Wet Leather: Adults Only Motorcycle Club Romance: Roadrunners MC Read online

  “I know, but…”

  Tori wasn’t sure how to go on with the comment she started and in the end didn’t need to when Patch spoke.

  “Look, I get that you’ve been through a rough couple of days and probably a lot more than that from what you tell me about your boyfriend,” he said. “I’m not going to make things any worse for you, so you can stay at my apartment for the moment.”

  A rough couple of days came across as the understatement of the century as far as Tori was concerned. She’d gone all the way with a suicide attempt only to be pulled away from death’s door by the man sitting opposite. Her life couldn’t have been any worse at the point she tried to end it, but she again felt the slight sense of optimism that Patch was helping her.

  “Thanks,” she told him.

  “If you want me to tell you any more than that, then you’re shit out of luck,” he went on. “A couple of days ago I was going about my life quite happily and then you decided to pop some pills beside my dumpster. Now I find myself looking after a stray and I don’t have the slightest idea what will happen.”

  “I’m not a stray,” Tori said.

  “Then go home,” Patch responded.

  “Very funny,” she said.

  “Just drink your beer and be quiet,” he told her. “Or I’ll get on my bike and leave you here.”

  She rolled her eyes and settled down in her seat as she sipped from the bottle. The silence was actually comfortable and for the first time in as long as she could remember, she was enjoying being in the company of a man. Patch only spoke when he finished his beer.

  “We should get going,” he said.

  Tori nodded her head as she drank the last of her beer then got to her feet to follow him out of the bar. It felt good to cuddle up close when she got on the motorbike and wrapped her arms around him. She kept her face pressed to his leather jacket as they raced along the highway, but the speed slowed when they got to city streets. The evening rush hour was underway and the darkness descended to surround them on the last few miles of the journey.

  Patch eventually brought his bike to a stop at the front of the lockup garage and they got off. Tori watched as he went about the task of storing the vehicle inside, and the prickling sensation that she was under observation came over her when he was rolling down the door to lock it again. Her eyes narrowed when she turned and saw the figure approaching out of the darkness and there was no stopping the eruption of raw terror when she saw who it was.

  “Matt,” she let out in a loud voice.

  “Didn’t expect to see me, did you?” he replied in a low, menacing voice and an ugly sneer flashed across his face.

  He continued moving forward and the jittery panic of seeing him was unstoppable. Her legs shook as she stepped away until she bumped into the man behind her. Matt suddenly stopped and his eyes narrowed.

  “What are you doing with my fucking girlfriend?” he growled.

  “She doesn’t want to be with you,” Patch replied in a voice that seemed unnaturally calm considering the circumstances. “So do yourself a favor and…”

  “Fuck you,” Matt barked. “She’s my girlfriend and she’s coming home with me.”

  “I think she can make up her own mind where she’s going,” Patch replied.

  Tori recognized the swell of anger that flashed across Matt’s face and she gripped Patch’s arm. They were in a dangerous situation and she was frightened that things were about to get seriously out of hand.

  “Just go, Matt,” she pleaded. “Please.”

  “Oh… so you prefer opening your legs wide for a Roadrunner, you whore,” he shouted in a high pitched whine.

  Tori couldn’t keep the astonished look from crossing her face upon hearing that her ex-boyfriend already knew she was with a Roadrunner gang member. Matt saw her expression and let out a grunt of harsh laughter.

  “What?” he snarled and the sneer returned to his face. “You think I can’t find out about you? Whatever you do, wherever you go and whoever you’re with, I’ll know. You’re fucking mine, so you might as well just accept it and tell this worthless piece of shit to fuck off.”

  Tori shook her head.

  “We’re never going to be together again,” she said quietly. “It’s over between us. You made sure of that the other night.”

  “It is not over!” Matt screamed. “You’re fucking mine.”

  He lunged forward towards her, but Patch pushed her aside and Matt didn’t even see the shove coming. It connected with his chest and sent him reeling away.

  “You heard what she said,” Patch said in a low growl. “Now just fuck off before things get worse for you.”

  The manic laugh that Matt let out was scarier than anything he’d done up to that moment, and Tori could barely believe it was the man she first met at college.

  “You think I’m scared of you?” he yelled and his voice became even higher pitched. “You’re fucking nothing, you hear me? Nothing and that goes for your shit Roadrunners gang.”

  “Yeah, yeah,” Patch let out in a voice that was still calm. “Whatever you say. Now fuck off.”

  He reached out to take Tori’s hand. The sight of that plus the dismissive nature of the comments aimed at him made Matt reach to the belt under his jacket. His curse came out when he remembered he didn’t pick up his handgun in the hurry of leaving home that morning. There was no other option, so he launched himself forward to a full out attack.

  “NO!” Tori screamed, but she was pushed aside again to get her out of the way.

