Down & Dirty: Dex (Dirty Angels MC Book 8) Page 22

Z pushed to his feet, picking Zeke up as he did so. He shoved the baby at a surprised Bella and the two brothers stalked off.

  “Oh shit,” Bella muttered as Baby Z clung to her, watching his father walk quickly away.

  Dex snorted and shook his head. “If they’re together, sure it ain’t the first time.”

  “If they’re together,” Bella repeated, “Linc’s playing with fire since Jayde’s father is a cop who doesn’t want his daughter with a biker, her brother is a cop and her other brother is his president. It’d be best if he set his sights elsewhere.”

  “A-fuckin’-men,” Dex muttered.

  “Well, if they are together, I hope they found a good hiding spot,” Brooke added. “Because it might be awkward for both of them if her two pissed off brothers came busting through the door when Linc’s pants are down.”

  Dex snorted. “Awkward ain’t the word.”

  Bella sat down with a sigh, settling Baby Z in her lap. Crow joined them a moment later, stopping directly in front of Brooke.

  When he held out a hand and asked with his honey-smooth voice, “Wanna dance?” Brooke’s ovaries finally exploded.

  She was beginning to push to her feet when Dex’s fingers wrapped around her arm and pulled her back down in her seat. “She’s good, brother.”

  Brooke pursed her lips as she studied Dex. “Says who? I would love to dance and since I asked you twice earlier and you refused both times, I’m going to go dance with Crow.”

  Dex ignored her, his eyes pinned on Crow. “She’s good, brother. Maybe Bella wants to dance.”

  Bella gave Brooke a knowing look then smiled at Crow. “I’d love that. I’ll need to drop Baby Z off with Sophie first.”

  “She can dance with Crow after I do.” Brooke arched a brow at Dex. “Unless you’ve changed your mind about taking me out onto the dance floor? Because if so, let’s go.”

  Dex stared at his woman. She must have forgotten where they were. And worse, he knew Crow was standing there smirking, enjoying the fact his ol’ lady was making demands on him. Dex couldn’t wait until the day Crow was dealing with the same shit he was.

  Because that day was coming for him, whether the brother knew it or not. One by fucking one they’d all been falling like dominoes. And he doubted any of his brothers would escape their thirties unscathed.

  Including smooth-talking, more-than-helpful, you-can-lean-on-me Crow. He always seemed to be there when the women needed their ruffled feathers smoothed.

  But no fucking way was he letting Brooke dance with him. Fuck that.

  He glanced up at Crow. “Think this shit’s funny?” He stood up and pulled Brooke up with him. “Let’s fuckin’ go,” he told her, tugging her away from the table.

  “Where are we going?”

  “To dance. Since you just pulled that little bullshit back there. You’re outta your fuckin’ mind if you think I’m allowin’ Crow rub against you.”

  She made a noise, but he ignored it and kept pulling her along until they reached the center of the tent. He turned toward her and when he looked down into her face she was laughing.

  “Think that was funny?” ‘Cause he didn’t fucking think any of that was funny.

  “Your jealousy is unwarranted.”

  “Ain’t jealous,” he muttered.

  Brooke rolled her eyes at him.

  “Woman,” he warned.

  “Did you just woman me?”

  Dex ignored her annoyance and pulled her into his arms, which, luckily, she didn’t cause a scene about. He wrapped his arms around her waist and planted his hands firmly on her sweet fucking ass in that even sweeter sexy dress she was wearing.

  Aaaaaand now he had a half chub.

  He had no fucking clue how to dance, so he just shifted his weight from one foot to the other while standing in place, hoping that would be acceptable.

  No, fuck that, it would have to be acceptable.

  “You didn’t have to pull that macho bullshit with Crow,” she stated, as she pressed her cheek to his and linked her hands behind his neck. Her hips moved back and forth against him, turning his half chub quickly into a full hard-on.

  It didn’t take much for her to turn him the fuck on. Which made him take a mental inventory of which rooms were left in their house they hadn’t christened yet. His goal was to christen them all at least once. She had bought a pretty big fucking house, even against his wishes. But the one she wanted had an addition on it so large that she had turned it into her office space. She said once her interior design company outgrew that, she’d get an office closer to the city.

  Knowing his woman, he had a feeling she’d outgrow it pretty damn quickly.

  But that wasn’t the problem he needed to deal with right now.

