“Imagine what they’re thinking. How Cash’s cock is buried in Dawn’s pussy but I bet he’s thinking it’s buried in you. Train is thinking you’re the one sucking him off. “ Winter moaned as his thumb against her clit stroked even faster. Winter couldn’t prevent the knot of desire from exploding into an orgasm. She watched helplessly as both Cash and Train pounded their own release into the moaning women.
Winter tried to jerk Viper’s hand from her but he simply rose up pulling his hand away and began buttoning her skirt.
“Relax, they didn’t see anything other than that pretty face of yours.” He finished buttoning up her skirt and he snapped the front clasp of her bra before buttoning her blouse. “That and those perfect little nipples.”
Winter blushed in shame, not believing that she had allowed things to get so out of hand.
Viper stood with Winter in his arms carrying her from the room and up the steps. She refused to look around her, turning her head into his shoulder. Back in the bedroom, he carried her through to the shower and placed her inside.
“Hold onto the bar.” Winter grabbed onto the metal bar in the shower trembling in reaction to her actions downstairs. She started crying and was trying desperately not to become hysterical. Angrily, she washed, ignoring Viper as he removed his clothes throwing them into the laundry basket in the corner before stepping into the shower with her.
“I hate you.”
“I know.”
He turned the water on warm, easing her body under the warm spray. She wanted to jerk away from his touch but was afraid she would fall in the slippery shower. He put shower gel in his hands and began washing her, despite her protests.
“Get out!”
“You’re angry, you liked it whether you admit it or not, and you did like it a lot, I liked it a lot. You’re going to have to get over it.” His hands slid down her slippery belly to find her cunt with his soapy hand washing her thoroughly.
“No, I won’t,” she smacked his hands away from her.
“Yes, you will. I like to fuck and play and when I do, I don’t care if anybody is around watching. Most of us don’t. Everyone has been walking on eggshells around you. That ended tonight.” He informed her with a ruthless edge to his voice.
“I am not a recruit for your little club. I’m not like those women wanting to join The Last Riders Motorcycle Club. Unlike them, I would not fuck everyone for votes.” She screeched at a man everyone knew to be terrified of. He held complete control over a motorcycle club that was strong and brutal enough to remove any threat they faced.
Viper laughed. “Pretty girl, you got Cash’s and Train’s votes tonight and you don’t have to fuck everyone, just six out of the eight of us.” Ignoring her curses, he turned the water spray onto her rinsing her body of the soap. He stepped out of the shower, lifting her out. Taking a towel from the side, he dried her off then carried her to bed laying her down. Getting in next to her he pulled the covers over both of them.
“What are you doing? I want my gown.”
“From now on, you sleep naked next to me unless you’re on your period, then you can have a pair of panties.” He conceded the last.
“Go to hell.” She snapped.
Viper smiled at her temper, pulling her close. “I take it you don’t want to earn my vote tonight?’
She tried to hit him but he grabbed her hand carefully turning her until he was plastered against her back.
“I’ll take that as a no. Go to sleep.”
Winter wanted to yell at him but exhaustion from her long day had drained her body. The shower had relaxed her muscles so she was able to lie comfortably against him. She would deal with him in the morning, she promised herself.
Chapter 8
The morning sun woke her. Winter lay still, not wanting to wake Viper. Carefully, she edged to the side of the bed and maneuvered herself into her wheelchair. Grabbing some clothes, she went to the nightstand glancing at the bed to make sure Viper was still sleeping as she snagged his phone. Going into the bathroom, she made a quick phone call. Dressing herself and brushing her hair into a ponytail, she rolled her chair to the bathroom door, peeping out to make sure that he was still sleeping.
Going slow so no squeaking floorboards would raise an alert, she slowly moved across the bedroom until she reached the door, peering out into the hallway and seeing no one, hoping everyone was still sleeping after their late night. She rolled her chair out into the hall before shutting the door quietly behind her. Winter rolled the chair down the hallway, sure this time she would be able to make her escape. When she got to the head of the stairs, she unintentionally let a small scream of fright escape her.
