Chapter 9

Ivy

We rode his bike in silence back to my apartment. I didn't question why we didn't go back to his place. He lived with his brothers, too much risk one might come home and… I couldn't finish the thought.

Parking his bike in the parking lot, Axel helped me off his bike and we walked hand in hand to my apartment. Once inside, everything changed.

Before I could even register what was happening, Axel took my face in his hands and kissed me. Pushing my lips open, his tongue entered my mouth and I couldn't help the moan that had escaped. Lifting me up, I wrapped my legs around his waist as he continued the deep kiss .

"Bedroom," he managed to say, as his lips still claimed mine.

I pointed down the hall and as he carried me, my hands roamed through his wild hair. With each kiss and touch, my need for Axel grew. His rock-hard cock was pushing against my most sensitive part and I felt like I may lose all control before we even reached the bedroom.

Kicking my bedroom door open, we tumbled inside and together, we fell onto my bed.

Axel bounced under me as our bodies rocked against the mattress.

Turning me over, he held his body over top of me. His muscles bulged through his shirt and my hands gripped them tightly. The room was dark and the only light provided came through the window as the moonlight filtered through.

"Ivy, I need you now," he whispered.

"Axel, I want you. Take me," I pleaded.

Leaning down, he placed his lips against mine again and his hands began to trail down my neck, slowly building the fire within me.

His fingers caressed my sensitive skin and as he continued over my breasts he squeezed and I writhed beneath him.

With one hand he massaged my breasts, taking his time with each one, while his other hand skimmed the bottom of my shirt, lifting it up and over my head. Somewhere, he discarded it on the floor.

Moving my hands, I removed my bra giving him more access to my taut nipples .

"Hey, that's my job," Axel groaned.

He sounded so demanding and I liked how his tone caused me to grow wet with need.

"I was just trying to help," I said, biting my bottom lip.

Leaning down, he placed his mouth on my nipple and began to suck. I couldn't handle the pleasure he was providing as my hands dug into his back. I was urging him to continue as he satisfied my need.

"I need to hear you beg for me," Axel growled as he began to trail his kisses down my stomach toward my panties.

Removing his mouth, Axel lifted my hips and pulled my jeans and panties off in one swift motion.

I gasped as the cool air hit my now bare flesh.

I had never been asked to beg before. My few sexual encounters were not bad, but they were just sex. This felt like much more. Like a controlled sensual act. Just the thought of Axel controlling me as he pleasured me heated me in waves.

"Please, Axel. Do what you want with me," I moaned.

Smiling, Axel looked up at me one last time before his tongue began to lick down my stomach until he reached my most sensitive area. Using his hands, he parted my legs and began to trail kisses around my thighs, licking and biting as he made his way around my mound.

My body tingles in anticipation for what was about to come.

My mouth fell open as I watched him work his way around my body. I felt like begging again, but he stopped .

Leaning on his knees, Axel pulled off his shirt and began to unbuckle his jeans. All the while, staring deep into my eyes. I lay beneath him, naked and awaiting him. I was vulnerable right now, but I had never felt freer in my life. Our eyes remained locked until he pulled down his boxers, revealing his very large and erect dick.

I had never seen anything so marvelously large and beautiful in all my life.

"Axel…" I began, but words failed me.

Kicking off his shoes he quickly pulled off his boxers and jeans until we were both naked in my bed.

He leaned back down and with one finger, began to trace the outline of my throbbing mound.

"Damn, baby. You are so wet," he said, licking his lips as he watched his finger move all around me. My eyes remained locked on his face, watching the pleasure he saw and created. As his finger dipped inside of me, I thought I was going to come undone immediately. He only teased me though, as he removed his finger and placed one last kiss on my inner thigh, he began making his way back up my stomach.

He could sense my frustration and he laughed.

"As much as I want to taste you right now, I can't wait any longer to be inside of you," he said as our lips met once again.

"As long as you promise I won't have to wait long," I sighed.

Axel smiled against my mouth as he leaned down and grabbed my hand. "Put me inside of you," he demanded .

Happily, I placed my hand around his large cock and led it to my opening. I had never been so happy to submit to one's desire and demands.

In one thrust, Axel entered me and my body writhed from the pleasure it caused.

