Devil's Promise (Chaos Bleeds Book 12) Read online

  Slowly, he caressed down her body before moving up.

  His fingers teased, making her ache and want him again and again. When he grabbed a pillow and placed it beneath her hips, she knew what was coming.

  Devil spread the cheeks of her ass, his fingers stroking across her anus. She closed her eyes, giving herself over to him and the pleasure.

  He slid his fingers into her pussy only to bring them back, coating her in her own arousal.

  He pressed a finger within her ass, and she gasped. No matter how many times they did this, there was always a burn, a pinch, just a little pain that made her ache for more.

  With his other hand, he teased her clit, plunging fingers inside her pussy before touching her clit.

  “Do you want my dick inside this juicy ass?”

  “Yes.”

  “Ask me.”

  “Fuck my ass, Devil, please.”

  He groaned, and his teeth grazed her shoulder. She gasped, whimpering as he continued to work her ass, slipping a finger to the knuckle inside her, then a second finger, stretching her out.

  “I’m going to put my dick inside you now.”

  She nodded her consent. She wanted it.

  The large, bulbous head pressed to her pussy, and he slid inside, coating himself once again. He moved the tip to her ass, and she gasped as he pushed past those muscles, filling her inch by inch.

  “Oh, fuck,” they both said together.

  It had been a long time, and she’d forgotten how much she loved him doing this to her. The pleasure and pain combined together, and every single part of her seemed completely on edge, tense, waiting for more.

  “Please, please,” she said.

  “Play with your pussy,” he said. “I want you to come.”

  In and out, he slid inside her, and she stroked her pussy, bringing herself close to orgasm.

  Devil held her hips and fucked her, taking his sweet time, creating that burn she loved so much. She didn’t stay quiet as he took her.

  She screamed his name, begged him not to stop, and was so desperate for more she couldn’t control herself.

  “Please, please,” she said.

  “Come for me, Lexie. Let me feel how fucking hot you are for my dick inside your ass.”

  When she came, she came hard. Devil let her have it. He took her to new heights, making up for lost time, driving in deep. When he came, she felt every single pulse and jet of his orgasm flooding her ass.

  He didn’t pull out of her. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her close.

  “I don’t want to go home,” he said. “I want to stay with you right here forever. Make love to you, run on the beach naked.”

  “Home is where we need to be.”

  “I know.”

  He kissed her neck, shoulder, and simply held her.

  This was her man. The one she loved. Nothing and no one was going to take that away from her.

  She loved him more than anything in the world.

  “Happy Anniversary, Lexie,” he said. “You mean the world to me.”

  She smiled and then moaned as he pulled out of her ass. Within seconds he had her in his arms, and he was leading her toward the bathroom.

  He loved doing this, she knew he did. Cleaning her, helping her to soak in the tub so she’d relax and wouldn’t hurt.

  They’d been married for a long time now, and she knew even if they were married for fifty years or a hundred, there would never be enough time.

  Their love wasn’t something that was bound by their time together living. She’d met her soul mate in Devil, and he’d found his in her.

  ****

  Back at home, Devil opened up all the windows and the doors leading out to the yard. They’d only just arrived, and they’d be getting their kids tomorrow. He’d be driving down to Fort Wills with the family, where they’d have a meal before heading back.

  Wrapping his arm around his wife as she stood in the yard, he kissed her neck. “Happy to be home?”

  “Yes and no.”

  He could have gladly stayed on that island for the rest of his life.

  “Tell me it’ll always be like this? Promise me?”

  “I promise, baby. You’ll always be my number one, and I will love you, honor you, cherish you, and be faithful to you. You’ve got me by the balls, darlin’. The only person who doesn’t always see it is you.”

  He kissed her neck, and she held him tightly.

  Together, exactly as they were supposed to be.

  Chapter Nine

  Simon and Tabitha extra

  “We should head back,” Tabitha said. She shoved her hands into her jeans, staring up at Simon. He’d come calling for her, and she’d wanted to go out, even though her parents didn’t want her to. She couldn’t stay at home right now.

  Everything felt like a trap.

  They were trying to confine her into one room, to make her talk about her feelings or to deal with stuff, and she couldn’t handle that.

  “We can head back if you want.”

  She nibbled her lip, frowning as she did. Why was he giving in so easily?

  “I don’t know.”

  “Tabby, I’m here for you. You just got to ask for it, and I’ll give it to you.”

  He didn’t have to come and call for her. He’d been spending time with Anthony, which was just fun to think about. Anthony loved silence. It’s why they got along so well. She didn’t mind his lack of talking. They often spent hours in the same room without saying a single word.

  “I just want to be able to forget for a few hours. Can you help me do that? To just think about something else.”

  He nodded, taking her hand. “Let’s keep walking.”

  She held onto him as he led her further through the woods. They’d been here many times when he visited in the past. Not when they were really young, but with everything going on with Darcy, not a lot of parents were paying them much mind.

  Simon gripped her hand tightly, helping her over a large boulder as they walked into the clearing of the large meadow. In the spring, bluebells covered the grass for miles, and she loved to walk through it, running her hands across the grass.

