Page 41 of Love Above Law

Lining up with her entrance, I slowly slip inside, stealing her breath for a moment as I push through her barrier. I still when I feel her body tense underneath me. "Just relax, baby. Take a deep breath." Once she has relaxed enough to accommodate my size, I pulled back and push back in until my cock is buried completely inside her. As I worked her body into a steady rhythm, Leyna wraps her legs around me and tightens her thighs on my hips, finally finding the pleasure to be found beyond the pain. Dipping my head, I flick one of her nipples with my tongue before latching on to it and rolling it against the roof of my mouth. I then move to the other breast giving it equal attention.

"Lex." I feel her body quiver beneath me, then circles her hips.

I wanted to take things slow; savor the moment but as Leyna begins to match my thrusts with upward movements of her own, I become hungry—desperate to give her what she needs. My lips hover above hers and our harsh breathing echoes through the room as I drive into her. "Come for me, beautiful." My mouth dominates hers as another orgasm rips through her body. The moment her tight pussy clamps down on my cock, a tingle shoots up my spine and pleasure radiates throughout my body as I chase my own release. After catching our breathes, I lean on my elbows above Leyna. Pushing the hair from her face, I stroke her cheek. "You okay, beautiful?"

"More than okay," she places her hand on the nape of my neck, pulling me closer until my lips press against hers.

Leyna

"Are you sure you don't mind coming with me? You know you can always drop me off then come back and pick me up in a couple of hours." Lex gives me an irritated look at my suggestion. We are seconds away from pulling up to Bella and Logan's house. Today is the day my brother is marrying Alba. I knew this day was fast approaching and I've been a nervous wreck the whole drive to Polson. Alba invited Lex since she knows we are together, and she assured me Bella gave the okay. They both know how The Kings feel about Lex, but both parties have decided to put aside their differences for one day. The guys know how important it will be to Gabriel having me here, but they also know Lex is a part of the package.

"You know better than to even suggest some shit like that, Leyna. Where you go, I go. I'm not worried about your brother or his friends."

"I know. I just don't want you to be uncomfortable."

"Is this about my being uncomfortable or about you not wanting them to see us together? They already know I'm coming with you, Leyna. Sooner or later they will see us together. Whether or not they accept the fact is up to them. As for me, as long as I have my woman by my side, I don't give a shit about the rest."

Reaching across the armrest, I clutch his hand, threading our finger together. "You're right. I'm sorry for bringing it up. Let's focus on the wedding."

Pulling up at Logan and Bella's house, Lex parks alongside the other vehicles. Turning the car off, I wait for him to come around to my side and help me out. Taking his hand in mine, we make our way around the back of the house to where the guests are milling about.

"Leyna!" I hear my name shouted. To my left I see Bella jogging toward us. With a big smile, she embraces me. "I'm so glad you two made it. Alba is ready and we're almost ready to start. Wait until you see her; she's breathtaking."

"I'm sure she is," I beam. It's also then I spot my brother over Bella's shoulder. He's standing next to the lake along with Logan, Jake, and Quinn. I see the moment he notices my presence. His eyes go from me to the man standing next to me, and he visibly stiffens. When Bella follows my line of sight, she sighs and shakes her head. "We're gonna go say hi," I tell Bella.

"Sure. I'm going to see how the bride to be is doing. I'll see you two in a bit." Bella gives us a wave over her shoulder as she makes her way into the house. Turning to Lex, he squeezes my hand giving me the assurance I need.

With a nod, I straighten my back and trudge across the yard toward Gabriel with Lex in tow. "Hermano," I greet stepping up to Gabriel and hold my breath as he looks past me to the man standing directly behind me. Lex brings his body flush against my back with a possessive arm snaked around my waist. When my brother settles his eyes back on me, I see his face soften a smidge. Taking that as a good sign I step out of Lex's hold and wrap my arms around my brother. I let out an audible exhale when he hugs me back.

"Hermana. Glad you could make it," he rumbles into my ear. Stepping back, I peer up at him. "I wouldn't miss my brother getting married for anything in the world." Gabriel lifts his lips into something that resembles a smile, and I decide I'll take what I can get. What little bit of acceptance he's showing at this moment is one step closer in the right direction. When Gabriel glances behind me once again, he surprises me when he acknowledges Lex. "Taylor," he nods. He doesn't smile or offer a hand, but he's not turning him away either.

