Romance Contemporary | Romance Erotica Sensual

Laurie is a bad relationship. She has noticed that her boyfriend Donovan is trying to control every aspect of her life from the what she wears to the place she lives and works. When Donovan's tastes in the bedroom begin to turn abusive, she knows she needs to get out...and now. However when Laurie tries to break things off with Donovan, his possessive nature comes out and he assaults Laurie in the parking lot of a local bar.

When a stranger steps in to help, knocking Donovan unconscious, Laurie is swept away from the scene on the back of a motorcycle. Her newly found freedom is short lived when she finds herself kidnapped by the nomad biker that came to her rescue. Only now they have joined his friends in a remote cabin. Unable to leave, Laurie is not the least bit grateful as well as totally clueless as to the danger she will be in if she does leave.

Steele, the considered biker leader, and the guys are out celebrating his birthday and keeping an eye on Craig's sister. However when he returns, Craig's sister Laurie is handcuffed to his bed. He wants her more than he has ever wanted another woman and knows that she doesn't trust him or really any man. She also doesn't really belong in his nomadic world.

With the cops on their tail and Donovan stopping at nothing to get her back, will Steele be able to let her go now that he finally gave into his desire to have her.

Riding Steele was originally written as a six part series, now published into book three of the Ready to Ride Series by author Opal Carew. Laurie and Steele are fantastic, their chemistry instantly hot. The rest of the biker gang were tough and tattooed, but also had a soft and protective side. The characters are well written and appear close. They share everything, and I mean everything! Opal Carew has become a favorite author or mine since I came across my first book by her, His to Possess. She will always be one of my go to authors for entertaining and amazing reading!

Donโ€™t miss this scorching erotic romance from New York Times bestselling author Opal Carew, now available for the first time as a complete novel! When Laurie is kidnapped by bikers, she has no idea her life is about to change forever. From the moment she meets Steeleโ€”their sinfully sexy leaderโ€”she canโ€™t deny their fierce attraction. Even though sheโ€™s completely at his mercy, his eyes soften when he looks at her, and the others in his gang know sheโ€™s strictly hands off. But the more time she spends with Steele, the more her body insists she wants his powerful hands all over her. Now sheโ€™s about to discover a new life on the open roadโ€ฆ and what it means to be part of a gang that shares everything. At first their wonton lifestyle shocks her sensesโ€”but once sheโ€™s had a taste of life on the edge, will she ever want to leave?

