The Last Riders: Winter's Touch Part 9

She stopped treading water when her toes finally felt the pool floor under her. "I know you love me. You just don't understand what it's like to see other women wanting you, too. Most women can go to their homes and not be faced with that every day. I see it every morning and every evening until I go to our room at night."

"How many times have I offered to build you a house? How many times have I offered to build one for Aunt Shay? You're both stubborn as s.h.i.t."

He had. Numerous times. She had always put him off.

Viper was wrong about one thing, though. She wasn't anything like her aunt. Her aunt was independent. She enjoyed the house she and Uncle Dennis had built, even though she had lived in it alone since he had died.

"I enjoy living with the Last Riders. I really do," Winter confessed, which was something she had never told him before. "I like the house filled with them, even though they're a pain in the a.s.s sometimes. On the nights you have to work late, they give me someone to talk to. They give me someone to hold hands with when I know you're putting your life on the line for them. They keep you from getting bored with me when I talk too much about the school and my students. I like that there's always a light on because someone's up.

"When my father died, the house was so quiet. He used to always joke around or talk about anything to everyone. I missed that so much when he was gone. Even after all these years, I still miss it.

"When I started dating you, I felt alive again. Even my mother did. You were a G.o.dsend, helping my mother with her flights for her cancer treatments, so she wouldn't have to drive so far. Then she died, and I found out who you were. I was alone then; except, that time, it was so much worse. Not only was I left alone without my parents, but I had lost you, too.

"I redecorated, trying to remove every memory of you being in my home. It didn't work. Nothing did. That's why I sold the house when I married you. That's why I haven't let you build me a house. If you fell out of love with me or something happened to you, then I would be left alone in a home we had built with only memories to keep me company."

Viper dove into the water, coming up several inches in front of her. "Come here."

Winter swam into his arms. "I love you so much," she cried, sobbing into his neck. "Do you know how hard it is to be afraid of losing you?"

"Yes, every time you talk about having a baby." Viper held her close as she relaxed against him, letting him take her weight and the fears she had kept to herself.

"Maybe we both need to man up."

"Pretty girl, I love sucking your t.i.ts too much to want you to man up."

Winter gave a hiccupping laugh. "My b.r.e.a.s.t.s aren't big enough to put that look on your face."

"You can't see them as well as I can." He moved so more of the light could fall on her. "They look pretty d.a.m.n good from here. They look bigger, actually. I need to get Beth to make more pies."

Winter playfully hit him on his shoulder. "Jerk, I haven't gained any weight."

Viper brought his hands to her midriff, tugging her top off then throwing it over the diving board. "Never mind. They might be smaller."

Her laughter was cut off when Viper caught her lips in a kiss that drove her doubts away.

The dreams she had built were just that-dreams. Her husband was flesh and blood, not an intangible dream she couldn't hold on to. They comforted her, but they couldn't sweep her away on a tide of longing that only he could satisfy.

That was what Viper had been trying to tell her: she was the only one capable of filling the hole in his soul. She had been meant for him. He had been meant for her. Every beautiful piece of him had been meant for her. Only her.

"You still love me?" Winter breathed into his mouth, as his tongue wrapped around hers.

"So much it hurts," he repeated her words back to her.

Winter circled her legs around his naked waist, and Viper guided her to the side of the pool, where he took off her shorts, flinging them over her head.

"My aunt could come out," she warned.

"If she does, she'll leave when she sees my naked a.s.s." He lifted her up so he could see the water lapping at her nipples. "I'm going to f.u.c.k you, but I want you to know that, before I do, you're going to be punished for doubting me."

10.

Winter licked his bottom lip, arching into his sleek body. "As long as it's not seed inventory. If it is, you might need to take a cold shower, instead."

"No, Raci's been stuck with that since Genny left. I have something different in mind for you." Viper reached between her thighs to her swollen c.l.i.t. One finger plunged into her channel, and blinding pa.s.sion hit her core, nearly making her climax. The surge of l.u.s.t quaked throughout her body as goose b.u.mps broke out on her arms.

"How can you blame me for being jealous over you?" She lifted pa.s.sion-glazed eyes to his. "Every time you touch me, I don't want you to stop. However, when I see Shade and Lily, it's like looking at two pieces of the same soul. I don't think they could survive without the other. You could survive without me."

"Every relationship is different. I'm no Shade, and I'm not like Lucky, Razer, or Knox, either. Do you think their wives mean any less to them than Lily means to Shade? Would I hurt myself if I couldn't have you? f.u.c.k no. But would I take another woman? h.e.l.l no."

"I wouldn't want you to hurt yourself if you lost me; that's not what I'm trying to say. I just don't want you f.u.c.king other women."

Viper moved his hand away to replace it with the head of his c.o.c.k. She opened her legs wider, and he pushed inside of her.

"Are you serious? Are you asking me to never f.u.c.k another woman, even if you go before I do?" He stopped moving, staring at her with his mouth open.

"Yes."

"It's not enough that I wouldn't remarry, but you want me to never touch another as long as I live?"

Winter was becoming irritated at his slack-jawed incredulity. She considered it a reasonable request.

