Claiming Crusher (Savage Brothers MC #4)(30)

He doesn’t say anything in return. Instead he walks to the bed, turns the covers down and turns back around to look at me.

“Get up here on the bed, Hellcat,” he orders and his voice has that rough, gravely tone he used when he said my name in the shower… when he… God, he got himself off and mine was the name he had on his lips. That has to mean something right? Shit. What am I doing?





Chapter 12




Crusher


“Come here, Hellcat.”

“Zander, I don’t…”

“Dani? I’m not repeating myself again. Come here.” I order her. It’s probably the completely wrong way to handle her—hell, to handle this entire situation. Yet, it’s who I am and I can’t change, even for her. She’s the one. I feel it in my bones. I need her to accept me, because I’m going nowhere. I’m here for the long haul with this woman.

I watch as those big beautiful eyes fill with panic. I’m going to kill the son of a bitch who did this to her and when I do, I’m going to do it painfully and slowly. There’s a moment when I think she’s going to run screaming out of the room. Then, I see resolve flash in her eyes.

“I’d like to point out, you did in fact just repeat yourself,” she says in that sassy little tone she gets, even though fear is making her voice shake, I smile. She walks to me, looking anywhere but my face.

“You make me weak, what can I say?” I tell her and I’m not just talking about right now.

She looks down at our feet, still not looking up at me. I want this, I want her, but she’s going to have to give me certain signs.

“Strip.”

That gets her attention. She looks up at me like I’ve lost my mind. Hell, the last week of touching her, having her so close and doing nothing but sleep, I probably have.

“What?” She questions.

“Strip.”

“Zander, this is not…”

“Damn, I had you pegged wrong, Hellcat,” I tell her, hating that I have to do it this way. Sometimes you gotta do, what you gotta do.

“What does that mean?”

“I thought you had fire, Hellcat. I gotta say I’m more than a little disappointed.”

She looks at me and then, just like I knew she would, her eyes shoot fire at me. She whips my shirt over her head and throws it at me. It takes all I have not to grin. God she’s beautiful. I let the shirt fall to the ground and wait.

When I don’t give her the reaction she’s wanting, she unbuttons her pants and pushes them down her hips before kicking them at me. With her leg hurt, they barely lift off the ground. I can tell that annoys her by the way she lets out an angry snort. Her breath blows her bangs up and she’s so damn cute in that moment. Then, I take her in. She has on this sea green and black lace bra with matching panties, and is so f*cking sexy my dick is as hard as steel. At the same time, the childish look on her face makes me want to turn her over and tan her ass.

“Are you happy now?” She huffs. Damn, it’s like she’s daring me to slap that ass.

“Depends on if you have the guts to finish what we’ve started, Hellcat. It just depends,” I answer, doing my best to sound bored.

She gets on the bed. She’s got her hand draped over her breasts, trying to keep me from seeing anything, which considering she goes out half-naked most of the time, is confusing as hell and just another reason she keeps me on my toes. Dani is such a contradiction. On the surface you would think she was this badass, and then when you look closer… she’s so innocent and scared to show me her body. I’m going to do everything I can to make this good for her—to make this all about her. I’m going to have blue balls after this shit, but I need her to know that she is special. That I’m not what she thinks—not by a f*cking long shot. I climb on the bed beside her and start by wrapping my arm around her and pulling her to me so her head rests on my shoulder and I can breathe in the scent of strawberries on her hair. It soothes me. It gives me a sense of belonging. I’ve never had that in life—not even with Melly.

“Zander, I know I’ve not had good experiences with this, but I don’t think this is how you have sex.”

“Hush, Hellcat. We’ll get there.”

“You’re a very confusing man,” She mumbles.

I kiss the top of her head and let my fingers stroke her side, gently and slowly each pass up and down I get closer to the rim of her panties. I can feel the small jerks in her body with each pass and the way her body tenses up. She likes what I’m doing, but the fear is still there. It hurts me, for her. No woman should have this fear about sex. Is this why she hasn’t had an orgasm? What kind of *s has she been inviting into her bed that they haven’t made sure she was with them for the whole ride?

An image of that f*cker Beast comes to mind and I beat it down. I’m going to kick that man’s ass. It’s just a matter of time. This is his loss, if he couldn’t appreciate Dani when he had his chance, he’s even more stupid than he looks. I lean down to whisper in her ear at the same time my hand pushes down into her underwear. Her body goes tight, but she doesn’t stop me.

“Rest easy, Hellcat. I’m just going to make you feel good right now. This is all about you. I’ll do nothing you don’t want, sweetheart.”
