Pick (Recoil Rock #1) Read online

  “Agreed.”

  Moving my hands to her ass, I grip on tight and stand from the couch. Still seated inside her, I walk us to the bed and finally pull her off me as I lay her down on the sheets. She smiles and rolls over so I can get in next to her, and I put out my arm so she can move in and cuddle into my side, right where I want her.

  It’s around lunch time and Lunar and I are still naked in the bed, just cuddling. It’s terrific to have her in my arms. To be honest, it’s nice to be holding someone again, I haven’t done it for so long and it’s even nicer that it’s with Lunar. We’re laying here and Lunar runs her hand up over my chest as she rolls up looking over the top of me.

  I smirk looking up at her. “And what do we have here then?”

  “I was thinking maybe another round was in order, my pussy is tingling,” she says and my cock instantly hardens.

  “Fucking hell, woman,” I say grabbing her head and pulling her lips to mine.

  A faint clicking noise filters through my brain along with the echo of footsteps, but I ignore it as I kiss Lunar.

  “Whoa, was not expecting that!” Ryan says breaking my concentration.

  Lunar pulls back and yanks the sheets up higher making sure to cover herself.

  “Fuck! Dude… get out!” I yell out.

  Lunar giggles as she cuddles into me further. How she thinks this is funny I’ll never know. If there’s one thing I hate it’s being walked in on when you’re naked with a girl. Fuck me, if that wasn’t one of the worst experiences of my life when Ella’s dad, Colt, walked in on Ella and me.

  “Oh… but c’mon, Danger. I’ve always liked the look of Lunar and we get along so well. Can’t I spank her just a little?” Ryan asks.

  Lunar bursts out laughing again as I pull out from under her and sit up. Reaching across, I grab the remote from the bedside table and throw it at him. He dodges with skillful accuracy and chuckles.

  “How the fuck did you get in here anyway?” I ask, and he smiles.

  “Got a key card from the front desk. Said you were locked out of your room naked and needed a hand. Aren’t I a genius? Was gonna come in here and cheer you the fuck up, but looks like I don’t need to fuck you now. Thanks, Lunar.”

  She laughs again, and I shake my head. “You’re a dick, now get out.”

  He salutes and winks to Lunar as she waves at him. “Good to see you’re back, Lunar,” Ryan calls out as he leaves.

  “Good to be back!” she calls after him.

  I screw my face up and turn around to face her. “Sorry about that.”

  She rolls her eyes. “Don’t even! Ryan is hilarious and you sir, need to loosen up. I think I can help with that.” Her eyebrows waggle up and down as her hand slides down and around my cock. I grin and lean in to kiss her as the thud of the door signals Ryan’s departure.

  I spent the day with Lunar, in Lunar, but now she’s leaving to go back to the clubhouse.

  “It’s Christmas tomorrow, will I see you?” I ask.

  She shrugs. “Christmas at the club is a big deal. There’s usually a big feast, and everyone is supposed to be there… I can ask if you guys can come. All of you. You can see what the club is really like and meet everyone?”

  Pursing my lips. “I don’t know. Not sure I’d fit in with a heap of bikers? Especially if they know how I feel about the way they treat you?”

  She shakes her head. “They don’t know, I haven’t told anyone. And anyway, you guys would just hang out with me and make my night more bearable… Ple-e-ease? Will you come?”

  Looking into her crystal blue eyes staring and pleading with me to come, I can’t really say no. Now can I? It makes it difficult to deny her what she wants when she looks at me that way.

  “Shit! Okay. Ask if we can come and we’ll be there. All of us, though. I’m not going on my own.”

  She jumps on the spot and claps her hands together. “Yes! You won’t regret it. And thank you, I know this is a big thing for you, but I do appreciate it.”

  “Well, it’s Christmas. It’s the time for giving and what not.”

  She laughs, leaning in and kissing my lips softly and then turns with a spring in her step and runs off down the hall. She’s so fucking sexy my cock twitches just looking at her ass as it sways away from me. I guess now I need to tell the guys we’re having a Christmas feast at a fucking biker club tomorrow night.

