Free Crash and Burn by London Casey

fresh tears leak from her eyes. She couldn ’ t control it. When Landon moved
his hand along her cheek, she jumped again. Her nerves were stretched so thin.
    “ You had
nothing to do with the bombing, ” Landon whispered.
    “ No, ” Avery said.
    “ Shit, ” Landon said.
    “ What ’ s wrong? ”
    “ Don ’ t worry about me, ” Landon said. “ Get some rest. I have a busy day
tomorrow. ”
    Avery watched Landon roll over and turn off the light. The
darkness also brought silence. Avery had no idea what to think or do. She had
woken up in a bakery and barely escaped. She had gotten attacked by a crazy old
man because of pizza. She had been saved by Landon. Then she saved Landon. She
watched Landon murder someone. She had been chained to his bike. And she had
tasted his body and opened her heart to him.
    All in one day.
    “ Go to
fucking sleep, sweetheart, ” Landon said.
    He put an arm around her and pulled her close to his body.
Avery could feel the air of his breath playing with her hair. She knew it was
Landon, but she couldn ’ t
help but fear it was Bry. But then she felt Landon getting hard again and knew
it definitely wasn ’ t Bry … because Landon was bigger in
every way possible.

ten.
     
    Landon started his morning with eggs and beer. He left Avery
to herself in the room and brought her some food. He then gave her money and
made a phone call to a car service company in Frelen take Avery to get some
clothes. The car service looked normal, but the driver was equipped with enough
weaponry to take out half a crew if need be. This was a protection run, not a
luxury service.
    Avery tried to refuse the help, but Landon ignored her. He
needed Avery out of the MC and away from him. Being near her did something to
him. Looking at made him think of everything she ’ d
told him. What a fucking mess she had gotten into. Landon knew that this Bry
guy would come looking for her. Even if he was some punk asshole with a
motorcycle and a bar, he would want to prove a point. It enticed Landon though.
    With Avery gone, Landon sought out the rest of the guys to
figure out the plan for the day. Miller was at the bar with his hands folded,
Gaige on his left, Nate on his right. Blaine emerged from the hallway,
adjusting himself with his hand in his pants.
    “ You
have to do that here? ” Landon asked.
    Blaine took his hand from his pants and offered it to
Landon. “ Smell this, bro.
Does it smell …”
    “ Fuck
off, ” Landon said.
    “ Come
on. ” Blaine smelled his
hand. “ I can ’ t figure out what this smells
like. It ’ s got …”
    “ I don ’ t want to hear it, ” Landon said. “ Seriously. ”
    Blaine wiped his hand on his jeans. “ Whatever. Man, last night was wicked. That chick is
fucking crazy. She ’ s
excited for us. ”
    “ Good
for you, ” Landon said.
    Blaine put his arm around Landon and said, “ I swear man, she swallowed my
entire cock and was ready to take my balls too. Insane. ”
    “ Hey,
you two, come here, ” Miller
yelled.
    Landon shook Blaine away and went to Miller, Gaige, and
Nate.
    “ What ’ s happening? ” Blaine asked.
    “ First
thing, ” Miller said, “ go wash your fucking hands. Don ’ t spread last night ’ s mess around the clubhouse. ”
    Blaine went behind the bar to one of the sinks.
    “ You
ready for tonight? ” Miller
asked Landon.
    “ Ready
to fucking destroy someone, ” Landon said.
    “ Three
people, ” Gaige reminded
him.
    “ Ready
to fucking destroy three people, ” Landon clarified.
    “ Good, ” Miller said. “ Listen, we ’ ve got a situation right now.
Gaige, tell him. ”
    “ Remember
Strokner? ” Gaige asked.
    “ I do, ” Blaine said. “ His daughter was beautiful.
Never got to fuck her. ”
    “ She
took bullets for you, ” Gaige said. “ Show respect. ”
    “ Hey, I
did. I said she was beautiful. ” Blaine wiped his hands dry and leaned over the bar.
    “ I made
a deal with Strokner, ” Gaige said. “ Told him I