  Patch anticipated the lunge from a bigger opponent and stepped aside to swing a punch. It caught Matt in the guts to double him up and he let out a rush of gasping air as his momentum carried him forward to make him drop to his knees. He tried to scramble to his feet, but was too slow and a powerful kick hit his lower back to send him tumbling face down on the ground.

  “Just fucking stay there,” Patch warned.

  It was a waste of his breath and he saw Tori’s ex-boyfriend trying to get up. Matt got as far as his knees before the devastating blow of Patch’s clenched fist connected with the side of his jaw to send him crashing to the ground. A trickle of blood ran from the corner of his mouth as he lay in a dazed state, and it was obvious straight away that he wasn’t going to get to his feet now.

  “Come on,” Patch said to Tori.

  She glanced down at Matt, but didn’t have a shred of sympathy for him. He’d found out that taking on a trained army veteran wasn’t as easy as hitting a girl and got exactly what he deserved. It was a beating rather than a fight and involved no more than a few seconds of brutal action. She took Patch’s hand as they hurried across to the door of the building.

  “You’ll be fucking sorry,” a high pitched voice whined.

  Tori glanced over her shoulder just before she walked inside the apartment building and caught sight of Matt sitting up and shaking his head, as if he was trying to clear the fuzziness from it. She hoped it was the last she ever saw of her ex-boyfriend, but couldn’t bring herself to believe it would be. The madness in his eyes was frightening and the manic laugh he’d let out during the fight was a sign of him becoming unhinged. She hoped she was wrong and that he would learn his lesson to leave her alone, but a depression came over her as she was led up the stairs to the apartment.

  “I don’t think he’ll stop,” she said in a hushed voice when they were inside.

  “Well, putting him down was all I could really do,” Patch commented. “I don’t exactly want to find myself running from a murder rap because of your psycho ex-boyfriend.”

  “Sorry,” Tori let out.

  “It’s not your fault,” he said.

  She saw the grimace on his face when he shook his hand and guessed he hurt it with the punches he threw.

  “Come in the kitchen,” she said.

  “I’m fine,” he replied.

  “Please,” Tori went on.

  He nodded his head and followed as she walked in the kitchen. She found
a cloth and went to run it under some cold water then moved across to where he was sitting on a chair at the table. Dropping to her knees at the side of him, she reached for his hand and saw the redness on his knuckles when she lifted it.

  “Is it sore?” she asked.

  “I’ll live,” he answered.

  She saw him wince as she pressed the wet cloth on his reddened skin.

  “That was some punch,” she commented.

  “My army training didn’t just teach me about healing people,” Patch replied.

  “Well, they did a good job,” Tori replied.

  “He’s all mouth,” Patch said. “I’d guess that bullying and hitting women gave him the confidence to think he can fight, but it was fairly obvious he couldn’t. You don’t run at somebody in a blind rage the way he did. It’s just setting yourself up to be knocked down.”

  “You certainly did that,” she said. “Thanks for protecting me.”

  Patch nodded his head as she glanced up although he said nothing in reply. Tori moved to the sink to wet the cloth in cold water before dropping to her knees beside him to tend to his hand again.

  “How do you think he found out where I was?” she asked.

  “Good question,” Patch replied. “But I really have no idea.”

  “What do we do now?”

  “Nothing,” Patch said. “Hopefully he’s smart enough to stay away after the beating he just received.”

  “But…” Tori started.

  “Look, I’m not having some weak-ass lowlife like him dictate how I live my life,” he interrupted before she could get her words out.

  “I understand that,” she said and looked up at him.

  They suddenly couldn’t ignore the tension of the moment as they stared at each other. The huge rush of adrenaline brought on by the encounter with Matt was dying away, but it was something else that was making their pulses quicken now.

  “Those jeans do look good on you,” Patch said after a few seconds.

  Tori glanced down to see the way the bare skin of her thigh was showing through the distressing in the denim material and looked up to see Patch’s gaze on her legs.

  “You’ve seen more than that already,” she said with a grin.

  “It’s not quite the same when the girl is unconscious,” he teased her.

  The slight levity of the comment disappeared in an instant as their eyes met again. It was Tori that led the way as she leaned closer and brushed her lips softly on Patch’s. The touch was electric and they were both aware of it as the kiss became more passionate.

  Tori let out a soft gasp when it ended; she wanted the man she was looking at. It was insane considering the situation they were in, but the overwhelming urge to be with him was all she could think about. She leaned in to press her lips on his and was all too aware of the hungry way he kissed her. When it ended, he grabbed her wrist as he got to his feet and it brought her up too. Their bodies came together in an embrace and suddenly they were lost to what they were doing.

  His arms came around her body to hold her tightly and they were unable to keep their lips apart as they were taken by the arousal. Tori wrapped her arms around Patch’s neck to hold him in the kiss and was aware of the effect it was already having on him. There was no doubt it was bringing his erection to life, and she could feel his swelling length pressing on her belly.

