The Falcon Ridge Series Book 3 If Looks Could Kill

ALEXI

My head rests on his back as he starts the engine.

Feeling my arms around his hard body has my own heating up. Which is only amplified by the powerful machine between my thighs.

"Hang on tight." He says over his shoulder.

I squeeze his chest a little harder as he pushes off and revs out of the pack house driveway. We join the road and he speeds up. I smile as the wind blows my hair and I feel his body control the bike. It feels wonderful to just be this free. Even when I was really free, I never truly was.

This is what Luke gives me…freedom.

I spent the whole trip just taking in his strength and warmth. I watched the tall forests pass us as he took us down the highway. We moved as one around the bends and turns. I think this is what Krystal meant. He makes me feel safe. He makes me feel cared for. He makes me feel…

I raise my head as he slows down and turns off the road. The light all but disappears as we enter a dirt road with a canopy of trees above it.

He turns his head quickly to me as he navigates the bumps and dips. "I come here to run. Haven’t in a while, though.”

"It's beautiful." I lean to his shoulder and smile as he stops and parks.

He shuts the bike off, pockets the keys and pulls his leg up over the bike seat. He faces me and leans to my lips. "You're beautiful." He consumes my lips and pulls me off the seat.

The bike sits in the long grass of a small clearing. The sun dances in the leaves of the trees as he carries me to the front of the bike. He sits us down with me in his lap. He kisses my lips several times as he runs his fingers through my hair.

“I could kiss you forever.” He purrs as he sucks my bottom lip.

“Luke…” I whimper before he bruises my lips.

The breeze blows around us as he gently pulls my head back by my hair. His soft lips kiss and nip my neck and jaw. My arousal rises with every touch.

He kisses his way back up to my lips. "Get this off." He whispers and tugs at my shirt.

We separate long enough for me to slide my jacket off and pull my t-shirt over my head. I toss them both in the grass beside us.

He looks me over and smirks. He hooks his finger into the middle of my bra. “This, too.” He tugs on it and I giggle.

I give him tiny kisses as I unclasp my bra and pull it off.

He purrs as his lips sensually glide down my skin to my breasts. I close my eyes, reach my hands into my hair and moan as his tongue twirls around each nipple. He kisses back up as he kneads each breast then grabs my head. He slams his lips on mine and I drown in his taste.

He reaches between us and pops the button on his jeans. He reaches across and pulls on my button. “Why are these still on?” He smiles and bounces his brow.

I laugh and pull them off. I hook my g string black panties and stops me.

“Nah…lace stays.” He raises a brow and licks his lip.

“Alright, Alpha.” I tick my brow.

He leans to my lips. “I’m starting to really love hearing that from you.” He growls then kisses me hard.

He slides his hand down my stomach and he rubs my pussy through my panties. He bites my ear and neck as he quietly growls.

“Yes, Luke…” I whisper as I lean into his shoulder.

He finds my clit and makes circles around the lace. My wetness increased as the sensations of his touch ran through my body.

He takes a quick second to pull his jeans and boxers down to his knees. Pulling my panties to the side, he kisses me as he lines up his rock-hard erection with my entrance.

I hold his cheeks and taste his mouth as he pushes into me then lifts us.

I moan on his mouth as he pushes me down to the hilt. I lift up then slowly lower, feeling every inch enter my pussy.

“…Damn…”He breathes as he breaks the kiss. “So fucking good…”

“Yes…God, yess…” I hold his shoulders as I arch back. I move my hips a little faster as his thrusts hit every nerve in my body.

The sun heats up as it rises above the treetops. I feel the sweat start to form as it adds to the heat Luke creates in me.

He bucks his hips and holds my ass cheeks as he rises higher to change the angle.

“Fuck…yes…” He grinds as he hits a little harder.

My nails indent his nape as I hold on to him. We both speed up in almost perfect sync. His dick penetrates me deeper and I feel my orgasm start to build.

“Yesss…Luke...” I moan louder and arch back more. He holds my neck and licks my body as he slams harder strokes into my dripping wet pussy.

“Yes, baby…Ride it…Show me what you got…” He grips my ass as I ride him. It’s not long before I feel him swell inside me.

"Yessss…GOD, YESSS!!"

His dick hits faster as I bounce harder. My climax races through and I can’t stop it. My nails dig into his shoulders and it crashes.

“YESSSS!”

My pussy gushes all over him. He reaches between us, finds my clit and rubs it hard as he fucks me.

“Fuck, Alexi…you come so good…” He huffs as my slit eyes find his.

He fucks me hard, bruises my ass cheeks in his grip and bites my skin. My orgasm rocks through me and my pussy tightens around his shaft.

“Yes…Damn, baby…Give it to me…” He grinds as my orgasm rockets out even harder.

“YESSSS!”

He growls on my skin. “Fuck…I can’t hold it…” He lifts his head and stares into my eyes. “Baby, milk it..." His thrusts increase as his dick thickens and coats my walls. His muscles tighten and I feel his power in every stroke of release into me.

