Club Thrive: Vendetta (The Club Thrive Series Book 2) Read online

  “Yes,” I say, almost frustrated because he’s being a tease. Slowly his cock slides out of me, making me feel every inch of him as he teases me. I pout at him and he chuckles, slamming his cock balls deep back inside of me.

  “Is that what you want? You want it rough tonight?” I nod. “Say it. Tell me how you want it.”

  “I want it rough, Shane.” The good man that he is, he grips my hips and begins pounding his full length in and out of me. He’s giving it to me good, sweat is building up, and he’s panting as he holds on for my orgasm. I know he’s losing control, so I give him what he wants. Another orgasm rips through my body and my pussy starts squeezing his cock, causing him to roll over the edge as well. He slams into me one last time shaking as he empties himself into the condom deep inside me.

  Letting my legs fall to the floor, he leans over me with his cock still buried inside me and says, “That was amazing, baby.”

  “Yes, it was.” He kisses me and grabs the condom, pulling out so he can dispose of it.

  By the time he gets back, I’m already snuggled up on my side of the bed waiting for him. He slips under the covers, wrapping his arms around me, kissing me on the back of the head. “Move in with me, baby. I can’t take not seeing you all week anymore.” I turn to face him.

  “Are you sure? Are we ready for this?” He reads the panic in my eyes. He’s read me like an open book from day one.

  “Katie, I love you, baby. Of course, I’m sure.”

  “I love you too, Shane.” My smile grows.

  “Is that a yes?” I nod. “Good. We can tell your parents at dinner Sunday night.” Rolling back over, he holds me close and kisses me one last time. “Goodnight, my love.”

  Chapter 9

  Katie

  While I’m lying in bed listening to Shane snore peacefully, I think of all the things we have going on this weekend. We’re hitting the gym shortly, going out tonight, and then headed to a family dinner tomorrow. And, oh my God, he wants me to move in with him. I stare up at the ceiling with a huge smile on my face. I’m so deep in thought, I hadn’t noticed that he’s woken up and watching me. “What are you thinking about?” I jump.

  “I didn’t realize you had woken up. I was trying to lie still so I didn’t disturb you.”

  “Baby, you looked like your brain was going a million miles an hour.”

  I shrug. “It was. I was thinking about our crazy weekend and then it dawned on me how happy I am that you asked me to move in with you.”

  “I meant it, baby. I really want you here with me.” He leans down, pressing his soft lips to mine. My hands go to the side of his face, holding his lips to mine. He pulls away slightly. “Come on, let’s go workout and then I can come home and make you even more dirty.” He wiggles his brows at me. I sigh, climbing out of bed to put on some gym clothes. I’m so thankful he is a trainer because I seriously wouldn’t be half as healthy as I am without him. I’ve lost about ten pounds in the year we’ve been seeing each other, and I’m so much more toned now. He pushes me even though I don’t have half his motivation.

  “Shake that ass, woman.” He slaps my butt playfully. He’s already dressed and if I know Shane, he’ll be back in here any minute tossing an apple at me to eat on the way to the gym. Sure enough, no sooner do I slip on my sports bra, he throws an apple at me. I catch it, placing it on the nightstand and quickly finish dressing so we can take off. Eating my apple, I find him standing there with two large bottles of water and two towels. I shake my head, and we make our way down to the gym on the first floor.

  Forty-five minutes later, I leave Shane downstairs. I’m tired and sweaty from my run on the treadmill and the light weights he had me lift. I want to get upstairs and strip down to shower. I literally trudge into our room, kick off my shoes, and plop my sweaty ass face down onto the bed. Lying on my stomach with my eyes closed, I rest for a minute.

  I suddenly jump when I realize I fell asleep and Shane is now sitting between my legs. He managed to peel my shorts and panties off without waking me. “Shane,” I pant. “What are you doing?” I try to move, mortified that he’s licking me after a workout.

  “Lie still, woman.” He licks between my folds, finding my clit.

  “Shane, I’m all sweaty.”