  “The bedroom,” he said when they moved apart.

  Tori nodded her head and liked the urgent way he grabbed her wrist to take her from the kitchen then lead her along to the bedroom. She was backed up against the door after it slammed shut and their eyes met as his fingertips trailed across her cheek.

  “Are you sure you want to do this?” he asked.

  The moment of tenderness was sweet, but Tori was more certain than she’d ever been in her life. The anticipation of what was about to happen was engulfing her in a rush of hot arousal already, and it made her voice breathless when she spoke.

  “Yes, I’m sure.”

  Her hand found the bulge of Patch’s erection and she slid her fingertips along his obviously swelling manhood as he leaned in. It trapped her palm in place when their bodies came together and she closed her eyes as their lips met. She could make out the pulsing of hot blood as it stiffened his cock more and knew she wasn’t the only one succumbing to the thrill of the encounter. His tongue darted in and out of her mouth as the kiss continued, and she stayed where she was against the door even after it ended.

  Patch’s fingertips grazed across the distressing of her jeans and the touch on her bare skin made her shiver. She glanced down to watch and a smirk spread across her face when she glanced up at him.

  “Starting to like the jeans, huh?” she teased him.

  “Well, I did buy them,” he shot back. “Doesn’t that make them mine?”

  “I guess so,” Tori said and let out a quiet laugh before giving voice to her thoughts. “Are you going to take them away from me?”

  She squealed when he seized her arm, but wasn’t about to resist as she was led over to the bed and shoved down on it.

  “Show me the muscles,” she told him and laughed.

  “You saw them last night,” he said with a grin.

  “I know,” she replied. “It’s why I want to see them now.”

  She scrambled all the way onto the bed as Patch grabbed the bottom of his t-shirt to haul it up. It put his lean, wiry body on display and he threw the t-shirt across the room towards the wardrobe once he’d taken it off. Tori’s gaze roamed over his taut muscles and a heat blossomed between her thighs that made her shiver more.

  “Now the jeans,” Patch told her.

  She pressed her head in the pillows as she lifted her butt up from the mattress then loosened the buttons at her crotch. Patch got on the bed to help and in seconds the denim was being dragged down her legs. It ended with the jeans being taken from her and dropped at the side of the bed. Her breathing grew ragged as the man she wanted so badly got over her on all fours so that he was looking down at her. She lifted her hands to tease her fingertips on his naked skin then pressed her palms on the solid muscles of his chest as he leaned down.

  His lips caressed her cheek and she closed her eyes as the touch slid down to her neck. The tingling sensation made her squirm as the sensual attention of soft kisses lit up her desire even more. She was still wearing her top, so when Patch lifted his head and grinned she knew what he was about to do. Her hand came away from his chest as he moved position so that his head was now over her waist. The muscles of her legs stiffened when he leaned down to kiss on her thighs before she started to shake.

  “Oh fuck,” she let out under her breath as his lips crept higher.

  The foreplay was better than anything she’d experienced before, and the eruption of burning heat grew stronger between her thighs as her enjoyment of the touches grew. She was breathing heavily and squirming even more when a firm grasp on her legs dragged them apart. Patch’s tongue teased from naked skin to wet material as he licked on to her panties, and the silky caresses sliding along the outline of her pussy lips made Tori buck up. The tensing of her muscles left her body arched and she couldn’t hold in the groan of delight as the touch between her thighs became rougher.

  Patch let out gasping breaths as he eagerly worked his tongue across the soaked material to get more of the sweet taste and his erection strained at the front of his jeans. He wanted more and the chance was there because Tori’s hips were still raised up. It allowed him to grip the waistband of her panties to ease them down, and her groans got louder when she realized she was being exposed.

  His gaze went to the pretty sight of her glistening pussy lips, but he concentrated on getting her panties off before ducking his head between her thighs. He was able to open her up now and his tongue plunged between slick folds of skin as he went after more of her taste. Tori wriggled around as the rush of pleasure grew stronger, and she spread her legs wider still as Patch’s head pushed right between her thighs.
r />   “So good,” she let out in a gasping voice as she reached down to touch his hair.

  He heard her words turn to a squeal when he forced his tongue deeper inside her and lashed it around. His lips stuck to her slick skin as he licked roughly on her pussy walls then let her enjoy the penetration of his tongue darting in and out. Her curse was loud when the touch withdrew, but the hot pleasure continued as he nuzzled his mouth on her drenched sex and used his fingers to expose her clitoris.

  Tori cried out as the gentle touch of fingertips brushing across her sensitive bud grew firmer and her buttocks clenched tightly to lift her ass up from the mattress. Her body was being set alight by the teasing action and she wanted more. She got it when Patch worked his tongue to her clit and her butt muscles pulsed and clenched as his licking gradually grew firmer. His fingers slid around her pussy entrance and she knew what was coming, but it still didn’t prepare her for the pure delight of the stiff penetration.
