Ruthless Hold (Back Down Devil MC #9)(56)

“Has to look legit,” Trev said. “I make it look like that when Jenn showed up and I learned of who Eden was, I threw a fit. I took on Miller and Gaige and they stripped me, kicking me out. I have to sell this hard. I believe in this, guys. I’m willing to be there alone to prove this. To prove I deserve this seat. And, shit, this is my way of honoring Griffin.”

“I vote yes,” Gaige said.

“Yes,” Trev said.

“Okay,” Nate said.

“Fucking hell,” Shay said. “Aye. For the MC.”

“Yes,” Erik said.

Landon rubbed his chin. He looked at Trev. Slowly, he nodded. “Okay, yeah.”

“Fine,” Jace said. “Yes.”

Blaine was last. He pointed to Trev. “You better come back here in one piece. I am not watching your ass get tossed into a hole. You got me?”

“I’ll be back,” Trev said.

“Then I vote yes,” Blaine said.

“Okay,” Miller said. “We’re all in on this. Ripper meets the reaper.”

Miller smacked the gavel.

Everyone stood and went to Trev. They all hugged him. Patted his back. Told him he was f*cking crazy for doing this. Then they all one by one went to the clubhouse. It was just down to Trev and Miller.

“I never gave a shit about a leather cut before,” Trev said. “Then I came down here and saw the way you did things. The family thing. I get it, Miller. I’m going to protect this. But I need to know you have my back no matter what. Ripper has to die.”

Miller put a hand to Trev’s shoulder. “I know, brother. I know. Just make it right. I’ll have two charters to deal with then. But if everyone agrees with the result, then the reason won’t matter as much.”

Miller hugged Trev.

“Thank you,” Trev said.

“Let me get you a drink,” Miller said. “Before this mess starts.”

“No. I have to be with Eden.”

“You’re trading booze for *… you usually go for both.”

“I just need to be with her,” Trev said. “Just in case.”

“Okay, brother. Get the hell out of here. I’ll come for you in an hour.”

Just like that… Trev had a timeline on the rest of his life. One hour.

Trev opened the door and Jenn and Eden were sitting at the kitchen table. His eyes locked to Eden’s and didn’t move. Jenn stood up and excused herself, saying she was going to go for a walk. Trev didn’t say a word to her. He couldn’t look away from Eden. He was devouring her with his eyes.

She stood up as he closed in on her.

There wasn’t a word to be said.

Trev grabbed her, lifted her, and put her on the counter. Eden opened her legs and put her ankles to the back of his legs, tugging at him. His hands slid around and up her shirt, feeling the smooth warmth of her back. Her hands touched the scruff on his face, digging at him.

“I hate you for this,” she whispered.

“I know you do, beautiful,” Trev whispered back. “But it’s the only way we’re going to have a future.”

Trev kissed Eden. His hands continued up and he forced her shirt up over her head. His fingers twisted the back of her bra, unclasping it in a second. Just like that, she was topless. All for the taking.

Eden put her hands on the counter and leaned back, thrusting her ample chest out at Trev. His hands touched her shoulders and eased down, moving over her breasts at the same time. He squeezed and then cupped under her breasts, his thumbs moving left to right over her nipples, bringing them to an erect state in seconds. Eden started to groan, rocking her hips at him.

She wanted to be f*cked.

That was good.

Because Trev was going to leave her with one last f*ck that could last her a lifetime. Just in case.

Trev moved his hands to her back and pulled, bringing her beautiful chest to his mouth. Her breasts pressed together and he kissed the teardrop shape they made at the top of her chest. His tongue darted between her breasts and after that, he wanted to taste all of her. His mouth engulfed her left breast, sucking hard, his tongue circling around her nipple.

“Oh, Trev,” Eden purred.

Trev used one hand to open her pants. He wasn’t done tasting her just yet.

When he put two hands to her hips, Eden lifted up, allowing him to strip her down. He knew he had the chance to be slow and seductive, pants first, then panties. But there was no time. The minutes were counting down and doing so fast. He ripped her jeans and panties down and off her feet. They were discarded to the floor.

Trev grabbed her ass and slid her back on the counter more. His eyes stared at her eyes, even with her bare, glistening * staring at him. Slowly, he bent her legs and put her feet on the counter. She was still propped up, now on her elbows, her jaw dropped.

“Open,” Trev said as he touched her knees.

Eden opened her legs wide for him and he went right to work.

The sweet smell of her body hit him a moment before he tasted her. And, yes, she tasted as good as she looked.

His tongue lapped up and down, fast and thorough, wanting all of her honey to himself. He wanted to fill up and never taste anything again. Just in case.

Eden thrust herself at him, wanting more attention.

Trev brought his right hand down to her slit, rubbing two fingers against her folds, his tongue now focused on her clit. He suckled against her perfect nub as his fingers eased into her body, curling, bringing her hips to life even more.