As he began to rock in and out of me, I slid my hands up his abs, feeling each ripple of muscle as I gave in to the fantasy of lust.

I could feel every inch of him inside of me and I welcomed more and more. My growing climax climbed as his thrusts set to a steady rhythm, my hips matching the motions.

As I felt myself reach my climax, I screamed out his name as I came undone all over him. Only seconds later, Axel pulled out of me and sprayed his seed all over the bedspread beside me. I watched him with a wild fascination. His face was full of satisfaction and power as he pumped himself dry. He turned and noticed my stare once he was finished.

"Did you like that?" he asked, as he leaned back down and placed himself next to my now exhausted body.

"That was the hottest thing I have ever seen before," I sighed with a wide grin on my face. "I have never experienced anything that pleasurable in my life," I admitted.

It was true. While my sexual encounters were less than four, no man had ever pleasured me the way Axel had. While the sex was breathtaking and amazing, it also felt like something more. Like the start of a connection. A relationship? I wasn't sure, but I knew now that I had a taste of Axel, my hunger was only going to grow .

Turning to look at me, Axel smiled. "You know, I just realized something," he said.

"What's that?" I asked, taking his hand and lacing my fingers through his.

"I just realized that you know a lot about my family—well, my brothers. But, I don't really know anything about your family or your story."

I knew this topic would eventually come up. I guess I had just hoped I could pretend like he would never want to know about my life, but now that we were beginning to bloom into something, I guess it was only natural that the guy I was seeing and now sleeping with would want to know about my past.

Sighing, I began. "Axel, my past isn't a fairy tale. My parents split up when I was young. My dad had an affair, my mom went into a dark depression, and my brother became the king of assholes. I left my small hometown after high school and haven't looked back since. Only Lacy, and now you know this. I don't really speak to my family anymore. One day I will again, when the pain isn't so fresh, but I don't like to talk about them."

I waited for Axel to drill me with questions, but he didn't. Nodding his head, Axel seemed to understand what I was saying.

"I get it. Families can be fucked up. My parents loved one another but their lives ended too soon. I understand not wanting to relive your past. Maybe one day you can share more with me, but for now, I am more interested in the present and the future. Besides, anyone who could leave you or treat you poorly isn't anyone who I want to meet anyway," Axel finished, leaning down and kissing my knuckles .

Smiling, I looked at this beautiful man before me and knew that this was definitely the start of something amazing.

In the weeks that followed, Axel was beginning to really grow on me. Whenever Lacy and Drake were together, Axel and I would just hang out too. I enjoyed his company and knew that I was starting to develop real feelings for him. We spent every waking moment together and had a great time, but we had never had the official ‘talk' about where we truly stood in a relationship.

One afternoon, while Lacy had to work, I decided to hang out with Axel and his brothers at the bar. It was a Saturday, and I had spent all my Friday night reading and studying for an upcoming test. I was actually grateful to be out of my apartment, even if it was at a biker bar.

"Stop that," I laughed as Axel threw another peanut at me. He was sitting across from me, joking the whole time. He had been snacking on a bowl of peanuts but instead of eating them, he was playfully throwing them at my face as I tried to ignore him. "You are like a child," I joked.

Dodging the throw, the peanut hit the floor behind him and Axel jumped up, throwing his fist in the air. "Two points for me," he said. Thankfully, the other guys were ignoring us. The waitress and bartender were ignoring us, so we knew we could be rowdy.

Leaning over so no other ears could hear, Axel said, "You didn't think I was a kid when I was inside you the other night," he smirked .

I tried to hide the growing redness on my cheeks. Just thinking about Axel inside of me had me heated up again.

"You two need to get a room," Lacy remarked, as she walked into the bar with Drake.

"Whatever," I said, sticking my tongue out at Axel; he unsuccessfully threw another peanut at my head.

"Yeah. Ivy, let's go in Drake's room," he joked, strutting around the side of the table to where I was seated next to Lacy.

Suddenly, everyone grew quiet around us and I couldn't help but notice the change in the atmosphere. Drake and Axel tensed next to us and I followed their gaze to the front door.

