Chapter Fourteen
Tannin couldn’t recall the last time he’d showered with a woman. Slept in the same bed with one, yes. Fucked one more than once in a night, definitely. But not this. This was intimate and playful. The kind of thing you did with a girlfriend or a wife.
None of the Brothers were married. Not in the legal sense of the word. A few had old ladies, but most of them enjoyed their carefree, fuck-anyone-they-wanted-to status way too much to consider getting tied down. They hurt no one, and no one’s expectations were blown to hell and back.
“You are seriously an amazing kisser.”
He smiled down at this dark-haired beauty who had come into his life in the most bizarre way imaginable. “This coming from the woman whose mouth makes my dick ache.”
“That’s a good thing, right?”
He chuckled. “Yeah. Very good.” Tannin grabbed a bottle of shampoo off the shelf and poured some into his palm. “You’ll have to deal with this brand today. We forgot to grab yours.”
“I think I can handle it.”
“Turn around. I don’t want to get this in your eyes.” She did as he asked, and Tannin washed her hair, taking care to go slowly. It was a tangled mess. He’d never done this to another person and wasn’t sure how rough he might accidentally be.
“That feels wonderful.”
“Back up to rinse it off. I don’t have any conditioner.” Isn’t that what women used?
“I’ll survive one day without it.”
“How do you keep it so curly?”
“I don’t have to try. It’s that way on its own.”
He ran his fingers through the tresses until so trace of soap remained. “I love it. It’s wild and sexy.”
“Thank you.” She turned to face him. “My turn.”
After she’d washed his hair, they took turns with the bar of soap, gently washing each other’s bodies. Tannin’s cock was ready to burst, and her soft moans drove him to distraction. If anyone came into his room and disturbed them now, he would have to kill that person, Brother or not.
By the time they were done teasing each other with soap and water, Tannin had to seriously concentrate hard not to come. He licked her nipples, squeezing her tits together. “I need to fuck you. I can’t take anymore.”
“Condoms are out there somewhere.”
“Then I need to fuck your mouth or your ass, because I can’t wait.”
“Then I’ll go and get one, along with some lube. You’re not fucking me in the ass without either, Tannin.”
Oh God. “All right. Stay here. I swear I’ll be right back.” She was really going to let him do it! He nearly slipped stepping out of the shower. Before returning to the bathroom, he put on a condom, and took the bottle of lube in there with him.
“Your ass is really bruised, otherwise I’d spank and flog you again.”
Her sly grin sent fresh arousal coursing through him. “You can swat me a little. I’ll be all right.”
“Jesus.” Tannin place the lube on the shelf and turned her around, bending her over and holding her by the waist. He glanced around, grinning when he spotted the bath brush. Yeah. That will do.
After grabbing it off the hook, he brushed it across her ass cheeks.
“Oh … what is that? Your bath brush?”
“Very perceptive.” Tannin tapped it against her ass gently, to gauge whether she really could take any swats this morning. When she moaned softly and arched her back, he hit her harder. “Seriously the sexiest woman I have ever met, Rai.”
She didn’t answer, only moaned again. Tannin gave her ten strikes, but not very hard ones. He’d think of something really decadent for more impact play later. Right now, his dick had a date with a very tight hole.
****
On top of the wounds Tannin had put there last night, his simple bath brush had made quite an impression. Literally. She giggled at her own joke, earning her another sexy grin from him.
“Something funny?”
“Just happy.” She moved closer and put her arms around him. “Are we going to stay in here for this?”
“As long as the water stays warm. Turn around.”
Rai shivered at the tone in his voice, and did as he asked.
“Bend over. Put your hands on that lower shelf.”
After she did, he pushed up against her and reached underneath to massage her breasts. Once he removed his hands, he picked up the lube that was next to her. She listened to him squirt some from the tube, and then a warm, wet finger slipped into her asshole. It had been a while since she’d had anal sex, but within seconds the familiar, peaceful sensation enveloped her.
“You’re so tight!”
“It’s been a while.”
He removed his finger and slid two inside, gently stretching the walls. Rai relaxed her muscles and let go of everything so she could enjoy it. The water was still warm, and provided a soothing backdrop.
Tannin kissed her lower back. “I can’t hold off much longer.”
“Then fuck me, Tannin.”
His grunt was followed by the removal of his fingers and his sheathed cock sliding inside, slowly. She was touched he took such care. “Oh, God, Rai. That feels so fucking good!”
“I love it, too.”
When he reached around with one hand and rubbed her clit, a powerful orgasm began to crest. How in the hell could she come again so soon? This man had magical powers. There was no other explanation. His dick inside her ass felt so damn good, even when he increased his strength and speed. He’d used enough lube that there was no discomfort, only the sweetest pleasure.
“Oh … fuck. Here I come.” He removed his hand from her groin and held onto her hips, slamming into her. His balls slapped her pussy with each thrust, but Rai didn’t mind. She loved this. All of it. The spanking, the flogging, the paddling with a bath brush, and the rough-and-tumble way he made love.
