Stripped Back (Reaper MC #1)

ANGEL

Ink was tense. It wasn't from our little bitch fight earlier.

If it even was one. It was the tension from the attack. He was on edge. Wanting us to be under his wing asap.

He stood outside on the porch watching the movement on the street which was nothing given Kel lived on the other side of town the club was on.

I gave Kel run down on what was going on and quickly shoved Lila's clothes in her bag before chucking it out the front door for Ink to put in the car. While Kelly rounded up her Lila's toys and did the same.

Noah was shortly joined by a prospect called Twitch who arrived to be a 2nd escort back to club house.

Walking into Lilas room she was sprawled out on her bed with her blankets in a heap half on the floor.
Typical. Sleeping like a plane crash victim.

A small smile crossed my mouth at her peacefulness.
Completely unfazed and at peace kids had that quality. They didnt know how harsh adult life was.

She barely grumbled as I scooped her up and took her out to the car strapping her in with no protest. It was already past midnight so I doubted she would wake up on the journey she had gotten used to it on the long drive back into Ashford.

I tugged my jacket tighter as Ink approached nodding at the Prospect who turned to mount his bike next to him. 

"Twitch will ride behind us watching for any tails. Just normally. It's about a 15 min drive from here okay. You got all you need?" He said all too calmly.

Nodding I looked at Kels watching me from the porch as she gave me a quick  wave and air kiss. "She'll be okay, Angel. We are gonna get prospects to check in on 'em okay?" Ink said clearly picking up on my worry.

I looked at him studying his gorgeous face. His black nose ring caught the light I remember him getting it when we turned 15. I was weary at first but it looked hot on him.

He was almost so hot it hurt. My eyes drifted down to his luscious lips surrounded by his full beard. Wild fire lit from with in as the second slowed.

It had been 5 years since he'd kissed me and I almost burnt from the thought of him doing it again.
This man turned me on like nobodies business.

I shifted awkwardly as a lump rose in my throat. Daydreaming of him grabbing me and dragging me into a long sensual kiss again as my hands retraced his body and his touch sending volts through my skin.

"Angel?"

"Huh? S-sorry what?" I muttered internally slapping myself.

Get a grip.

Was it possible to die from sexual frustration. Probably.

Ink smirked "Time to go, love"

"Ugh yea okay" before I scurried past him hoping in the car and slamming the door. I winced remembering Lila peacefully sleeping in the back. Giving her the once over before I heard the bikes roar to life and I turned my own car on.
Noah turned to look over his shoulder with his brows pinched when the car puttered to life with a unhealthy squeal as we rolled out onto the quiet street.

The journey went off without a hitch and I pulled up the car behind the clubhouse looking out on the row of pristine Harley Davidsons parked up the front, more then a new showroom would have. Few members sat around drinking and laughing with some Club Bunnies floating around
