Viper Excerpt<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not gonna hurt you,\u201d Viper said, hands out in front of him as he approached her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI know,\u201d she said, her voice a whisper of sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cViper!\u201d It was the only warning Arkham could issue before the girl attacked. She launched herself at Viper. In reflex, he caught her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two things happened when he closed his arms around her. First, Viper recognized she was more than a girl. The woman had curves aplenty, two of which were mashed against his chest, rubbing over him with every movement of her body. Second, the woman was fucking fierce<\/em>. Viper was perfectly capable of defending himself, but he was hesitant to do anything for fear of hurting her. So she pummeled him with that fucking rock. By sheer luck, she didn\u2019t catch his head with it, only his jaw. Viper retained his hold on her with one arm securely around her waist while using the other to block her blows as best he could. For such a small little thing, she packed quite a punch! Despite his efforts, she still connected several times before Arkham disarmed her. Bastard didn\u2019t help him any more than that. And still, she fought<\/em>. Apparently frustrated with her lack of progress, Darcy shrieked, kicking out and continuing to hit at him with her fists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKnock it the fuck off, woman!\u201d Viper finally set her on her feet and captured her wrists in his hands and wrapped his arms around her, trapping her with his superior strength. \u201cLook at me, Darcy!\u201d Viper used every ounce of command he possessed. In the end, it was probably the use of her name that made her pause in her tirade. \u201cLook at me!\u201d When she gave him a wary look he took a breath. \u201cYour father sent us to find you and bring you home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m not going back! I\u2019m old enough to make my own decisions, and I\u2019ll be damned if I go back to that bastard!\u201d Her struggles resumed. She tried to hike her knee up into his groin, but he managed to avoid it, pulling her tighter against him. It was getting exceedingly hard to ignore the lush curves pressed against him. The woman was tempting in the worst way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve never even met your dad,\u201d Viper said, struggling to hold her while not hurting her. \u201cI assure you, he\u2019s a good man.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRayburn, my stepdad, is a molesting bastard and my mom is nothing more than his pimp! I\u2019ll kill both of them and you before I go back!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Viper was so shocked, he relaxed his hold for a second, giving the girl enough leverage to break free. Darcy promptly kicked him in the balls before spinning around to flee again. Arkham caught her, spun her back around, and zip-tied her hands behind her back, ensuring he didn\u2019t get a repeat of what Viper got. Once she was secured, he looped a length of rope around her waist and tied her to a tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat should take care of that.\u201d Arkham turned his attention to Viper, kneeling down beside his biker brother. \u201cYou gonna be all right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShut the fuck up, you smug bastard.\u201d Viper tried to sound menacing, but it was hard to do when his balls were singing. Didn\u2019t help with him down on one knee looking up at the big man, either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust trying to help a brother out.\u201d Arkham raised his hands in surrender before turning back to their prisoner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou gonna fight me, girl?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou gonna try to take me back to that hellhole?\u201d She had to look up at Arkham, but Darcy didn\u2019t seem the least bit intimidated. In fact, she looked to be sizing him up, looking for the easiest way to take him down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHadn\u2019t planned on it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Arkham didn\u2019t offer anything else, Viper added, \u201cIt\u2019s your biological father who sent us. We\u2019re takin\u2019 you back to the clubhouse.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She looked from Arkham to Viper. \u201cBiological father. Clubhouse?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah.\u201d Viper groaned as he got to his feet. \u201cLook. I\u2019m Viper. This is Arkham. We\u2019ve been huntin\u2019 you for three fuckin\u2019 days, sweetheart. I\u2019d like to get out of the fuckin\u2019 snow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThree days? I\u2019ve only been gone like five.\u201d They had Darcy\u2019s attention now. Viper could see her calming down and really listening to what they had to say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cData set us on you less than an hour after he got the news from your mother.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBullshit,\u201d she spat. \u201cMy mother hasn\u2019t had contact with my dad since right after I was born. She said he had no use for a kid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDon\u2019t know their story. Or yours.\u201d Viper shrugged. \u201cAll I know is a man as steady as a rock under any kind of pressure is on my ass in a big way to get you home and out of danger.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, he hasn\u2019t been in my life for the first eighteen years. I don\u2019t need him for the next eighteen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t even want to hear what he has to say? Not gonna cost you anything but a few hours of your precious time. You don\u2019t like what he says or think he\u2019s feedin\u2019 you a line of bullshit, you can leave. Hell, I\u2019ll even take you anywhere you wanna go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was silent for a moment as she pondered what he\u2019d said. Viper had to stifle a groan. It was the first time he\u2019d had a chance to really study her. Her stocking hat had fallen free, releasing a riot of bright red curls that spilled around her face and down her back. Her skin was nearly as pale as the snow around her but smattered with a light dusting of freckles across her forehead and the bridge of her nose. Delicate eyebrows rose in a fiery arch above sparkling pale blue eyes. Her appearance matched her temper, but also gave a man black ideas. Like spreading her out right here in the snow and fucking her until they melted the clearing around them. God! Would she have fiery curls on her cunt? In an instant, Viper was hard and aching, his need to claim this woman here and now so strong he had to bite back a growl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally she relaxed against her bonds. \u201cFine. Kinda cold out here anyways.\u201d
