Page 13 of Flash (Iron Thunder MC 2)
“I want to see you come. Come for me,” he growled. Our eyes were on each other. My mouth was parted. He kissed the side of my face. His breath was hot and smelled tantalizingly of the same whisky as mine.
“Yes…” I breathed heavily while I inched closer and closer to the edge. His body was so heavy and strong over me. The bed creaked underneath us.
I was so close. I wanted it so badly but then there was a heavy knock on the door. Thud, thud, thud!
Like it was a kind of warning. Neither of us could ignore it now.
Flash groaned and slipped his fingers out of me.
“Fuck!” he growled angrily and got out of bed. All I could do was just lie there in complete shock. I’d been so close to feeling my whole body explode with happiness but now it was so rudely taken away!
I watched Flash go to the door and peep through the hole.
“It’s our MC President. I need to talk to him,” he said, turning to me. What was I supposed to say?
I nodded and pulled the covers off the bed so I could hide under them. He gave me one last apologetic look before he opened the door.
“Drax,” I heard him say and then he stepped out. I couldn’t see them anymore, only hear their muffled voices.
I gulped, staring up at the dark ceiling in awe as I lay there on the strange bed. I had all the covers pulled up to my neck. I had no idea how long Flash would be or what they were discussing. Did he have to go?
What would I do if he said he needed to leave?
I could stay in this room. Hide out in this motel. But how would I pay for the room? I hadn’t checked my purse tonight but wasn’t sure if I could afford it. And what about my car? Billy?
I shuddered at the thought of making my way back alone to the parking lot the next morning. What if Billy was lying in wait for me?
I just wanted Flash to come back, wanted him to return to bed, scoop me up in his arms and undress me again. I wanted to feel his fingers on my skin again. Could we pick up where we left off? Why did this man, this Club President, have to knock on the door?
I pressed my eyes closed and tried to think—think about what I would do. I needed to get out of town. Billy had found me but if I could just slip out of this town without him tracking me down, maybe I’d be safe.
That was all I needed.
Could Flash help me?
Or was he going to be nothing more than a few stolen kisses? Someone who was a good example of the kind of man I should have chosen.
Instead of Billy.
Maybe in another life. If I had another chance.
I turned over to my side and felt those tears again. I didn’t want to cry. I didn’t want to make a scene in someone else’s motel room. The last thing I wanted was to be a nuisance to Flash. But I couldn’t help it. I’d been on the run for so long. I hadn’t slept in a bed for so long or had a decent meal or worn something nice.
It was too much.
Would it be better to just face Billy and stop running? Let him do what he wanted to do? Wouldn’t it be better to face my dark past head-on?
I lay there in bed, keeping very still, hoping Flash would return and hold me close and tell me everything was going to be alright.5Flash“Bolt said he’s been trying to get in touch with you for the past hour,” Drax said. He had a can of beer in one hand and was worrying his ring with the other.
“Oh, shit, right, yeah…I’ve been…”
“Busy. Yeah. I figured,” Drax said. He grinned and tipped his chin in the direction of my room.
“What’s happening?” I asked. Drax breathed in deeply.
“As it fuckin’ turns out, it wasn’t a hoax. Our store was attacked tonight. The alarms went off and Bolt went to check it out with some of the guys.”
“Attacked by whom?”
“They found the security footage. The guys who did the damage were wearing masks to cover their faces, but made sure their badges were visible.” Drax clenched his jaws in anger and I knew what he was talking about.
“Silver Knights?”
“You know it,” he replied and took a deep swig of his beer.
“Fuck!” I growled. I rammed my fist into the wall and Drax cleared his throat.
“Hold steady there, we need you in one piece.”
“I knew this was fuckin’ going to happen.”
“Well, we were hoping it wouldn’t. We were hoping those pissbrains would know better than starting a war.”
“This is bad news, Drax. You know it. Most of our prospects aren’t ready to be patched in or prepared to go into a full-fledged war with another MC.”
