Ruthless Hold (Back Down Devil MC #9)(45)

“You need to calm down,” Miller said. “You proved your point.”

“You had every right to take that * down,” Gaige said. “Now we need to keep the peace while we work the rest of this out.”

“You see he’s f*cked up,” Trev said.

“Let me through,” Eden called out.

Miller and Gaige broke apart.

“I’m going out there,” Miller said. “No more bullshit. From anyone.” He looked at Eden. “That includes you. Don’t f*ck this up.”

Miller and Gaige walked away and Eden entered the bathroom.

She shut the door and looked at Trev. She held her hands out. “Here’s your stuff.”

“Thanks, beautiful,” Trev said. “I’m sorry that happened.”

“He scared me.”

“Nobody will ever scare you again,” Trev said. “You’re mine, okay? I want you to wear my ink.”

“What?”

“Wear my ink. So everyone knows you’re mine.”

“Are you serious?”

Trev slowly put his rings on. Then he put his leather cut back on. He grabbed Eden by the face and stared at her. “I don’t tell lies.”

“Except about my mother,” Eden said. She reached up and grabbed Trev’s hands away. She then slapped Trev across the face. “What the hell were you thinking? Why would you do that to me?”

Trev grabbed Eden and put her up on the sink. She was then almost eye level with Trev.

“Get it all out, beautiful.”

“You knew you were f*cking doing this to me. You brought me knowing she was here. You didn’t warn me. And she won’t even talk to me about it.”

“She didn’t say a word?” Trev asked.

“No. She avoided the subject. But when she touched me or looked at me…”

“I had to do it,” Trev said. “Get pissed all you want. I had to f*cking do it.”

“Why?”

“I’m trying to figure out who knows why. If Ripper knows. He’ll try to kill you if he does. Or maybe it was Jenn who sent the letter. Maybe she and Griffin still had something going for years. It’s hard to think about, okay? This puts the entire MC in jeopardy.”

“And my heart?” Eden asked. She felt her lips starting to quiver. “You don’t give a shit about that, huh?”

“You’re wrong. I care about your heart. I’m trying to protect everyone around me. That includes you. So now you know the entire story.” Trev sighed. “The whole story. Griffin, the man who is your father, was hitting another member’s old lady. Worse yet, a President’s old lady. It’s not really the worst thing a brother could do, but it’s up there. He got Jenn pregnant and somehow they spun it that it wasn’t Griffin’s. She gave up the baby, which was you, beautiful. I’m sure Ripper never wanted any kids so that made the decision easier. If you had been in Ripper’s care, think about your life. You’ve seen him now.”

Eden shuddered. She didn’t want to think about her life with that man raising her, thinking he was her father. It would have been loud, violent, and probably worse than that.

Trev touched Eden’s face again and inched in. “I had to do it like this. I had to get an idea of what really happened. When we get back to Frelen, we’re going to figure it all out. For tonight, we have to let it go and crash here. Play the part, okay?”

Eden forced herself to nod.

When Trev’s lips gently touched hers, a fire flared up inside Eden’s belly.

He started to pull away and Eden grabbed his leather cut. “No.”

“No what?” Trev asked.

“Play the part,” Eden whispered. She reached between Trev’s legs with her other hand and squeezed his cock. “Right?”

“Ah, f*ck,” Trev growled. “This ain’t playing. This is real.”

Trev’s mouth attacked hers. They kissed hard and wild. Eden hurried to open Trev’s jeans, needing to touch him. Needing to feel him inside her. He had officially become her favorite drug. What tattooing would do to calm her mind was what Trev’s dick did now. Her appetite for him was voracious. Even though she was hurt and angry, she wanted him.

As her hand wrapped around Trev’s cock, feeling him getting harder by the second, she couldn’t help but wonder if she was walking in the same shoes as her mother. Would she become some beaten up old lady? Would she look twenty years older than she was?

Trev groaned and pulled Eden from the sink. He tore open her pants and shoved them down. Then went past her knees and his hands touched the back of her legs. At her ass, he gripped her and lifted her. He put her back on the sink and reached between her legs, his fingers grazing the warmth of her slit.

Eden let out a moan. Two of Trev’s fingers were against her and then they were inside her. With a hard thrust, Trev plunged his fingers into her depth. Eden slid her hand to the head of Trev’s cock and squeezed, knowing it was his sweet spot. She then rolled her thumb back and forth over the ridge of his tip, feeling him thicken.

They stared at each other. Trev eased his fingers out of her body and up. His slick fingers touched her clit and Eden jumped.

“Yeah,” she whispered.

“You’re f*cking crazy,” Trev said. “You don’t know what you’re doing to me, Eden. Inside and out. I’m going to fill your * and your heart.” He slipped a hand to the back of her neck. “Don’t ever f*cking stop trusting me. Swear on that right now.”
