Deator, the president of the club and probably the one man with the biggest hatred for the Eaters, grabs her by the shoulders and pulls her out. She does as she’s told and my hands flex at my sides, wanting to pull her away from him and hide her behind me. Until recently I’ve never thought about going against Deator, but I have to admit when he didn’t want the club to back up my cousin Bree when she got to town, well, I saw a new side of Deator then and I don’t like it.
Even while Deator is pushing her out the door, she’s turning her head and her blue eyes are trained on me. Can she feel it too? This attraction? Or is it something more? I muscle my way between the guys to walk next to Deator. I don’t want to examine why I do it, but I do know that a calm comes over me when I get next to her and have her only an arm’s length away. There’s something that tells me, either it’s my raging pulse or the way I can’t catch my breath, that I’ve finally met my match… and she’s a fuckin’ Eater.
Chapter 4
Penny
Lisa tricked me. That’s the first thought that crosses my mind when the man and woman come into the bedroom. That thought quickly fades when they fall to the bed and the woman pulls out his cock. I can’t take my eyes off him. My body trembles just watching him. I’ve never seen a man like this before and my body reacts in a new and surprising way.
I see the man’s body freeze and his gaze goes to me, or so it seems. I barely hold my gasp in. Can he see me the through the curved slats of the closet doors? I stand up slowly to get ready. For what I’m not sure. To attack? To run? I know I should be doing something, but I can’t force myself to move. The man’s cock is still out and it’s harder, longer than it was before. The woman is lying half on top of him, but her hand is between her legs and it seems that’s where her focus lies.
The man’s gaze penetrates the floor right in front of the closet. I watch as he grabs on to the woman’s shoulders and pushes her off of him. He starts to walk toward me and that’s when all hell breaks loose. I hear the voices before I see them and then almost instantaneously the doors of the closet swing open.
There stands Lisa with a group of men. But the only one I’m looking at is the one that was just lying on the bed with the woman. The one with his cock still hanging out, standing high and at full attention. I know I have more things to worry about—like the fact that Lisa did betray me and I should get the heck out of here—but instead, all I can do is watch the man’s cock that is still hanging out of his pants. He’s hard now, and I swear his cock twitches as I stare at it.
The man buttons up his jeans and my eyes travel up his tight, muscled torso. I don’t stop my appreciation of him until I land on his face. He has brown hair, high cheekbones and brown suspicious eyes that are staring back at me. I see recognition in them and I wonder if I’ve seen this man before. Surely not. I would have remembered.
A man grabs me by the arms and tugs me toward him. I can feel his hot breath on my face as he demands to know what I’m doing here. I start to explain, but he drags me from the room and leads me down the hallway. My bear, as if banging from the inside to get out, is out of control wanting to get free. But I tamp her down. Shifting now will do more harm than good. And as I look at the men following us, I know I’m not competition for the lot of them. My eyes find the man’s again and he’s walking past the others until he’s next to me and my captor. He doesn’t say anything, just watches.
I’m walked into a large room and pushed into a chair. There’s a large table and it makes me think of the Eaters’ clubhouse. This is where business is discussed. This is where they have church.
I sit back in my chair and cross my arms over my chest. The older man leans down and puts his finger in my face. “Now start talking. And don’t try lying to me. I know you’re an Eater and I know you’re Alban’s daughter. What are you doing in New Law Territory?”
