Crash and Burn (Back Down Devil MC #2)(24)

Avery realized then that there was no escape from everything happening around her. That meant no escaping this big chunk of muscle protecting her. That meant no escaping Landon. And it meant no escaping Bry.

Someone was going to end up dead in all this. It wasn’t a matter of if someone was going to die, it was a matter of who and when.

Avery got into the black car and stared out the window.

She felt protected, but she felt alone again.





twelve.



Landon wasn’t in the mood to deal with anymore bullshit for the day. He wanted to drink the afternoon away and gear up for the fights. He’d feel better pounding on some *’s face for a little while, winning the cash to pay for Jonesy, and helping the MC track down the people who tried to kill Shay and ended up hurting Erik.

It still left Avery. Landon needed to deal with her on his own. But not today. Nothing would make sense to her. Why he gave her more money to get clothes and why he paid for someone to protect her to get those clothes.

Landon was halfway done with a beer when Blaine emerged from the back of the clubhouse. He saw Landon and clapped his hands together.

“Don’t f*ck with me,” Landon warned.

Blaine slithered onto a barstool and ordered a shot. He downed it and smiled. “It’s time, bro. Right now.”

“Time for what?”

“Our deal. Right now. She’s in my room.”

“She…?” Then it came back to Landon. “The deal.”

“That’s right. She wants us man. Come on.”

Landon stared at Blaine. He shook his head. “Blaine…”

“Bro. I told you how it works. You take her *. It’s tight and sweet, just what you need before the fights tonight.”

“And you’re going to the other hole,” Landon said. “With our… stuff so close…”

“Who gives a f*ck? We do this for her and she’ll do anything for me and to me. I need this. I’ve been eyeing this for a while.”

“There is so much happening right now,” Landon said.

“And we both need this. They’re called relievers for a f*cking reason, man.”

Landon looked back to the clubhouse door. He thought of Avery. His heart tore a little as he stood from the barstool. Landon had never been loyal to anything besides the MC. Why start now? Avery was just some chick passing through town. She had a rough gig up north and Landon thought she had something to do with the bombing. Which meant nothing else mattered. If anything, Landon should have arranged for her to be taken away and hidden somewhere until she could figure out how to survive on her own.

“Let’s go,” Landon said. “Right now. One chance at this.”

“Fucking right, brother,” Blaine said.

“I need a f*cking shot first.”

“Order up…”

Landon took the shot and followed Blaine. He couldn't believe he was actually going to do this. But he needed it. Fuck, did he need it. Plus, Blaine did have a point - being able to release before a fight would definitely help.

And it couldn’t be Avery. If Landon f*cked Avery, there was a chance feelings would mess everything up even more.

Blaine opened his bedroom door and there stood the woman with the massive chest. Her breasts were so obviously fake, but Blaine didn’t give a shit. It didn’t do much for Landon. Blaine eased his way to the naked woman and cupped her breasts. His thumbs grazed her nipples and he put his head back and groaned.

“I’ve been f*cking waiting to touch these…”

“Let’s do this,” Landon said.

“Come here then,” the woman said.

When Landon got within striking distance, the woman grabbed between his legs. She squeezed him and smiled. Landon was hard. He was a man and there was a naked woman in front of him. Huge tits, smooth body, everything shaved.

That’s all it took.

“Where are the condoms?” Landon asked.

“Top drawer,” Blaine said.

Landon opened the drawer and took out two condoms. He kept one for himself and tossed one to Blaine. Blaine already had his pants open and was ready to drop them.

“Wait a second,” the woman said. “You can’t attack me.”

“Why the f*ck not?” Landon asked. “You want this, right?”

“You first,” the woman said and pointed to Landon. “Okay? Once you’re in… then…”

“That’s fine,” Blaine said. “That’s fine.”

Landon unhooked his belt buckle and opened his pants. He couldn’t believe he was doing this in front of Blaine. He dropped his jeans and boxers to his knees, his cock popping free.

“Damn,” Blaine said. “Nice cock, brother.”

“Fuck, man,” Landon said. “Stare at the naked woman.”

“Sorry,” Blaine said. “It’s just… wow…”

“Wow,” the woman said as she reached for Landon. She stroked him. Landon thought about Avery. Avery’s hand was smaller which meant it took her longer to stroke him. She had to work more for it and that was sexier.

Landon opened the condom wrapper and the woman moved to the bed. Once ready, Landon came to the bed, but didn’t get on it. He was not going to get into a bed with a woman and Blaine.