He growls a powerful Alpha growl as we both come together. The forest wakes and birds fly across the sun as our passion is heard through the trunks.

He pulls me into his chest and breaths into my neck for the last few thrusts.

As he stops, I wrap my arms around his head. The breeze blows across my sweat-covered skin, raising goosebumps as I tremble in his arms. I close my eyes and feels the rise and fall of his shoulders as he catches his breath.

Soon, I hear chuckling.

I pull back and he’s smiling. “What?”

He shakes his head as he reaches up and moves a disheveled curl from my face. “Nothin’. I was just thinking… We've spent the last 4 months either kicking each other’s asses or fucking the shit out of each other.”

I can’t help but giggle. “You really are a romantic.”

He leans to my lips. “You love it.”

“I do.”

“So… We have two choices.” He gazes into my eyes. “We can stay here, roll around the grass some more, and see how much we can rock this forest, or… we can go home.”

My lips slightly fall as my fingertips trace along his scruff-covered jawline. “Home.” I pause to think. “I like that word… Home.”

He runs his fingertips across my cheek. “That’s because you are home, baby.” He kisses my lips. “You don’t belong anywhere else. Like I said…you belong right here…with me.”

I almost feel like crying as I hold his cheeks and kiss him with all I passion I can give. My heart swells and I’ve never felt so protected and wanted in my entire life.

If we truly are a second chance for our parents, I want to do this so right.

I want to prove to whoever matters that if it wasn’t for the Alliance, my father and Luke’s mother wouldn’t have been robbed of the love they had.

I will do my best to fight in the way that will make real change. Not a Dragons way. I will fight for our parents. I’ll fight for Luke…

And I’ll fight for love because no one should ever be robbed of the love they deserved.

I’m correcting this mistake and I will honor Krystal's love for my father by making her son happy and proud of the woman he chose.

I will give Luke what he desperately needs, too.

A home.

LUKE

It's all fun and games before life gets in the way. I had almost forgot that the only reason she’s here is to protect her from the Dragons she has to testify against. My late night snacks are a perk.

So, my current mood was ruined when I got a call from His Royal Narcissist to set up a meeting with Alexi. Fuck, I hate that guy and this. This is such a bad idea, but if it gets Dragons off the street and Alexi home free, I’m doing it. Though, I’m going to need a puke bag to get through the next hour.

As we waited for Bastian to glide in on his inflated ego, Alexi was wearing a hole in the damn carpet, chewing on a nail. I’m at the conference table, leaning an elbow on it and rubbing my head. I can feel her anxiety and it's driving my wolf nuts.

I drop my arm. “Alexi, sit!” I give a pleading whine with a slight bark.

"I can't. I'm too nervous." Her curls bounce as she shakes her head and wraps the arm around her waist tighter.

"Babe, it'll be fine. We're just going over the game plan for the trial." I sit up and lean on my thighs.

"I'm planning to testify against my friends, Luke. People that pretty much raised me from birth. None have shown me an ounce of hate. This isn't sitting well in my stomach." I see the confusion and hurt on her face as she deals with the reasoning on this.

I walk around the table and stop her in her tracks. "I know it’s shit, but it's a condition of your freedom. Once you're cleared, my pack won't have anything to say about you. It's what we want, isn't it?"

"Yes, but it still hurts. These are my people. They devoted their lives to me. Forgive me if I feel like I’m stabbing them in the back." She looks at me with worry in her eyes.

"I know. It sucks, but look at it this way. An Alpha has to make sure his or her pack is safe. First and foremost, right?." I look into her eyes as I express something I really should of thought about from the beginning. I’ll kick my own ass for remembering it now.

“Yes.”

“Are these people safe in your mind. Even if they didn’t show it?” I ask.

“No.”

“You belong here in Red Rock and if you stay that means this is your pack, too. So as Alpha, what should you do?” I raise my brow as I wait for an answer.

“Testify.” She mumbles.

“Right.” I kiss her forehead. “You’re keeping us safe.” I meet her eyes. “Thanks, Alpha.” I give her a stupid grin and tap her arm.

She giggles. “You are pretty smart.”

I tick my head. “My drunk self would argue that.”

She laughs as the conference door opens.

Terry pops his head in before walking in fully. "His highness is here." He rolls his eyes and open the door for Bastian.

I can't help, but snort as I lead Alexi to the table and sit us down.

Bastian practically floats into the room. He's sporting that smile that he thinks should come with a diamond sparkle or some shit. His strut screams pretentious bitch. Do we really need this guy?

"Luke. I see Red Rock hasn't changed much. Still gangster as ever. Is that a new biker jacket?" He grins, stuff his hands into his 1000 dollar suit pants and bounces on his toes.

I feel my collar heat and my fist balls on the table top. I press my lips together, Alexi sees it and grabs my hand. "Don't." She whispers. My eyes flick to hers and I take cleansing breaths to ignore his bullshit.

