Ultimate
betrayal leaves Hawk, the president of an outlaw motorcycle club, distrustful
and hating women. He only wants them for one thing now, and once he’s satisfied
his animal urges he casts them aside without a second thought. But then Audra
shows up, threatening his club and his way of life, and Hawk has to decide to
turn the sexy, pint-sized package of trouble loose, or claim her for his own.
Excerpt:
I quickly scooted out of the booth, realizing Hawk was right
behind me. Before I could question him, he grabbed my arm and proceeded to jerk
me in the direction leading to the back of the bar. I glanced around the bar
wildly, but I didn’t see Dane’s men anywhere.
“They left, but they’ll be back.” We entered a dark hallway
and halfway down he stopped us at a door. I expected him to knock, but he
lifted his leg and kicked the door in, causing the occupants in the room to
scream out in fear. “Out!” he snarled.
I barely had time to acknowledge the naked couple before
they snatched up their strewn about clothes and rushed past us. As the man
passed me I recognized him as one of Hawk’s men. We made eye contact long
enough for him to wink at me. Once they cleared the threshold, Hawk pulled me
inside and slammed the door behind him.
“Take your clothes off.”
“What?”
“Take your clothes off.”
I know my jaw dropped at his demand. When I realized that he
meant it I began to back up, slowly shaking my head. “You’re crazy!” I
whispered sharply.
“Take your fuckin’ clothes off!” So far he hadn’t moved from
his spot, yet I’d backed up until my back was against the wall. “Those men knew
how to find you, which means there’s a bug on you somewhere.”
I tried to decipher what he was saying, but my brain
wouldn’t wrap around the words that he thought I had a bug on me. He took a
menacing step toward me, and that was all I needed to do what he wanted.
Strangely, I wasn’t afraid of Hawk, only of what having his hands on me would
make me feel. I was attracted to him in a strange way that left me feeling
confused. Maybe it was because I knew that he wasn’t attracted to me.
I quickly removed my hoodie and handed it to him, kicking
off my shoes at the same time. As Hawk began going over it, I unzipped and
rolled down my jeans. I’d reached for the bottom of my t-shirt when a memory
slammed into me.
“Just a minute.” I waited for him to look at me. “There’s no
way there can be a bug in these clothes because they aren’t mine. I took them
from a dryer in the laundromat.”
He hesitated for only a second. “I want everything.”
Deciding not to argue with him, I removed my t-shirt and
threw it at him. He caught it to his chest and I swear I saw the tiniest curve
of his mouth showing amusement at my irritation. He examined my clothes
thoroughly, finding nothing, as I’d expected. Then he turned those dark eyes on
me, running his gaze up and down my body, missing nothing.
“Everything,” he demanded. “Or did you borrow your
underwear, too?”
No, the underwear I had on were mine. An expensive, sexy,
thong and bra set Dane had purchased for me from Victoria’s Secret. The way
Hawk’s gaze moved over me turned me on when it shouldn’t have. I was no stick
figure, my short height gave me curves I’d spent half my adult life hiding,
until I’d realized that some men liked meat on their women. The coffee eyes on
me now revealed that Hawk was no exception.
I swung around and reached up to unhook my bra, hearing
Hawk’s hiss. Tossing the bra to him, I waited, unsure if I would be able to
remove my thong. This was silly because my backside was completely naked to him
in that moment. I pulled it down, catching another hiss from Hawk when I bent
slightly to work it over my knees and down my legs. I tossed it over my
shoulder in his direction. Completely nude, I reached for the top sheet on the
bed before facing him again.
“Satisfied?” I nearly swallowed my tongue when I saw that he
had my thong in his hands. There was no way a bug could be hidden in that tiny,
see-through thing.
Hawk’s expression was savage. Something strong and basic
controlled him. He reminded me of a bronze statue, solid and powerfully
intimidating. I was a prisoner, held captive by the intensity in his eyes.
Slowly his hand moved upward to his face, pausing right beneath his nose. His
nostrils flared and his eyes closed as he crushed the bunched thong and inhaled
deeply.
Ohmygod, I’d never seen anything so compelling, so erotic.
Lust slammed through me, flushing heat over my whole body. I held my breath and
watched as his eyes opened slowly, lazily, revealing the truth. He was as
turned-on as I was. No, scratch that—he was ravenous!
“Toss me your shoes.”
What? Was I reading him all wrong, seeing something I only
wanted to see? But then everything I’d learned during my short acquaintance
with Hawk came back to the surface, reminding me that he ignored his emotions
and his body’s cravings. I didn’t think that he was afraid of letting go, he
didn’t strike me as a weak man, but as someone who thrived on absolute total
control. That made him very dangerous.
I grabbed my Valentino sneakers and tossed them to him. He
caught them with one hand. He examined them thoroughly, frowning when he came
to the pyramid studs decorating the side. One of them appeared to be loose and
with little effort he was able to remove it. He held it up for me to see but I
had no idea what he wanted me to acknowledge.
“It’s decoration.”
He shook his head. “It’s GPS.”
