Viper's Run

  “Ms. Simmons, your job has already been filled by your vice-principal, Jeff Morgan.” Ben Stiles informed her with a frown. If the townspeople found out they didn’t get high paying jobs because of the school board, firing Winter could backfire on them. There wasn’t a person in the meeting room who didn’t know that, in their economically depressed area, money came before morality.

  “I don’t want my job back at the high school. I want to be the principal at Riverview since Mr. Woods has long been overdue for retirement. The extremely high rate of drop outs exhibits that he is unable to understand his student’s needs. I feel, in all truthfulness, that I can make a change for the better at the alternative school. My records will show that Treepoint High School had the lowest drop out rates in twenty years during my years as a principal.”

  The school board members stared back and forth among each other. Winter knew that Mr. Woods was heartily disliked. The only reason that he was still employed was because no one wanted the job. It was a punishment to be sent there. Mr. Woods also had an affair with the gym teacher and had been caught in the equipment room.

  “The School Board will return to a closed session and take a vote. We will notify Ms. Richards within the next forty-eight hours of our decision.”

  Winter sat back down in her chair.

  “Is that three days?” Crazy Bitch asked.

  “Yes,” answered T.A.

  “Which one do you think Bliss is?” Sex Piston asked, getting to her feet.

  “I bet it’s the sweet thing at the end of the row,” Killyama’s threatening voice lowered as they moved away.

  Winter turned, glancing sideways. Bliss was sitting next to Beth. Winter had a feeling their appearance at today’s meeting wasn’t as altruistic as they had pretended.

  The meeting closed, everyone filed into the hallway.

  “Thank you Ms. Richards for your help.” Winter and Viper came to stand next to her lawyer.

  “I will let you know as soon as they notify me,” Ms. Richards said.

  Evie, Bliss, and Natasha interrupted.

  “Winter, we’ll meet you at the diner. Bliss and Natasha want to get something to eat before we go to the tattoo shop.”

  Ms. Richards paused before leaving, reaching into her purse, pulling out a card. “Which one is Bliss?”

  “I am,” Bliss said, stepping forward.

  Ms. Richards handed her a card. “Call me if you ever need legal representation, I handle personal injury cases also.”

  “What was that about?” Viper questioned after the woman left.

  “I have no idea,” Winter lied, winding her arm through Bliss’ as they walked toward the exit.

  Chapter 19

  Winter lay on the bed, pretending to read a book as Viper zipped his black jeans on before sitting down on the chair to put on his boots. His hair was still damp from the shower they had taken together. She had tried to lure him in to having sex before he began to get dressed, but he had subtly thwarted her attempts.

  She had wanted to make sure he wasn’t horny before he went to Razer’s bachelor party. Evie had let it drop that Knox had hired a stripper. Her fingers tightened on the book as Viper put on a leather vest with no shirt, showing his tats. Winter swallowed hard, his sleeve never failing to draw a response from her body.

  “When are you going to start getting ready?” Viper asked, sliding his keys into his pocket.

  “Why should I get dressed to watch television alone?”

  “Why would you be alone?”

  “Because Beth is with Lily at her house and the rest of the women are going to Rosie’s with the men.”

  “You don’t want to go?” Viper asked, trying to keep his lips straight.

  Winter looked at him in surprise. “You never said anything, I assumed I wasn’t going.”

  “You got our tat on you?”

  “Yes.” Her first and last tat she was determined, but she hadn’t liked the look on Viper’s face when she had informed him of that decision.

  Winter jumped off the bed, going through her clothes to find something to wear. “Jerk, you could have told me and I would have bought a new outfit,” she said, unhappily staring her choices available.

  “There’s an outfit for you in the closest in the brown dress bag.”

  Winter opened the closet door searching until she located the bag at the back of the closet. Pulling the bag out of the closet, she unzipped the garment bag. She pulled out a black leather skirt that she was sure would cover her without being too short. The top was black lace across the top, with no straps, with leather fringes that would both conceal and hint at her waist and abdomen. Winter loved it, they were perfect. There was even thigh high boots that were flat on the bottom. It was her first biker bitch outfit.

