Crash and Burn (13 page)

eighteen.

Avery could barely breathe. Her eyes had seen so much
tonight, and her body experienced pleasure like she never felt before. And now
she was opening her legs and waiting for Landon to enter her again. This was
the first time she was having sex that wasn
’
t
forced, abusive, and unwanted. This was sex she needed.

Landon placed his thickness to her hole and pressed.

“
Guide
me, sweetheart,
”
Landon
whispered.
“
Feel me, all
the way.
”

Landon took his hand off himself and reached around and
cupped Avery
’
s breast
again. She then reached down, between her legs, and touched Landon
’
s shaft. She pulled at him and
moved her body as needed, allowing Landon to enter her. He slid in slow and
deep. The sensation was the same as before. The intense pressure stole Avery
’
s breath for a second. When
Landon thrust, he hissed. The tightness of Avery
’
s
body wrapped tight around him, holding him.

“
Fuck,
”
Landon said.
“
How the fuck are you still this
tight?
”

Avery reached back and cupped Landon
’
s ass. She pulled, wanting him to fuck her.

He slowly pulled back and then thrust deep and hard. Avery
cried out. The tingling pleasure seemed to attack every nerve in her body. She
rolled a little more to her stomach and took her hand from Landon
’
s ass to hand on to the edge of
the bed. He was slow, but forceful. Landon was completely thorough and this was
for Avery
’
s enjoyment. He
moved more on top of her and put both hands on her lower back. His strength was
intense and when he pulled her down as he thrust, it made the pleasure almost
unbearable.

“
Reach
down and touch yourself,
”
Landon commanded.
“
Touch my
cock as I fuck you.
”

Avery popped her ass up a little and reached between her
legs again. The sound of Landon
’
s
pumping in and out of her pussy was a beautiful song to her ears. Avery barely
touched her clit and she jumped. Avery opened her pointer and middle fingers
and placed them on each side of Landon
’
s
cock. She felt the wetness on his shaft as he fucked her. Avery touched her
clit with her thumb and began to make circles. Landon fucked harder but kept
the same slow pace. Each thrust threw more of Avery
’
s hair to her face. She felt dirty, pleasured, and
cared for all in the same moment.

Landon hissed again and whispered,
“
I want to feel you come again. Right now.
”

Avery closed her eyes and pressed her clit as hard as she
could. Landon continued to fuck her again and again until that peak of pleasure
came to her. Avery
’
s entire
body started to shake. She reached orgasm and lifted her ass even more for
Landon. Now in doggie style, Landon started to speed up a little. Avery took
her hand from between her legs and touched her right breast. She spread her own
wetness to her nipple as she came, intensifying the feeling.

Then Landon came forward with a vicious thrust and pulled
Avery back. It hit a depth she never knew existed. Avery threw her head back
and screamed Landon
’
s name.
That was the exact moment when Landon started to come inside her for the second
time. His hands were fiercely tight on her hips as he throbbed deep in her.

When they both were finished, Landon didn
’
t pull out. Instead, he gently
began to fuck her again, easing them both down. Then, he placed his hands to
her ass and slowly pushed Avery back to the bed. He rolled to his side, back to
their original position.

Landon
’
s
popped free from Avery
’
s
body. He touched her shoulder again and pulled at her.

“
Look at
me,
”
he whispered.
“
Right now.
”

Avery looked back and Landon
’
s
mouth was right there, kissing her.

“
What is
this?
”
Avery managed to ask
between kisses.

“
I don
’
t fucking know,
”
Landon said.
“
I have to go. You stay here and
sleep.
”

Avery nodded. She couldn
’
t
move if she wanted to. She was afraid if she tried to stand she would simply
collapse to the floor.

Landon kissed her shoulder and rolled from the bed. Avery enjoyed
watching Landon dress himself. He wore only jeans for a minute as he dug
through drawers for a fresh shirt. He put one on and then his leather cut.

“
How
does my face look?
”
he
asked.

“
Like
you kicked someone
’
s ass,
”
Avery said.

“
Good.
Stay put, Avery.
”

“
That
’
s the third time you
’
ve said my name
…”

“
I know.
”

Landon turned and left the room.

Avery stared at the door for a few seconds before closing her
eyes. She touched her chest. Her heart was still racing.

She smiled.

She was falling in love with Landon.

nineteen.

Landon entered the room and it was a full table, with the
exception of Erik. Landon stood as the MC slowly all rose to their feet. Miller
led the clapping. Shay whistled and Jace was the first to raise a bottle. The
rest of the table stopped clapping and they all raised their bottles to Landon.

