Chapter Ten

Falcon

The second my gaze landed on Gina’s sweet face, I thought maybe I’d finally done something right. The second I wrapped my arms around her, I knew with absolute certainty I’d come home.

I held her tightly, burying my face in her hair. It probably made me look weak to clutch her so tightly, but I didn’t care. It wasn’t like I was ever going to be an officer in Grim Road. They were my brothers and knew I’d defend them to the death. Who gave a fuck what another club thought?

“Thank you for coming, baby. I know it was hard for you. I just wasn’t sure how long we were going to have to stay here before going back to Grim Road and I didn’t think I could wait even a couple of hours to see you.” It was the fucking truth.

“I was afraid. But I couldn’t not come.”

“Afraid for your safety?” I could understand her fear, though I’d hoped she’d realized we would protect her as our own. She was one of us and we were learning to support each other. In fact, once Lemon had gotten started on us, we’d all taken to it like we would have if we’d had our own families in a normal world. Seemed we all wanted the same thing and just hadn’t wanted to admit it to anyone.

“Oh, no! Not at all. I trust Lemon and Rocket. They wouldn’t let me come if they thought there was danger.”

“Then what, baby? What were you scared of?” I kissed her head, loving that she clung to me just as hard as I did her.

“Of losing you. I don’t know what happened to her but I’m sure you still love her.”

I thought about that. “I suppose I do, in a way. I knew her a long time before we ever got together.” I sighed. “I haven’t really had time to examine my feelings, but the one thing I’m absolutely certain of is, I want you, Gina.”

She didn’t say anything else, but I could feel her body shaking as she cried. I glanced over at Rattler. He and Scout hadn’t come to blows yet, but judging by Rattler’s expression, the jury was still out on how long a reprieve Scout got. But for now, it seemed they were going to be civil.

Gina stiffened in my arms and I turned my head. Joilyn was staring at us with hot anger. She looked from Gina back to me before giving me a disgusted look and leaving the garage. I didn’t loosen my hold on Gina, even when she tried to push away.

“Stop. Don’t fight me, Gina. Not now.”

“Are you sure this is what you want? I get it if it’s not. You were going to marry her. It’s going to hurt if you leave no matter what, but if you’re going to her, do it now. While I have people still willing to help me get through it.”

“This isn’t the right place for this conversation, but you need to know it’s you for me. No one else. I will never willingly leave you, Gina. Not for Joilyn. Not for anyone for any reason.”

“You’ve never lied to me.”

I was finally able to let her go, but only to frame her face in my hands so I could make this as clear to her as I could. “And I’m not gonna start now, baby. I’m sure not startin’ now.”

Gina nodded, her eyes glistening with tears. A fragile smile began to curve her lips. “I know.”

“Come on, Falcon.” Piston gripped my shoulder. “Let’s get the ladies home. You guys all need the rest. I know Gina will rest easier back home.”

“Yeah. I shouldn’t have insisted she come. It was stupid.”

“Never stupid to want your girl, Falcon. I’m glad we were able to give you both a swift reunion.”

I hated to let Joilyn down, but this woman was where I belonged. Wherever she went, so did I.

The ride back to the Grim Road compound took thirty minutes instead of the twenty it had taken Rocket before. Yeah. There was a reason they called him Rocket. And it was thirty minutes confined in a cage. The big Ford was spacious and nice, but I needed my bike.

I leaned over to whisper in Gina’s ear. “After I make love to you for a couple days, I’m takin’ you on a ride. A long one. Just you and me.”

She smiled up at me. “I’d like that.” Then she blushed. “Kinda looking more forward to the first part, though.” Then she turned and buried her face against my arm in embarrassment.

I chuckled and kissed the top of her head. “Me too, baby. Me too.”

Knox took me and Gina to her house instead of stopping at the clubhouse. I gave him a nod of thanks before helping Gina out and into the house.