  “Shh, you taste mighty fine to me.” He continues licking little circles around my clit. His hands are massaging my ass as he licks from my clit, over my pussy, and to my ass. I bite my lip and whimper. No one has ever gone there before. I clench my ass cheeks, shocked from feeling his tongue there. He spanks me playfully. “Don’t shut me out. It’s mine.” I’m panting as he continues licking me all over. He quickly flips me over, slides me up the bed, and presses my knees to my chest. He licks down my leg to my pussy again finding his way through my folds. He’s kissing and licking every inch of me, driving me wild. “Shane, please.”

  “Please what, baby? What do you want?”

  “Please make me come.” He gently bites the inside of my leg before his tongue attacks my clit. He’s licking and sucking it like he’s a deprived man and hasn’t had it in months. “Shane, I’m…” I trail off as an orgasm rips through me. I try to straighten my legs, but he won’t let me and it’s making it even more intense. I swear I stop breathing for a second as I fight him. His tongue wanders back down to my ass as he laps up my dripping juices. I lift my ass off the bed because I can’t believe how good that feels.

  “That’s right, baby, give it to me.” He continues to lick my hole. “Soon you’ll see how good it can be to have my cock buried deep inside there too.”

  He pulls a condom from the drawer and slips it on. My eyes go wide with concern when I realize what he’s said. “Not today, baby. I have to work you up to that.” I let out a deep breath I didn’t realize I was holding. “Right now, I’m going to bury myself deep in that warm luscious pussy of yours.” I lick my lips as he hovers over me, places his cock at my opening, and gently slides it in.

  “You feel so good inside of me, Shane.”

  “You like that, baby?”

  I nod, and he slams deep inside of me. He starts to move his hips giving me what I want. I love how he feels. No one—and I mean no one—has ever made me feel as good as Shane does. He lowers himself kissing my neck and nibbling my ear as he’s slipping his cock in and out of me. “I need more, Shane.” He picks up the pace, giving it to me a bit harder and deeper. “Yes, Shane.” I’m already on the verge of another orgasm when he puts my legs on his shoulders switching positions slightly. He’s now pounding his cock into me and it’s what I need to send me into an earth-shattering orgasm. With my legs shaking, Shane continues pumping into me a few more times until he buries himself deep inside of me finding his release.

  He lowers his body, pressing me into the bed. “I love you, Katie.”

  “I love you too, Shane.”

  “Let’s go have some breakfast and we can talk about when you want to move your stuff.” He climbs off me, slipping on his gym shorts sans underwear, and strolls out of the room. I laugh and shake my head as I climb out of bed, slipping my shorts back on. I decide not to skip the panties though.

  When I get into the kitchen, Shane is already busy chopping veggies. “What are you making us?”

  “Scrambled egg whites with these veggies,” he says without ever looking up from what he’s doing. I’m tempted to run my hands over his solid ass, but I don’t want the guy to cut himself, so I help instead.

  I’m in the bathroom getting ready for my girls’ night while Shane relaxes before he has to go to work. We’re riding in together. Lucky for me, Shane is the manager and can go in when he wants. Logan promoted him when they opened Club Heat, a new local strip club. Logan and Skyler had to spend most of their time over there building it up. He’s happy to be running the place, and he’s on salary now with benefits. He’s even considering giving up his training position, but I think he enjoys it too much.

  “I’m ready, babe.�
�� I stroll out of the bedroom wearing this knee-length aqua dress that’s a bit fitted and has sequins all over it.

  His brows quickly shoot up as I approach him wearing three-inch heels, “Really, you expect me to work with you walking around my club looking like that?”

  “Just remember, I come home with you and soon it’ll be every damn night.” I run my finger down the front of his shirt.

  “Yeah, well just make sure no one puts their paws on this.” He grabs my ass. “Because it’s mine.”

  I giggle. “Let’s go, big fella. You have to work and my friends will be at the club soon.”

  We pull up to the back of the club and see most of the staff is already here. We quickly walk in through the back entrance, and when he begins making rounds, I take a seat at the bar. “Hey, Meg,” I say, sliding into the seat.

  “Hey girl, wish I could be a part of your ladies’ night, but someone has to serve the drinks.”