  “She’s going to be okay,” Simon said, pulling her into his arms.

  She sighed. “Don’t say stuff like that. Only time will tell if she’s fine. Besides, you’re supposed to be helping me. Not reminding me why it hurts so much.”

  He ran his hands up and down her back, and she held him close.

  “Relax.” He pulled away, and she watched as he removed his jacket. He didn’t have a leather one just yet, so he always wore his denim one. “Come and sit with me.”

  Sitting on her butt, she lay back on his jacket, which he bundled up for their heads to rest on.

  She stared up at the sky. It was so clear and blue. She loved doing this with him. Just lying together. He held her hand, and everything felt calm inside her.

  “You’ll get through this,” he said. “And I’ll be here for you always.”

  “What about when you go back to Piston County? What then?”

  “I’ll always be here for you. That will never change.”

  He was so good to her. Whenever she called him, he was there to answer, no matter the time of day or night.

  “I miss you when you leave.”

  “I miss you too.”

  “I don’t ever want you to go. It gets really hard to see you disappear.”

  He stroked her cheek. “One day we’ll be together forever.”

  She smiled. She never doubted a single word he said.

  “I heard you got suspended from school?”

  “Yeah, I did.”

  “How?”

  “I broke a guy’s nose using that sucker punch you showed me.” She held up her hand that still had some bruising on it.

  “Why?”

  “He pinched Daisy’s butt and told her that for a fat chick she had a nice ass. He thought that would be the end of it. I saw how upset she was, and I just
reacted. I don’t like anyone bullying my friends. I’m a Skull. So, I broke his nose.”

  She saw the laughter in Simon’s eyes. “I can’t believe you did that.”

  “I did. Daisy was mortified.”

  “I’m surprised Miles or Anthony didn’t take care of it.”

  “Oh, Anthony did. He broke the guy’s wrist. Told him he had to learn some manners.”

  “But Anthony’s still in school?”

  “Yep. He did the damage away from public view. He came home a few days after I got suspended, told me what he did. Told me next time, to let him deal with it.” She shrugged. “That’s not going to happen. I saw the look on Daisy’s face. She hated it.”

  “I wish I could have been there.”

  “To beat him up?”

  “Nah, to see you beat him up. I bet you looked hot.”

  She chuckled. “Seriously?”

  “Well, yeah. I know never to take you on in a fight, but it’s funny to watch other guys try to beat you.”

  “I’ve always got my friends’ backs. Daisy needs it. She doesn’t seem to have what it takes to, you know, fight.”

  “I don’t know, she has got some serious ’tude. She gives me the bitch vibe.”

  “She’s going through a lot of stuff right now.”

  “Like what?” Simon asked. “You’re the same age as her and not a bitch.”

  “I can’t tell you.”

  “Why not?”

  “Because we’re besties and Daisy doesn’t want anyone else to know.”

  “Besties? I’m your soul mate.”

  She laughed. “You can’t tell another living soul.”

  “I won’t.”

  “She started her period. You know, the flow and stuff.”

  “Yeah, I know what that is.”

  “It makes her cranky, and then she’s been in touch with her dad. You know, her real one, and that sucks. He didn’t even fight for her or anything when we were a lot younger. Then this stuff with Darcy, and yeah, it gets to her.”

  “You started your period, and you don’t act like a bitch.”

  “You don’t see me every second of every day. Believe me, I’ve got a mean streak.” She sat up, unfolding his denim jacket and putting her arms through. “How do I look?” She got to her feet and turned left then right, pouting as she’d seen some of the women on the catwalk do.

  “Beautiful.”

  She grabbed his hands and pulled him up.

  “Well, well, well, what do we have here?”

  Tabitha turned to see it was Luke and Ryan. They all went to the same school, but they were part of a rival MC group who lived in the next town over. Since the change had brought two schools together, The Skulls now went to school with them. She didn’t know which one spoke, nor did she care.

  “Well, if it’s not little Tabitha. Where’s your twin?” Ryan asked.

  “Why would I need Miles?” she asked. “I was quite happy to rearrange your face without him. Simon, this is the reason I was suspended from school. It seems he can’t handle being beaten up by a girl. I like to think of him as Dickface.”

  Dickface Ryan still had bruises around his eyes, and his nose patched up. Anthony’s handiwork was still there with his hand still wrapped up.

  She wasn’t afraid of them even if they did try to intimidate her. Luke wasn’t so bad, but Dickface tried to scare her off and she wasn’t having any of it.

  Every now and then he found her alone in high school, and those times he’d tried to make her uncomfortable. She hadn’t told anyone about him as a quick kick between his thighs backed him the fuck off.

  “And there is Asshole, also known as Luke.”

  “I see you think you’re tough when you got a boy to protect you,” Dickface said.

  “I don’t need a boy for anything. I can fight my own battles. What about you? Need someone to come and hold your hand?”

  “Are we having any trouble here?” Anthony said, stepping out of the clearing. His arms were folded, and he looked fucking pissed off. Miles was beside him, and both looked fucking angry.

  Dickface paled, and she found that so funny. She winked at him, and he took a step back. This was why she refused to back down to him.

  Beneath all his façade he was a fucking a coward.