"Martinez," Lex returns with a nod of his own. Turning his attention to Jake and Logan, Lex tips his head in Jake's direction, "Delane." Then he does the same with Logan. Our little area of social gathering is undeniably tense, but all four men have taken the road less traveled and silently agreeing to be civil. I'm thankful for the truce because I would hate for Alba's wedding day to be ruined.

The ceremony goes by rather swiftly. The bride was beautiful, and her vows were spoken in perfect Spanish. Lex and I didn't stay for the party afterward. I gushed over my nephew for a bit then we took our leave. Today was a small victory, and I didn't want to push things further than necessary. Not wanting to stay in a hotel, Lex and I made the seven-hour drive back to Seattle, arriving back home by midnight.

Since I had Monday off, Lex and I laid in bed together where he made love to me twice before he got called into work. He doesn't talk about work, but there is something about this particular case he's working that is getting to him. I see it in the way his demeanor changes every time his boss calls. I never ask questions, or push for him to talk. Lex knows I'm here if he needs me. I guess for him, that is all he needs.

The next day Lex is at Rumors like clockwork to pick me up. No matter how much I insist he goes home after work to get some rest, he refuses to do so. Passing his usual table, I place my hand on his shoulder. Abandoning his conversation, Lex gives me his full attention. "I'm going to head on back and change. Do you want to stay a little longer with Kai?"

"No. I'm gonna hit the head while you get ready. I'll wait for you outside the dressing room."

"Okay. I won't be but a minute." I leave letting Lex say his goodbyes to his partner. Passing Dana and Maggie, I send them both a wave over my shoulder as I make my way down the stairs. Once I'm in the dressing room, I do quick work at changing out of my dress and into my black skinny jeans and low V-neck sweater. Snagging my coat off the hanger, I swing my purse over my shoulder and head out the door. The moment I step out of the dressing room, my ears perk up at the sound of Lex's voice. What's alarming is the anger I hear in his tone.

"You showing up here is unacceptable, April. First the phone calls, now this."

"Don't you miss me, baby? I mean, you can do better than some fat bitch. Don't tell me you would choose her over me."

Picking up my pace I see Lex standing at the end of the hallway and with him, a woman. The only thing I can make out in the dim hall is the top of her blonde head. The sound of my heels clicking on the floor alerts the woman to my approach. When she peaks over Lex's shoulder, baring her face, I instantly recognize who she is. She's the same blonde bitch I bumped into that day on the sidewalk in front of mine and Lex's apartment. At that moment two pieces of information click in my brain. The first being that the woman standing in front of Lex is indeed the same woman from the sidewalk. The second piece is how familiar she and Lex are with each other.

When I catch the last words that Lex spits out, I know without a doubt this is his ex. This bitch did not just call me fat.

The moment April catches sight of me, she gives me a calculating sneer right before she kisses Lex. And when her mouth touches what's mine, I see red. This puta has gone and messed with the wrong person. Cause, believe me, I am not one to be fucked with and in a flash I'm on her. "Hold this," I tell Lex shoving my coat and purse into his chest the same moment he pushes his ex away from him. My action is quick; I don't give him time to open his mouth. Using my left hand, I grab hold of April's blonde hair, wrapping it around my fist. She counters by trying to slap my face only I'm already anticipating her move. You don't spend some time around an MC and not learn a few things. Grasping the hand she was about to slap me with; I twist her arm counterclockwise then bend her fingers back, my maneuver sends her to her knees. Right where I want her. Without missing a beat, I lean down and level my face with hers. "It looks as if you can't get it through your thick skull, that Lex is not interested. So, I want you to listen, and listen well because the next time I have to say these words, I won't be as forgiving." Applying pressure, I bend her finger back a little further, and she winces. "The next time you and your diseased lips come anywhere near my man there will be hell to pay. I don't play games, and I have no problem breaking bones." Leaning down real close next to her ear, I whisper something only she can hear. "By the way. Lex loves it when this fat chick rides his big cock every night."

"Is there a problem here?" I recognize Dare's voice. With a shove, I let go of April. She stumbles back on her ass and right away starts playing the victim.