  “Thank you Viper, I love it,” she said jumping into his arms and kissing him in thanks. He deepened the kiss until Winter thought he might change his mind about having sex before the party, but he released her.

  “Thank Beth, she’s the one who bought it for your first party,” Viper told her with a smile.

  “Where did the ugly outfit come from that I wore?” Winter asked with a suspicious glare.

  Viper went through the door. “I bought it. Conner would never have chosen the other women if he had seen you in that getup.” He barely managed to shut the door before she threw one of her boots.

  Razer pulled out a chair in front of Winter, with his back to the stripper swinging her body against the pole. He hadn’t let his eyes stray to the dance floor once. Winter herself wouldn’t have believed it if she hadn’t witnessed it herself, which Winter had finally deduced was why she was there. Razer had every intention of covering his ass. If Beth asked her, Winter would be able to tell her, in all honesty, that Razer hadn’t strayed.

  Lifting her beer, she looked at Viper. Of course she couldn’t say the same, he was obviously enjoying the show.

  “I’m getting ready to smash my beer bottle into that hard on your getting,” Winter threatened. Viper laughed, turning his chair to face her. Mollified, Winter put her beer back on the table. Viper and Razer began talking about a new method of growing plants. Winter zoned out, not in the least interested. The stripper finished with a flourish, putting on a silky pink rope that she didn’t bother tying. Several of the members followed her to the back of the bar.

  Winter finished her beer, feeling the urgent need to use the bathroom and excusing herself to go to the restroom at the back of the bar. The restroom was empty. After using the toilet, Winter washed her hands, throwing away the towel as she left the restroom. She tried to keep her eyes forward, but her curiosity got the better of her and she looked over towards where she had seen the stripper go. She slowly came to a stop in the shadows of the long hallway.

  The stripper was giving a lap dance to Shade who was sprawled on one of the chairs. He was wearing blue jeans and had pulled off his t-shirt. He was leaner than Viper and the rest of the members with perfectly cut abs. Both arms, neck, and chest were covered in a myriad of tattoos. His facial expression was fierce as he watched the woman shake her breasts an inch from his face. As she straddled his lap, she ground her pussy down onto a cock that Winter could see was huge even covered in his jeans. The woman obviously knew him. As she was grinding down on him, she was pleading.”

  “God, please Shade, please.”

  The woman’s face was a tortured mask.

  “What you want bitch?”

  “Your cock. Please Shade,” she whimpered.

  “Where you want it?”

  “My pussy.”

  “Can’t give it to you now, you come back to the clubhouse, I’ll give it to you all night.” The woman nodded frantically.

  “Go give my brothers their dances, if you want to give them anything else you can give them your mouth. Save your pussy for me.” The woman shakily moved off Shade, moving towards Knox who was eagerly waiting his turn.

  Winter stayed to the shadows until she was able to get to her
table.

  “Where the fuck have you been, I was going to come looking for you?” Viper questioned her as soon as she sat back down.

  “I had to use the restroom, the beer was making me sick. I stayed until I was sure I wasn’t going to vomit.”

  “Eat some pretzels,” Viper said, noticing her flushed cheeks.

  Razer’s speculative gaze wasn’t making her feel any calmer. Winter was having second thoughts about talking to Beth. Perhaps a slight warning wouldn’t hurt anyone and Lily would stand a fighting chance to….

  “No, Winter. Leave it alone. You don’t want a mad Shade to deal with. I certainly don’t want to deal with him,” Razer warned her, reading her thoughts.

  “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Winter replied using her fingernail to tear at the beer label.

  “Leave it alone,” he said with finality.

  Winter finally nodded her assent.

  Winter almost spit out her beer when the bar door opened and Lily walked inside wearing jeans and a loose pale blue top that highlighted the darkness of her hair. Lily’s eyes searched the bar before finding Razer at the table. Her face was full of tension and you could see fear in the back of her eyes as she approached their table.

