Twisted Pieces (12 page)

“
Christ,
”
Jace yelled.
“
I came here to fucking tell you what
is going on, Miller. Not to have you turn Jordyn into a fucking rat.
”

“
No,
brother, no,
”
Miller said.
He put a hand to Jace
’
s
shoulder.
“
A rat is against
us. Jordyn will be helping the club. It
’
s
time we get rid of everything to do with the night Strokner's daughter was
killed."

Jordyn looked at Jace.
“
I want to do this. I feel like
an idiot for believing that I was important to him and his company. And after
what I saw today
…”

Jace wasn't even listening. He
ripped the doors open and stormed out of the room. Jordyn was left standing
with Miller and Gaige. She had no idea what she was doing there or if she could
trust these guys. Hell, she wasn
’
t
even sure if she could trust Jace. He already told her he would let her down
and hurt her.
But he would protect her
…

“
I
’
ll talk to him,
”
Gaige said.

Gaige slipped out of the room.

Miller held the door open and nodded
for Jordyn to leave. She walked to the door and at the last second, Miller took
her by the wrist. He looked down at her with a stern face. His eyes were the
kind of eyes that had seen a lot of bad things in life.

“
You
doing this for yourself or for him?
”
Miller asked quietly.

“
Maybe
both?
”

“
You
going to fall for him? You think you
’
re
going to tame him?
”

“
I
never said that,
”
Jordyn
whispered.

“
Just
do yourself a favor. Get all you can out of Strokner. And when it
’
s done, slip away into the
night. Start yourself a new life.
”

“
That
’
s your advice to me?
”

“
That
would be my advice to any of the women that stick around here. Emily, Avery,
Kaity, Ava
…
even the ones
that aren
’
t here anymore
…”

“
Those
women didn
’
t listen?
”

“
No.
”

“
Why?
”

“
Fuck
if I should know. But maybe this time I can actually save someone.
”

Miller let Jordyn go and then
slammed the doors shut as he went back into the room. Jordyn stood in the
clubhouse and watched as the members of Back Down Devil MC enjoyed their night.
The first person she made eye contact with was Blaine. It made her stomach flip
and it got worse as Blaine started to walk toward her. He had a cigarette
hanging from his mouth and a bottle of beer in his hand. He walked right up to
Jordyn and put a hand to the wall behind her. There was no shame or fear in
Blaine. He was right in her face.

“
Beautiful,
”
Blaine said. He took the
cigarette from his mouth.
“
You
look a little lost around here. Need some directions?
”

“
Just
need to find Jace.
”

“
You
two fucking still?
”

“
Christ
…”

“
We're
all friends around here. If you ever need
…
something bigger. Something different. Wild. Come find me. We all share.
”

“
You
share?
”

“
No,
we don
’
t,
”
another voice said.

Jordyn turned her head and saw a
tall and thick muscled guy walking toward them. He seemed to be the biggest of
all the Back Down Devil guys.

“
Nate,
bro, I
’
m working here,
”
Blaine said.

“
She
was just inside there with Jace, Gaige, and Miller. I wouldn
’
t get involved.
”

“
Oh,
but I
’
ve seen her wet and
in a towel.
”
Blaine stared
at Jordyn.
“
I can
’
t get the image out of my
fucking mind
…”

Jordyn opened her mouth and then
Blaine was ripped away. It was Jace. And he was pissed off. He spun Blaine
around and threw a fist. Blaine
’
s
head snapped back. His cigarette and beer flew to the floor as Blaine stumbled
back and tried to keep himself from falling.

Nate dove and wrapped his massive
arms around Jace and held him.

“
You
don
’
t fucking get it!
”
Jace yelled at Blaine.

“
Fuck,
man,
”
Blaine said as he
wiped blood from his nose.

