Frank shrugged as Milo pointed toward the living room. "We'll do it in there. That's where she likes it." He grinned at me as I swallowed back the bile rising in my throat.Walking into the living room, Milo gripped my arm tightly and pulled me along before he shoved me further in. "I have something for us all to share." Milo grinned as he pulled out a small bag with small blue pills in it from his front pant pocket."Is that X?" Frank eyed it with curiosity as Milo nodded. "Sweet. I haven't had that shit since college!"My entire body shook as if it were frozen to the core, but it wasn't chilly in here at all. I hadn't done ecstasy in years and knew what it would do to me. Instead of screaming on the inside and wanting to slit both of their throats, the drug was going to put my mind in a fog as my body became a sex-machine. I was going to enjoy it if I took that little blue pill and I didn't want to.Milo opened the bag, handing each of us a pill. I didn't take it from him at first u
MELISSA'S POV It had been three days since I received the worst beating of my life. I felt like I had been run over by a damn semi-truck and broke every bone in my body. I didn't remember much the first day after the beating other than a man wrapping my ribs in bed while Milo stood over him. He had said some things to her afterward that I slowly remembered now. Apparently, I was not to go to the hospital and I was not to go to the police. If I did either of those things, he would make everything even worse.And I knew he would somehow.I was finally able to stand on my own as I went into the bathroom and turned on the light. A small note hung on the mirror in Milo's handwriting.I'm in Seattle on business. The studio is not expecting you, and I want you to stay in your condo. Don't answer your phone or the door. See you in a few days. Xo-M.I ripped it down and shredded it into a hundred pieces before I threw it into the trash. This mother fucker thinks he can control me?! And left a
"I care about you, too," I whispered back.He lowered his face and gently kissed the side of my lips that had the least amount of damage. I still winced when our lips connected, but it was nice. He let me go and we started digging for the contract.We had gone through two boxes with no luck when the doorbell rang again."It's probably Johnny. I locked it after he left," I stated as I set down a stack of files and stood up. Damien kept working as I went to let Johnny in."That was fast," I teased as I opened the door. But it wasn't Johnny. Fuck!The blood ran cold in my body as my legs began to shake and my mouth went dry. Alexander Smith stood on my doorstep. He had his back to the door as he finished his smoke; his leather cut and the words WICKED SAINTS greeted me. I wanted to jump into his arms, so thankful that he was here, but then another thought entered my mind.He was here!I released the door and stepped back, knocking things from the small table in the foyer. He came here to
MELISSA'S POV Was I in a dream? Was Alexander actually here? In the flesh? Once things settled and Alexander released Damien, I couldn't help but reach out and place my hands on Alexander's strong chest. His muscles flexed beneath my hands as he let out a small groan."You're real," I whispered before I looked up into his perfect aqua blue eyes.He gave me a small grin. "Of course I'm real."“Who is this guy, Mia?” Damien interrupted our little reunion as Alexander groaned."Her name is Melissa," Alexander growled. "And I should be asking the same of you!" He turned back toward Damien, making my hands slide off of his chest.The two men were in a stare-off as I slipped between them. I pressed my back into Alexander's chest while I faced Damien."Let's sit down and I'll explain everything." Then the front door opened and Johnny's voice filtered in. "There's a sweet ass bike parked upfront." He stood in the hallway, looking at all of us with a confused look on his face. "Oh, hey... Wh
I was in a room full of strangers; two men I didn't know or trust at all, and a woman I thought I knew, but that clearly wasn't the case when I woke up to a cold bed and her closet emptied. I never in a million years thought she would actually run from the club; run from me, but here I was, a thousand fucking miles from home in a city in the middle of Tennessee. What the fuck?I turned and glared at Melissa. "I think it's time they left so I can get some answers." I didn't care if I sounded like a complete asshole. I was done looking at their faces and I was definitely done dealing with the drama that surrounded them.I wanted some answers about who did this to Melissa so I could get some shit started on finding this piece of this who did this to her. I also wanted to give her a piece of my mind and if they didn't leave soon, I was going to give it to her regardless of our audience.Melissa's cheeks flushed as I watched her turn to the two strange men. "I really appreciate you guys st
MELISSA'S POV When I woke, I felt someone lying next to me and for a split second, I began to panic. Who was lying next to me? Then I smelled the familiar scent of Alexander Smith as my entire body relaxed, snuggling even closer to him.The sun was still up which meant we hadn't been asleep for long, but I still felt like I could sleep for several more hours. I remembered Damien and Johnny were still downstairs so I slowly sat up, still holding onto Alexander's hand. I had a hard time leaving him, but I knew I had to see how far those guys had gotten.I got to the end of the bed when I heard Alexander groan and roll to his back."Where do you think you're going?"I smiled, knowing that everything was going to be okay now that he was here."Back downstairs to check on the guys."Alexander sat up, running his hand over his face. "First, let's clean you up. Doesn't look like you've been to a doctor yet."My cheeks blushed as I remembered the words from Milo. No hospital. No phone calls.
He turned and cocked a brow at me."Seriously? This is ridiculous." He pointed at the tub. "Alright, let's get you soaking." He leaned forward and turned on the tap, making sure it was the right temp before he plugged it. After pouring some salt into the tub, he turned to me. "Alright, lift your arms."When he grabbed the bottom of my shirt, I smacked his hands away and stepped back as my cheeks flushed. I didn't want him to see me."Melissa, come on. I've seen your body a million times. Let me help you. Sore ribs can be a real bitch when you're trying to get undressed."I shook my head. "I don't want you to see me," I whispered."Well too bad because I'm going to see you either way. While you're taking a bath, I'm jumping in that sweet ass shower next to you."My eyes moved to the glass separating the tub and the shower. The only thing separating them."You can't wait until I'm done?"He shook his head. "No, because when we're both done, we're going downstairs to kick those guys out,
MELISSA'S POV As I finished drying my hair with a fresh towel, I looked over at Alexander who was putting his jeans back on and buckled his signature belt buckle. 'MC' in large metal letters were etched across the buckle. He looked delicious and I still couldn't believe he was here. I never thought I'd see him again, let alone in my condo in Memphis while he got dressed after an intimate moment."Do you think they're still here?" Alexander asked, standing behind her in the mirror as he ran his hands through his still damp hair.I was mesmerized by the sight of him and couldn't tear my eyes away. "Yeah, they're probably still here."Alexander growled and I knew he didn't like them, but he would have to deal with it because I didn't feel like they were going to go away anytime soon.As we went downstairs, I saw the light on in the office and poked my head in. The place was a mess and there were papers everywhere. Damien was still hard at work, but Johnny was missing."Any luck?" I brok