  I’m in high spirits and because of that, this year the clubhouse is getting extra attention in the decoration department. Me and Skye, one of the other club girls and probably my best friend here, have put decorations everywhere and I’m just finishing off the final parts of it now as I place some more presents under the tree. It’s hot, as it always is at Christmas time in Australia, so today I’m wearing shorts, but my boobs aren’t out like they normally would be.

  I know Steel is behind me on the beanbag couch, but I’m trying to ignore the feeling of his eyes on me. I’m getting closer to Danger which is helping my feelings for Steel to wash away. It’s getting harder and harder to remember what I actually liked about Steel in the first place. He never saw me as anything but a piece of ass, and to be honest, in the short time I’ve known Danger he’s shown me a hell of a lot more respect than Steel has in all the time I’ve known him. That’s not his fault, it’s just who he is and how he was raised. Being a biker gives you a certain outlook and a certain personality. He is who he is. I can’t change that. I don’t want to either. And for the first time, I don’t want to be with someone like Steel. Now that I know there’s something better out there, I’m not going back.

  Smiling at the thought, I know Steel’s eyes are still on me as I bend over. So I waggle my ass from side to side. “See something you like, cock face?” I call out causing him to chuckle.

  “Nope, nothin’ at all,” he replies.

  I stand up and scoff. “Liar.” I throw a Christmas decoration at him, it misses and bounces on the hard floor with a tinkle in front of his feet.

  He chuckles as I walk over, then bends down to pick up the red bauble. I plonk down into the bean bag sofa next to him. The whole thing shifts with my movement making him bounce and slide into me slightly.

  “So Steel, what did you get me for Christmas?” I ask, and he chuckles and shakes his head.

  “Same thing I got you last year.”

  Throwing my head back and laughing, I think back to this time last year. “An aching back and a UTI?”

  “Hey, told you I needed a shower and that I’d been wrestling in the mud pit, but you were all like… ‘Oh Steel, I’m so hot for you. Fuck me now and fuck me hard.’” He puts on some lame attempt to sound like me, but he fails miserably.

  Rolling my eyes, I slap his chest. “I don’t sound like that twatwaffle.”

  “You kinda sound like that.”

  “Fuck off.” Nudging his shoulder, I tilt my head. “I miss this,” I admit then rest my head on his shoulder, but not in a flirting way, more of a friendship way. I’ve been avoiding him because of Willow and Danger, and because… well, it’s plain awkward.

  He nods. “Yeah, I miss your friendship too. But just ‘cause I have a girl doesn’t mean we can’t still be friends, Lunar. You’re the one stoppin’ that.”

  Exhaling, I nod. “I know. I’m over it now, though.”

  “You are?” he asks, surprise etched in his voice and I’m actually a little annoyed by it.

  “Yeah, I’ve been talking to Danger from Recoil when he’s been playing at the club. His bandmates seem really cool, they’re coming tonight to the feast. I invited them, hope you don’t mind?” I look up at him chewing on my bottom lip. I decided to go with the tell him rather than ask him approach, as that always seems to work best with Steel. I know they don’t usually allow outsiders into the club, but Steel is definitely the way for Recoil to come in, and fuck I hope he says yes. I flutter my eyelashes at him and his body slumps slightly.

  “No, that’s fine. They’re all welcome. I’d like to see Danger again, and s
ee how things are travelin’ now his band is in Australia.”

  Yes! My plan worked. Smiling, I wrap my arm around his shoulders. “Thanks, Steel, you’re the best. I’ll go tell him that they can come.” Leaning in, I kiss his cheek then jump up with a spring in my step down toward my room to call Danger. I wasn’t sure if Steel would let them come or not, but I’m glad we’re getting along well enough now that he’s willing to let me have a little bit of happiness.

  I pull my door closed behind me and skip off to my bed, falling down my back hits mattress as I pull my phone from my pocket. Bringing it in line with my face I search for Danger’s contact and press dial. The phone rings against my ear and he picks up within three rings.

  “Hey, Candy.”

  “Hey! So I have good news.”

  “You do? I’m getting you wrapped in a bow for Christmas?” he asks, and I chuckle.

  “Well, that can be arranged, but that’s not what I was gonna say.”

