Cole made me cum twice in the shower before I sucked him dry. We needed to get the shit with Ryan dealt with and we couldn't do that if all we wanted to do was fuck each other.

Cole quickly got dressed, finishing with pulling his cut up over his big broad shoulders, before leaving my room. He told me he was going to wake up Ghost and call the club over and for me to "not take too long"

So, here I am, staring at my 'biker queen' outfit I got yesterday at

The Harley Davidson shop. I did my hair and makeup already.

Come on Hailey grow some balls

I decided on black skinny ripped-jeans and the bikini top with my leather jacket. I couldn't do the leather bootie shorts just yet.

Just as I was walking down the hallway I heard the familiar sound of Harley's coming down the street. I could hear Drew, Ghost and Cole talking in the kitchen.

When I walked in they all stopped talking, Ghost and Drew looked at Cole, who's eyes were popped out of his head, with a clenched jaw.

"Morning" I sang out trying to not notice the six eyeballs taking in my body as I poured my coffee.

I put the clothes on expecting to get looks but I was only trying to keep Coles eyes on me, not everyone else's.

Lana opened the door to let the rest of the club in and everyone piled into the wide open living room of the great room area.

Cole was right by my side protectively the whole time. I went to sit in the wingback chair but he held me back, sat down and pulled me on his lap, keeping his arms tight around me. Almost like he was scared someone was going to take me from him. It made my heart skip and I rested my arm over his shoulder around his back.

"Alright listen up. Hailey needs protection from the club from some ex mother fucker who thinks she is still his. She is not" he growled

"He's some punk dealer who thinks he's the shit. I had Jack run him, he's got some misdemeanors and a few connections, nothing the club can't handle in our sleep" Coles voice held so much authority and confidence that he made me feel safe for the first time in a long time. I felt like this time I might actually get away from Ryan for good.

As Cole continued to tell the club what his plan was, all I could think about was Cole and how crazy of a connection we have, for really only knowing each other a couple days. I'm not just talking the intense sexual connection, it's something else, something...unspoken between us.

Is it possible to know you belong with someone without knowing anything about them? It has to be because the draw to him was visceral.

"If that piece of shit mother fucker even steps a big fuckin toe in Vegas, he's going into a hole in the desert" Cole said and chills rolled down my back from the conviction in his voice.

I wrapped my arm around his shoulder a little tighter.

"It ok baby. Go get your phone"

I got up and Lana stood up from Ghosts lap and followed me.

"Holy Shit girl!! What have you done to Cole? That shotgun must have got his ass good!He can't get enough!" She exclaimed after closing to door to my room

"Lana! Shh"

"God damn that outfit is bomb. I knew you'd be a beautiful biker queen" she laughed

"Lana?" My voice questioned seriously "I really like him. How am I going to be able to watch him have other woman hanging all over him? You said he doesn't do old ladies so that just makes me-

"No Hailey, this is something different, even Ghost thinks so, but you did NOT hear that from me. Ghost said he didn't even talk to any females yesterday on the run they made. Do you see what I'm saying?"

I nodded "he told me last night he has never stayed with someone for two nights in a row" I said through my smile

Ghost called from the other room.

"Let's go back out, once they leave we will actually sit down and have a long talk about Cole and the club. Okay?" She smiled through the questioning look

I nodded "okay let me grab the phone"

There was a text from Ryan with a picture of me tied to the chair naked, beat and bloody. All it said was

"last chance to come home"

A strangled cry came from my throat "Cole!" I screamed as I ran down the hall, I heard pounding foot steps coming towards me. He had a concerned look "what happened?"

I thrust the phone towards him and he snatched it from me, the rage on his face evident after seeing what it was.

"I'm.going.to.fucking.kill.him"

His voice was deep and low with warning through his clenched teeth. I swear I heard him crack a molar.

He pulled the sim card out and snapped it, then dropped the phone and stomped on it.

"You and Lana are not staying here anymore"

he told me with arms around me

"You can stay with us out at my place. It works better anyway. I've already talked to Blake and told him you won't be working there and to clear anything that tied you to that club. Just in case Ryan's got tech to track you, which I'm assuming he does if he's found you before"

"Okay" was all I could say. I just held him shaking.

"Go get your stuff so I can get you out to my place. I have to leave and head back out on the run I was on yesterday. I'll leave some of the guys with you but I'll be back early in the morning" he placed a kiss on my head and I let him go and faced him.

"I wouldn't be upset if you had another one of those hot nighties on again when I get home. Mmm making my dick hard thinking about it" he said as he drew me to him

"This outfit definitely doesn't help the strain in my jeans baby" he said with his lips just brushing over mine

That made me laugh and I swatted him in his big bicep. "Me?! Look at you, all sexy in your leather cut, with a walk that screams I gotta big dick"

"But you know I do baby"

"Okay you two break it up or I'm gonna turn the hose on ya. Come on Hails, let's go pack up" Lana said

We both went to our own rooms and packed everything we needed. All I had was the new clothes and toiletries so that's what I took. I only grabbed a few things from the stuff I brought from Colorado.

