’ m enjoying. ”
Jon walked away.
Shay looked at Ava and she looked
pissed.
“ What? ” Shay asked.
“ Is
that what I am? Something you ’ re enjoying right now? ”
“ What
do you think? ” Shay asked. “ You came into my shower and
jerked me off, love. I shoved my fingers up that pretty little pussy of yours
and you enjoyed it. ” Shay
leaned close to Ava. “ And that
pussy hasn ’ t been touched
in a long time. Which means you weren ’ t
some old lady. Right or wrong? ”
Shay smirked and Ava ’ s face grew red again. “ I don ’ t like you, Shay. ”
“ You
don ’ t have to like me. You
just have to continue to earn your keep. I ’ ll
protect you, but eventually you ’ re
going to have to tell me the truth. I ’ m
not an idiot, Ava. You were never an old lady. You've probably never even been
around a club before, have you? ”
Jon brought plates of food and then
coffee and orange juice.
Ava didn ’ t speak as she ate.
Part of Shay felt bad for laying
into her like he did, but there was no time for fucking around anymore. Every
time the club got distracted lately, all hell would break loose.
After eating, Shay put a hand to
Ava ’ s barstool. “ Look at me, Ava. ”
She looked at him. “ What? ”
“ That
hand of yours … is fucking
perfect. I ’ m not done with
you. You ’ re going to be in
my bed tonight and tomorrow … and as long as I say so. I ’ ll
fight for you to stay right here. If you go back with the Lost Men, they ’ re going to fuck you and then
kill you. ”
“ I
know that, ” Ava said. She
blinked fast. “ Last night
was the first time I ’ ve
slept in … a long time …”
“ Even
before the Lost Men? ”
When Ava didn ’ t reply, he knew he was right
about her running from something.
“ You
are going to start talking soon, ” Shay said. “ You will let me
in."
“ I
already let your fingers in …”
Shay smiled. He moved close and put
his lips near Ava ’ s ear. “ Just wait until you feel my
cock. ”
Ava sat up straight. Her lips were
parted but she didn ’ t
speak.
“ It ’ s not easy living this life, ” Shay said. “ Every second is a second closer
to death. Which I guess is true for everyone. The difference is that our
countdown is much faster. ”
Miller appeared in the clubhouse
and let out a long whistle. The entire clubhouse shut up. “ I want a meeting in five
minutes. Time to get to the real business. ”
“ That ’ s my cue, ” Shay said. “ You
can go hang in my room. Lock the door and nobody will bother you. ”
“ Nile …”
“ He ’ ll be in the meeting with the
rest of us. Don ’ t think
about it. ”
“ Okay.
Thank you, Shay. ”
“ No
thanking me. Just earn your keep …”
Shay waited for Ava to stand and
walk away. His hands balled into. He didn ’ t
want, or need, to be attracted to Ava, but he couldn ’ t stop it. Maybe once he fucked her a few times,
the feelings would pass. He just needed to satisfy the urge of wanting
something he shouldn't have.
“ Hey,
you hit that last night? ” Blaine asked as he walked by Shay.
“ None
of your fucking business. ”
“ I
didn ’ t hear her screaming, ” Blaine said. “ So if you did, you didn ’ t do it right. ”
“ Fuck
you, man. ”
Blaine winked and laughed.
A few minutes later, the meeting
room was jam packed.
Back Down Devil guys sat around the
table while the walls were lined with the Lost Men.
Miller cleared his throat.
"Alright boys, the fun is over. Time to get to work."
eight.
Shay's room was obviously much
bigger than her little closet area she was used to, but this was still no way
to live. It was no way to survive either. She unlocked the door and held the
doorknob as she looked back to the bed. That was the most comfortable she had
been in such a long time. Shay had pleasured her and then held her while she
fell asleep. But it wasn't fair. She didn ’ t
deserve this. She wasn ’ t
some old lady and she never
