Gunner by Gianni Holmes
The Smoky Vale Alliance, Book 2
I’ve lived a ruthless life full of resentment.
There’s nothing and no one I loathe more than Chief Ben Witter.
I’m the president of the Blood Hounds MC, and Witter has always been a thorn in my side.
He can’t be bought. And he’s on a mission to dismantle my club.
But my obsession with hurting him has nothing to do with club business.
It’s personal.
I want to annihilate him for making the man I‘ve always loved, fall for him instead. A dead man whose ghost lingers between us.
When Witter needs help to close a dangerous case involving my club, I volunteer. Being around him is the best way to ruin him. Except our mutual hatred makes for explosive heat. The more we fight, the more we wind up beneath the sheets. Chief Witter is an addictive man. How am I supposed to still carry a grudge when I’ve fallen for him like our ex did?
Gunner is best read after Biker Daddy and Bay. Content warnings include graphic violence, baby farm, and the unaliving of pregnant women.

“I’d forgotten how fuckable you are.”
I nearly jumped out of my skin. Gunner lay on his back on my bed against the pillows with his legs crossed at the ankles and his hands rested behind his head. I glanced at the door, then at him, ignoring the lightness in my chest. From the way he’d left Riverton, I’d thought he was done with me.
“Where did you come from?”
“Watching you from across the street.”
My heart beat slow and steady. “You were watching me?”
“Got here just before you went for your run. I gotta say, Witter, for a cop, you’re not very observant.”
With him constantly on my mind and me trying to make sense of what had happened with him in Riverton, how could I be?
“You should have stayed outside. Now that you’re here, I can charge you for breaking in and entering.”
“Give it a rest. Your cock’s already turned hard since it saw me. Unlike you, it knows what you want.”
“That’s not—” Shit, it had. I resisted the urge to cover my genitals. He would only make more fun if I did. “Wait a minute. How the hell did you get past my dog? What did you do to Zeus?”
“Zeus is fine. If I can get you right where I want you, do you think I can’t get your dog to trust me?”
“Zeus isn’t an ordinary dog. He’s a retired police dog.”
I marched over to the closet and flung it open. If he kept staring at my naked body, I might not want to put clothes on. I’d never been so openly objectified and lusted after. It wasn’t all bad. A man could get full of himself with that sort of attention.
“He’s still a dog,” Gunner said. “You play with them a few times, bring them treats, and suddenly you’re their best friend.”
I snorted. “But that implies you’ve been around Zeus before.” Yanking the T-shirt from the closet, I stared at Gunner. “When were you ever around Zeus?”
“Come on over here, and I’ll whisper it in your ear.” He patted the bed beside him. “Why are you putting on clothes anyway when I’m just going to take them off you?”
“We’re not having sex.”
“Wanna bet? Because you still owe me at least a blow job. One without all the teeth this time.”
“I’m sorry if my last blow job didn’t satisfy you, but when you’re that fucking big, you should expect a little teeth, if you even fit in the first place. And stop changing the subject.”
I yanked my shirt over my head. Underwear? Nah, that meant walking across the room, and I wouldn’t parade around in front of him naked. No matter how much my ego encouraged it. I grabbed a pair of shorts from the shelf and put them on.
“You’re so stubborn.” Gunner sighed. “It’s all fine. I don’t mind taking them off when we’ve finished this conversation.”