  “I wish you could join us too, but there’s always next time.”

  Shane walks behind the bar. “Do you need anything, Meg?” Meg has been working at Club Thrive for a little while now. They needed some new bartenders, so Sky talked to her about leaving that dump, Dugan’s. Mitch wasn’t too happy about losing his two best bartenders, but he quickly got over it.

  “Nah, I’m good, Shane. Nolin’s in the back grabbing what we need for tonight.”

  He nods and strolls off to check on the remainder of his crew. “I have to go make sure this place is ready to open, but I’ll talk to you later.”

  “Later, babe.” As soon as the music starts, the doors open and I see Miranda come walking in. We head over to our VIP section and Shawna follows behind us, ready to take our first drink order. We both order a beer and she takes off to get it.

  Skyler and Sadie both approach us next, and I have to say for two women who just had babies a short time ago, they look amazing. “Look at these two hot mamas!” I stand to give my friends a hug.

  Sky looks me up and down. “You’re looking pretty hot yourself.”

  “Yeah, well I didn’t just give birth to a baby. Speaking of babies, how are they?” I look between the two women.

  Sadie smiles. “Laney is perfect.” We all take a seat, and she pulls out her phone to show us pictures.

  “Stephan is doing so well. He’s so big, and he even sleeps through the night once in a while.” Sky beams as she talks about her baby boy. When they found out she was having a boy, they decided to name him after her father. I thought that was pretty sweet.

  Shawna comes back with the beers and as soon as she hands them off to us, she hugs Sky and Sadie. “How you two mamas doing?”

  “Good,” they say in unison.

  “Can I get you ladies a drink?”

  “I’m still nursing so I’ll have a water with lemon please,” Sadie says.

  “I’ll have a Blue Hawaiian.” Shawna jots it down and takes off to get their drinks. Skyler adds, “I’m still nursing but I’m substituting with formula since my nanny can’t nurse when I’m not there, so it won’t kill me to have a drink. The doctor told me just to pump and dump it before I go back to nursing and with the way these things are producing, I can afford to dump some.”

  We all start laughing as Sadie pouts. “I wish I was producing like you.”

  “I’m sorry, Sadie.”

  “It’s all good. You have a freezer full and I can barely keep up. If Laney doesn’t chill soon, I’m done and she can have formula.” She shakes her head. “This baby never stops eating.”

  “They’re both adorable,” Miranda says, handing back the phone. They both thank her before Sky asks how Shane and I are doing.

  “We’re moving in together.”

  “Really? When?” Miranda asks.

  “Well he asked me last night, and we talked about it a bit this afternoon. I’m slowly going to move my clothes there and then we’ll decide what to do with my furniture and stuff. I’ll probably see if my sister needs anything and then donate the rest.” I shrug. “Oh, speaking of my sister, she’s turning twenty-one and I want to have a girls’ night for her here at the club. Can I count you girls in?”

  They all agree as Shawna is bringing another round of drinks. “I’ll get Shane to give Meg that night off so she can join us.” Sky says.

  “Oh, do you have some pull?” I ask jokingly.

  She shrugs. “I have ways of getting what I want.” We all laugh. It’s not hard, since she’s married to the owner. “Let’s go dance,” she puts her drink on the table. We all get up and follow her onto the dance floor, where we begin dancing in our own little circle. I have a feeling I’m being watched so I quickly glance around the room, but no one appears to be watching me so I go back to having fun with my friends.

  Suddenly there’s a hand on my hip, pulling me backward so my back is pressed to their front. I quickly turn to push the guy away. Shane’s hands go in the air. “It’s just me, baby.”

  I pull him by the shirt so my lips are near his ear. “You almost got punched.”

  “I’m sorry. I was watching you from the camera and wanted to come have a quick dance with you.” I narrow my eyes at him. “I want to be sure you remember who you’re coming home with.”

  My heart melts a bit at his slight insecurity. “Babe, there’s no way I can forget this amazing body.” I lick his neck while rubbing my hand up his chest.

  We both start swaying to the music, and two songs later he whispers in my ear, “I have to go back to work, but I’ll see you later.”