Shade was leaning casually against the wall hidden from view from the hallway. He looked tired and cranky, which on him wasn’t a good look, it was a scary one.
“Going someplace?” He asked casually.
“Breakfast?” Winter tried not to appear guilty.
“No one is up yet.”
“I can make my own.”
“How were you going to get down the steps?” He said coldly.
Winter didn’t answer his question.
“What are you doing here?” Winter asked impatiently.
“Viper had a feeling you would try to make a run for it after last night.” Shade shrugged. “Seems he was right.”
“He asked you to stand here all night?” She asked in disbelief.
“Yes, need a lift downstairs or do you want to go back to bed?”
“Downstairs, please.” She needed to be downstairs for her plan to work. The doorbell rang just as he was about to lift her.
“Your accomplice?”
“Who is it?” Viper asked from behind her.
Winter stiffened, he was wearing faded jeans that hung low on his hips and no shirt. He wasn’t even wearing shoes. She almost did not answer him but knowing all he had to do was open the door to find out the answer to his question, she decided it would be stupid to argue.
“Pastor Dean.”
Viper grinned. “Could be worse, Shade answer the door while I get Houdini.”
Expecting Viper to pack her back into their room, she was surprised when he lifted her into his arms and carried her downstairs.
Pastor Dean was walking in the door as Viper reached the bottom of the steps.
“Viper, Shade, Winter it’s good to see you all again.” Pastor Dean smiled at each of them. Winter was embarrassed that the handsome minister saw her in Viper’s arms.
“Want some coffee?” Viper asked, not waiting for a reply while he carried Winter to the kitchen and sat her at the table, leaving to start a pot of coffee.
“Sounds good to me,” Pastor Dean sat down at the table next to Winter, giving her a reassuring smile.
“Going to bed, Viper.”
“Thanks, Shade.” He left without a word to her or Pastor Dean. Winter’s angry glare followed him out the door.
“So what brought you out so early in the morning Dean?”
“I called him.”
Viper leaned against the counter with his arms folded against his chest. His eyes pinned her to the chair before he moved to get cups and filled each with coffee. Setting them down on the table, he took a seat.
“Why?”
“I asked him to take me home.”
“In that case, he has wasted a trip. You’re not ready to be on your own yet. Give it a couple more weeks, if you still want to go home then I will take you myself.” He said lifting his cup to his lips.
“I want to go now.”
“That’s not possible.”
“Why?”
“I think that is self-evident.” He replied.
“No, it’s not. I can get myself in and out of the wheelchair. I can get dressed and cook. There are people in worse shape than I am who stay by themselves.”
“That’s true. But do you have a gym, with all the equipment you need? Do you have a hot tub to relax your muscles, someone to massage those cramps out of you
r legs that you still have to take medication for? I actually think you could be on your own, but it would drastically slow your recovery.” Viper’s hard reminder of the club’s resources that had benefited her recuperation began to make Winter feel ungrateful.
Winter hated to admit it but he was right. He had not even mentioned that Evie worked with her in the mornings and evenings.
“I still want to go home.” Winter said still not wanting to give up.
“What you want to do is escape because of last night.”
“What happened last night?” Pastor Dean asked when Winter remained silent.
“It’s all right Winter, I can guess. The first time Beth went to one of their Friday nights, she stopped seeing Razer and started dating me. Let me ask you a question and I want you to be truthful. Did they force you to do anything you did not want to do?” His serious expression left no doubt of his concern for her.
“No.”
“She let me finger fuck her in front of Train and Cash.” Viper informed her Pastor without remorse.
“Viper….”
He shrugged and looked at Winter. “You’re the one that dragged him into this. I’m not embarrassed.” Winter was mortified.
“You wouldn’t be. You probably do it every Friday night.” Winter said hating him.
“Pretty girl, I usually do more than that on Fridays. I restrained myself for you.” Winter stared at him in stunned surprise. The asshole thought he had actually done her a favor.