I wasn’t sure what I expected to happen when I got her home, but having the woman throw herself at me the second the door was shut wasn’t it. And, sweet Jesus, I was grateful! She wrapped her arms and legs around me in a tight embrace and fused her mouth to mine. The second she did, it was fucking over.

As Gina’s lips eagerly met mine, I returned her passion with equal fervor. It was as if we both had been starving for this connection and couldn’t get enough of each other’s taste or touch. Our mouths moved in perfect sync, exploring and claiming. She was every bit as aggressive as I needed her to be. It was a side of her I hadn’t seen before. It made my need for her all the worse, knowing how much she must want this.

My hands slid down her back to cup her ass, squeezing and kneading. She moaned into the kiss, pushing herself even tighter against me.

My tongue danced playfully with hers before delving deeper, exploring her mouth as my free hand tangled in her hair. The soft strands felt like silk between my fingers as I crushed them in my fist, holding on tightly, afraid she might slip away. I could feel the heat of her pussy through both our jeans as she moved herself up and down the rigid length of my cock.

Breaking the kiss reluctantly, I stared at Gina with what I knew had to be a ravenous, fevered gleam in my eyes. “God damn it,” I whispered hoarsely, “I want you so fucking bad.” She nodded and I was surprised to find that same feral desire reflected back in her eyes as she looked into mine.

“Yes. Please.”

“You’ll tell me if I hurt or scare you?” I have no idea where I found the presence of mind to say the words, let alone how I’d act if she needed to pull back. The lust that’d hit me the second she’d jumped into my arms wasn’t altogether unexpected, but it was fucking strong! Primal. This was me and Gina. Claiming each other.

I trailed kisses down her supple neck to her collarbone before moving lower still. Nipping at her soft skin lightly, I continuing to explore what I could reach with my lips and tongue while I let my hands roam underneath her shirt to stroke and squeeze one perfect tit.

Gina arched her neck, giving me all the access I wanted to her creamy skin. Until it simply wasn’t enough.

“Need you naked,” I bit out in a hoarse demand. “Fuck!”

Immediately, she wiggled until she peeled her shirt off and whipped it over her head. My fingers found the back clasp to her bra and unfastened it with a flick so she could pull the offending material away from her chest and let it flutter to the floor.

I set her back on her feet so I could take off my own shirt. She stood there, bare-breasted with hints of moonlight filtering over her body. She was small but curvy in all the right places. Just like I remembered. Only this time, she was all mine. Forever. No one was ever taking her away from me again. Not another brother. Not fucking Hammer. Not Joilyn. No one. Gina was mine and I would protect her with my life.

I had to stop myself from taking her to the floor and covering her body with my own. She deserved better than that. She deserved to be worshipped and loved until she couldn’t remember her own name. And then, I’d do it all over again.

“Turn around,” I commanded. She complied, turning her back to me and her hands against the wall so that my hot gaze could trace every ridge of her spine as she presented herself to me like the offering she truly was. God, she was fucking perfect! Every curve, every dip and swell just screamed mine ! Mine alone.

I kissed and sucked on the soft skin of her neck and back, kissing and nipping down her spine. I slipped my hands underneath the waistband of her panties, sliding them down her thighs until they pooled on the floor at her feet.

I slid a finger to the inside of her thigh, moving my hand upward to her pussy and brushing against her slick folds. She gasped, arching into my touch with a needy moan. Fuck! She was already wet for me. My girl was so turned on, it nearly shattered me.

As I explored her folds further I pushed my fingers inside to feel how wet and ready she was for me. She clenched her pussy around each digit as if greedy for more. As if wanting my cock to fill her. Gina moaned loudly when I found her clit and began circling it gently with my thumb while continuing to stretch her pussy with my fingers, searching for that hidden spot inside her to send her soaring.

The second I found it, she screamed, her pussy clamping down on my fingers. Sweat erupted over her skin and her knees gave out. I caught her, wrapping an arm around her waist to hold her steady while she rode out the orgasmic wave to its conclusion.

