Crash and Burn (5 page)

“
What?
”
Landon asked.
“
Take it up the ass?
”

“
No,
”
Avery said.
“
Gosh, do you always talk like
that?
”

“
I talk
however the fuck I want, sweetheart,
”
Landon said.
“
What did he
want?
”

“
Blowjob,
”
Avery said.

“
Okay.
Good to know.
”

“
Why is
that good to know?
”
Avery
asked.

Landon grabbed another slice of pizza.
“
Well, I
’
m out six hundred bucks for a cold pizza pie.
Someone owes me something.
”

Avery
’
s
mouth fell open.
“
You don
’
t think I
’
m
…”

Landon laughed as he chewed. He swallowed and then touched
Avery
’
s face. His touch was
rough and the rings on his fingers made him even hotter.
Fuck.

“
Sweetheart,
”
Landon said,
“
if I want you to blow me, I
’
d order it and you
’
d listen. I
’
ll find another way for you to
earn your keep.
”

“
What if
I told you to go fuck yourself?
”
Avery asked.

Landon
’
s
hand slid around her neck and tightened.
“
That
would only turn me on more. Now, take that tray back to Pop before I bend you
over my motorcycle right in front of everyone.
”

Avery grabbed the tray and succumbed to the order from
Landon. He did have a hell of a point. He saved her life. He paid Pop six
hundred dollars. Avery walked away and as she turned to go into the pizza shop,
she heard a voice yell,
“
GET
DOWN MOTHERFUCKER!
”

When Avery whipped around, she saw another man running at
Landon. The man had a gun and when he got close enough to Landon, he swung and
smacked Landon in the face it. He was tall, skinny, and really young.

“
I
’
ll fucking kill you,
”
Landon yelled.

“
One
through your fucking head,
”
the man said.
“
One in the
heart. That
’
s the order,
brother
…”

Avery sprung into action before she knew what she was doing.
She ran toward the scene, fearing that Landon would be shot and killed.
Something inside her triggered. She couldn
’
t
face the dumb fate of a man who just saved her life to only end up dead ten
minutes later.

“
You get
it?
”
the man yelled at
Landon.
“
You get what
’
s happening?
”

“
Fuck
yourself,
”
Landon said.
“
You don
’
t know who I am. Who we are. What
’
s going to happen to you and
your crew.
”

Avery rushed up behind the man with the gun. If he really
had been paying attention he would have known Avery was there. But he was
focused on Landon. He was sweating like crazy, telling Avery he was afraid.
With only the metal pizza tray in her hand, Avery brought it over her head and
swung down. The tray hit the man in the head with an almost
gong
sound.
It did nothing to hurt him, but it caused him to turn around to see who had hit
him.

“
Who the
fuck are you?
”
he asked.

Avery dropped the pizza tray. That
’
s when Landon made his move. He clamped a hand on
the man
’
s shoulder and
turned him back around. A fist connected with the man
’
s face and blood sprayed all around, almost hitting
Avery. The man went to one knee, but Landon wasn
’
t
done.

“
Dumb
motherfucker,
”
Landon said.
He ripped the man
’
s shirt
open and grabbed his left arm.
“
Didn
’
t get your full tat yet, did
you?
”

“
I will
when I kill you,
”
he said.

Landon kicked with a heavy foot, hitting the man in the
face. More blood sprayed.

Avery stood in a state of disbelief, taken back at the scene
unfolding in front of her eyes. This was pure violence, the kind she rarely
seen before. Landon meant business. This wasn
’
t
a biker in a leather cut, cruising the beach for pizza and pussy. This was real
stuff. Then again, Avery told herself she should have known better
…
she had seen that explosion in
the parking lot.

“
I have
to settle this,
”
Landon
said.
“
Don
’
t fucking leave, sweetheart.
”

Landon put a hand on the back of the man
’
s neck and lifted him. He walked
and forced the man down a set of steps and under the wooden walkway. Avery followed,
wanting to see what was going to happen next. It was really turning her on
watching Landon beat the hell out of this guy. Nothing seemed to bother Landon;
he had no sense of fear in the world.

As Avery stood halfway down the steps she saw Landon with
his hand at the man
’
s
throat, holding him against a wooden post.

“
You
fucking pieces of shit are not going to win this,
”
Landon said.
“
Sneak attacks
at the hospital, fuck you. Running up on me while I
’
m alone, fuck you.
”

“
Fuck
you, man.
”

Avery
’
s
eyes widened. She could sense Landon was going to hit the guy again. She
gripped the metal railing, wanting it to happen. She wanted to see it. The
power, the strength, the
…

Landon moved fast again. He reached to his waist and pulled
out a long knife. Before Avery could even attempt to gasp, Landon drove the
knife into the man
’
s gut.
He pulled it out, and just as fast, he drove it into the man
’
s chest.

