Not all cages have bars.
The Wyverns Motorcycle Club has a reputation as fierce as its dragon emblem. Its enigmatic leader, Rogue Hellaby, has a police file so thick you could prop up a table with it. The qualifications for membership are a reckless disregard for authority and the attitude of a spitting cobra. But The Wyverns MC is not quite what it seems. All the riders have dubious histories in the military or the police—now they just serve and protect their own interests and those of Horatio Trap, the manipulative bastard who recruited them.
When Rogue receives an instruction to kidnap and hold hostage the son of a powerful drug lord, he doesn’t bat an eyelid. But Rogue has never had to deal with a captive like Orlando de la Pena. Orlando is furious—not because he’s being held prisoner, but because he’s prevented from partying at his favorite BDSM club. Rogue discovers that the only way to deal with Orlando is to become the Dom he so obviously needs. But Orlando’s father wants him back, and The Wyverns must face a battle that could cost them their lives.
Reader Advisory: This book contains scenes of light BDSM.
Publisher's Note: This story has been previously released as part of the Hard Riders anthology by Pride Publishing.
Rogue. That's a name that conjures a mental picture of a big, sexy man wearing leathers and riding a Harley. He's the head of The Wyverns MC, and for the past three years he and his boys have been taking orders from a man named Trap. It's pretty much a blackmail situation, as Trap paid off Rogue's superior officer so no charges would be filed, and, in exchange, Rogue and his club perform jobs for Trap. Each of the six men "recruited" to The Wyverns has a history with military, police, or the intelligence community. And each of them was given a "choice" between prison or joining the MC.
The latest job involves kidnapping the son of a cartel leader, and holding him for a few days. Orlando isn't exactly what Rogue expected, though. It appears that Orlando is a regular at a local BDSM club. Good thing that Rogue hasn't let his membership lapse. *grins* Orlando has never met a Dom like Rogue. Most of the Doms Orlando has played with are so intent on getting to his ass that they don't realize Orlando is subtly manipulating them. He can't do that with Rogue and it throws Orlando for a loop. And that's before the kidnapping happens!
Oh, Lu, my friend, I do love your tales. I really, really, really, hope you plan on writing more about The Wyverns because you've hooked my interest with all of these guys. Rogue is sexy beyond belief, and so hot I swear I needed a cold shower. Orlando is perfect as a snarky submissive with a ton of attitude. I'd love to see way more of these two, and the rest of the guys. Excellent addition, Lu, thank you!
