We Will Reign (Wicked Boys of BCU, #1)

by Rachel Leigh

“You’ve moved me more than any human can ever move another. That’s not something I’m willing to let go of. Not in this lifetime, and not in the next.”

Who the hell is this and where did my innocent girl go? “You ever behave like this for anyone else and I’ll lock you in a cage, Angel. You hear me?”

“Spread your legs and let me get a look at your pretty cunt.”

“I want you to come on my face, Angel. And when you’re done, I want you to come again around my cock.”

I work harder and faster, desperate for her rapture, so she can clench my cock and milk every last drop while I come inside her. And I will come inside her. I have every intention of staking my claim on this girl, and while we’re not ready for a baby yet, one day she will have my child.

With my chin on her shoulder, I fan her hair with my breath. “Can I fuck you, Angel? Let me be your first. Your last. Your only.”

Choking on emotions, I feel like a goddamn king. As if I’ve just crowned my queen.

“You wanted me to be your first! You wanted me to fuck you!” “I did. And now…it’s over.” “Oh, Angel.” A devilish laugh vibrates in my throat. "It’s not over. It’s only just begun.”

Lifting my head slightly, I look at Scar. “He might be a sicko, but he’s a sicko who would move heaven and earth for me.”

I let go of the handle and lift my chin, still not looking at him. “The other night you threatened me. Why would I care to get to know you at all?” “Oh, I didn’t threaten you, Trouble. I made a promise. You fuck with my friends; you fuck with me. And you don’t wanna do that.” His hand finds the sheen of skin exposed from my cut-off sweatshirt, fingers teetering on my side. “Unless you do.”

“Then move, asshole!” “Make me, Trouble.” “Ugh!” I grumble, grabbing his hand and trying to pry it off the door. “You’re so infuriating.” In an instant, he grabs my hand, pinching my fingers together so tightly, I fear one will break. “Quit it. You’re hurting me.” I try to pull away to no avail because he only strengthens his hold. "I’ll let you go…for now. But when you come back, I’ll have you begging on your knees for mercy.”

“I will never love you, Ridge. I want to be with Maddox and I want you to tell him it’s okay to be with me.”

“My angel says she’ll never love me and that’s okay. I don’t need her love. I only need her to accept mine. I long to shower her with sunshine and warmth. Pepper her body with kisses and see her smiling face when I wake, only to see it again before I sleep. There will never be another person for me. Even if there is someone else for her.” I run my fingers down the bloody blade, wiping it clean. “What would you do, Eric?” He gurgles and chokes as blood spills from the corner of his mouth. But I know what he’s thinking. “You’re right. I have to fight harder.”

"Hey,” he says, now on his feet. “What’s our motto?” “Don’t start with me right now. I don’t need this sappy, blast-from-the-past pact bullshit.” “Say it, Ridge.” Dragging my words lazily, I say, “We will reign.” “Damn straight, we will, and no one, I mean no one, is going to get in our way. No one comes between us. We’re brothers—me, you, and Lev.” “She did, though. She came between us. She’s right in the center.” I wave the knife toward the center of our room. “A big fucking elephant sitting right there.” “She’s nothing to me.”

“She’s everything. She’s everything, Maddox. She’s the sun and the rain, and the stars and the moon. She’s classic novels and horror movies. Song lyrics and music notes.” I drop down on the couch, letting the knife fall to the floor. “She’s fucking everything.” "Don’t give up so soon, Ridge. She’ll come around eventually. Just give her some space.” My eyes shoot to his. “Oh, I’m not giving up. And even as I tell you to go get her, I’m still not giving up. Her happiness is what’s important and if you can make her happy while she waits for me, then I can deal. When I say we will reign, I mean it for all of us. Riley included. So go get her, but keep in mind, I’m going after her, too.” Maddox blows out an airy chuckle. “I’m not going after her. I already told you—” “Yes, you are. Now get the fuck out of here.” I reach down and pick the knife back up, then point it at the door. “I won’t be the reason for your misery or hers. You can try, but I can’t promise you’ll win.”

“I’m gonna fuck you up if you don’t get out of here right now. Don’t make me regret this, Maddox. And if you hurt her,” I pull the sheath off the knife, exposing the blade, “I will choose her.”

I’ve always known I feel things too deeply and love too hard. But it’s not just Riley. I love my boys, too. A life alone is not a life worth living, and I can’t imagine doing it without her, or them. My happiness is in the back seat, and they’re all riding shotgun.

“I’m not finished. You’re going to do exactly what I say. You’re my little pet now and my pets will obey. And if you tell a single soul about any of this, your secret will be the least of your worries.” “I’m not scared of you, Lev.” “You should be. I’m your worst fucking nightmare.” “I don’t have any secrets.” My voice cracks, breaths shaky. “So good luck trying to tattle on me.”

“That proves it was self-defense. You’ve got nothing.” “That’s where you’re wrong. At least four local Elders are fighting to clear the governor’s name. A lot of people didn’t like him, but a few did. This video shows a member killed him. That’s all they care about. So, Trouble,” he jerks down the zipper of his jeans, “do you spit or swallow?”