  “Fuck, what’s she doing here?” Viper muttered under his breath.

  “I don’t know,” Winter was also at a loss.

  “May I join you?” Lily asked, trying to appear casual.

  “Yes,” Razer spoke for the table.

  Lily greeted them, deliberately keeping her eyes on their faces.

  “Razer, could I talk with you privately? I‘ve tried to find several opportunities, but with Beth and you constantly together, it’s been hard to find a moment.”

  “Go ahead and talk, Beth and I have no secrets from the club,” Razer told her.

  “Perhaps I could find another time,” she said, beginning to rise from the table.

  “Lily, sit your ass down and tell me what’s on your mind,” Razer said softly.

  A soft scream of frustration could be heard from the back of the bar. Lily turned instinctively to see what was happening and faced a wall of biker’s staring back.

  “What happened?” Lily asked.

  “One of the girls probably saw a rat,” Winter said, glaring at the brothers.

  “Oh,” Lily said. Taking a deep breath, Lily spoke her mind. “Razer, you know I love my sister.”

  “I know that you two are very close.” Razer’s eyes were watching Lily hands.

  “We are, our parents adopted me, but Beth and I are as close as if we shared the same parents. We tell each other everything,” Lily confessed, not noticing that now Razer was becoming tenser. “When you and Beth broke up, she came to my dorm and shared with me how badly she was hurt.”

  Razer listened attentively, still watching Lilly’s hands. His jaw grew tighter and tighter.

  “I am aware bachelor parties are meant to be fun, the man’s last night of freedom, and I wouldn’t want to take that fun away it’s just that…” Lily paused, her eyes going to Bliss dancing with Rider. They had toned down their erotic dancing when they had seen her enter the bar, but Bliss couldn’t hide the sexy outfit she was wearing.

  “I don’t want to see her hurt that way again,” Lily said miserably.

  Razer suddenly leaned across the table, his hand covering the one flicking the rubber band repeatedly against the bright red flesh of her skin.

  Winter swallowed hard.

  “Lil sis, you’re breaking my heart, please stop.” Lily’s hand became still under his, he nodded toward Winter.

  “You trust her?” Lily turned her head to observe Winter before turning back to Razer.

  “Yes,” answered Lily.

  “Do you trust her enough that she would tell Beth if I’m stepping out on her?”

  This time Lily didn’t look at Winter, but her answer was the same.

  “Yes.”

  “She’s attached to my hip the rest of the night, when she leaves I leave.”

  “Okay,” Lily smiled at Razer in relief. Geez, the girl was too beautiful Winter thought in worry.

  “I am marrying Beth because I love her, which means I’m not going to do stupid shit to hurt her again. Beth has learned to trust me and I want you to also.” He moved his hand touching the rubber band, “You don’t need this anymore to keep from being afraid, lil sis.” Razer leaned further across the table. “I swear on my life, I’ll never let anyone hurt you again.”

  Lily gave him a heartwarming smile before getting up from the table and hugging Razer, who hugged her back before sitting her away from him several inches.

  “Now, let’s get you out of here, you have another year before you can legally be in a bar,” Razer joked. “Mick made an exception for Beth’s bridal shower, but he might get pissed off we start making a habit of it.”

  Lily laughed. “He can’t get in trouble. I turned twenty-one my last birthday. I thought Beth told you, everyone just thinks I’m a year younger because mom and dad were so concerned I was behind in school when they adopted me.”

  “Is that so?” Razer said.

  “I would have thought she would have told you. I guess she was waiting for me to tell you, now I have. Now Beth has no more secrets from you, does she?” Lily teased as Razer ushered her quickly out of the bar.

  “I think she might have one or two,” Razer replied grimly, already hearing the commotion from the back. Startled screams of the women were heard as they tried to get out of the way.

  “Are you sure everything’s all right? Mick should really take care of that problem.”

  “I imagine that’s what he’s doing right now,” Razer said walking faster, looking back over his shoulder.