The man fell and Landon crouched down. He cleaned the blade
with the man
’
s shirt and
then put his knife away.

Avery had never seen a murder like this before. She
’
d seen gunshots and drive-bys
and all that mess of shit in life, but nothing like this.

Landon turned and their eyes met. His lip curled and he walked
toward her.

“
You
’
re coming with me, sweetheart,
”
he ordered.

“
Where?
”
Avery asked.

“
Wherever
the fuck I take you.
”

Avery started to shake.
“
Are
…
are you going to hurt me?
”

Landon walked up the steps, put a hand to her wrist, and
pulled.
“
I probably will. I
hurt everyone. Deal with it, sweetheart.
”

six.

Landon felt the breeze on his face and the tight grip of
Avery around his waist.

What the hell was happening right now?

All Landon wanted to do was take an hour to himself. He
wanted a slice of the best damn pizza in the world and then he wanted to cruise
around, keeping his eyes open for any bullshit, but mostly to clear his mind.
The last thing he signed up for was saving some chick
’
s life, but she quickly repaid the favor. Then, she
watched him kill that scumbag from Eight Under.

Fuck.

Landon sped down the road, the beach to his right, the town
to his left. He took the road for miles with no real place to go. He couldn
’
t ride too long, there were a
couple phone calls he needed to make. One to the chief to warn him of the dead
body near the beach and one to the club to let them know that Eight Under was
still playing fucking games.

The ocean crashed into the rocks with fury while the vast land
on the other side of the road could have been a giant graveyard for all Landon
cared. Plenty of land to bury all the guys in Eight Under. Plenty of land to
bury anyone who messed with the MC. It felt like the days of respect and
playing by unspoken rules over. When everyone did as they wanted, without care,
it became unruly, and that meant justice needed to be serviced to keep everyone
in line. The constant retaliation only spilled more blood and cost more lives.
But without retaliation there were no messages sent or received by the enemies.
And those enemies seemed to be growing by the day now.

The road twisted and turned a little until finally Landon
felt calm and safe enough to pull over. Landon cut to the right and went off
the road. He stopped the motorcycle and killed the engine. He climbed off and then
let Avery off. She unclipped the helmet and handed it to him.

As Landon stared at her, he wanted to be mean. But, damn,
this woman was beautiful, considering her hair was a mess, she had no makeup
on, and she was wearing old clothes. She pulled it all off easily. The wind
from the ocean ripped around them, throwing Avery
’
s
hair around her face.

Landon reached forward and gently tucked the loose strands
of hair behind her ears. That
’
s
when he made the connection. This woman was the one who dropped a motorcycle
outside the MC lot just about the time Shay
’
s
car exploded.

“
Are you
going to kill me?
”
Avery
asked.

“
Depends.
Do I have reason to kill you?
”
Landon sensed Avery
’
s fear.
“
Do I have a reason?
”

“
I don
’
t think so
…”

“
Take
off your fucking pants,
”
Landon said.

“
What?
No.
”

“
It wasn
’
t a question. It was a fucking
order, sweetheart.
”

“
I
’
m not taking off my pants,
”
Avery said.

Landon reached down and grabbed the top of her pants. He
pulled her against his body.

Avery slapped Landon across the face.
“
I said no, asshole.
”

“
Slap me
again, sweetheart. Come on. Fucking do it.
”

Avery slapped Landon again. Landon pushed on the top of her
jeans. The tips of his fingers felt the lacy cloth of her panties. It made him
grip harder, wanting to slide his fingers into her panties and explore her.

“
If you
don
’
t take your fucking
pants off, I
’
ll throw you
down and rip them off. Then you
’
ll
have to walk around with no pants. Is that what you want?
”

“
Just
fucking kill me then,
”
Avery said.
“
If that
’
s what you want to do.
”

Landon smiled.
“
I
never said I wanted to kill you. I
’
m
ordering you to take your fucking pants off.
”

“
I
’
ll call for help.
”

Now Landon laughed.
“
I
am the fucking help, sweetheart. Who do you think runs this little town and the
surrounding areas? You think anyone can just gut some son of a bitch and leave
him there? Are you stupid, or just being a bitch?
”

Avery slapped Landon yet again. Landon didn
’
t flinch. Instead he reached for
one of the biggest rings on his finger. It was black and gold, the letters BDD being
the black part. He slid it off his finger and took Avery
’
s hand. The ring had no chance of fitting on any of
Avery
’
s fingers so Landon
put it on her middle finger and then forced her to make a fist.

“
What is
this?
”
Avery asked.