“
You
don
’
t fucking touch her
like that. You don
’
t
fucking grab at her or say shit like that. She doesn't deserve that!
”

Nate turned and threw Jace into the
bar. Jace collected himself and ran to Jordyn. When he took her by the arm, the
look on his face was like nothing Jordyn had ever seen. He was vulnerable. He
cared. It touched her heart in a way that scared her. This big tough biker was
crossing a line now, and Jordyn kind of liked it.

“
I
’
m sorry,
”
Blaine said.
“
You
know I have no control this huge cock of mine.
”

Jace shook his head and led Jordyn
away. They walked in silence and even after they were Jace
’
s room, the silence was nerve-racking.
Jordyn had no idea what to say. So much had happened.

Jace went into the bathroom and
shut the door. The last time she was in this room was when she had been so
angry and in such desperate need she literally threw herself at Jace. And he
took her. He took her like she could never have imagined.

Now the feeling was much different.

Jordyn slowly approached the
bathroom and opened the door. Jace stood at the sink, staring in the mirror.
Even though it was a reflection, his blue eyes were so intense.

“
Jace
…”

“
I
don
’
t like it,
”
he said.
“
I can
’
t keep losing people in my life.
”

“
Losing
people?
”

“
I
told myself I
’
d get out and
just not give a fuck. Run rampant. Fix the problems I saw. But I had no idea
you would come barreling into my goddamn life, Jordyn. And I made you a promise
that I intend to keep. Even if the world is against me."

Jordyn stepped forward and slipped
her arms around Jace
’
s
waist. She put her head to his back.

“
I
’
ll be okay,
”
she whispered.
“
I trust you, Jace. I don
’
t know why. I
’
m not the kind of person that
just rushes into someone
’
s
life. But I trust you.
”

Jordyn closed her eyes. Her heart
raced and her stomach fluttered. It was the kind of feeling Jordyn wasn
’
t used to. And, damn, if Miller
was right
…

I
’
m going to fall for him.

twelve.

Jace could only stand there for so
long. Each second brought them closer. When Jace looked in the mirror at
himself, he was fucking livid. He should have just tossed Jordyn out of his
room from the second she stepped into it that first day. Now he couldn
’
t let her go. He couldn
’
t imagine her in that office
with Strokner. Especially if Strokner was going to say things to her. Torture
her with his mind games. Then touch her, force her to do more, all because the
club wanted her help. Jace was pissed off that he was second guessing his
choice to have Jordyn at the clubhouse.

“
I
’
ve let you down already,
”
Jace said. He grabbed Jordyn
’
s hands and broke her hold.
“
Just like I said. And I
’
m sure I
’
ll hurt you.
”
Jace turned and pushed his way out of the bathroom.

“
Jace,
if Mr. Strokner is going to hurt people, he should be stopped. He
’
s going to hurt me if I don
’
t do this. Do you not understand
that?
”

“
Don
’
t make yourself out to be some
fucking hero,
”
Jace said.
“
You
’
re not.
”

“
Fuck
you,
”
Jordyn snapped. She
quickly slapped a hand over her mouth.

“
Yeah,
speak the truth, babe. If you want to disappear after all this, you can. I
’
ll help you. But I promise you
that you
’
re going to run
right back into it.
”

“
To
find out more,
”
Jordyn
said.
“
Because I trust you.
Because I trust what you
’
ll
do.
”

“
Trust?
”
Jace laughed.
“
I went to kill a kid the other
day. To send a message to his father.
”

Jordyn gasped. She reminded
herself, again, that she was staring at a murderer. Not alleged. Jordyn had
seen it.