I decide snark is a much better way to go. "Bastian, you've climbed off your high horse twice now. I'm impressed. I thought at this point you'd die from having to carry your dick personality all on your own." I smirk.

“Luke.” Alexi growls.

Bastian chuckles as he sits. “You know, if opinions from low-brow wolves were worth anything, well… I still wouldn’t give a shit.” He leans on the table and laces his fingers together. “Just be glad I can brighten up this garbage heap with some class.” He inspects his nails on one hand then gives me a smug look.

My nostrils flare and I stare him down as I try to think of a comeback. “Fuck it…”

I go to stand and Alexi grabs my arm. “Luke! Sit down!”

“Yes, Luke. Be a good boy and sit.” Bastian says with more attitude.

I try not to snarl and remain stoic as I lower myself back into my seat.

"Ok." He leas back and places his hands on his chest. "So, we managed to collect ten Dragons off your list."

"Only ten? There were twenty names." Alexi glances at me then back at him.

"The rest have gone into hiding.” Bastian motions his hands out. “We staked out the safe house, but there hasn't been movement in weeks." He laces his finger again.

"Well, they shouldn't be hard to find if you got the leaders." Alexi suggests.

“The only one we didn't get was Nash." Bastian supplies.

Alexi presses her lips together. "If he's disappeared, he'll be hard to find."

Bastian sits forward. "That's what I wanted to talk to you about. I'm thinking if we release it to the public that your testifying, Nash will come out of the woodwork and we can nail him."

I smack the table and point to him. “See! I knew he wanted to out you!” I glare at Alexi then to Bastian. "No. No fucking way."

"Luke, he has a point." Alexi leans on the table.

“What point other than making you a target for every Dragon out there! He's crazy and you’re crazy for even considering it!” I point to her eyes.

Bastian flicks his eyes between us both. “We need to get this guy off the streets. He was Torrent's highest-ranking advisor. He knew Torrent and how he operated. Imagine what he could do now that there's no threat to him from higher ups."

"Fucking forget it!" I snarl.

"Luke. Just consider for a moment." Alexi held my arm.

I shake my head. "No, Alexi. I may have said you can do what you want, but not this. This is where I put my foot down. You're not fucking doing it. Bastian will have to find another way."

"How can we get Nash then." She crosses her arms.

"Flush him out. Knock down doors. He can't have got too far." I sit back.

"You think we haven't done that? We've turned over every fucking rock in the Alliance and all we find is more rocks. Luke, we're out of options." Bastian sits back. “The longer he's out there, the more dangerous he becomes.”

“Bastian’s right, Luke. Nash is not one to take for granted. His knowledge and influence on remaining Dragons is dangerously appealing. They could easily make him new Alpha.” Alexi says.

"No. End of story. I will not put my girl in danger just because you can't do your fucking job." I put my Alpha on full display as I stare him down.

"Fine. But you realize once she testifies and she's outed, Nash will find her. Unless we get him before the trial." Bastian warns. "We won't be able to protect her."

I turn to Alexi. "Is Nash an actual threat to you?"

"Honestly, I don't know. The last time I saw him, he was living a life of solitude. Now, that he knows the Dragons are being actively hunted. There’s no telling what we’re dealing with. I know he wouldn’t hurt me, per say, but he is capable of killing anyone else to get to me if he so chose.” Alexi says darkly.

Bastian arches a brow. "My suggestion then is… watch you back.”

“Don’t worry about that.” I growl and cross my arms.

Bastian nods. "Now. When you testify, you just have to confirm that they are Dragons and their role in your father's army. If you can, also confirm if they were involved in the invasions."

"I wouldn't know that. But every person on that list were at the pack house with my father before the attack on Helena. That I know for sure." She confirms.

"OK." Bastian stands and does up his suit jacket. "We'll go over your testimony closer to the trial in a few weeks. In the meantime, I suggest stronger security other than the usual… petty officers." He offers his hand to Alexi and they shake. He nods to me. "Luke."

I grunt in response.

We were about the follow him out when Terry appeared in the doorway, moving out of the way for Bastian. He walks in with his thumb pointed over his shoulder.

"So, what's the threat now." He questions.

"He says one of Torrent's higher ups may come for Alexi." I scowl. “The Unit can’t find him and he wants to out Alexi to draw him out. I told him no way, but that means he’s still out there and may try to get Alexi once she testifies.”

"Ok. So, what are we doing about it?" Terry folds his arms.

"Upping security. Making sure everything’s locked and also making sure Alexi is never alone.” I shrug.

"Sounds good. I’ll have Evan run to my office to grab my Dragon files. Maybe there’s some hideouts or something in there that the Alliance hasn’t checked yet." Terry office.

"Great.” I turn to Alexi. "Ready for some food?"

'Yes, please." She says, eagerly.

I hope we can find something because, although, the pajama wearing riddle master didn't seem like a threat to me, I don't really know what he's capable of. I need to keep Alexi safe and I'll murder anyone who lands a hand on her.