“
Backhand
me next time,
”
Landon said.
“
Then maybe it
’
ll actually fucking hurt when
you hit me.
”

Avery looked at her hand and then at Landon.
“
I just want to go then, okay? I
won
’
t tell anyone what you
did. You saved my life
…”

“
And you
saved mine,
”
Landon said.
“
That means we
’
re connected, sweetheart. But I
’
m still confused as to why you
’
re here. Don
’
t think I don
’
t remember.
”

Avery opened her mouth and Landon put his open mouth to
hers. He couldn
’
t help
himself. Standing there with Avery was making him hard. Her lips were thin and
looked tasty. His mind forced him to wonder what it would be like to have those
thin lips running up and down his shaft
…
and the only way to chase those thoughts away was to kiss her.

As Landon kissed Avery, letting his tongue slide over her
tongue, tasting its wet sweetness, he put his hand back to her pants. This time
he had his fingers in her panties. He felt the smoothness of skin, leading down
to her sensual curve. Damn, he wanted to fuck this chick and he wanted to do it
now.

When Landon felt a sting of pain hit his face, the kiss
ended and his hand was out of Avery
’
s
pants and panties. He was taken back for just a second but when he saw how wide
Avery
’
s eyes were and how
heavy she was breathing, he laughed. He touched his cheek and it stung a
little.

“
Told
you that ring would help,
”
Landon said.

Avery was shaking. She ripped the ring off her finger and
gave it back to Landon. She then stepped back and unbuttoned her pants. She
pushed them down to her knees. Landon throbbed. The blowing wind kept teasing
him with Avery
’
s shirt. Her
panties were jet black. The way she held her pants at her knees, slightly bent
over, it was starting to drive him mad.

“
To your
ankles, sweetheart,
”
Landon
said.

Avery hesitated but complied. That's when Landon saw what he
had been looking for. Avery
’
s
left leg was all fucked up. Scrapes, bruises, and cuts. All from dropping a
motorcycle

“
You
were fucking there,
”
Landon
said.

“
Where?
”
Avery asked.

“
At the lot.
Coming by when the explosion went off
…”

“
I know,
”
Avery said.
“
That
’
s why I
’
m
here.
”

Landon hurried to Avery and grabbed her by the waist. His
bare hands were against her soft skin.
Fuck.
He needed to stop thinking
of her like this. Right now.

“
Who the
fuck are you?
”
Landon
barked.

“
I
’
m Avery
…
I was running from someone.
”

“
From
who? What did you have to do with all this?
”

“
Nothing,
I swear. That was coincidence.
”

“
Fuck
that,
”
Landon said.
“
There is no coincidence. You
were at the right place at the right time. A little diversion, huh? One of our
brothers was almost killed because of that explosion. But the bomb went off on
the wrong person
…”

“
A bomb?
What?
”

“
Don
’
t fuck with me,
”
Landon said. He lifted Avery
off her feet.

“
Stop
it,
”
Avery said.

Landon saw the look in her eyes. That intense look of fear.
He put her back to her feet and crouched down. He touched her left leg, running
his hands up and down. When his fingers touched her wounds, she winced but didn
’
t move. Landon touched both of Avery
’
s legs. His right hand moved up
to her thigh. He came across her leg and felt a little muscle. Muscle used for
pumping, for thrusting,
for fucking
.

Landon kept going. His heart pounded in his chest with anger
and confusion. He touched Avery
’
s
panties and let his thumb move along the line of her black panties. When he
pressed against her center, he felt the warmth. His thumb sought out the edge
of her panties and he pulled. His thumb curled and he was inside her panties
now. He touched the wet folds of her body. Avery touched Landon
’
s hair and he suddenly backed
away from her and he stood up.

“
Pick
your fucking pants up,
”
he
said.

Avery
’
s
face was flustered, her mouth open.
“
What
are you going to do now?
”

Landon reached for one of the chains clipped to his belt. He
unhooked it and nodded to Avery.

“
I
’
m going to chain you to my ride
while I make a couple calls. Then we
’
re
going to the clubhouse to sort this shit out.
”

“
I didn
’
t do anything,
”
Avery said.
“
I swear.
”

“
Just
listen to me, sweetheart,
”
Landon said.
“
My patience
is thin.
”

Avery did as she was told. Landon then made her sit on the
ground and he chained her to the back of his motorcycle. When he stood again
and looked down, he thickened even more. Avery
’
s
arms were a little in the air, wrists together, bound to the motorcycle. She
stared at him and for a split second Landon saw himself opening his jeans and
taking out his thick cock and letting her taste him.

That pissed him off even more. This chick could be an enemy
to the MC and Landon couldn
’
t
stop thinking about fucking her or having her suck him off.

He turned and stepped away a few feet and took out his cell
phone.

He needed to make those phone calls.

And he needed to find a way to stop getting hard when he
looked at Avery.
