Chapter 12
BLITZ
Iturned off the stove and moved quickly, stepping down the hall and following Aubrey toward the bedroom.
My pulse already pounded in anticipation.
The sight of her walking ahead of me drew my eyes to the sway of her hips and the slender line of her neck.
My body tightened, arousal rushing through me so hard it made every muscle ache with need.
I reached her just inside the bedroom door, wrapping my fingers around her wrist and tugging her gently back toward me.
She turned with a surprised, breathless laugh that was quickly swallowed as my mouth came down hard on hers.
The kiss wasn’t soft or careful. It was full of the desperate intensity that had always been building between us.
I pressed her back against the doorframe, my hands sliding up her sides, exploring every sweet curve of her body as my tongue tangled hungrily with hers.
Aubrey’s arms went around my neck, pulling me closer, meeting my intensity with passion of her own.
Her body arched softly against mine, pressing in just the right places to send hunger coursing through my veins.
My cock hardened painfully, pulsing in sharp anticipation of what was to come, and I groaned roughly against her lips, tasting her fully as I deepened the kiss.
We stumbled together toward the bed, neither of us wanting to break contact for even a second.
Clothes fell away hastily, stripped off and tossed carelessly aside until the warmth of her bare skin was finally beneath my palms. I guided her down onto the mattress, settling between her thighs.
The feel of her perfect tits pillowed against my chest nearly made me lose control.
I took her without hesitation, thrusting deep and burying myself completely inside her, savoring the tight heat of her body wrapped firmly around me. “So fucking perfect, sunshine.”
Aubrey gasped, her nails digging into my shoulders as her legs tightened around my waist. “Yes! Oh yes!”
I fucked her like I was trying to make sure she never forgot who she belonged to, moving in long, powerful strokes. Driving deeply and filling her fully with each thrust, watching as her eyes darkened, glazing with pleasure and need.
My voice turned rough, as I whispered against her ear. “You feel so fucking good with your sweet pussy wrapped around my cock, practically strangling me.”
Her nails dug more deeply into my shoulders as my dirty talk escalated into the possessive, breeding kink-filled talk that had surfaced from the deepest part of me. “Gonna keep your belly full of my babies, make sure you know beyond doubt that you belong to me.”
Aubrey’s cries grew louder and more desperate.
She arched against me, her body tightening around me and pulling me closer with each urgent movement of her hips.
She finally unraveled beneath me, her climax shuddering through her, pleasure visibly flooding every inch of her body.
I followed her quickly, letting my release slam through me as I buried myself fully, pulsing inside her, filling her deeply and completely.
Afterward, we lay tangled together, our bodies slick with sweat, our breathing slowly easing as we tried to return to reality.
Aubrey’s head rested against my chest, her breath gentle and even, already drifting into a soft sleep.
I stared at the ceiling, my heart still racing and my body thrumming with the aftershocks of pleasure.
I brushed a slow, absentminded kiss across her forehead, holding her close, letting the weight of the moment settle fully over me. It struck me just how deeply I’d already fallen. I was completely fucked. Aubrey owned me every bit as much as I owned her.
Kane cornered me the next day at the clubhouse. He motioned for me to follow him toward his office, and I didn’t hesitate to comply.
Once we were inside, he closed the heavy door behind us and turned to face me. For a long moment, he read every nuance of the tension in my stance. Kane was never a man you could easily hide things from, especially when those things involved club business or personal turmoil.
“It hasn’t escaped my notice that you haven’t made a move on Tripp yet.
I expected you’d have handled it by now, considering how heated you were when you found out what he’d done.
” He paused, raising one eyebrow. “Or maybe you’ve already put something in motion and just haven’t seen fit to tell me yet? ”
I drew a slow breath, carefully weighing my next words.
Kane deserved honesty, and I wasn’t going to disrespect him by trying to lie or evade the truth, even if the conversation was about to be deeply uncomfortable.
But before I could gather the words to explain myself, Kane continued, his voice taking on a sharper edge.
“Truth is, I figured the recent changes in your routine and mood, your constant distraction, were mostly about a woman. That much was obvious. But there’s something you’re conflicted about. And it’s high fucking time you come clean and tell me what’s really going on.”
His tone held no room for negotiation, and I knew better than to pretend otherwise. Kane was patient when he needed to be, but when he decided it was time for answers, the only option was honesty.
“You’re right. There’s more to it than I’ve let on.” My chest tightened as I prepared to confess the truth I’d carried alone for weeks now. “When I first discovered what Tripp was up to, I lost it. I wanted revenge, and the only way I saw to hurt him was through someone he cared about.”
I quickly and concisely explained the original plan. I watched Kane’s expression harden, anger flashing behind his eyes, his jaw tightening as I laid out each detail of what I’d initially intended. I went on to tell him about deciding not to go through with it, but then I met Aubrey.
“So you planned to weaponize an innocent woman emotionally, to punish her for a betrayal she had nothing to do with?” Each word was clipped with barely contained fury.
He tore me a new asshole before finally ending with, “That kind of bullshit’s beneath this club, and it’s damn fucking sure beneath you. ”
His words cut deeply, and I took every single hit without argument. I didn’t try to defend myself, because there was no excuse for what I’d almost done. Instead, I looked him squarely in the eye and nodded, accepting every ounce of his anger and disappointment.
“You’re right. It was fucked up. You have every reason to tear me apart for it, and I deserve every damn word you throw my way. I’m sorry.”
Kane visibly worked to cool his anger enough to respond rationally.
When he finally spoke, his tone was slightly less harsh, tempered by an understanding of my sincerity.
“I can see you changed your course—clearly you never went through with it. The fact that you stopped yourself before you met her proves you’re still the man I thought you were.
But it doesn’t erase the intention, Blitz.
That’s not who we are, and if it happens again, I’ll have your patch and your fucking dignity. Do I make myself clear?”
I nodded. “I fucked up. But now I’m caught between Tripp’s lies and my own omissions to Aubrey. I still haven’t figured out how I’m gonna work all this shit out. But I’ll do whatever it takes to prove to her that I’m not that man.”
Kane exhaled deeply, releasing the last of his anger. “I can see why you kept seeing her, though. She got under your skin, didn’t she? Fell for her hard enough to make you reconsider your whole damn life.”
There was no point in denying it. “Yeah. It wasn’t supposed to happen like this. I wasn’t supposed to care about her. But now there’s nothing I wouldn’t do to keep her, and I need to figure out how to make it right.”
Kane considered everything I’d confessed. “Gonna let you off with the lecture and a warning this time. But you need to hear this clearly, Blitz—when Aubrey finds out the truth, you’re going to need a hell of a lot more than an apology. If she leaves your ass, you fucking earned it.”
I almost flinched. Losing Aubrey wasn’t an option, and if it took me a lifetime to earn back her trust and forgiveness, that’s exactly what I would do.
Kane seemed to understand exactly where my mind had gone.
After a moment, he let out another quiet breath.
“Given that you’ve made it clear how deeply you’ve fallen for her, and that I trust your judgment of the kind of person she is, I’m gonna allow you to explain some club business to her.
Just enough to show you trust her. But you're gonna have a hell of a challenge convincing her it was always real.”
“It was,” I growled. “It is.”
“I know.” Then he delivered one final warning. “But brother, you’d better pray she believes that too.”
My resolve remained unshaken, even fully understanding the weight of what I was up against. “I’ll make it right, Kane. Whatever it takes, however long. She’s mine, and there’s no fucking way I’ll ever give her up.”