“
What a
fucking night,
”
Miller
said.
“
This is for you, Landon,
and what you did for us.
”

“
Landon!
”
Shay called out.
“
Stone fisted, mad man,
motherfucker.
”

“
Even
with the rings on,
”
Jace
said.

Landon nodded.
“
Thanks.
”

“
For the
record,
”
Blaine said,
“
That asshole got jacked at least
ten more times as he and his crew tried to get out of there. I
’
m surprised he
’
s not dead yet.
”

“
You don
’
t fuck with the rules of
fighting,
”
Griffin said.

“
They
were setting us up,
”
Landon
said.
“
They knew the bets
and what we put down on the fight.
”

“
Sit,
”
Miller said.
“
Everyone, sit. We have a lot to
talk about right now. And it
’
s
getting late. We all need a drink, a fuck, and Landon needs a goddamn shower.
”

“
Nah, he
’
s fine,
”
Blaine said.
“
I
smell more pussy than sweat right now.
”

Landon took his seat next to Griffin and Nate pushed a beer
bottle to him.

“
Drink,
bro,
”
Nate said.
“
Drink.
”

“
First
up,
”
Miller said.
“
Landon, how
’
s the face? No shame in needing
medical attention. I can call the doc if you need.
”

“
I
’
m good,
”
Landon said.
“
Don
’
t need stitches. Everything will
clear up. I still know two plus two and I remember my name.
”

“
You
’
re smarter than Blaine,
”
Gaige said.

The table burst out in laughter.

Miller whistled and then folded his hands.
“
Okay. Tonight was a good night
for all of us. It was great to get back to a fight without any real bullshit
happening. We took the bets and cleaned house, proving that Back Down Devil is
not a MC you fuck with. More importantly, it seems we have some great news from
our friends, Jonesy.
”

“
Jonsey?
”
Landon asked.
“
What the fuck would he have for
us?
”

“
We go way
back with him,
”
Miller
said.
“
He respects us and
trusts us.
”

“
Which
means?
”

“
It
means,
”
Griffin said,
“
that while you were fighting,
Landon, Jonesy was working. He has information for us already.
”

“
No
shit,
”
Shay said with his
hands in fists.
“
He knows
who tried to light me up?
”

“
He
knows,
”
Griffin said.

“
We
’
re making the exchange in a
couple days,
”
Miller said.
“
He knew we
’
d get the money for him. That
means we are so fucking close to fixing this.
”

“
There
’
s no fixing it,
”
Landon said.
“
We have an empty seat at our
table.
”

“
Not for
long.
”
Miller said.

Miller smiled and looked around.

“
No way,
”
Jace said.

“
Fucking
right,
”
Shay said.

Landon got the message and nodded.

“
He
’
s coming home,
”
Miller said.
“
He
’
s
coming home to the club.
”

“
About
damn time,
”
Blaine said.

“
That
’
s right,
”
Miller said.
“
We
’
re giving him a heroes welcome. We
are all going for him. Shay, I want you to take the car and drive him back
here. We get on that street to show the town, and the other MC
’
s, that Back Down Devil doesn
’
t rest. We don
’
t die. We don
’
t collapse. We fucking rise up
and we fucking take what
’
s
ours.
”

“
Here,
here!
”
Shay cried out. He
stood and raised his bottle.

The rest of the table followed suit, including Landon. The
feeling in the room was thick and addicting. This was what people outside the
clubhouse and in the
real world
didn
’
t
quite understand.

Griffin put an arm around Landon and pulled him tight.
“
You did great tonight, man. I
don
’
t know how you do it
like that.
”

“
I
’
m just pissed off,
”
Landon said.
“
And I like fighting.
”

“
You
need to talk to Miller for a second though. Clear the air. In private.
”

“
I got
it,
”
Landon said.

Miller whistled and calmed the room.
“
Now, that
’
s
all the business we have right now. Enjoy tonight. Things are going to get
fucking busy
…
and bloody.
But this time, we
’
re
spilling the blood. We
’
re
showing who we are and what we can do.
”

The table started to clear. Gaige patted Landon on the back
as he walked by. Gaige went to the door and held it open. Then the only members
left in the room were Miller, Blaine, Landon, and Gaige.

“
I need
a second,
”
Blaine said.
“
I have something for Landon.
”

“
What
’
s that?
”
Landon asked.

“
What
you did showed balls. Big, heavy, beautiful fucking balls.
”

“
Christ,
Blaine,
”
Miller said.

