Chapter 13 Rafe
RAFE
This woman was going to drive me insane.
I relaxed my grip on her wrist while still keeping her moving forward.
My intention was to frighten her into obeying and enjoy every sound she made throughout the process.
My time of being gentle ended when she challenged me in front of Bishop and Ash.
Something about her outspoken demeanor rattled my cage and unleashed the feral side of my nature. Time to show her my reality.
A tiny whimper lilted in the air.
Noelle walked ahead of me on her tiptoes.
I’d twisted her arm up behind her back, being careful not to actually hurt her as I asserted my dominance.
Ash and Bishop remained behind.
They knew better than to interfere. Soft red hair brushed over my knuckles, and I flexed my empty hand, digging my fist into my thigh to keep the animalistic growl at bay.
Not yet.
Contain and control.
Noelle’s hips swayed when she took the last step onto the second floor.
Her tongue darted out to the corner of her mouth. “Where are we going?”
“My office.” I nudged her forward with a knee against her luscious ass. “Keep walking.”
She did as I ordered, and a thrill thickened my cock.
Damn, I was going to enjoy this.
Every word out of her mouth earlier worked under my skin, twisting and writhing until my veins burned hotter than lit motor oil.
She saw us.
Somehow, this woman saw behind the cold, hard mask I’d spent years perfecting and putting into action.
“You’re going to learn, one way or the other.” I nudged her again. “You do not try to correct me. You do not question my authority. What I say goes. End of story.”
“That isn’t much of a story.” She took a shaky breath and twisted the doorknob to my office.
The door swung open, and I released her hand. “I don’t give a fuck about your story. This is my life, the life I’ve spent decades building. I refuse to let you tear it down.”
I clamped my lips shut.
I’d given away too much.
A savvy woman like Noelle would read between the lines.
I couldn’t trust her, and if I couldn’t trust her, I could not, under any circumstances, let her discover the truth about our activities.
I pushed her toward my desk. “Take off your clothes.”
For us to survive as a club, we needed the edge of my being a hard ass.
The members of the Steel Vipers could ride the roads and check on the elderly.
We could sneak around on Christmas and deliver gifts, and we could feed people when needed.
But our rivals could never find out about our nice extracurricular activities.
They’d all come for us, and it wouldn’t be pretty.
Threats came every other day.
I kept them at bay.
Me.
That was what every club needed at its head if they were going to survive.
They needed a man like me, someone willing to do whatever it took to keep us together.
Noelle shifted from foot to foot, her bottom lip pulled between her teeth. “Rafe?”
“You heard me.” I snapped the words at her at the same time that I whipped off my belt in a two-handed motion that caused every belt loop to pop.
Noelle’s eyes widened.
She reached the bottom of her sweater, inching it up toward her midriff while walking away from me.
“What’s happening?” Her hands dipped beneath the sweater and she shimmied the material over her stomach.
A hitch in her breathing drew my gaze up from the expanse of exposed skin to the delicate curve of her lips.
“I’m teaching you a lesson.” I popped the belt against my palm. “And to do that, you will take off your clothes. You will submit to me.”
The wide eyes narrowed, and I saw the thoughts tumbling.
I knew the minute she realized what I was saying, what I had planned.
Her cheeks pinked, and she worked the sweater all the way off.
Her lips quirked as she bundled the sweater into a ball and dropped it into the chair behind my desk.
She started to sit.
“You’re not allowed to sit down.” I pointed the belt at her. “Bend over to take your shoes off.”
She did, turning to show me her ass.
The bootlaces gave her a little trouble, and she cursed under her breath when her fingers began to tremble.
“Too slow, Noelle.” I tapped her ass with the belt, testing her reaction and her tolerance.
I wasn’t above pushing her to her limits, but I had to find them first. “When I give you an order, you obey. Immediately.”
“Yes, Rafe.” She didn’t flinch away from the belt, and she worked faster to remove her boots.
Seconds later, she kicked them aside and shimmied out of her leggings.
She wore a pair of red and white candy-striped panties with a red bra.
Lace trimmed the edges of both, and my mouth watered with the need to taste every inch of her flesh.
To sink myself deep inside her.
My fingers spasmed.
Soon, I’d knot my hands in her hair and pull that glorious head back as I rode her.
Watching me, she reached back and unclasped the bra, letting it drop from her shoulders.
Her peaked nipples stood out against her creamy skin, and when she hooked her thumbs in the edges of her panties to slide them down, I took a step toward her.
“Bend over the desk.” I pointed over her shoulder at the long black desk I favored. “I’m going to show you exactly why you do not argue with me.”
Her lips flattened into a thin line.
She wanted to speak, to argue even more, but resisted.