EXCERPT

Steele pulled up in front of the cabin Killer had arranged for them to stay at while they were here. It belonged to his brother who was out of the country for the summer, but allowed Killer to use it whenever he liked. Steele dismounted his bike, then pulled off his helmet. It had been an enjoyable evening carousing around the town. Theyโ€™d eaten in a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant with only a handful of tables, but it had the best burger heโ€™d ever eaten. Killer had recommended the place when Rip had told him how much Steele loved his burgers. Afterward, the guys had insisted on taking him to a strip club. When they first suggested it, he was worried Raven would be uncomfortable, but he should have known better than that by now. The woman seemed up for pretty well anything. In fact, he was surprised she hadnโ€™t starting stuffing bills in strippersโ€™ G-strings. He was pretty sure it had fired her up, though. On the way back, as he watched Rip riding behind him in his rearview mirror, he was pretty sure she was stroking Ripโ€™s cock through his jeans as they drove. Seeing that, after watching the naked gyrating women at the club, had him pretty f##king hot, too. He hoped that now that they were back at the cabin, that Raven would be up for a good f##k with all of them. Or even a special birthday f##k just for him. But when Raven climbed off Ripโ€™s bike, Rip tugged her into a deep kiss, his hands cupping over her round ass and pulling her tight to him. Then he grabbed her hand and pulled her toward the door. Steele and the others followed them inside. โ€œSee you guys tomorrow,โ€ Rip said as the two of them scurried up the stairs. Rip had met Raven when theyโ€™d passed through his hometown for a wedding a few weeks ago, and heโ€™d fallen head over heels for her. Her real name was Hayley, but Rip had dubbed her Raven because of her glossy black hair, and the name had stuck. Steele had never seen Rip happier, and Raven seemed to be living on cloud nine, too. She had blossomed since sheโ€™d joined them a few weeks ago, and Steele had a feeling sheโ€™d be around for quite a while. He sighed and walked into the kitchen, then grabbed himself a glass of water and downed it. Not as good as a cold shower, but helped his parched throat. Shock grabbed a few beers from the fridge. โ€œWant one, birthday boy?โ€ Steele leaned against the counter, his cock aching. โ€œNaw. What I want requires an available female.โ€ Shock chuckled. โ€œYou and me both. Too bad Raven and Rip took off so fast.โ€ He shrugged. โ€œBut they deserve alone time, too.โ€ No one could argue that both Rip and Raven werenโ€™t generous with her favors. โ€œThatโ€™s the truth.โ€ Steele filled his glass again, halfway, then downed it. โ€œWell, the guys and I are going to play some cards. Iโ€™d ask you to join us, but maybe the best thing for you to do is to turn in.โ€ He grinned. โ€œYou can go enjoy your birthday present.โ€ One of the gifts the guys had given him was a couple of porn flicks, and the master bedroom had a TV and Blu-ray player. Steele chuckled, then pushed away from the counter and headed up the stairs. Getting some sleep was a good idea. Then heโ€™d get up tomorrow and just enjoy the sunshine and the beautiful lake beside the cabin. As he walked up the stairs, he slid his hand over the inside pocket of his jacket to feel the two Blu-rays there. But he could put off sleep for a little, just to relieve the tension. A sound jarred Laurie from the light, fitful sleep sheโ€™d fallen into and she clutched the big fluffy comforter closer around her with her unbound hand. She was covered from head to toe, peering out from inside the cocoon. Was the biker coming back to take her? The door opened and the light flicked on. In the doorway stood an even bigger, tougher looking biker. He didnโ€™t even glance her way, just closed the door behind him and stripped off his black leather jacket. He pulled something out of the pocket and tossed the garment on the dresser, then opened the doors of the armoire at the end of the bed to reveal a big TV. He turned it on, then put a disc in the player below it. Images of naked people appeared on the screen. It was obviously lead-in credits for a porn film. He watched for a few moments, then pulled his T-shirt over his head, revealing bulging muscles and a snake tattoo coiling around his bicep then across his chest. Her heart raced as he unzipped his jeans and dropped them to the floor, then stepped out of them. She held her breath when she saw him hook his thumbs in the elastic of his boxers, then push them down. Oh, God, he was going to get into bed with her and . . He was going to force her toโ€” Her breath caught when he stood up. God, sheโ€™d never seen a cock that big. Sheโ€™d never even imagined a cock that big. Even though it was just starting to swell with need, it was gigantic. And frightening. Impressive. And intimidating. He turned toward the bed and she sucked in a breath. His eyes narrowed as his gaze jerked to her. โ€œWhat the hell?โ€ He grabbed the covers and tossed them back, ripping away her only protection. Steele stared at the woman lying in his bed. The sight of her long, shapely legs and slim, but curvy body sent blood straight to his groin. She shifted back and a chain clinked. Thatโ€™s when he realized one of her wrists was handcuffed to the headboard. Fuck, this was why Shock had suggested he turn in. Not to watch porn, but to enjoy the birthday present awaiting him in his bed! He smiled. โ€œWell, hello there.โ€ Should he slide his cock in her sweet, luscious mouth first, or glide into her hot, melting pussy? What the f##k? She was here for the night. He could f##k her right now, relieving his ache, then have her revive him with a blow job and start all over again. He chuckled and climbed into bed beside her, then shifted closer. He reached for her hand to pull it to his cock, wanting to feel her soft feminine fingers wrapped around him, but as soon as he touched her, she jerked away. โ€œNo, please . . .โ€ Panic flashed in her wide, blue eyes and she was practically panting in fear. โ€œWhat the f##k?โ€ Then he saw the sparkle of diamonds around her neck. It was the choker Craigโ€™s sister had received as a gift from her boyfriend at the bar earlier tonight. What the hell was going on here? Steele rolled away from her and sat up, placing his feet on the floor. He stared at the frightened woman, who was sucking in air, panic showing in her widened eyes. He raked his hand through his hair. โ€œHow the hell did you get here?โ€ Someone started pounding on his door. โ€œSteele, itโ€™s Wild Card.โ€ Then the door swung open and Wild Card burst inside. โ€œI fell asleep on the couch. I didnโ€™t mean to . . .โ€ His gaze fell on Steeleโ€™s naked form, then darted to the woman in the bed. Then he shook his head, holding up his hands, palms toward Steele, in a defensive gesture. โ€œSteele, you gotta listen to me.โ€ Anger surged through Steele and he lurched to his feet. โ€œWild Card, what the f##k did you do?โ€ โ€œI didnโ€™t mean toโ€”โ€ Steele strode toward him. โ€œHow the hell did you miss the fact that the plan was not to kidnap the woman?โ€