“Don’t do me any favors, you jerk!” She yelled at him.
“Be careful how you talk to me or next time, I won’t. I am not bashful. I don’t care who sees me fucking you.” He warned.
Winter wanted to melt into the floor. She could not believe he was talking this way in front of a pastor.
“I am sure you are feeling embarrassed but I have to agree with Viper. I hate for you to delay your recovery because you’re regretting your actions of last night. If you don’t want to attend the parties I am sure Viper has no intention of forcing you to do so, nor into doing anything else that you’re uncomfortable with.”
“Of course not, she can stay in the bedroom. I will even keep her company.” Viper agreed with a smile of intent.
“Good, then it’s settled.” Pastor Dean stood up preparing to leave. “Winter, I hope to see you back in church soon.”
“Wait,” both men ignored her. What was happening here? A man of the cloth should have been shocked at what he had heard, instead, he was shaking Viper’s hand and walking out the door. Viper walked back into the kitchen after seeing the Pastor out and all Winter could do was stare in bewilderment at losing the opportunity to escape from his grasp.
“If you want to exercise while I make breakfast for us, I can carry you downstairs.” Winter was smart enough to know when she had lost the battle.
“Thank you, I have some venting I need to do, so I think a few minutes with the punching bag is just what I need.”
Viper lifted her easily into his arms, carrying her down to the gym. Winter changed into her workout clothes and did exactly what she had told Viper she would do; worked all the aggravation he was putting her through out of her system.
Viper came and took her back upstairs when the food was ready. Everyone slowly began coming in as they ate their breakfast. Viper had made a lot of food. A few ate what he had prepared but many stuck with toast and coffee. At first she felt self-conscious around them, especially when Cash and Train entered and found a place at the table to drink their coffee. Gradually she relaxed when neither man paid any attention to her. Viper, who was sitting next to her, placed his hand on her thigh giving it a squeeze. Winter stiffened but when he didn’t move it she reached down intending to do so herself. He took it in his hand and linked his fingers through hers. Winter gave up trying to get her hand back and simply let it lie within his grasp.
“What’s everybody doing today?” Beth asked after her and Razer finished eating. Winter wasn’t surprised when the general consensus was sleep.
“Winter, Lily and I are going into town to get an early start on our Christmas shopping. Anyone else want to go?”
Winter really wanted to go but didn’t know if she wanted to be seen around town in her chair.
“I’ve been looking forward to shopping but are you sure I won’t be intruding?” Winter asked, eager to get out and go shopping. She hadn’t been out since before her accident.
“Not at all. Lily is dying to see you. Her friend is dropping her off at noon. We can be here to pick you up at one.”
“Thanks Beth, I can hardly wait.”
“Don’t worry about picking her up. We can meet you in town. I promised Ton that I would take him to the grocery store. We can all meet up at the Buy/Low market.” Viper said, finishing his breakfast.
Viper packed Winter upstairs to get showered and changed. He went to his desk, sorting through scattered paperwork as he waited for her to get dressed. She was going into the bathroom when she stopped.
“Viper, thank you for helping me recover. I also appreciate you hauling my ass up and down the steps.”
Viper gave her a sexy grin. “It is a very sexy ass, I don’t mind at all, now go get changed.”
Beth and Lily met them in the parking lot of the Buy/Low Market. Viper and Winter had stopped on the way to pick up his father, Ton, at his home. When Viper and Winter had been dating, she hadn’t really gotten to know Ton well. Viper had never encouraged any invitations she had wanted to extend. Looking back now, that should have been a big warning for her. She had obviously missed a lot of those signs.
“Ready?” Both sisters were patiently waiting.
“Yes.” Winter answered Beth after Viper had helped her into the wheelchair.
“Let’s roll.” Lily joked taking the wheelchair handle.
“Let’s meet up at the diner in two hours.” Viper suggested.
