Chapter 22

EZRA

After meeting with the club, I did everything I could to get ready. It all came down to this. If I couldn’t get the answers from Ellis tonight, then there was no telling how long I’d have to watch my back for him.

Sebastian gave me a room to stay in at the clubhouse. Despite how old and beat-up Hades was, it was a spacious building that was home to all of the club members when they needed a place to get away.

It was the middle of the afternoon when I was sitting in my room. Nothing on but a pair of boxers, I sat near the window and enjoyed both the breeze and the Ivory warmth.

I closed my eyes and sighed a deep breath through my nose. Just when I thought I was gonna drift off, there was a knock at the door.

“Yeah.”

The door slowly creaked open and Lacey stood there. A pair of jeans and a tight top that accentuated her petite figure, she looked as gorgeous as she always did. But there was worry on her face. Short hair made it that much easier to see.

“Sorry,” she said. “I’m not bothering you, am I?”

“You could never bother me.”

She closed the door and walked toward me.

“You look comfortable,” she said, laughing softly.

“Thought I’d get some rest. I had a busy morning. Lotta shit to get done to get ready for tonight.”

“Tonight… Is there something happening tonight?”

“Everything is set,” I said with a nod. “I’ll take care of Ellis, one way or another. Then you never have to worry about them or me or anybody else following you. You’ll be free to do whatever you want.”

Lacey took a seat on the edge of the bed. Her head down, she still looked uncertain. I would’ve done anything to wipe that look from her face but I knew that the only thing I could do was get it done tonight.

“What are you thinking?” I asked.

“I… I was just thinking about what you told me earlier. About how your grandfather was a member of the MC.”

“That’s right.”

“I don’t know much about motorcycle clubs. But just being around all of the bikers I’ve been around recently told me enough about what they’re capable of.”

“I see… You’re afraid of what Ellis and his gang are going to do to me.”

“No.”

She shook her head and smiled at me.

“I’m afraid of what you might do to them,” she said.

The seriousness in her eyes was enough to tell me what she was getting at. I searched for the words to try and reassure her.

“I don’t have any blood on my hands,” I said. “Not counting what I did for Jamie back when we were in the city moving that weight. But I’ve never squeezed the trigger and executed someone. I’ve never laid fists on a man and beat him up bad enough to put him in a coffin. I’ve only done enough to look out for myself. That’s it.”

I got up from my seat and walked over to her. I put my thumb on her cheek, expecting her to resist but she didn’t. She just closed her eyes and breathed a deep breath through her nose.

“There are things in my life that I’ve done that I regret,” I said. “Mistakes I’ve made when I was younger. No excuses. I did what I did. If I could go back in time and change those things, knowing what it was… I would…”

I moved my hand down toward her arm and trailed it over her soft skin. The tattoo that covered the scars on her skin felt different underneath my fingers.

“…But I can’t change the past. I can only accept the things that were done and try to be better the next time. I’m going to be better… tonight… for you, Lacey.”

Lacey stood up from her seat. She slowly opened her eyes and stared up at me.

“When I look into your eyes, I see so many things,” she whispered. “A man who wasn’t honest with me. A man I fell for. A man who’s capable of all of the best and worst things in the world. You’re going to do something tonight. I want you to promise me something, Ezra.”

“I can promise you that I’ll take care of the Rebels.”

“That’s not what I want,” she said, shaking her head. “I want you to promise me that you do whatever you think is right. I want you to be you. Don’t do this for me or the club or the city. Do this for yourself. Be who you are.”

It wasn’t an easy promise to make. Not knowing what was gonna happen exactly, I wanted to do everything I could for Lacey but she wasn’t giving me the obvious answer.

“Tonight,” I said. “After everything is done. Will you be waiting for me when this is all over?”

Her throat bobbed up and down with a swallow. All of the emotions building up in her eyes made it obvious why she was having trouble responding. She didn’t need to say anything to know her answer.

“That’s your decision,” I said. “Be who you are, Lacey. But if you’ve had enough of me and this is the last time we ever see each other, at least let me say goodbye. Let me say goodbye the only way I know I can.”

I moved closer to her. My face drifted toward hers. I closed my eyes when I saw that she was moving toward me just the same.

My lips met hers and my thoughts emptied. All that there was now was the desire she stirred within me. An inferno in my gut sent fire through my veins.

My tongue teased hers, swirling into her mouth and making our kisses loud. She sighed hard breaths as I trailed my mouth down her neck. Her hands wrapped around my shoulders while I continued to taste her soft, pale skin.

There was no point in holding back.

I rushed my hands toward her jeans and undid them faster than I’d ever done anything in my life. She lifted her top up and tossed it aside. Her bra fell to the floor, freeing her breasts so that I could take them in my mouth. I cupped her tits in my hands and sucked on her. Wet swirls of my tongue on her nipples made them swell hard enough for me to suck on.

