DARK FALL (A Back Down Devil MC Romance Novel) by London Casey, Karolyn James Page A

Erik ’ s
face. It made his head snap back and actually shocked him. He ’ d been bitch-slapped hundreds of
times in his life, but never punched by a woman.
    “ Holy
fuck, ” he said, rubbing his
chin.
    Kaity winced and cradled her fist.
    “ How
did that feel? ” he asked.
    “ Good, ” Kaity whispered.
    “ What
the hell are you doing out here? How did that get here? ” Erik pointed to the finger.
    “ Whose
is that? ”
    “ I
asked you a fucking question, ” Erik said. “ Do you not
realize this is life or death here? ”
    “ Are
you going to kill me? Why did you bring me here? ”
    Erik shook his head. “ Christ. Just answer the
question. ”
    “ I
walked to the gate and a car pulled up and threw the package out the window.
Okay? I took it and then realized maybe it was a bomb or something. ”
    “ So
you opened it? ” Erik yelled.
    What the hell is wrong with this
woman? Seriously …
    “ I
know what I ’ m doing, ” Kaity said.
    She looked so shaken up.
    Erik moved slow and reached for
Kaity ’ s wrists. He took
them and pulled her up. She fell forward and crashed against his body. His arms
were around her and he squeezed tight.
    “ That
was stupid to do, ” Erik
said.
    “ Maybe.
I don ’ t know. I woke up
this morning, alone, and was going to just leave. I ’ m in the way, obviously. ”
    “ Because
of what you saw last night? ”
    “ It
doesn ’ t matter. ”
    “ You ’ re right. It doesn ’ t. ” Anger moved through Erik ’ s
body. “ Did Blaine … last night …”
    Kaity moved away from Erik. “ Yeah. He came to the room. Said
you sent him to take care of me. ”
    Erik opened his mouth but before he
could speak, the door opened and out came Miller, Gaige, Nate, and Blaine. They
ran to the table and all froze in place. Each man offered their own fuck .
Miller turned and punched a thin metal sign, knocking it off the wall to the
ground.
    “ This
is out of hand, ” Gaige
said. “ He ’ s going to kill Jonesy limb by
limb. ”
    “ Fuck, ” Miller growled again.
    “ How
did it get in here? ” Blaine
asked.
    “ Kaity
found it, ” Erik said. “ Thought it was a bomb so she
took care of it. ”
    “ You
know how to diffuse a bomb? ” Nate asked looking right at Kaity.
    Erik stepped in front of Kaity. “ What does it matter? What are we
going to do about this? ”
    “ Give
me a minute here, ” Gaige
said. “ Christ. ”
    “ Take
her the hell inside, ” Miller ordered Erik.
    Erik grabbed Kaity by the arm and
walked her back into the clubhouse. Kaity pulled and twisted, breaking free of
Erik ’ s hold.
    “ Hey! ” he yelled.
    He reached again but Kaity was
faster. She threw a barstool to the ground. Erik tripped into it, then stepped
on it, breaking one of the wooden legs. Kaity came at him, swinging at his face
again. This time, Erik moved to side and dodged the punch. He never had a woman
try to attack him before.
    She was wild.
    Erik took his chance and grabbed
Kaity by the waist. He lifted her into the air, sat her on the bar and forced
himself between her legs. With one hand, he held her wrists behind her back. It
made it so Kaity ’ s chest
pressed against Erik ’ s
chest. He tried not to think about it, but that was fucking impossible. Those
ample, firm breasts pressing so hard …
    “ Damnit
Kaity," Erik whispered. “ What ’ s with you? ”
    “ Get
off me, ” Kaity said.
    Erik kind of liked this. He liked
seeing Kaity frazzled. He liked tempting her.
    “ If
I was on you, you ’ d know
it. You want to be pissed at me because of what happened last night? ”
    “ I
have to get out of here, ” Kaity said.
    “ Then
get away, ” Erik said. “ Break my hold and leave. Come
on. Do it. ”
    Kaity ’ s
lip curled. She was breathing heavy. She tried to move her wrists, but Erik
knew his grip was like a damn vice. With his free hand he reached up and
touched Kaity ’ s cheek.
    “ You
don ’ t get it, ” he said. “ The life I live. You think
because I
