Viper leaned back against the tree, facing the fire so she could see the erotic sight of the members in the firelight. His hand buried itself in her hair and tilted her head back, taking her lips, his tongue slid silkily within the warmth of hers. His other hand pressed against her stomach, pressing her harder against the hardness of his cock behind his denims.

Winter felt her desire build as Viper’s hand unzipped her jacket. When it fell open, he pushed her top down until her bra was exposed. With a twist of his fingers, the closure came undone and her breasts were exposed to the chilly night.

“Viper…”

“Shh… no one can see.”

Winter tried to turn her head, but Viper claimed her mouth again as his fingers twisted an already hard nipple. A soft gasp escaped her and Viper used the opportunity to deepen his kiss. Winter’s hips began to grind back on his still covered cock. Viper’s hand left her breast to glide over her smooth stomach, unsnapping her jeans and sliding underneath to find her already wet for him. As he found her clit, teasing the small button in torturous swipes with his work roughened thumb, she was barely able to prevent herself from moaning out loud, not wanting to draw attention to them in the shadows.

Her legs tried to close to hold his fingers exactly where she wanted them. Viper’s foot tangled with hers, preventing her from moving. Winter was about to come when Viper removed his hand and returned to her breast, tracing her nipple with his wet fingers.

Winter was so lost in desire that it took several seconds to realize the hands sliding and pressing against her pussy couldn’t have been Viper’s, with one hand in her hair and the other on her breast. Her loosened jeans slid further down her hips with the aid of a hand helping their descent.

Stiffening, Winter tried again to tear her mouth away from Viper as the hand explored her silken warmth. Shuddering in need with Viper’s hand squeezing the flesh of her breast from the chest up to the tip of her nipple, Winter felt as if her nipples were on fire. When he pinched her nipples, the hand that had been caressing her pussy slid a finger deep inside, stroking her with long strokes. As her hips shifted, he added another finger.

Winter’s body was a flame of passion burning out of control, desperately needing something, but the two men had built her so high, she began to whimper in need. The hand left her aching clit and seconds later, Winter felt a wet heat licking gently against her clit. Viper released her mouth to move to her neck, biting and sucking on the soft flesh.

“Please, I need to …” Winter stopped herself, unable to go on. She should have called a halt immediately, as soon as she felt someone else touch her body, but desire had stopped her.

“You want to come?” Viper’s soft voice teased her ear.

Winter frantically nodded her head. “I can’t hear you.” Viper sucked harder on her neck at the same time he pinched a nipple tightly.

“Yes.” Even Winter could hear the need in her own voice. As soon as she answered, the tongue on her clit pressed down, letting her feel the cold metal ball right where she needed it most. Winter knew without a doubt who was between her legs now and it only stroked her need higher. He used the metal ball against her clit like a master, knowing just how to slide it against the inside slit of her pussy before pressing it directly on the tiny bud her clitoris protected.

When she came, Winter felt Viper’s hand cover her mouth to prevent everyone from hearing her screams. Only when she stopped shaking did Winter feel Knox remove his mouth from her, with a final flourish that almost sent her over again.

Viper’s hand smacked her ass hard to bring her back to reality.

“Don’t you dare come again, you are saving the rest for me. But that’s going to have to wait until we get back to the house; my balls are freezing off out here.”

Viper gently turned her around and fixed her bra back in place before clasping it closed. He then re-buttoned her shirt and zipped her jacket back up. It took him less than two minutes when she would have fumbled in the dark trying to put herself back together. Winter felt Knox move away as Viper redressed her.

Once he was done, he led her back to his bike, motioning for everyone to finish their business. Cash took a bucket of water and made sure the fire was out before he mounted his bike parked next to Viper’s. Winter held on to Viper as they headed back to the club. Her conscious was screaming at her for letting things get so out of control that she had let another man put his mouth on her.

Regret and fear stormed her senses during the ride, the wind only making the turbulence in her mind worse. When they pulled into the lot, Winter wanted to run to her car and escape back to her home and reattach herself to the life and morals she could feel slipping out of her grasp.

She took off her helmet before climbing off the bike and stood silently staring at her car as she tried to calm her racing mind and come to a clearheaded decision. The other members left talking and laughing. When Beth would have approached with a flushed ecstatic face, Razer pulled her past them. Seeing Winter’s face, he instantly recognized that she was upset.

Viper watched the emotions chase over Winter’s face. It was an easy situation to read. She was regretting what had taken place. Her instinct was to run, that was what Winter always tried, she hated confrontations. Her life was like a rulebook. Whenever something didn’t go as expected, she didn’t want to confront it. Instead, she would try to go around it. That method didn’t work for him anymore.

When she thought he wasn’t attracted to her, she made excuse after excuse. All she had to do was ask, but she hadn’t. Even now, she wanted to know where they stood, but she would rather run than risk an answer she didn’t want to hear. She could face hoards of teens, face down school boards to get funding, and stand up to furious parents over their spoiled kids, but she had no confidence in herself as a woman.

The Last Riders were a part of his life, one that he had no intention of leaving. He wanted to share it with the woman he loved. Winter was that woman. If she would just let her guard down long enough to see that he was willing to give her anything she wanted, she would stop letting her fears control her.

Viper had fallen hard for Winter during those two years he had been searching for Gavin’s killer, but he had managed to keep from making love to her because he knew she wouldn’t be able to accept his lifestyle. When she had found out who he really was, he hadn’t been surprised she had thrown him out of her life. He had walked away. It was only seeing Beth with Razer when he realized that if Beth could accept The Last Riders, then maybe Winter could too. The difference was Beth loved Razer enough to put herself out there, to take a chance that yes, she could be hurt, but the rewards would be worth it. Beth had set a high standard, one that he needed Winter to live up to.

“Let’s go in the clubhouse,” Viper coaxed with a soft voice.

She took a step forward, but it wasn’t towards him, but her car.

“Do you know what it was like when I found out you had been hurt? I thought I would give you enough time to get over being mad and then try to convince you to give me a chance. This time I thought I would show you what my life was and let you decide what you wanted. I was a mother fucker and I know that. What I didn’t know was during that two years I wasn’t showing you the real me, you were giving me a part of you and I fell for that woman. I denied it to myself until you were hurt. I went to that hospital and I couldn’t even see you. I had no rights toward you at all, you were unconscious and they wouldn’t tell me shit. I stayed at the hospital and even when you woke, you refused to see me. I wanted to hold you and let you know I would take care of you, but you never gave me a chance. I watched the day the ambulance came to take you to the rehabilitation center, unable to even say good-bye to you. I accepted all of that because I deserved it. However, I knew what I was going to do when I found out you were coming home. You know the real me now, I haven’t hidden one thing from you. Now you need to decide if you are going to stay and see where this goes or are you going to try to run every time you let your guard down?”
