Twisted Pieces (Back Down Devil MC #5)(29)

“Do you think Mr. Strokner would be working with other clubs?”

“I don’t f*cking know,” Jace said. “My head is scrambled.”

Jordyn was now standing in front of Jace. She slowly reached out and put her hands to his shoulders. “I’ve lost so much, Jace. I’m tired of it. I couldn’t control my parents’ death… but I can try to control this.”

Jace reached out and touched Jordyn’s hips. He gritted his teeth and shook his head. He couldn’t believe where all this was going. How intense Jordyn was making things already. Her sweet body… the taste of her skin…

“I don’t want to lose you because of some stupid decision,” Jace said. “What if Strokner gets drunk and angry and hits you again. I’ll lose my damn mind.”

“Why? Why does it matter? If you’re going to let me down and hurt me… if you’re going to send me packing when this is done…”

“Because I lost my f*cking parents, too,” Jace said. He squeezed at Jordyn’s hips. “I know what it’s like. Mine were shot and killed in a botched burglary attempt at our home. I had no one after that. You had someone to pull you back in and help make things as good as they could be. I didn’t. When my parents were gone, I jumped over the line and never looked back. My life and legacy is this club. My ride. My ability to fight, to kill, to survive. That’s what I leave behind. But you deserve more, Jordyn. You shouldn’t be in all this.”

Jace couldn’t believe he had just blurted that out. He slowly looked up at Jordyn as she looked down at him. He never thought in a million years he’d confess that to a woman.

“I don’t have anything or anyone either,” Jordyn whispered.

“You said your grandmother…”

“She’s dying, Jace. She has cancer. She’s in a hospital waiting to go. All she ever wanted was for me to have a good job and life that I could be proud of. One that would have made my parents proud. She wanted me to be happy.”

“And instead you’re in the bedroom of a murderer biker,” Jace said. “I don’t think that’s what she had in mind, do you?”

Jordyn ran a hand through Jace’s hair. “I don’t know, Jace. But right now, she thinks I have a great job. I’m okay with that. The only other thing she wanted was for me to have a good man.”

“I’m not a good man. Don’t even put that shit in your mind.”

“Then what are you, Jace?”

Jace gently lifted Jordyn’s shirt and exposed her bare stomach. He leaned forward and gently kissed her stomach. “I’m an outlaw, Jordyn. I don’t follow any rules except the ones that are made by the sound of a gavel.” Jace kissed Jordyn’s stomach again. His hand started to slip into her jeans, pulling them down as much as he could without unbuttoning them. “I’m a fantasy, babe. A wild, dark fantasy. But I keep my promises. So if you’re going to put yourself in danger, I’m going to protect you. And that starts and ends with you right here, in my bed with me.” Jace looked up and saw the flushed look on Jordyn’s face. “Understand me?”

“Yes,” Jordyn whispered.

Jace flicked his thumb and unbuttoned Jordyn’s jeans. He pulled them down just above her knees and left them there. She tried to open her legs as much as she could. For a second, Jace was a little disappointed that Jordyn was wearing panties right now. But since she was wearing them, he would have a little fun and test her boundaries a little.

He grabbed her ass with one hand while his fingers on his other hand entered her pants. He placed his hand at the front of her panties and with his thumb, he pressed against her. When his thumb curled, he felt the warmth of her * burning through. Jace applied more pressure and felt Jordyn jump. When he kissed her stomach again, he offered his tongue and Jordyn dug her hands into his hair. He kissed her lower stomach, slicing into her pants with the tip of his tongue as though it were a razor. His thumb rubbed in circles and Jace felt Jordyn’s ass tightening against his hand. He slowly kissed up and looked at her. Her head was back and she was starting to breathe uncontrollably.

No f*cking way…

Jace didn’t believe that Jordyn was really getting ready to come. He moved his hand from her ass to her hip. Suddenly, Jace let all the thoughts race back to him. What happened with Strokner and Jordyn. That prick from Coast Road trying to take him out. Miller and Gaige jumping at the idea of Jordyn pleasing Strokner for more information.

Jace growled and pressed his thumb even harder. He moved left to right and even through Jordyn’s panties, he could feel the nub of her swollen clit. It turned Jace on even more. Jordyn pulled at his hair and started to thrust her hips at him. Her breathing grew even more erratic. Jordyn moved to her toes and that’s when she started to come. Her entire body shook with pleasuring fury. Jace took his hand from her * and pulled her close. He kissed her lower stomach once and then turned his head.

Don’t f*cking hug her like this…

But it was too late.

Jace hugged Jordyn, feeling her stomach as she was breathing like crazy. Her hands loosened up on his hair and she started to hold him against her body.

“Thank you for telling me,” she whispered. “I want to know more, Jace. About you. About everything.”

“This is not the life you want,” Jace said. “Especially with me. I’m no good.”