“
Sorry,
”
Blaine said.
“
I
’
d
take a bullet for anyone in this MC and tonight proves why. As we were getting
ready to head out of there, I spotted our beaten friend
…”
Blaine reached into his pocket and pulled out a
gold ring. He tossed it to the table and pointed.
“
I broke his fucking finger in a few spots as I took
that off. You should keep that, Landon.
”

Blaine walked from the room and Gaige shut the door. Landon
reached down and took the ring into his hand.

“
He
’
s right,
”
Miller said.
“
What
you did
…”

“
That
’
s enough talking about it,
”
Landon said.

“
I
agree,
”
Gaige said.
“
Let
’
s talk about Strokner for a second.
”

Landon and Gaige sat and told Miller what had happened with
their meeting. Miller drank whiskey and stared straight ahead. Landon picked up
on how nervous Gaige looked. Sure, the guy had fucked up, but everyone fucked
up. That was just part of life.

“
So, we
’
re in bed with this guy,
”
Miller said.

“
He
’
s in bed with us,
”
Landon said.
“
He can protect our land and
other assets as long as he feels he can call upon us.
”

“
Where
’
s the line?
”
Miller asked.
“
Are we prepared to just go out
and blow up some guy?
”

“
Someone
who
’
s going to fuck us
over,
”
Gaige said.

Miller nodded.
“
What
do we know about this guy?
”

“
He
’
s an asshole and likes pussy,
”
Gaige said.

“
That
could be any of us,
”
Miller
said.

“
We
’
re working on it,
”
Landon said.

“
Blowing
shit up, after what happened here? With Erik coming back? Christ
…
what a fucking mess,
”
Miller groaned.

“
If we
do this for Strokner, he
’
ll
get spooked,
”
Gaige said.

“
Just
like with the eyes?
”
Miller
asked.

“
That was
afavor, too. But this
…
when
he sees our power, he
’
ll
get it.
”

“
I guess
we don
’
t have a choice
right now,
”
Miller said.
“
But if this thing gets out of
hand
…”

“
I know,
”
Gaige said.

“
I think
it
’
s an easy way to protect
that land out there,
”
Landon said.
“
We have
enough right here to deal with first. Then we can send Strokner back to his
corporate asshole life.
”

“
Okay,
”
Miller said.

Gaige stood, but Landon didn
’
t.
Gaige left the room and Landon gripped his beer bottle tight.

“
What do
I need to say?
”
Landon
asked.

Miller put a hand to Landon
’
s
arm.
“
Nothing. You did good
tonight. That last fight got the best of you though. We almost lost the cash.
”

“
I
’
m sorry that happened,
”
Landon said.
“
But after taking a few shots to
the face with those rings
…”

“
I get
it. You wanted him to feel it. And trust me, he did. From you and from everyone
else who rightfully took a shot at that guy. He
’
ll
never fight again. You don
’
t
fuck with the rules.
”

Landon nodded.
“
I
’
m glad we
’
re going to put this shit behind us soon. The table
will be full, you know?
”

“
What
about you?
”
Miller asked.
“
Are you going to be okay?
”

“
Fine,
”
Landon said.

He stood and looked down at Miller.

“
Just
keep your head straight,
”
Miller said.

Landon left the room. The clubhouse was bustling again.
Things would work themselves out. Erik would be back soon. They
’
d find the person or people who
tried to kill him and settle that debt. And as far as Avery went
…

Landon walked down the hall, ignoring the calls of his name.
He went to his room and opened the door to find Avery sound asleep. He grabbed one
of the beers from earlier and twisted the cap off. He went to a chair and sat,
staring at Avery.

What was it about this chick? It was
…
intense. He couldn
’
t
imagine her leaving. She couldn
’
t
just go out on the run again. This guy would find her, abuse her, rape her, and
eventually kill her. And nobody would probably care.

Landon downed the beer and went to the bed. He crouched down
and ran a hand through Avery
’
s
hair. She was beautiful, even when sleeping. He opened the covers and saw her
naked body. It made Landon
’
s
throb.

What a woman.

He covered Avery again. He touched his pants and squeezed
himself. This wasn
’
t him
just getting hard because Avery was beautiful. It wasn
’
t him getting hard because he had felt the comfort
of Avery
’
s mouth and pussy.
This was something much different.

Landon climbed into bed, kicked off his boots, and turned
off the light. He sat in the dark, and drank the four beers, one after another.
He just sat there, drinking and thinking. Every few minutes, he reached with
his left hand to touch Avery
’
s
shoulder, just to prove she was still there. It dawned on him that if she wasn
’
t there, it would hurt.
A
lot.
