shut. She moved another
digit in her passage and bent her legs, keeping her feet flat on
the bed. Driving her hips up with every lunge of her hand, she
tugged on her turgid tips of her heavy orbs. She pressed down on
the small bundle of nerves, and starbursts of gold and silver
flashed before her eyes. Her orgasm ebbed through her in waves,
leaving her limbs uncoordinated. A Hallelujah chorus rang in her
ears.
She pulled her elbows beneath her and
waited. The choir started singing again, and she searched for her
clothes. It wasn’t a figment of her imagination, only her cousin,
Shay, calling since she hadn’t checked in. She spotted her jeans
thrown over a chair.
Nae swung her legs over the mattress
and stood, her limbs trembled as delicious soreness made her thigh
muscles ache. She padded over to the furniture and picked up her
pants to dig through the pockets. Contents fell to the carpet when
she grabbed the wrong end of the jeans first. She bent over to
swipe the cell up, leaving the folded papers and sat down on the
edge of a chair. After sliding her finger over the phone’s screen
she tapped Shay’s number. Engrossed in her surroundings, she never
heard the line connect.
“ Where the hell are you?”
Shay’s voice held a twinge of anxiety.
Nae took in more of the space. The
room resembled one of those pictures of a spa she saw in a
magazine. “A hotel room.”
“ You’re a bad
liar.”
“ You called all the motels
in the area didn’t you?”
“ I did. Now where the fuck
are you, or do I need to catch a flight up there?”
Nae sighed. “Now, no need to get your
panties in a twist. I’ve found El, and it’s just a matter of time
before I have the opportunity to take him down.”
“ Who the hell is El? For
the love of heaven what have you gotten yourself into? You should
be heading back by now!” Shay’s voice escalated with every
word.
“ You know what Shay, you
stress way too much. I got this.” Nae hopped on one foot as she
pulled her jeans on. “Let me get situated, and I’ll call you
back.”
“ What the fuck does that
mean?” Shay screeched.
Nae ended the call and
took a deep breath. She needed to find the bathroom, finish getting
dressed, and track down her warrant. Just what the hell had she
been thinking? Granted, El was sexy in a bad ass kinda way. She
scrubbed her hands up and down her face. This hunt just went from
bad to worse. She snatched the rest of her clothing and marched to
the only door in the room, forgetting
about the items she’d left scattered across the floor.
Chapter Four
Ellory crouched low dropping his head
between his paws and watched the bar his brother used as the
pride’s headquarters. As the oldest, he should have been in the
position of Chieftain. Instead, his brother had stolen the clan
from him, and for that, he would pay. The plan he’d kicked off in
Reno was coming to fruition. He yawned. Finding a bike that almost
matched El’s had been the biggest pain in the ass, and he’d been
forced to travel through a few states to find one which was even
close. But, he’d done it. What he hadn’t expected was for his
little brother to go and sleep with the bounty hunter. And, he
wasn’t sure if that would count in his favor. If the hottie in the
gun holster chose to believe Eldridge and helped him, she could
unravel everything he’d so carefully put into place.
Once he got El away from the pride,
killing him would be a piece of cake. He’d have to make sure to
leave the body some place conspicuous so it would be found quickly.
Miraculously, he would show up after the funeral, prepared to take
the place of his brother as head of the pride. Ellory rose and
padded across the soft moss forest floor to climb up an outcropping
of boulders. He still had to be careful not to be seen, and that
bitch of a bird might be gliding in the skies above him.
His brother had loyal supporters, that
much was evident by the way the pride chose to
