About Love & Chrome
At eighteen, Aubrey Watts ran from her small town of Las Verdes, Arizona, leaving the boy she loved and the wild life of the Verde Demon Motorcycle Club that consumed them both. Seven years later, she returns to say goodbye to her dying father and finds the boy she once loved now a very powerful man.
Excerpt
“After the diner, we take a slow ride out on Route 5. He gives me his helmet, the way he always used to, and we ride together as if no time was lost between us. Even though he doesn’t say anything, I know where he is heading–the quarry. I had been there with him too many times before.
As the sun rises, I can see how it looks the same: rocks, and cliffs, and the remnants of young kids with too much time and not enough to do. Tom retrieves a blanket from his saddlebag and lays it out. He sits down and offers me a hand to do the same. You can spend years trying to forget things, pretending that feelings don’t exist, but when your past rides back into your life, it’s impossible to turn away.
I settle myself next to him. He is so close that I can hear him breathe. With my heart pounding and sweat glistening my palms, I turn to face him. He is right there, leaning in for a kiss, and my body electrifies with his scent, his touch, and his hot breath scorching my mouth. We break for a moment and stare into each other’s eyes. My body screams Yes, but my mind says No. Never again.
“Don’t think about it, Aubrey,” he says as if reading my mind.
I sigh and a slick tear escapes my eye. He kisses me again, wet and hot. Arousal rips through me, bruising my over thinking brain into following along.
First my pants, then his, drop to the dry rock bed. He slides down between my legs, and with my pussy already dripping with anticipation, he laps his tongue into my folds. In that one hot decided second, I am the old Aubrey, the wild bad girl once again.
“Fuck, Tom,” I say grabbing fistfuls of his hair.
In what seems like minutes, my juices ooze, and I am coming, his mouth teasing and tasting and rolling over my clit until I can stand it no more. With my legs shaking from orgasm, he scales my body and kisses me. I can taste myself on his lips, and I feel something snap inside, twisting me into a primal version of the girl I tried so hard to run from. I reach and feel Tom’s cock, rock-hard in my hand. I put my lips to his fat head and gobble him up as if I was starving.
“God, Aubrey,” he moans.”
Love & Chrome
I haven’t stepped foot in Las Verdes, Arizona, since I was eighteen years old.
Back then I was a wild girl, having just discovered sex and cocaine in the deserts surrounding my small town, where the Verde Demons Motorcycle Club ran crystal meth and guns across the Mexican border under the vengeful eye of my father, Sheriff Buddy Watts. My father loathed the Demons, and knowing his daughter dated one of its members drove him to a life more reckless than my own. No matter how hard he tried, my father could not control me. I was crazy for my Verde Demon Tom Sully, and I was never going to let him go. But everything came crumbling down one summer evening after graduation. I had been lucky; I wasn’t in the clubhouse with Tom that night. Without warning, the Las Verdes police, led by my father, stormed in with the DEA. A dozen arrests were made, but only two did time: my Tom, and Verde Demon’s club president, Alfonzo Abato.
Alfonzo was in violation of his parole, and with the murder of the Highwaymen's Sergeant of Arms added to the drug running, he went away for life. Tom was only eighteen. Since he was the youngest member, he volunteered to take the rap for the club. It was his first conviction, and with no other priors he was sentenced to ten years at State. The club said he’d be out in five, and I promised that I’d wait for him, but things don’t always work out like you plan. In those early months that Tom was in jail, my life spun out of control. Drugs gripped me
