Page 13 of Bolt (Iron Thunder MC 1)
Bolt ran a hand through his hair again. I saw the muscles twitch in his bicep.
“Chip broke the rules. He broke the law.”
“What are you going to do?” I asked again. I met his eyes; he was looking at me unflinchingly. This man meant business.
“I am going to do whatever the rest of my Club deems necessary to uphold the law.”
“You mean the laws you people have created out of thin air?” I snapped.
“They’re the laws we operate on. It’s how our world functions.”
I rolled my eyes, forcing myself to look away from him.
“Your fictional world, where you people believe everything revolves around you.”
“Do you realize how much money that is? A hundred thousand dollars. Your brother played with that kind of cash. He knew exactly what he was doing.”
“There has to be some explanation. Have you tried speaking to him? Have you asked him why he did it?”
Bolt took in a deep breath, his wide shoulders squared. I couldn’t stop myself noticing the way my body reacted to every move he made. I needed to stop thinking about sex at a time like this!
“There’s no explanation. He confessed to it himself, we didn’t have to coax it out of him.”
I shook my head, wasn’t buying it. I didn’t care.
“He never should’ve joined our Club if he wasn’t going to be loyal to us.”
“You’re not going to hurt him,” I said.
“I can’t promise you something like that, Cassie. Your brother is going to be punished for his actions. That is how it works. Do you understand that?”
I stood up from the chair, not caring what he’d do next to make me sit back down. “If you do anything to hurt Chip, I’m going to go to the cops,” I said.
The air shifted between us in that moment. A raging darkness overtook Bolt’s eyes. I could immediately sense he didn’t like the sound of that threat.5BoltGreat. Just fucking great.
Of all the things I had to get involved with, Chip’s feisty, sexy sister was the last thing I needed right now. But she was standing on the other side of the desk, both hands on her wide hips, her breasts sticking proudly out, making the material of her tight top stretch. I wanted those breasts in my hands. I wanted to feel the curves and softness of them.
My cock throbbed. I could feel my veins pumped with adrenaline—a need to possess her, even though I had every reason to fuckin’ hate her right now.
She’d just threatened me with cops, and even though I wished she hadn’t said it, I couldn’t take that threat lightly. I couldn’t just ignore it. Something needed to be done, something she wouldn’t like. But it was her choice. She shouldn’t have threatened us. She should’ve just kept quiet and maybe I could have made things go differently for her.
I glared at her, looking into her bright green eyes.
“You shouldn’t have said that,” I said.
Cassie licked her lips, still trying to hold the fort, keeping her chin up. She was trying her best to assume a position of power, but wouldn’t win this battle.
“Try me. I’ll do it. I’ll do anything I have to do to keep my brother out of harm’s way,” she continued.
“You need to stop talking. Right now. You have no idea what you’re doing to yourself.”
Cassie’s nostrils flared.
“I’m more concerned about my brother now.”
I had to hand it to her. She was loyal to her brother, no matter what I told her about him. I wanted to push her back, pin her to the wall, take her right here and now if I could. But there were more serious matters to attend to.
I took a few steps toward her. She stepped back. I shook my head.
“I have to do this. Do you understand?” I growled. Her breasts heaved. She was glaring at me. Challenging me.
I caught her by her hips and pulled her to me. Our breaths tangled. She didn’t fight me this time and my hands were all over her. I felt those curves again. The warmth of her skin. Her eyes were on me as I pushed my hands into the pockets of her tight jeans. Her breasts brushed my chest. I could feel my cock throbbing.
This woman had no idea what she was doing to me. Or maybe she did.
I pulled her cellphone out of the back pocket of her jeans and held it up.
“I’m going to have to keep this with me,” I said.
“What are you going to do to me?” she asked. I took a step away from her. I needed some distance between us. Just to get a hold of myself again.
“I’m not sure yet but you’re not going anywhere, not for some time.”
Cassie gulped and looked away.
“You people are not going to get away with this,” she hissed.