“
You
killed a kid?
”

“
No,
”
Jace said. He sat down on the
edge of his bed.
“
I couldn
’
t do it. I mean, fuck, I could
have done it. I can do anything I want. But the kid was getting the shit beat
out of him by some punks.
”

Jordyn stepped toward Jace.
“
What did you do?
”

Jace looked at Jordyn.
“
I told him to stop being a pussy
and fight back. Either I help the kid or he ends up dead anyway. It didn
’
t help me get my message to the
kid
’
s father who is the prick
judge that let me sit in prison. And I
’
m
telling you, babe, it
’
s all
tied together. That guy that wanted to shoot me? I saw that crew getting a
shipment of drugs. And Strokner wanting you to give me that file? There was a
reason for that.
”

“
Do
you think Mr. Strokner would be working with other clubs?
”

“
I
don
’
t fucking know,
”
Jace said.
“
My head is scrambled.
”

Jordyn was now standing in front of
Jace. She slowly reached out and put her hands to his shoulders.
“
I
’
ve
lost so much, Jace. I
’
m
tired of it. I couldn
’
t
control my parents
’
death
…
but I can try to control this.
”

Jace reached out and touched Jordyn
’
s hips. He gritted his teeth and
shook his head. He couldn
’
t
believe where all this was going. How intense Jordyn was making things already.
Her sweet body
…
the taste
of her skin
…

“
I
don
’
t want to lose you
because of some stupid decision,
”
Jace said.
“
What if Strokner
gets drunk and angry and hits you again. I
’
ll
lose my damn mind.
”

“
Why?
Why does it matter? If you
’
re
going to let me down and hurt me
…
if you
’
re going to send me
packing when this is done
…”

“
Because
I lost my fucking parents, too,
”
Jace said. He squeezed at Jordyn
’
s
hips.
“
I know what it
’
s like. Mine were shot and
killed in a botched burglary attempt at our home. I had no one after that. You
had someone to pull you back in and help make things as good as they could be.
I didn
’
t. When my parents
were gone, I jumped over the line and never looked back. My life and legacy is this
club. My ride. My ability to fight, to kill, to survive. That
’
s what I leave behind. But you
deserve more, Jordyn. You shouldn
’
t
be in all this.
”

Jace couldn
’
t believe he had just blurted that out. He slowly
looked up at Jordyn as she looked down at him. He never thought in a million
years he
’
d confess that to
a woman.

“
I
don
’
t have anything or
anyone either,
”
Jordyn
whispered.

“
You
said your grandmother
…”

“
She
’
s dying, Jace. She has cancer.
She
’
s in a hospital waiting
to go. All she ever wanted was for me to have a good job and life that I could
be proud of. One that would have made my parents proud. She wanted me to be
happy.
”

“
And
instead you
’
re in the
bedroom of a murderer biker,
”
Jace said.
“
I don
’
t think that
’
s what she had in mind, do you?
”

Jordyn ran a hand through Jace
’
s hair.
“
I don
’
t
know, Jace. But right now, she thinks I have a great job. I
’
m okay with that. The only other
thing she wanted was for me to have a good man.
”

“
I
’
m not a good man. Don
’
t even put that shit in your
mind.
”

“
Then
what are you, Jace?
”

Jace gently lifted Jordyn
’
s shirt and exposed her bare
stomach. He leaned forward and gently kissed her stomach.
“
I
’
m
an outlaw, Jordyn. I don
’
t
follow any rules except the ones that are made by the sound of a gavel.
”
Jace kissed Jordyn
’
s stomach again. His hand
started to slip into her jeans, pulling them down as much as he could without
unbuttoning them.
“
I
’
m a fantasy, babe. A wild, dark
fantasy. But I keep my promises. So if you
’
re
going to put yourself in danger, I
’
m
going to protect you. And that starts and ends with you right here, in my bed
with me.
”
Jace looked up
and saw the flushed look on Jordyn
’
s
face.
“
Understand me?
”

“
Yes,
”
Jordyn whispered.

Jace flicked his thumb and unbuttoned
Jordyn
’
s jeans. He pulled them
down just above her knees and left them there. She tried to open her legs as
much as she could. For a second, Jace was a little disappointed that Jordyn was
wearing panties right now. But since she was wearing them, he would have a
little fun and test her boundaries a little.