Standing in the doorway were four guys with black leather vests but with red patches on them. Their menacing stares told me enough to know this wasn't their typical hangout spot.

"What is going on?" I whispered to Axel.

"Nothing. Just stay here," he said, as he got up and quickly ran up to the door. Drake yelled for Axel to stop and went after him.

Lacy looked worried as she watched the guys rush toward the group. Nothing about this looked good at all.

"I think you guys need to leave," Drake stated, his body tall and showing he meant business.

The larger man with a shiny bald head just glared at Drake. "Looks like you finally grew a pair of balls. Too bad your daddy isn't around anymore to see it," he remarked.

Lacy tensed next to me and I grabbed her hand .

"Who the hell are you talking to?" Axel jumped in, clearly not going to sit back and let someone talk to his brother like that.

Shoving him aside, the bald man gave a hearty laugh. "You Raven Boys always were a pain in my ass. This bar is on my side of town. I told your dad years ago to sell. Now, I am going to tell you boys, sell this bar or you will pay," he said, pointing his finger in Axel's face.

A few of the guys in the bar stood and waited for something to happen. I could tell they were ready for a fight if one were to break out.

"Get your finger out of my face, Chuck. I already told you, that war was between you and my dad. It ended when he died," Axel stated.

Drake glanced back at Lacy and that was when all hell broke loose.

"Aww, looks like you found yourselves some hot girls. Maybe I will take them as collateral," Chuck started, licking his lips as he looked between me and Lacy.

I felt my stomach churn and I thought I might vomit. How could this be real life? I felt like I was watching some horror movie.

"That's not going to happen," Axel replied, his body tense and firm. I could only see the back of his head, but I could only imagine the glare he must be giving Chuck.

"We will see about that," Chuck mocked as he tried to move around Axel and toward me and Lacy.

"Wrong move," Axel yelled, as he arched back and unleashed a devastating blow to Chuck's jaw .

Chuck staggered backward and fell hard against the front wall. He rubbed his jaw, clearly amused. Without warning, he lunged at Axel, and both men slammed together in mid-air. They landed on a table behind where we were sitting. The men went crashing to the floor as they continued throwing blows and screaming. The sound was almost like a bolt of thunder, it both frightened me and intrigued me. The rest of the men in the bar threw their beers and other drinks down and jumped into the fight.

"Stop," I screamed, as a glass went crashing to the floor.

Axel and Chuck were now rolling around, throwing punches as they maneuvered around the small space. Both men had blood dripping from their noses and various cuts on their faces, but I couldn't tell who was hurt more.

I moved in and kicked at Chuck's back as he lifted his fist and attempted to punch Axel in the jaw. Feeling my heel dig into his back, Chuck arched his body and yelled out, "You Bitch," before lunging at me.

Seeing this, Axel used the opportunity to grab Chuck around the waist and slam him back to the ground. Now, he had his legs crushing into Chuck's stomach and his hands were held down.

Watching Axel fight in my honor was arousing and sexy as hell, but it was also stupid. He could get hurt or worse, hurt someone else.

"Don't you dare call her that," Axel screamed, as his fists began to pound devastating blows into Chuck's face. I watched in horror as Chuck's body stopped moving and he lay on the ground as blood splattered everywhere from Axel's hits .

"Stop, you are going to kill him. Are you insane?" I screamed out as Lacy ran over and grabbed me.

Drake, seeing that Chuck was no longer fighting back, Grabbed Axel and with help from a few other guys, they lifted him off of Chuck. Finally, the men who came to the bar with Chuck grabbed him and they went running out of the door, dragging Chuck behind them. We heard their bikes roar to life as they drove away. Stunned, I just stood and examined the massacre that had taken place in the bar.

Axel turned to me, panting with his clothes torn and bloody. "Ivy, I was just trying to defend you. To defend my bar," he said, his voice breaking.

I was so angered by what had just taken place, I lashed out at him as tears streamed down my face. "You almost killed that guy. You acted like a monster," I cried as Lacy held me close to her.

As the words slipped past my lips, I watched as they landed their own punch to Axel. He looked beyond saddened that I had called him a monster. I was so afraid of him at that moment, I didn't know what else to say. Before I could even speak again, Axel turned and ran out the door. Leaving me alone.