"Yes. I'm not asking you to do something I wouldn't do. I don't want another woman touching my husband... even after I'm dead. You can give away my clothes, my furniture, and anything else I own."

The water rippled as Viper began moving again. "You wouldn't f.u.c.k any other men?"

"No..." Winter moaned when he bit down on her nipple.

"Not even Knox?"

"No."

He switched his attention to the other nipple. "You liked his tongue ring," he reminded her.

"He's married."

"Not even if there was a zombie apocalypse and Diamond was eaten?"

"You goof head."' He was teasing her, but she saw the seriousness in his dark brown gaze. "No, I wouldn't have s.e.x with Knox."

"How about Rider?"

Winter held on to Viper with a tight grip as he continued plunging his c.o.c.k into her p.u.s.s.y. When her husband reached his stride, he could f.u.c.k for hours. She wasn't going to be able to walk when they got out of the pool.

"h.e.l.l no! You know how he gets when he has s.e.x. He's all Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." Rider had whoever he wanted in the bedroom.

"Moon?"

"No, his d.i.c.k is too big," Winter taunted.

Viper pinched her nipple more tightly.

"Ouch, that hurts," she complained.

"Good. How about Train?" She heard a different inflection in his voice now. Train was the only other one Viper had picked when he had let someone share their bed.

"No." Winter stopped Viper's hips from moving. "Why did you invite Train into our bed?"

Viper raised his lip from her nipple. "All of us who are married pick one man who will take care of our wives if something happens to us."

Winter hit the water, splashing her husband in the face. "Are you telling me you jerks all picked your replacements?"

"I don't know why you're getting so mad. You just said you didn't like being lonely." He caught her hands, twisting them behind her back. "What if one of my enemies gets lucky? Raul would love to see me buried six feet under."

Having her words thrown back at her didn't lessen her anger.

"Was that why you suddenly let Train in our bed? How many backups do you need? Were you worried something would happen to Knox that you needed two backups?

"No. I chose Knox before he married Diamond and before he became the sheriff in town. I figured he has his hands full if something happens between dealing with zombie herds and the townspeople."

"Knox has been married to Diamond and has been the sheriff for a few years, so why now?"

"When the Unjust Soldiers attacked the clubhouse, I knew I had put it off too long. When I found out Raul had escaped from prison, I made my mind up who it was going to be. Train will protect you or die trying."

"Why couldn't you have asked me?" She shook her head. "You and the men are crazy to think that way."

"No, we're not. You don't have any relatives to look after you other than Aunt Shay. Beth doesn't have any relatives. Lily has King, who has Evie to watch out for. Diamond has family, but they're all brain-dead. Rachel has the Porters, but they could get killed off easily-their lives are more dangerous than ours. And Willa would give all her money away."

"Which one of you geniuses came up with the idea?"

"We did it when Gavin went missing."

Gavin and Viper had been the ones who founded the Last Riders. They had all been in the military together and developed a bond, so Winter could understand how the men had been devastated by losing Viper's brother.

"You could have let us pick."

"Who would you have picked?" Viper nuzzled her neck, beginning to move again.

"Does it make you h.o.r.n.y thinking about me with other men?"

"Yeah."

"You a.s.shole," she gasped, wanting to touch him, but he wouldn't release her hands.

"Guilty. So, who would you pick?"

Winter hated it, but the thought was kind of turning her on, too. "Train."

"Why Train?"

"Because he's quiet, but scary as h.e.l.l when he's mad. He wants the women to be happy. He remembers everyone's birthday. He isn't attached to any particular woman. When Stori was sick, he stayed by her side, even when she was puking and told him to go. When any of the women argue, he's the one who settles it, and you know he's being fair when he does."

"Maybe he should be president." Viper was beginning to look jealous.

Winter shook her head. "No. He would be too easy on the women. They would take over the club."

"So I made the right choice?" Viper's satisfaction goaded her into making him even more jealous.

"Absolutely. I can see myself with Train."

Winter barely had enough time to close her mouth before Viper sank them to the bottom of the pool. A second later, she was breathing fresh air again. He finally released her hands.

"It isn't a wise move to make me jealous when I'm f.u.c.king you."

He had become lazily seductive, only giving her the tip of his c.o.c.k. She tried to sink back onto him while he used his fingers to tease her now engorged c.l.i.t.

"I take it back. Can't you take a joke? No one could replace what you do for me."

Her husband sank another inch into her aching sheath.

"No... one can make me as h.o.r.n.y as you make me."

He gave her another inch. Jeez, the man was cruel when he was jealous.

"He doesn't have your stamina."

"How would you know?" He began sliding out of her again.

Dammit. She would never try to make him jealous again.

"Do you not remember how many years I've watched him f.u.c.k? He's always f.u.c.king one of the women. Like you, he doesn't care who watches."

Thank G.o.d, he started f.u.c.king her again.

"You're better-looking than him." Okay, she wasn't technically lying; he was better looking to her.

That comment had his d.i.c.k filling her to her depths.

"Much better looking!" she said ecstatically, her o.r.g.a.s.m growing closer.

"Who licked your p.u.s.s.y better: Knox, Train, or me?"