He grabbed her ass with one hand
while his fingers on his other hand entered her pants. He placed his hand at
the front of her panties and with his thumb, he pressed against her. When his
thumb curled, he felt the warmth of her pussy burning through. Jace applied
more pressure and felt Jordyn jump. When he kissed her stomach again, he
offered his tongue and Jordyn dug her hands into his hair. He kissed her lower
stomach, slicing into her pants with the tip of his tongue as though it were a
razor. His thumb rubbed in circles and Jace felt Jordyn
’
s ass tightening against his hand. He slowly kissed
up and looked at her. Her head was back and she was starting to breathe uncontrollably.

No fucking way
…

Jace didn
’
t believe that Jordyn was really getting ready to
come. He moved his hand from her ass to her hip. Suddenly, Jace let all the
thoughts race back to him. What happened with Strokner and Jordyn. That prick
from Coast Road trying to take him out. Miller and Gaige jumping at the idea of
Jordyn pleasing Strokner for more information.

Jace growled and pressed his thumb
even harder. He moved left to right and even through Jordyn
’
s panties, he could feel the nub
of her swollen clit. It turned Jace on even more. Jordyn pulled at his hair and
started to thrust her hips at him. Her breathing grew even more erratic. Jordyn
moved to her toes and that
’
s
when she started to come. Her entire body shook with pleasuring fury. Jace took
his hand from her pussy and pulled her close. He kissed her lower stomach once
and then turned his head.

Don
’
t fucking hug her like
this
…

But it was too late.

Jace hugged Jordyn, feeling her
stomach as she was breathing like crazy. Her hands loosened up on his hair and
she started to hold him against her body.

“
Thank
you for telling me,
”
she
whispered.
“
I want to know
more, Jace. About you. About everything.
”

“
This
is not the life you want,
”
Jace
said.
“
Especially with me.
I
’
m no good.
”

“
Maybe
that
’
s what I need.
”

Jace looked up and Jordyn looked
down at him. There were a hundred things running through his mind. Most of them
were words that would make things more serious than either of them was ready
for."

Jordyn
’
s eyes were burning at him.

“
I
’
m sorry about your family,
”
Jace said.
“
It
’
s
not fair.
”

“
It
’
s not fair for you, either,
”
Jordyn said. She bit her lip
for a second and then bent her knees.

She still wants it
…
holy fuck
…

“
I
don
’
t care about that shit,
”
Jace said.
“
I care about today.
”

“
You
’
re worried about me
…
Mr. Strokner
…”

“
I
don
’
t want to hear his name
right now.
”

“
Okay.
What do you want to hear?
”

Jace smirked.
“
I want to hear you moan my name while
I fill that sweet pussy of yours
…”

“
Fuck,
”
Jordyn whispered. She bit her
lip again.

He wanted her bad.

Before anything could happen there
was a knock at Jace
’
s door.

“
Open
it,
”
Jace yelled. He turned
his head and saw Blaine standing there.
“
What
the fuck do you want?
”

“
We
need to go,
”
Blaine said.
“
Right now. Miller got a call
from the chief.
”

“
What
the fuck does he want?
”

Blaine looked at Jordyn, then back
to Jace.
“
Two bodies, Jace.
Pretty nasty shit.
”

“
Why
does it involve us?
”

“
Miller
made the call, man. Come on.
”

Blaine closed the door.

When Jace stood he towered over
Jordyn.
“
I guess I have to
go, babe.
”

“
Nothing
I can do to keep you here?
”

“
Not
when the call comes.
”
Jace
touched her face.
“
I might
walk out that door and never come back. I might get my fucking head blown off.
I might get blown up. I might get kidnapped. You okay with that?
”

“
No,
”
Jordyn said.
“
But I guess I have to accept it.
”

Jordyn moved in and kissed Jace.

There was nothing else to say. Jace
hated goodbyes because they were meaningless. He
’
d
rather leave with the lingering taste of Jordyn
’
s
lips than anything else right now. However, at the door, he stopped and looked
over his shoulder. Jordyn stood there with her jeans down to her knees and her
shirt barely covering her panties.
