tilted her head back further and closed her eyes and I squeezed her neck a little harder.
“Eyes on me, baby girl.”
She looked down at me and I watched as she rode out her orgasm. I didn’t think I could ever get tired of watching my little vixen come undone like this. Once I knew she had come down, I stood up while grabbing on to her thighs. Walking towards the rail, I put her down.
“Turn around and hold on,” I said, and she did.
I grabbed onto her shorts and slid them down.
Without much warning, I bent her back down with one hand and used the other to help slide my cock in her.
She let out a gasp as I kept driving into her.
I wanted to take her there one more time before I busted all over her.
One of my hands went up to pull her up by her hair and the other I used to hold her hips still. I got my head close to her ear.
“That’s it, baby. Feel my dick in you.”
Her moans got louder the more I spoke. “Fuck,” I said, feeling her pussy clench down on me. “Take a look at the sunrise, baby. You see that shit?”
“That shit ain’t got nothing on how beautiful you look coming on my dick.”
“Oh my god,” she screamed as I felt her body jerk with her orgasm running through her body. Once again, her tight ass pussy took me there too.

THEA
Fuck. My heart was still racing as Bane slid his dick out of me.
That wasn’t supposed to happen, and I knew it.
From the slightly guilty look he gave me, I knew he knew it, too.
I couldn’t help it, though. I had woken up from another nightmare, and I just needed some air.
When I saw Bane outside, I couldn’t ignore the way my heart raced, and since he was such a goddamn flirt, I was turned on before I even knew it.
“I think I’m going to go take a shower,” I said, adjusting my shorts.
“Running away again?” he said, and my eyes jumped to his blue ones. “Kidding,” he said laughing.
“I’m sorry I left without saying anything yesterday. I got a lot of stuff running through my head and I wasn’t expecting us to have such a-,” I let my voice trail off, not wanting to say the word.
He walked up to me and gave me a small smile. Grabbing my face, he kissed me, but not like an I-want-to-fuck-you kiss, like a slow, intimate kiss. “Same,” was all he said and then he walked inside, leaving me alone to think about what the fuck that even just meant.
***
Sitting at the kitchen table, I was eating breakfast. Most everyone was awake after I had gotten out of the shower, so I decided to join them.
My brother hadn’t said two words to me and neither did I to him.
Honestly, everyone in the room was pretty quiet like they were waiting for the next screaming match to begin.
Washing my dish in the sink, Anna and Serena cornered me. “Good morning, Thea,” a perky Serena said to me. “I was thinking today, Anna and I could take you to show you around town.”
Every part of me wanted to scream no, but the genuine look of excitement on their faces told me not to. “Sure,” was all I said and turned away. I heard their squeals behind me.
“Babe, you can send a prospect with us if you want but we’ll be out most of the day,” Serena informed my brother and he just grunted at her. She placed a kiss on his cheek and he put a hand on her stomach and smiled back at her. I couldn’t help but smile at them too.
“They’re adorable like that all the time,” Anna said with her nose scrunched up, “It’s nauseating.”
We both laughed and Serena flipped her the bird. “It’s okay, Anna. We’ll get you a man soon.”
Anna rolled her eyes playfully at her and walked away.
My phone vibrated in my pocket and I looked down to see it was Chase video calling me. I stepped out of the room to go answer it.
“Hey, Chase. You good?”
“No,” was all he said, and I knew exactly what he needed.
The night I met Chase, I wasn’t expecting us to get as close as we did.
We were at some frat party, and after Bridgette introduced us, I couldn’t help but wonder about the sadness he carried in his eyes.
Though he looked like every other frat boy douche at the party, he seemed different.
Later that night, I went to the bathroom to pee and I caught him shooting heroin up his arm.
After throwing the needle on the ground in shame, he looked at me with tears in his eyes and said, “I just wanted to feel again.”
After what had gone down in Italy, I knew exactly how he felt.
We had spent all night on the bathroom floor talking about our lives, and he told me that he had watched as his high school sweetheart died from a heroin overdose in his arms. He never understood why she was so into it, so sometimes, when he’d really missed her, he would shoot up to feel close to her.
It was fucked, but who was I to judge him?
That was some pretty dark shit. That night, I made him promise that when he missed Kat, his girlfriend, he’d call me or come get me instead, and he’s been doing just that ever since.
“It’s okay, dude. Come help me pick out some clothes to go shopping in,” I said, offering him a reassuring smile.
After talking to Chase, I felt much better about my day. I told him about Bane, and he almost blew his top. He said I needed to work through my shit and not get wrapped up in another guy. I didn’t disagree with him, but when Bane and I were alone, my better judgment flew out the door.