  “Oh right! Well then, do continue, madam.”

  I shake my head and let out a small laugh. “Right, well, you and the guys are free to come to the clubhouse tonight. If you still want to? The feast starts at like six or so, but you can come around five-ish if you want, and meet everyone and kiss me and shit.”

  “Kiss you and shit?” he questions and I smirk.

  “Yeah, if you wanna?”

  “Oh… I wanna. I’m just wondering what the and shit entails exactly?”

  “Just you wait and see, it’s my Christmas surprise.”

  “Shit Lunar, you know how to get a man’s imagination running wild.”

  “Don’t get too excited now, big guy.” I let out a laugh.

  “Oh… nice way to ruin my wild imaginative fun.”

  “I like to be a spoil sport.”

  “Okay, we’ll be there five sharp.”

  “Great, can’t wait to see you. Oh, and wear something red, it’s Christmas after all,” I tease and he chuckles.

  “Yes ma’am, see you soon.”

  “Later.” I hang up the phone and smile wide as my door creaks open and I look toward it, my smile falters. Normally when a club girl’s door opens it means only one thing. It’s a brother looking for a good time. And if there’s one rule you don’t break it’s turning down a brother when he wants sex. My muscles clench and my breathing quickens when Skye pops her head through the door. I clench my eyes tight and breathe in a sigh of relief.

  “Shit,” I murmur, and she chuckles as I hear her walk in.

  “Sorry, did I scare you?”

  I flop back onto the bed opening my eyes and nod. “Yes you did, slut face. I thought you might have been Penetrator or someone equally as horrendous looking for me for… you know. No one has tried yet, but I know it will come sooner or later now Steel has Willow.”

  She winces and nods. “Yeah, I’ve heard the guys talking about how they would love to get back in with you, but Steel is telling everyone to keep away.”

  My eyes open wide and I gasp. “What? Why’s he doing that?”

  She shrugs. “Says it’s something to do with Danger. He doesn’t want the club to fuck things up for you.”

  Slumping my body, I huff. “Well, fuck me... he does care.”

  Skye tilts her head and rolls her eyes. “Lunar, of course he cares, he just wants to see you happy. Yes, that’s not with him, but if you can be happy with Danger, he’s not going to let anyone fuck that up for you. He wants the best for you. Even though your relationship with him is a weird one, you were still his girl for a long time… that still counts for something.”

  “Well, that’s really nice of him. ‘Cause the last thing I want to be doing is servicing the brothers, no offense.”

  She smiles. “None taken. It’s not my ideal job either, but it’s part of being a club girl, it’s all part and parcel of this life.”

  “We can leave you know. There’s more out there than this club. Sure we’re stunningly gorgeous and men love our bodies, but we have brains, we’re smart too and we can use those brains to better ourselves.”

  She smiles and grabs my hand. “I think you need to do that, your time here is coming to an end. I have to stick it out for a little while longer, but now… now is your time to shine. You just have to find the right time to leave. Get some money saved, find the right path to get some money behind you for Stuart and your mum and then don’t you dare look back. You get out of here with your rock star and make something of your life.”

  “I think I’m going to. I just have to find the right job to set up Mum and Stuart, then I’m gone. But you make it sound like you can’t do the same, Skye. You can… you’re strong, you’re smart, you’re beautiful… you can do anything.”

  She smiles and nods. “I am and I can, but not yet. It’s not my time. I’m not ready to leave, not yet. FIM is here and he’s… interesting.”

  I raise my eyebrow and smirk. “You and FIM? The new prospect?” I ask and she shrugs and nods.

  “Yeah, he’s kinda cool. I mean nothing dramatic is happening, but I like him, he’s different. Gentle, not like the others. You know?”

  Raising my eyebrow, I know exactly what she means. Danger is nothing like these bikers. Sure he’s similar in the way of being protective and dominant, but he isn’t like them in personality, not at all.

  “Yeah, I know what you mean. I’m so glad we’re both finding decent guys finally.”

  She giggles. “I know, right. It’s only taken… how long?” She laughs and flops back on the bed next to me. “I think you’re gonna be just fine, Lunar. You’re gonna be one of the lucky ones.”