He now knew more about her than anyone, with the exception of her parents. At least they hadn’t lived to see her fall this way. That would have pushed them over the edge. They had both died before she found Ronnie in bed with Lori.
“Oh, baby … I came so fucking hard!”
She mentally shook away thoughts of the past and turned around. He’d already withdrawn and removed the condom. Where had her mind been? Rai put her arms around him and moved against his body. “So did I.”
Tannin held her close until his breathing slowed down. “The water is turning cold.”
“Let’s get dressed. I can’t wait to see the club.”
The expression on his face grew thoughtful as they turned off the water and stepped out of the shower. They locked gazes for long moments before Tannin broke eye contact first, his face slightly flushed. “Come on. I’ll show you where to wash your clothes, where the kitchen is, and other stuff you need to know about the building.”
She could be here for a while. Might as well think of it as home for now. When they went back to her room across the hall, the tray was gone. Rai gathered up her dirty clothes and put them into a mesh bag she’d brought along. After dressing in clean clothes, she checked her email, but Russell hadn’t yet written her back.
“He’s probably busy.” It was after eight in the morning, and even on a Saturday, he’d be up and working. Why hadn’t he emailed her back? What if her email went to his spam folder and he never saw it?
“He’ll email back, Rai.”
“You know, I have his phone number. I could turn the phone on, text him real quick, and turn it back off again.”
“If he doesn’t email you back by this afternoon, make that your plan B, okay?”
“Okay.” She took the bag and followed Tannin down the hallway.
“All of the Brothers, the sweetbutts, and the staff have rooms on this floor, and on the two above us.”
“What is a sweetbutt?”
“A girl who is here for … you know. For sex with any of us. They also work here, either as dancers, cooks, or in other capacities. It’s a big building. It takes a large staff to keep it running.”
Rai stopped walking, overcome by jealousy, which was absurd. Nonetheless, there it was. “So, you have sex with Legs and Tarot?”
“Why is it important to know?”
“Um, because I met you less than twelve hours ago and you’ve fucked every hole I have.”
“You know, you demand a lot more than I’m used to from women.”
“You poor thing.”
They locked gazes again, but this time the expression on his face wasn’t thoughtful or kind. “I’m only answering your question because you need to understand how things are here.”
“I appreciate that.”
“I had sex with Legs before she was Gorgon’s old lady. We all did.”
“Old lady?”
“It’s only an expression, not a derogatory label. It means they’re together, as in monogamous. No one would dare touch her, or he’d kick the shit out of them and they’d be gone from the MC.”
“And Tarot?”
“Once.”
The images floating through her mind morphed from Tannin and Legs to Ronnie and Lori. Not the same thing at all!
“Tarot did nothing for me.” He ran a hand through his hair. “Don’t look at me that way. It’s not as horrible as you think it sounds.” He waited for her to respond, but she didn’t. “Rai, it’s our way.”
She said nothing because she was too busy trying to get her emotions under control.
“I was in a relationship recently with a woman who is not part of this club. But those rarely work out.”
They continued to stare at each other.
“For fuck’s sake, Rai. Say something.”
“I honestly have no words.”
“It’s not what you’re picturing.”
“What do you think I’m picturing?”
“Massive orgies, passing the girls around, I don’t know.”
Stay calm. You don’t own him. “If you wanted to have sex with Tarot or one of the other … sweetbutts, you could, though. Correct?”
“Yes. But I don’t. I only want you.”
Okay. But there was still one question that needed clarification. “And will I also be expected to perform those duties?”
“No. Not unless you want to.”
“Do you want me to have sex with the other men in the MC?”
“Rai…”
“Answer the question, Tannin.”
“You really need to stop ordering me around!” He looked very uncomfortable as he ran a hand over his face, but she didn’t give a shit. This burst of envy and uncertainty was unwarranted. She recognized that, but she couldn’t stop herself.
Holy hell. The reality of why she’d reacted this way hit her right in the gut. She had feelings for this guy. How in the hell was that possible after one night?
Rai had had her share of flings in the past, and was no stranger to one-night stands, or relationships that barely lasted weeks. But she got over them quickly. Not since Ronnie had she allowed anyone inside this far. Fuck. She was in deep shit here.
“No. I don’t want anyone else touching you.”
“Then it has to be mutually monogamous.”
“I agree. That’s what I want, too.” He took the mesh bag from her hand and dropped it by his side, then pulled her into his arms and kissed her, tongue and all. By the time he released it, her pussy was soaking wet and she was dizzy with need, all over again.
“That is exactly what I want. Can you handle that? Because I’ve never felt this way before. But when I want something, I don’t give up until I have it.”
“And you want me?”
“Yes.”
Those ice blue eyes filled with lust and determination. It was an intoxicating combination, and she was powerless to stop this tide. Just as powerless as she’d been when she’d followed him into this building last night. Where would this end? She had no clue. She only knew what was in her heart. “I want you, too, Tannin.”
He pulled her close and held her again, for long moments, until a noise from the other end of the hall distracted them. “Come on,” he said. “I’ll show you where everything is.”
