Never once breaking eye contact with Hayes.
I should have known better. I was a smart girl. However, I was quickly learning that I couldn’t have been anymore foolish when it came to this man.
For a moment, he showed me everything I longed to see.
Mixed in with the craze was his temptation for me.
It was bright.
Bold.
Completely intoxicating.
With one determined stride after the other, he started walking toward us. My body shuddered with an unexpected force I’d never experienced before.
Right when he was standing behind Taz, he acknowledged, “I see your up to no good.”
I grinned, waiting for I don’t know what.
Taz didn’t have time to turn around. In one rough tug, Hayes was yanking him away from me as if he weighed nothing at all by the collar of his cut. Before Taz could defend himself, Hayes growled, cocking his head to the side in a threatening manner, making Taz back away.
“Have you lost your mind?” Billy warned, abruptly standing beside us.
A crowd had suddenly formed, and all eyes were on us.
“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?” Billy seethed, only glaring at Hayes. Whose gaze was still solely focused on mine.
In the blink of an eye, Hayes was standing in between my legs, gripping onto the back of my neck in this needy yet confident hold. I gasped, placing my hands on his chest for support.
There was no time to register what was occurring, his mouth slammed into mine in such a powerful way it utterly consumed my entire being.
This wasn’t a kiss.
It was all claiming.
His tongue parted my lips, not asking but demanding entrance into my mouth. There was no denying him. My tongue moved on its own accord with his in this sinful push and pull of heady desire entwined with lust and sex. Never in my life had I been kissed quite like this. It was everything I read about in books and saw in movies. The way we were devouring each other should have been illegal.
The bar shouting and whistling was the only reason he pulled away, and I whimpered at the loss. Except in another quick movement, Hayes grabbed onto my ass and threw me over his shoulder before spanking it, hard.
“This,” he loudly publicized for everyone to hear, looking directly into his father’s eyes.
Two words changed everything between us when he openly declared…
“Is mine.”
Eight
Haven
He carried me like that into his office, kicking the door shut behind him.
“Stop manhandling me!”
“Stop fussing like you don’t want me to.”
“You arrogant bastard!”
“No shit. It’s one of my best qualities.” He slammed my ass onto the edge of his desk, standing in between my legs like he did at the pool table.
I opened my mouth to reply, but he hastily cut me off. “This is how it’s going to go down. When you step foot into my bar, you’re mine, Haven.”
This was the first time he actually said my name. It rolled off his tongue in a harsh tone that had my thighs clenching.
“Do you understand me?”
“Ummm…” I shook my head, confused. “What do you mean yours?”
“What part do you not understand? The one where I warned you more than once to stay away from the bikers? Or the one where you leave me no fucking choice but to claim you as mine?”
“I don’t understand.”
“Clearly.”
“I’m serious. I honestly don’t understand you. One minute you’re an asshole to me, treating me like shit and then you’re playing hero and laying this stake on me. What the hell?”
“What the hell is right! You think I want to do this? I have to.”
“Why?!”
“Since you don’t know how to fucking listen! I once again have to take matters into my own hands. No one will touch you now. Not if they want to live.”
“Live?” My stare went wide. “Are you for real?”
“One thing you need to learn about me is that I never say anything I don’t mean.”
“I... I... I…”
“Walk me through your thought process, Peach. Fucking enlighten me.”
“I’m not talking to you when you’re like this. You’re letting your mind run wild and there’s no reason for it.”
“You want to work in my bar than you’re a part of my world whether you want to be or not. I’m not going ask again. What the fuck were you trying to prove out there?”
I sighed, knowing he wasn’t going to let up until he got a straight answer.
“I was just—”
“Being a cock tease.”
I shoved him, and he didn’t budge an inch. “You can’t talk to me that way.”
“I’ll speak to you anyway I damn well please and don’t you ever fucking forget that.”
“Oh my God, Hayes! What the hell happened to you to make you this way? I can’t even have a conversation with you.”
“And here I thought we were having one.”
“This is how you speak to people? Like they’re your property? Well newsflash, asshole! I’m not yours!”
