Ink hissed in pain at my delicate exploration of the hole where the bullet exited his body. “I’m just glad I have an exit wound, unlike when Ash got shot. I’d hate for you to be stuck digging the bullet out like Razor did for him.”
My head jerked up, and I glared at Eli. “I knew you were trying to hide that there wasn’t an exit wound that day, you big lummox.”
Shrugging, he didn’t look the least bit embarrassed to have been caught. “Sure was.”
“I know you have two club brothers who are doctors, and it’s been weeks since you were shot, but I’m going to want to take a look at your shoulder to see for myself that you’re okay since you didn’t let me do my job properly in the first place.”
“No need to get sassy, baby girl.” He winked at me. “Just say the word, and I’ll strip down for you whenever you want.”
“Quit flirting with the girl and let her fix me up,” Ink growled.
Eli glared at him, and I muttered, “Sorry.”
I gathered the supplies I needed to clean and pack the wound. Once that was done, I announced, “You’re going to need stitches, but not until the initial swelling goes down. If one of the club doctors can’t do it for you, you’ll be forced to go to the hospital. My training only gets us so far.”
“Thanks, but I’m sure Razor or Flint will handle it,” Ink assured me as I strode over to the sink.
After pulling off my gloves, I washed my hands again while Echo and Eli helped Ink off the exam table. Then Echo guided Ink out of the room, leaving Eli and me alone.
He brushed his lips against my cheek and murmured, “Thank you.”
“I think you can show me your gratitude better than that.”
I was aiming for a kiss because I couldn’t get the one he’d given me after our date out of my head, but I got more than I was bargaining for.

ASH
Iwanted to kiss Nora so fucking badly that my mouth was watering at the thought. But my cock was throbbing, and my mind was rapidly clearing of any thoughts except getting her naked. Which meant we needed to be alone right the fuck now.
“Come with me, baby girl,” I said quietly as I grabbed her hand and quickly led her down the hall to the recreation area.
A few guys were scattered around and asked about Ink, but I ignored them, going straight to the stairs that led up to the rooms on the second floor. Even though I lived in a house not far from the compound, being an officer had several privileges, like a permanent room with an en suite bathroom. I only used it when I worked so late that I didn’t feel like going home or when I needed to be on call for something.
Some of the others lived on-site, and there were open rooms for anyone who needed to crash here, but the reserved rooms were for officers and enforcers.
“Where are we going?” Nora asked breathlessly.
“To be alone,” I growled. At the top of the stairs, I turned right and went down three doors before stopping and digging a key out of my pocket. Once I got it unlocked, I turned the knob and placed my hand on Nora’s belly, gently pushing her backward until we were far enough in to slam the door shut behind me.
“So you can show me your gratitude?” she asked breathlessly.
“Abso-fucking-lutely. Also think it’s about time I doled out that punishment you’ve been racking up.”
Nora’s blue eyes widened and filled with shock and curiosity. “You-you’re-you’re going to um…”
I grinned wickedly. “Redden your pretty little ass until you can’t sit down tomorrow?”
Her mouth formed a cute little O, and I slowly guided her back until her legs hit the edge of the bed.
“We’ll get to that, baby girl. First, I’m gonna thank you for being so damn amazing today.” I shook my head and clarified, “Every fucking day.”
My hands spanned her waist, and I yanked her against my body as my mouth crashed down onto hers.
“You taste so fucking good,” I groaned against her lips before sinking into a deep, drugging kiss. My hands glided down and around to palm her delectable ass, hoisting her up so her legs wrapped around my waist. Then I fell forward so she was lying on her back with my body blanketing hers.
Our position had my cock firmly cuddled into the apex of her thighs, and I rocked gently, ripping my lips away and burying my face in her neck when she moaned.
“Those sexy little sounds are gonna break me, baby girl,” I rasped, sucking in a deep breath and trying to hold on to my control.
“That sounds promising,” she giggled.
My lips captured hers again, and I tried to go slow as I peeled away her clothes. But with every inch of bared skin, my cock throbbed harder and my body craved to be inside her.