  Razer escorted Lily to her car, watching until he no longer saw the tail lights before going back toward the bar. The women had all escaped outside, staring back inside as the bar became engulfed in fighting.

  “Fuck.” Razer was sure he didn’t want to go back inside.

  “Looks like Beth isn’t as unaware of what was going on as you thought she was?” Winter mocked Razer’s reluctance to reenter the bar.

  “You told Lily you would protect her, you swore,” she reminded him, amused at his predicament.

  “He’s going to fuck me up for my wedding night, Beth hasn’t let me touch her the last month to build the suspense. When he gets done with me, I won’t be able to do shit.” Razer winced as a loud crash resounded from within.

  “I’m sure Beth will show her appreciation,” Winter consoled.

  “She fucking better,” he said before striding into the bar.

  Chapter 20

  Winter came out of the bathroom wearing a towel crossed at her breasts. Viper was sitting at his desk with his hand in a bowl of ice. Luckily for him, he kept extra ice trays in his mini fridge. What ice was in the freezer downstairs was quickly used for the other brothers’ injuries.

  “Feel any better?” Winter tried not to smile.

  “No, my hand is stinging like hell. I don’t know what you think is so fucking funny.”

  “I don’t know, maybe because you let one man beat the crap out of the whole group of you.”

  “He’s a mean mother fucker and he knows we don’t want to hurt him, he unfortunately doesn’t give a fuck.”

  Winter crawled across the bed on her hands and knees. “That adrenaline you were telling me about kick in yet?”

  Viper watched intently as she unknotted her towel baring her body. “Of course if you’re too sore, I can understand. Want me to see if I have a pain pill left?”

  “No I took some Ibuprofen, how many beers did you drink?” Viper questioned her.

  “A couple, why? You think I’m drunk?”

  “No, I think you’re horny. I’ve noticed beer does that for you.” He watched as her finger traced her nipple, her fingernail leaving a faint white line.

  “It’s not the beer, it’s your cock,” Winter smiled in the mood to be naughty, l
oving the reaction it was bringing out in Viper.

  “I can solve that problem, real quick,” he said getting to his feet. Pulling off his vest, pants, and boots, he stood naked in front of her. He turned off the lights by the door, leaving on only the small lamp by the desk.

  “Shade told me I must not be doing something right if you thought sex lasted only ten minutes.”

  Winter tensed on the bed. Damn Shade, she had known that he had accepted giving her his vote too easily. The big tattle tale must have figured out she had set him up.

  Viper opened the bedroom door before joining Winter on the bed.

  Thinking at first that he was joking, Winter didn’t realize that he was serious. Hastily crawling toward the end of the bed to run and close the door, Viper leaned down, grabbing an ankle and pulling her down the length on the bed until she lay by his side. Before she could protest, his mouth covered hers in a deep kiss that sent passion racing through her bloodstream. Taking his mouth away, he went to his knees spreading her thighs going down on her.

  Winter tried to jerk her pussy away from him, but he latched on to her clit with his teeth. Winter went still immediately. Viper scooted her hips closer to him as he gently sucked on her sensitive bud while his tongue slid inside her slick sheathe. Winter couldn’t help the moan slipping from her throat. His hands moved placing a leg over each shoulder.

  “Pretty girl, you’re going to come in my mouth.” Winter’s head shook back and forth across the blanket, she looked down to see him between her spread thighs. The erotic picture almost drove her into an organism, but seeing Knox and Jewell entering the bedroom door had her lying still as Viper worked her clitoris into a frenzy of need.

  “Bed or couch Viper?” Knox asked.

  “Couch,” Viper muttered, taking his mouth away from her damp flesh.

  “Viper...” Winter started to protest, watching Knox pulling Jewell down on his lap. Taking her top off, Knox stared at Viper between Winter’s thighs as Jewell rubbed her pussy against the thigh she was sitting on. Viper’s mouth returned to play with her clitoris as one of his hands pulled the flesh back exposing it to his torture. When his teeth grazed the sensitive bundle, Winter screamed her release into his mouth.