  “Babe, told you this. It’s one thing when you’re fuckin’ bossy in the bedroom. It’s another when you’re fuckin’ bossy outside of it. Gotta let me be your ol’ man, for fuck’s sake.”

  She pulled back a little to stare up at him with narrowed blue eyes. However, her doing that pressed her heat against his already aching dick even more.

  “What does that mean, let you be my ol’ man? Does that mean you get to treat me like D does Jewel? Because that’s never going to happen.”

  Dex sighed and with a jerk to her hips, pulled her tight against him again. She felt so damn good. They might have to duck out early. Or at least find somewhere to hide so she could suck him off quick-like.

  “Look,” he began, but before he could continue, she pressed her mouth to his. Her tongue slipped between his lips and drew a groan from him. His fingers flexed harder into the soft curves of her ass.

  After a minute, she pulled away enough so he could say, “Already sufferin’ here babe, that didn’t help.”

  “I can tell.” She smiled and then ran the tip of her tongue across his bottom lip before nipping it hard. Shoving her fingers into the hair at the back of his head, she pulled it enough so he could feel the sting on his scalp, but not obvious enough where anyone else would notice.

  Fuck, that made his dick twitch hard in his jeans.

  “How about I let you be my ol’ man when we’re at church, around your brothers and family, but when it comes to our bedroom and my business, I’m in charge.”

  I’ll let you be my ol’ man.

  He snorted. But in reality, there was no point in fighting it so he gave her an answering, “Yeah.” Plus, he liked that arrangement. He fucking liked it a lot.

  “Yeah?” she echoed.

  “Yeah, babe.” He slipped his hand between them and grabbed his dick through his jeans. Her talk of being in charge in the bedroom was stoking his fire even hotter. “You in the mood to be in charge right now?”

  Her eyes sparkled with excitement. “What do you want me to do to you?”

  Well, that was an easy answer. “Love me as much as I love you.”

  She smiled. “You have that. What else?”

  He pressed his lips to her ear and whispered. When he was done, she pulled back and stared at him. After a second, her wide eyes narrowed and a smile spread across her face. “I can do that.”

  “Know it, babe. Let’s go home.”

  Down & Dirty: Linc

  Normally I include the first chapter of the next book in the Down & Dirty: Dirty Angels MC series, which would be Linc’s book.

  HOWEVER, because there are spoilers in the first line of the book, I decided not to include it because I didn’t want to spoil that book for anyone. Linc’s book will be released Jan. 5th 2019. On the next page I did include a little taste…

  Sneak peak of Down & Dirty: Linc

  Linc’s gaze slid to Jayde and he realized she was eyeballing him. Hard. With narrowed eyes.

  Fuck.

  He tried to swallow the lump in his throat, but it was determined to stick right where it had landed.

  Suddenly, all the trepidation he’d been feelin
g about this meeting, all the dread that had twisted his gut for days, sluiced off him like a cold shower. He shook himself mentally to rid himself of any remaining doubt.

  Fuck. This. Shit.

  He placed his beer bottle on the floor next to the stool and jumped to his feet. With three long strides, he was at the couch, grabbing Jayde’s arm and pulling her from it.

  “What—” she squeaked in surprise.

  Axel jumped up from the couch, his hand landing on his holster.

  Z’s stool fell backwards with a clatter as he stood quickly. “What the fuck!”

  Linc lifted a palm. “Just need to talk to Jayde. Alone.” Then he began to drag her across the room and toward the door.

  “No. I’ve got nothing to say to—”

  “We’re talking and doin’ it right fuckin’ now. And not in front of your fuckin’ family. No one else’s making decisions for us. No one knows what’s fuckin’ best for us but us. Got me?”

  Her mouth dropped open and he didn’t wait for her to respond. He yanked open the door and pulled her through it.

  “You can talk down in the bakery!” Sophie yelled. “We’ll make sure the boys stay up here and leave you two alone.”

  With a grunt, Linc slammed the door shut and pointed down the steps. “Go. Now.”

  “But—”

  “No lip, woman. Fuckin’ go downstairs. Go!”

  With a frown and pursed lips, she made her way carefully down the stairs, through the bakery’s kitchen and out into the dark shop. He followed closely behind, picking up whiffs of her scent as she moved. Something sweet and light.

  She started to reach for something on the wall, but he stopped her. He grabbed her wrist and spun her around, slamming her into his chest. He moved her back until she was pinned against the wall and then he dropped his head until his lips were right above hers.

  “You listen to me, woman, and you listen good…”