The second her body relaxed, I stood turning her in my arms and picking her up so that she wrapped her legs around my waist and clung. I carried her to the bedroom and kicked the door shut on my way inside.

“Fuck,” I growled against her neck as she wrapped her arms around me as tightly as her legs were. She latched on to my ear and little whimpers escaped as she licked and nuzzled me. “So fuckin’ hot. So fuckin’ sweet.”

“Please, Falcon,” she whimpered. “Oh, God, please!”

“You need me, baby?”

“I do.” She clung to me, even when I laid her down. Her arms tightened around my neck and she found my lips with hers again.

“I gotta get my fuckin’ pants off.” I reached between us to unfasten my fly and free my cock.

Gina let go of my neck to shove her hands between us, knocking into mine in her haste. She finally settled on shoving my jeans and briefs over my hips under my ass. She’d spread her legs wide, welcoming me when the head of my dick kissed her entrance.

Gina gasped and shuddered as my cock finally penetrated her tight, wet folds. She cried out, wincing as if in pain, but her nails dug into my ass and pulled me forward, welcoming me inside her body.

“Tell me you want to be mine,” I whispered harshly as I fisted my hand in her hair, forcing her gaze up to mine. “Tell me you want this.”

“I do! I need it so bad!”

“My cock? Or my ownership?”

Bless her, she didn’t hesitate. “Both! I need both, Falcon!”

Nothing could compete with the primal need that pulsed through my body. I let out a low groan as I slowly filled her up, making sure to go slow despite the burning desire to take her right now. I kissed her deeply, savoring the reunion and our first time together since her dark days.

“Falcon,” she gasped, looking up at me in wonder. “It’s you.” She cupped my face in her hands. There was a feverish gleam in her eyes as if she were riding a high. “It’s always been… you.” Her body relaxed and a dreamy smile spread her lips. “From the very first time we made love… It’s always been you.”

Her stark revelation filled me with something I had no hope of reining in. Pride? Possession? Protectiveness? All of it maybe. It also brought back the first time I ever saw her. I’d taken Hammer up on his offer to fuck his woman, not because I was into that kind of kinky shit, but because I wanted Gina like I’d never wanted another woman. I’d spent the entire night, not fucking her, but making love to her. I’d brought her as much pleasure as I could as often as I could. Leaving her that morning had hurt me worse than anything ever had. It had also brought back memories of leaving Joilyn. I hadn’t acknowledged it then, but now I could admit I hadn’t felt near the sense of loss when I’d left Joilyn as I did leaving Gina. Not that I didn’t love Joilyn, I did. Just not to this degree. And if there had been any doubt up to this point if I made the right decision to stay with Gina or honor a promise I made to Joilyn before she let me think she’d died, it was erased the second I was seated fully inside her, looking down into those glittering copper-colored eyes of hers. Gina was my one. My only.

Her walls clenched around me, trying to keep me inside her as I began to move. Her hips rocked against me, meeting each thrust with one of her own. It felt so right, so natural. She wrapped her legs around me tighter, pulling me closer, deeper inside her, as she arched into every stroke. I roamed my hands over her body, tracing every inch of skin I could reach as I pumped into her. Her own fingers tangled in my hair and held on tightly as I kissed her, licking inside her mouth, eager for more of her delicious taste.

“I love you,” she whimpered between kisses and cries. “I need you to know how much I love you. How m-much you m-mean to me.” Her voice caught on her words as I continued to ride her tender body, needing to brand her with my seed like I needed to breathe.

As we moved together, the sweat dripped from my face and landed in the hollow of her throat. I watched in fascination as her eyes were closed as she cried out in bliss.

The smell of sex and desire filled the small room as we climaxed together. Gina jerked in my arms and my hips snapped against hers as I fucked her through our orgasms. Then I collapsed on top of her, my cock still embedded deeply inside her.