I left my stuff on the bed and went and told Cole I was ready. A couple of the guys grabbed everything for me and took it to my Jeep while I went to see if Lana was ready. Her door was open and she stood in the middle of her beautifully decorated room with Ghost cuddling. "I love you baby" I heard him tell her.

I decided to back up and let them come out when they were ready and went to find Cole. One of the club guys was in the kitchen by the bar

"excuse me? Hi, I'm Hailey, do you know where Cole is?"

"Hey, I'm Evan, he's out front giving orders"

"Okay, well, thank you for everything you guys are doing" I told him with a smile and went off to keep looking for Cole.

He was outside with the guys who were all sitting on their bikes waiting.

"The Prospect is gonna drive your Jeep and you'll ride with me"

"Okay, I'll keep my eyes open this time" I told him taking the helmet from him and securing it before swinging me leg over the seat climbing on.

This time I got as close as I could right away and kissed his right shoulder, holding him tight.

"Hey guys" Lana called making Cole and I turn our heads towards her. She snapped a picture with her cell phone quick but didn't say anything and just put the phone in Gucci backpack.

She got on the bike with Ghost and we were off. I have come to I'm understand that Ghost and Cole ride everywhere together, the true meaning of ride or die right there in those two.

It was beautiful out, not a cloud in the sky and the warm desert air felt good on my face as we flew down the road at 70 miles an hour.

I wasn't scared this time. I sat up more straight and looked out at the mountains on the distant horizon. The only time I held him close when when I wanted to feel him close to me, not because I was scared of the ride.

Every so often his hand would drop down to caress my leg, sending tingles straight to my core. My hands ran over his stomach, then traced the deep V at his hips just under and inside the waistband of his jeans.

That got him and I felt him grow under my hand just as we turned down his drive with Lana and Ghost right behind. The rest of the club trailed in within five minutes of us.

We pulled in front of his garage. The big ranch house was off to the left of the garage, which was huge actually and was more like a workshop outbuilding.

"Watch the pipes baby, you don't know pain until you stick your leg on a hot fuckin bike pipe" he warned me this time as I get off

There were women outside all over, some of who were clearly 'old ladies' and carried themselves in a higher manner. You could tell who the whores were, mostly by the dirty looks I was getting from some of them.

I cut my eyes to them, returning their glares, holding a little tighter to Cole as we walked into the garage.

Surprisingly it had air conditioning and was very clean and organized in there.

"You want anything to drink?" Coke asked going to a big fridge and grabbing a beer.

"I think a water, I feel dehydrated, I'm not used to this heat" I said and took off the leather jacket, leaving me in the black leather bikini top and ripped black skinny jeans.

Cole scanned my tone, exposed stomach that growled obnoxiously loud.

I haven't eaten for a couple days honestly because of the nerves in my stomach because of Ryan, I just couldn't eat.

Now that I feel safe, I think my body just realized I was starving it.

He scowled and took out his phone and let his fingers fly around the keyboard and then put it back in his pocket.

"I wanted to talk to you for a minute and then we'll go in the kitchen. By the sounds of your stomach if you don't get food soon, it'll eat itself. But I won't be able to go on this run with a clear head if I don't talk with you about something" Cole said grabbing my hand, pulling me closer to him, so I was standing in between his legs. He was sitting on a work bench.

"This is...different for me. You're different. I don't really know what all that means just yet but...I've never met anyone that I wanted to spend time with or get to know, I do know that. I want to spend time with you and no one else and I don't want you to be with anyone else while we figure it out. I wanted to see what you thought about that? I saw you talking to Evan, I didn't like it" he said shaking his head

"I've never cared about stuff like that before" He eyes me cautiously

"I was asking him where you were. I was just talking to him, being nice, since the club was helping" I said in a soft voice but I held his eye contact.

"I know but...I didn't like it. That was weird for me. You don't know the lifestyle yet but we don't get jealous over women who aren't our old ladies but when I saw you..."

He gives me the best jello leg kiss yet

"Something changed"

He didn't say anything else. Didn't ask me to be his old lady but I'm happy that he wants to...what? Date? Do bikers date? Whatever he wants right now, he only wants it with me, and I definitely want it with him.

"I don't want to be with anyone else Cole. I didn't want to to like you. I didn't want to like anyone. I just wanted to run from Ryan and not die but it's the same for me now that I met you...it changed. I'm sorry that talking to Evan upset you. I won't talk to him or anyone else while we figure out... whatever this is between us" I tell him looking into his eyes so he knows I'm telling the truth.

"Hailey" his voice chastised me

"I don't care if you talk to them, I just told you that because of what it made me realize. But this..." he grabbed my ass and squeezed making me whimper "is mine"

I nodded in agreement

"These are mine" his big hands cupped my breasts as his thumbs slipped under my bikini top brushing over my harden nipples.

Again I nodded Biting my lip to hold in my moan

"This mouth is mine"

He told me as he seized my lips, kissing me hard, making me feel like the bones in my body were gone

"This is mine" he growled that time as he placed his hand on my dripping wet core that was throbbing just for him, making me jump as he grazed over my clit.

"You are mine" he told me in his most dominant voice yet

"Yessss, I'm yours and you are mine" I told him in my most dominant voice before kissing him with hunger.

And I never meant anything more than those words in my 26 years of life on this earth.