I followed her to the desk. “Stretch out your arms and hold onto the edge.”
She did as I ordered, her breaths coming short and fast.
Her breasts pressed hard into the flat surface, and she turned her head to watch me as I prowled behind her.
“I’m sorry.” There was only a hint of fear in the response and zero remorse.
I smacked the belt against my palm again. “No, you’re not.” I popped her ass with the belt. “You’re not sorry that you questioned my role as leader in front of my men.”
She bucked and sucked in a sharp gasp that ended with a moan.
I popped her a second time, and she cried out my name in a breathy voice.
Her knuckles whitened with her grip on the desk. “What do you want me to say?”
“I don’t want you to say anything.” I rubbed the red mark on her ass. “I want you to understand that I am the boss. I own you, Noelle. You will never question anything I say again.”
I didn’t wait for her affirmation as I reached over her and grabbed a handful of her hair.
I pulled her head back, relishing the control I had over her body and her pleasure.
Her pupils dilated when I cranked her neck and forced her to look into my eyes.
“I’m going to make sure you understand.” My cock throbbed.
My entire body sizzled with power and pleasure.
She nodded, and her tongue darted out to lick her lower lip. “Please.”
“That’s a good girl, but I haven’t asked you anything.” I released her hair and moved behind her, raising the belt at the same time.
“Your ass is a lovely shade of red, Noelle.” I increased the power behind my swing and let the belt strike both her ass cheeks at the same time.
As soon as the leather bit into her skin, she yelped and rose onto her tiptoes.
“Fuck, Rafe.” Her groan said everything I needed to hear.
She pressed her cheek into the desk and shifted her weight toward me.
“Not yet.” I adjusted my pants to accommodate my growing length.
Grabbing her hair again, I stalked around the desk, unzipping my pants as I walked. “You’re going to suck my cock, Noelle. You’re going to take me deep into your throat. Deeper than you ever have before. Until you can’t breathe and you choke on my dick.” I forced her head back.
“Yes, Rafe.” Licking her lower lip again, she eyed my cock with a deep hunger.
“Say it.” I slid my cock along the seam of her lips.
She opened for me. “I’m going to suck your cock until I choke.”
“Good girl.” I slid between her teeth and down her throat.
A growl built in the back of my throat when she convulsed around me. “Deeper, Noelle. Open your jaw. Relax.”
I massaged the hinge of her jaw, then dug my fingers into her flesh until she opened wider.
I pumped into her mouth, forcing my cock past her gag reflex.
She choked and coughed, but I refused to budge.
Determination glittered in her beautiful eyes, and she swallowed around me, letting me fuck her throat with all the savageness I desperately craved.
“That’s it. Keep sucking my cock, sweet angel. Do a good enough job and I’ll make you come. Then I’ll fuck you so hard, you’ll remember our lesson for the rest of your life.” I withdrew to the edge of her lips, gave her a second to breathe, and filled her throat again.
She hummed around me, the vibrations of her throat rippling over my sensitive dick.
I withdrew without warning and stalked back around the desk. “Open your legs, Noelle.” I barked out the order while gliding the belt over her ass and up her back.
She trembled and squeezed her thighs together for an instant before she did as I commanded.
“Wider.” I tapped her feet with my heel. “As wide as you fucking can. I want every inch of you exposed.” I removed my clothes slowly, letting her watch me from the side. “Be good and do as I say, and you’ll enjoy this.” She was going to enjoy it anyway.
I wasn’t a sadist, but being in control and playing this role turned me on.
I wanted it to last forever, and I planned on dragging out the pleasure as long as possible.
“Now.” I cupped her ass and spread her open, nestling my cock at her entrance. “Swear you will never question how I run things.”
She pressed into me. “I swear, Rafe.”
I pulled away from her.
“No.” She pushed the heels of her hands against the desk and lifted her chest up. “Where are you going?”
I tsked and shook my head. “There you go, questioning me again.” I popped her with the belt three times in quick succession, then slid a hand between her legs.
“You’re dripping wet for me. You want my cock, but you don’t respect my authority.
That has to change.” I eased a finger into her pussy and crooked it.
“I’m not giving you my cock until you obey me. ”
Her mouth fell open as her eyes flickered closed. “I’ll listen. I promise.”
I praised her again, and the pink in her cheeks darkened.
She liked it.
I’d been hesitant at first, but from the moment we first claimed Noelle, I’d realized she was different from anyone else.
This proved it. Noelle basked in my praise.
She had no fear of me, and she played along with my games.
If I were going to fall for anyone, it would be someone like Noelle.
Someone fierce and passionate.
Good thing I had no plans of falling in love.