  “Love you, Shane.”

  He presses his lips to mine and walks away with a big smile on his face. Sky and the rest of the girls are now staring at me with huge grins on their faces. Sky grabs my arm and pulls me back to the VIP section with the rest of our crew in tow. “What was that all about?”

  I shrug. “Apparently, he felt the need to remind me just how much I love his body pressed against mine.”

  Sadie laughs and Sky shakes her head. “It amazes me how insecure these men can be.” Skyler sips her drink. “I mean Logan had the same issues, only his were a bit more out of control. We have hot men. Why would we want anything else?”

  “Um, excuse me,” Miranda says, “You ladies may have hot men, but I’m stuck with B.O.B. and he’s getting boring.”

  “Sky, I’m thinking Stone. What do you think?”

  Sky and Sadie both laugh. “Perfect,” they again say in unison.

  “Who the hell is Stone?” Miranda blurts out.

  “You’ll see.” I wiggle my eyebrows.

  The night is winding down, and we’ve had a blast. Shawna has just gone off to get us one last round of drinks while we all sit around sweaty from dancing the night away. “Okay, ladies, we need to plan our next night out, and since my sister is turning twenty-one in two weeks, I say we do it then,” I yell out while everyone is in the middle of a conversation. They start laughing and I giggle. I’m a bit more buzzed than usual but I don’t care. I haven’t been out in forever, and this feels good.

  “That’s fine with me,” Sky says.

  Sadie shrugs. “I don’t see why not.”

  Miranda says, “I want to know who this Stone guy is.”

  “You will. Are you in for the next girls’ night?” I ask her in frustration.

  “Yes, you know I am. Kara is like a little sister to me too,” she says like I’m dumb for asking.

  The music starts to get quiet, and that’s when I notice the club is emptying. Shane comes into our section. “Did you ladies have fun?”

  “Yes, babe, we did, and I need this section again in two weeks. Can you arrange that for me?”

  He looks down at me with a smirk on his face. “What are you up to?”

  I pout and say, “It’s Kara’s twenty-first birthday. What kind of sister would I be if I didn’t take her to the club?”

  He laughs. “All right, baby, it’s all yours.”

  Sky adds, “Oh, and Meg will need that night off.”

 
; He throws his hands up. “Anything else I can do?”

  “Well there is, but we’ll talk about that when we get home.”

  Poor Shane blushes. He gives me a quick kiss and says, “We’ll be getting out of here soon. The crew is getting ready to have their drinks.”

  We all make our way out to the bar so Sky can say hi to everyone. She hasn’t been in much since she was on maternity leave and when she isn’t with the baby, she’s helping at the other club.

  Miranda sits beside me. While everyone’s talking, I yell, “Hey, Stone.” He turns around, and I swear Miranda’s jaw drops. I know my friend and he’s perfect for her. He’s really well built, with broad shoulders. He has shoulder-length brown hair pulled back into a ponytail, and huge brown eyes. He’s got tats all over; although I haven’t seen most of them because they’re covered by clothing, but we’ve talked about them.

  “Sup, Katie.” He bends to give me a hug.

  “Hey, this is my friend, Miranda.”

  “Miranda, this is the latest addition to the bouncer staff at the club.”

  “Sup.” He nods at her.

  “Nice tat.” She points to some ink he has on his arm.

  “Thanks.” He gives her a huge smile, and they start talking. I listen for a few minutes as they go from talking ink to discussing how they’re single, and before I know it they’re exchanging numbers.

  I smile to myself proudly. “My job here is done.” I stand and walk over to my man. On the way, I pass Skyler. “Hey, look.” I point my chin in Miranda and Stone’s direction. They look like they’re totally hitting it off.

  “Wow, look at them,” Sky says.

  “It looks like our little family is growing,” Sadie says.

  “There’s nothing wrong with that,” Sky adds.

  Logan walks in as Shane steps up behind me. The guys shake hands, and Logan gives me a hug. “What are you guys all staring at?” Logan asks.

  “I introduced Stone to Miranda and just as I suspected, they’re totally hitting it off.”