“Yes… Just like that…”

She sighed deeply, her voice breaking while I continued to suck on those amazing tits of hers. The sound of her fumbling with the fabric of her panties filled my ears.

I pushed her back on the bed and she fell back. I took a moment to admire her. Legs spread. Pussy wet. Tits heaving from hard breaths. Brown eyes so seductive. Porcelain skin with a tinge of sweat on them. Basking in the Ivory sun shining through the window, Lacey had never looked as fucking gorgeous as she did now.

She stared at me with a focus I’d never seen from her before. She wasn’t smiling to try and tease me. She wasn’t frowning because she was afraid this might be the last time. No, she was focused on just fulfilling that desire that we both had. I wanted to be inside of her and she wanted me to do it.

My cock was throbbing so hard that it hurt. My stiff dick pointed up, hanging down between my legs as I crawled on the bed toward her. Another deep kiss primed the both of us. I was rock hard. She was soaking wet.

I pushed her legs open to make sure that I had all the space I needed then pressed my cock to her entrance. All of the juices spilling out of her engulfed my tip. She was so tight that I felt like I was being swallowed.

“Ezra…”

“Say it… If this is the last time, I want to hear you say it.”

“Fuck me… Fuck me, Ezra… Fuck me—Ahh!”

A sharp, girlish gasp came out of her. Her jaw dropped. Lacey stared at me with a mixture of agony and pleasure contorting her face. I shoved my cock deep into her and planted it firmly, pressing my hilt against her folds.

She was so fucking wet. Just sitting inside of her was enough to make my dick throb and push me to the verge of coming.

I pushed myself up, pressing my palms down on the mattress at her sides as I looked down upon her. Lacey reached up and grabbed my arms. She squeezed my tense muscles as I started to work my dick inside of her.

I moved slow at first. Forceful strokes that let her feel every inch of my swollen shaft. She cried out whenever I filled her up completely. She was so tight that I could only imagine how it must’ve felt to have her walls stretched out.

“Dammit… Lacey… You feel too good…”

I couldn’t help myself. My hips started to buck even faster. I wanted more of her. Her wet pussy tight around my cock. Her body heaving with every stroke. Her hypnotizing stare. Her whimpers of pleasure. Lacey was the picture of a woman no man would be able to resist.

I thumped my cock inside of her and lost control of myself completely. I slammed into her hard and fast. The mattress squeaked with my strokes. The bed shook underneath us. The loud sound of our bodies clapping together grew louder with every thrust.

Through it all, Lacey kept her focus. Eyelids fluttering, she kept staring straight at me.

“Harder… Fuck me… Harder… Please—Hngh!”

I complied with her wishes. Lacey was so petite. So tender. So fragile. But I had to give her what she wanted. I started pounding her like I was trying to break her. She didn’t tell me to stop. She just kept pleading with me as I rammed my cock deep inside of her.

My heart was beating so fast that my chest was on the verge of exploding. Sweat dripped down on me and onto her soft skin. My muscles tensed. My balls rose up underneath me. My cock swelled to the point that if I didn’t find my release, the pain would be unbearable.

I leaned down closer to her. A tender kiss let her know that I still wanted her. I was still with her, ready and willing to give her whatever she wanted.

My forehead pressed against hers as my eyes locked on her stare.

“I’m gonna come,” I said as I pounded her. “I’m gonna come deep inside of your wet cunt.”

“Do it… Do it…”

She said like she was giving me an order. I couldn’t refuse even if I wanted to.

I rifled my cock into her, moving so fast and hard that neither one of us would be able to grunt or groan fast enough.

“Ezra… Oh, God… Fuck!”

Her eyes started to flutter closed. Her nails dug into my arms. Her body seized up underneath me suddenly before she started convulsing violently. She arched her back so that I could get even deeper inside of her.

I pushed as deep as I could and felt the contractions of her pussy, tightening around my dick from her orgasm.

I couldn’t hold back.

I grunted hard as I started to come. I held it for just a second before releasing the first thick load of cum inside of her. There was nothing like exploding inside of a pussy as wet and inviting as Lacey’s felt right now. Over and over, rhythmic throbs pulled all of the cum out of me. I gripped the sheets tight in my palms. Jaw clenched, I kept my focus on Lacey as I emptied everything I could into her.

I wanted it to last forever but my orgasm drained me completely. I came too hard that my strength left me completely.

My cock rested comfortably inside of her. The last few spurts of seed trickled out of me and into her. I leaned down and kissed her, tasting her tongue to savor this moment just a little bit longer.

Lacey stared at me. She was silent except for the deep breaths she took.

There was nothing more left to be said. Everything came down to tonight.