They all agreed, going their separate ways. The girls hit all the stores, laughing and giggling at some of their choices of gifts for the members of the Last Riders. Beth commissioned a hand crafted long handed razor knife for Razer, boots for Evie, and took the time to get each member a gift. Winter didn’t know the women as well so she picked up several gift cards when Beth assured her the women loved to shop. Winter drew a blank as to what to buy for Viper. Beth fell in love with a hot red leather jacket so Winter purchased it as an early Christmas present despite her protests.
Winter was looking through a tray of bracelets, sliding different ones on and off her wrist; Lily and Beth strolled over to watch. They were so pretty Beth even started trying them on, admiring how they looked on her own wrist. One in particular caught Winter’s eye. It was a beautiful hand crafted, wide bangle bracelet with little dangling charms that had designs engraved into the purplish silver. It was truly a piece of art.
“Lily, this would look fantastic on you with your coloring.” She held it out to the women, unsnapping it so Lily could slide her wrist inside. When she didn’t move, Winter raised her eyes to Lily’s face. A look of pure terror was frozen on her ashen face.
“Are you all right? What’s wrong, Lily?’ Winter didn’t know what to do, looking towards Beth.
Beth looked up at her words, seeing what was in Winter’s hand and quickly took it away.
“She is allergic to silver.”
“I am sorry. I did not realize or I wouldn’t have shown it to her.”
“That is alright. I shouldn’t have been a baby about it.” Lily smiled at her, but the look of terror still lingered in her beautiful eyes.
“It’s time we met Viper and Ton at the diner.” Beth said, changing the subject. The women paid for their purchases before walking down the street to the diner. Ton was walking across the parking lot when several motorbikes came roaring down the street. The women turned thinking it was The Last Riders, only to stare in amazement at another group of five bikers with a lone woman on the back of one. Easily recognizing Sam, Winter was amazed at the woman’s bol
dness at taking up with another group of bikers.
They parked in the diner’s parking lot with Ton staring them down.
“This is going to be bad.” Beth predicted, hurrying off to reach Ton before the crazy man picked a fight. Winter and Lily took off after her, with Lily pushing the chair as fast as she could. Winter was sure they appeared ridiculous barging towards the group of bikers.
“Move out of my way, old man.” Samantha ordered.
“I want to talk to you and you’re not going to be able to ignore me this time.” Winter saw Beth try to tug Ton away from the group of bikers but he was not budging. Giving up, Beth took a step back while searching in her large purse for a phone. Winter heard her calling someone when the argument between Ton and Sam got even more heated.
“I have nothing to say to you because you don’t want to hear the truth. Whether you want to believe it or not, Gavin is the father of my baby.”
“Gavin wouldn’t have touched an underage girl.”
“Oh he did all right, several times as a matter of fact.” Sam taunted.
Winter could only sit in her chair and watch, powerless as the two argued, slowly coming to the realization of some dangerous undercurrents coming from the bikers. The Last Riders were often scruffy and wore faded clothes but they never had the appearance of these scumbags that Sam had attached herself to.
These bikers were dirty and she could smell the alcohol and weed on them from where she was sitting. Their eyes were on Lily and Beth as they spread out around them. Winter was about to warn them when one slid his arm around Lily jerking her to his chest. Two others were maneuvering Beth towards the back of the diner’s parking lot. Lily’s scream was cut off as the biker put his hand in her hair, jerking her neck back at an awkward angle, his head was lowering to hers. Winter tried to ram him with her wheelchair but he struck the wheel violently with his heel, sending it careening in circles before she could manage to stop spinning.
“Ton.” Winter screamed, watching in horror as Lily fought frantically to get away from the biker determined to thrust his tongue down her throat. Beth started screaming and so did Winter, trying to find help. Ton, realizing what was happening, hurried to Beth, trying to get her away from the men but another that had been standing behind Sam blocked his path. Ton tried to hit him but the biker punched him hard in the stomach. Ton dropped to his knees. The biker that had Lily, grabbed her ass, lifting her against him until her feet were off the ground, carrying her in the same direction as the two men were taking Beth.