  I turn to look at her. “You will, too. Trust me. We’re both gonna make it.”

  I glance over to see Techie and Steel sending an authorize message to the gate, so I know that Danger must be here as they exit out the black door. I jump on the spot just a little and put down my drink as I race outside. I’m super excited to see Danger as I run out the heavy black door to watch the van pull in. I glide past Techie and Steel toward the driver’s door and wait bouncing on the spot for Danger to get out. He’s grinning widely as he opens the noisy door. He steps down and I can’t contain my excitement jumping straight into his arms. Pressing my lips to his, he chuckles against me and kisses me back as his hand moves to my hair holding me firmly in place and time just slips away. I have no idea what’s happening around us as I melt into his arms, just being one with Danger and his kiss.

  I hear the Recoil boys talking to Techie and Steel, but I don’t care what they’re saying. I just need to get my fill of Danger.

  “Don’t worry, she’s like that with everyone.” Steel’s voice creeps into my ears and I know he’s talking about me, so I bring up my arm and flip him my middle finger as I continue to kiss Danger. Steel laughs as I finally slow the kiss pulling my lips from Danger, and he smirks then looks over to Steel.

  “Sorry. Hey man, how you doing?” Danger asks.

  “Good… good. How’s the gigs goin’?” Steel asks.

  Danger smiles while pulling me to him possessively. “Not as good as a packed out stadium. But hey, if we have to start from scratch again and work our way up we will, and we’re happy to do it.”

  “Yeah, well, if we didn’t have to take so much time off we might’ve been able to stay on top—”

  “Nate, shut it!” Matt says to his twin, and Ryan and Danger furrow their brows.

  “Let’s go out the back, sit down and have some bevies before dinner, hey?” Steel asks breaking the tension.

  I link my arm with Danger and we head off around the side of the compound down toward the burning tree, to sit by the unlit bonfire. We all take up seats and Techie sits next to Danger, who’s eyeing Nate suspiciously. I had no idea Nate was angry at Danger, and by the looks of it, neither does he.

  We’re sitting just generally chatting. Techie is talking to me about some record labels which you think would be very interesting to me, but all I can think about is Nate and what he said. Obviously, he
isn’t happy and it’s bugging me. I know me leaving the band for Ella was a big thing, but the band’s been back together now for a bit, and we’ve been gelling really well. Well, I thought we were so I don’t understand where this is coming from. We’re playing gigs. Luke, our agent, is talking about starting a headline tour around Australia. Our songs are playing on the radio, and Techie’s talking about recording contracts. I think things are going as well as can be expected.

  Nate and Matt stand up and walk over to the makeshift bar area, and I turn to Techie who’s halfway through one of his fact spiels and blow him off.

  “Sorry, I’ll be back,” I say. He furrows his brows as I stand up and start walking off.

  “Danger?” Techie calls out.

  I ignore him and keep walking over to the bar where Matt and Nate are standing talking. Taking a deep breath, I walk up to Nate. “Do we have a problem?” I ask.

  Matt slumps his body and shakes his head. “Danger… don’t!” Matt warns as Nate grits his teeth and flares his nostrils at me.

  “Yeah… yeah, we do,” Nate confirms.

  Matt puts his hand on Nate’s chest. “Nate, stop it! No, we don’t. Just walk away, Danger,” Matt says.

  I shake my head in confusion. “Okay, so this is really left of field for me ‘cause last I knew the band was doing great. We’re selling out our club and bar shows. Luke is looking at getting us a tour. So I’m not sure what the problem is?”

  Nate scoffs. “Of course, you don’t.”

  “Then tell me.”

  He looks over to where Ryan and Lunar are talking and laughing with each other then back to me. “Lunar… she’s Ella all over again,” Nate chides, and Matt clenches his eyes shut and winces.

  My teeth squeak as they grind together and a harsh breath is forced out of my nose. “What?”

  “Admit it… Lunar is another piece of pussy you’re going to fall for and when the time comes to go to America and make the band bigger, you won’t. You’ll choose her because that’s what you do, you choose the pussy over your band mates, over your future.”