  “No trouble. Just out walking.”

  “You’re in Fort Wills. That means you’re trespassing,” Anthony said.

  Luke pointed at a line. “I believe this is the border line. We’re not trespassing on anyone’s land.” He turned his gaze to her. “You should think about that.”

  She took Simon’s hand, no longer interested in staying.

  “See you around,” Luke said.

  She walked up to Anthony and her brother.

  “What’s the big deal?” Tabitha asked.

  “Parents were looking for you,” Miles said. “They’ve got dinner ready. I told them you just needed to clear your head and I’d come and get you.”

  “Shoot, I forgot.”

  “What was going on here?” Miles asked.

  “We just came to relax when those two showed up,” she said, pushing some hair off her face.

  “Who are they?” Simon asked.

  “They’re the guys I’ve told you about in all my letters. It’s nothing for you to worry about, I promise.”

  “We got a handle on it,” Anthony said.

  “Parents don’t like it though,” Miles said. “I’ve heard talk they want a meet to make sure they know to stay the hell away from us.”

  “They don’t scare me.” Anthony glared in their direction.

  Glancing over her shoulder, she saw the two were still talking. Luke stared at her, and she quickly looked back at Anthony.

  “You look like you want to hurt them.”

  “I do, Tab. I do. You can’t come here alone. I don’t trust them.”

  “Please, you’re the one that likes to play with knives,” she said. She’d caught him many times playing with his mother’s collection.

  He raised a brow. “You want to go there?” he asked.

  She shook her head. “I’m getting hungry.”

  “Simon, you’ve got to come back with us.”

  “Ugh, I’ll talk to you later,” Simon said. He pulled her in close and kissed her head.

  They headed out of the woods, and while Anthony and Simon went one direction, she and Miles went the other.

  He was her twin, but they were complete opposites.

  He was the more levelheaded of the two of them, whereas she had to control her temper most of the time.

  “You shouldn’t be alone when you go to the meadow.”

  “I get that. Anthony just said it.”

  “But I know you only hear what you want to hear,” Miles said. “Those guys are bad news.”

  “I can take care of myself.”

  “I know you’re strong, but we’re not stupid either.”

  She was always angry when people treated them like kids. They were not kids and hadn’t been for a long time. Their lives in the club made that clear.

  “Don’t put yourself at risk when you don’t need to. I wouldn’t want anything to happen to you. If they did something, it would start a war between the clubs, Tab. You’re my sister, and I don’t want to lose you.”

  “You really think Dickface and Asshole are that big of a threat.”

  “Not so much Asshole but Dickface, he’s a problem. I know you don’t talk about it, but I’m sure you’ve seen him around school. The way he is.”

  She didn’t say anything as she didn’t want Miles to worry. “I’ll be careful. Not going to the meadow without someone.”

  “Good. Now let’s go and eat.”

  ****

  “If you’re not back by six, I’m throwing you to the wolves,” Anthony said.

  Simon stood on the window ledge. “I get it. I get it. Thanks for doing this, man. I appreciate it.”

  “I’m not doing this for you. I’m doing it for Tabit
ha.”

  “I didn’t like those guys out at the meadow today.”

  Anthony shrugged. “That’s not my problem. It’s part of the school, and you can’t do anything about it.”

  “Do you know if any of them are giving Tabitha trouble?”

  “Dude, she broke a guy’s nose because he touched Daisy. It’s made her public enemy number one. She doesn’t have a problem with that. I wish I was there to see what he did.”

  “Why wait to take him on?” Simon asked.

  “My dad will be pissed if I got suspended. Mom already wanted me to go and see a shrink when I was a kid. She thinks something’s wrong with my head.”

  “I always did think you were weird,” Simon said.

  “Do you want help or not? I can shout for them right now. Dad will lock you in a different room. You won’t be able to go and see Tabitha for a long time.”

  “Screw you.”

  “Are we done? You talk too much, and I’m bored.”

  “You got porn to watch or something?”

  “Get out.”

  Anthony closed the window, and Simon didn’t linger. He and Anthony would never see eye to eye, but that was more than okay. He wasn’t interested in him. Out of all The Skulls, he and Anthony put up with each other because of their friends. Climbing down the tree he was careful as he passed the kitchen window where Lash and Angel were talking. Once he passed the yard, he ran down the street and headed straight for Tiny and Eva’s house.

  If his father caught him now, Devil would make him pay. He shouldn’t be climbing into a girl’s window. He was leaving tomorrow, and he didn’t want to waste another moment of it. His dad would be pissed. He’d been asked to be a good kid while they’d been away, and he had been. Instead of sticking by Tabitha’s side or wandering the streets, he’d stayed close to Anthony, and that guy was a buzzkill on a grand scale. He didn’t do anything fun.

  Tabitha had also been too busy with Darcy, and he didn’t want to come between the two. Taking her to the meadow today was the first time they’d gotten together.

  Thinking about the meadow, of holding her in his arms, he didn’t want to let her go. The meadow brought up memories of those two assholes. He didn’t like the way they looked at her. Both of them clearly liked what they saw when staring at Tabitha, even if there was a bit of hate there as well.
