Without giving me a chance to respond, he hitches my legs over his shoulders and presses his mouth between my legs.He’s hungry.Very, very hungry.Motown sucks and licks every part of my pussy.The burning ache inside me grows, ready to burst.I beg him for more, and he responds by inserting his fingers into my pussy and pumping them in and out, while he licks my clit.I grip his head, desperately needing to come.
It’s going to be huge.I feel it, and when I reach the peak of the mountain, I free-fall off the edge.It’s sublime.The feeling of floating in my orgasmic bliss is like no other.Motown continues to kiss my belly, then he licks each nipple, then kisses along my collarbone and neck.He settles us in bed, then reaches for the covers and tosses them over us.
“Tessa.”
“Mmm?”
“I’m going to get you drunk more often.Drunk sex with you is fantastic,” he murmurs in my ear.
I burst out laughing, and his soft rumble of laughter joins in.
Chapter16
No Man Left Behind
Motown
The next morning, I drive Tessa to the shop and find Ruth waiting for us.Ruth should still be in bed, seeing as she left the club and headed over to her bar for closing.She couldn’t have had more than four hours of sleep.What’s more, she’s brought her shotgun with her.
“What the hell, Ruth?”I say.
“Good morning to you too,” Ruth replies sarcastically.“Tessa needs protection.”
“That’s why I’m here.”
“Not for long.”Ruth hands me a note.“You gotta get Hawk and the others and meet this guy.”I open her note as she continues.“Guy named Demon came in last night and said to make sure you got it first thing.He has eyes on some guy named Logan.I was going to tell him that I’m not his carrier pigeon, but when he mentioned Hawk, I knew he was on the up-and-up.”
Tessa’s been quiet till now, but she asks, “What’s going on?”
“Give me a second, babe.”I read the note again.
They came for Logan in the middle of the night.I was going to step in, but he gave me the sign to hold back.I followed them.Meet me at Barney’s All-Nite Diner.Bring Hawk and Guard.
I turn to Tessa.“I have to call Hawk.I’ll see if I can get a man over to watch out for you.Things are moving faster than we thought.That could be a good thing,” I add when I see her face drop.
“I can take care of Tessa.You go,” Ruth insists.
“Ruth—”
“I got a gun.Keep the alarm in the back set.We’ll be fine,” Ruth insists.
I kiss Tessa and head out the front.I stop at my bike and make my calls, including one to Roar, asking him to get to the shop but to stay hidden unless he sees shit go south.He does me one better and says he’ll bring Tacitus along with him.Meanwhile, Guard and Hawk are en route to Barney’s.War and Drifter are coming as well.
As I get closer to Barney’s, I see War parked off the side of the road and pull up next to him.“What’s going on?”I ask.
“We’re walking the rest of the way.”War points to the old barn.“Park the bike, leave your jacket.”He hands me a lumberjack shirt, a baseball cap, and glasses.“We’re not taking the chance of having any of Bronson’s men recognizing us.”
I do as he says, and we walk the rest of the way, taking care not to draw attention to ourselves.A club brother never leaves his jacket behind unless we’re in enemy territory, and then it’s only for our own protection.This tells me something big is going down.When we get to the diner, Guard and Hawk are waiting for us.Demon is sitting with them, and they are huddled together, heads close, talking.
War and I shuffle into the tight booth.
“Let’s catch them up quick,” Guard says without a hello to start.His expression is as serious as I’ve ever seen.
“Logan is in the run-down hotel across the street,” Demon says.“He’s been there since they came for him at three thirty this morning.I was watching and was going to get him the hell out when he looked over and shook his head.He doesn’t have his phone.They must have told him to leave it behind.I’ve alerted Orion, and he’s built the profile for Logan as well as created a record for him in the police database.His cover should be solid.I’ve got no eyes on the inside, though, and no way of making sure he’s okay.”
“Orion is going to play the part of the supplier.He’s got all numbers routed to run through to his phone,” Hawk adds.
“Reno is coming down with his brother Dante and his men,” Guard says.“Risk is going to meet them.We’ve got two issues.The first is getting eyes and ears on what’s happening inside the hotel and making sure that Logan is safe.Right now, he’s hanging in the wind, and that doesn’t sit right with Hawk or me.Second, we’re not sure how far Bronson’s operation reaches, and we need to get to the feds to shut him down completely.”
