Doug tenses as FIM nods. “I’ve never pulled a beer in my life,” Doug says.
“Well, come back now and I’ll teach you, brother,” Knucklehead says. He pulls Doug up by the scruff of his neck and drags him behind the bar. I laugh because Knucklehead—
who’s young, nineteen I think—is tallish but scrawny in comparison to Doug’s six foot and bulky muscles. It’s comical watching a kid drag a thirty-something monster away.
“So do you think you guys will fit in here?” I ask FIM and he looks at me and smiles.
“I think we’ll get along just fine.”
I clink my beer stein with him as we chuckle watching Knucklehead with Doug as he fusses about him pouring a beer the wrong way.
A high pitched whistle echoes through the clubhouse and I wince as it pierces my eardrums.
“Emergency church,” Dad calls out.
I knew this would be coming sooner or later. We currently have no Vice President—that’s a problem.
“That’s my call. Have fun with those two,” I say gesturing with my head toward the bar to FIM.
He chuckles and nods as I stand up and walk with my beer toward the assembly room. Taking my usual seat halfway down the table, Dad sits at the head, Jigsaw to his right and the seat to Dad’s left is unmistakably empty. It’s so weird to see Ghost, our VP not there. It still doesn’t seem right that he’s gone.
Dad bangs his gavel as everyone takes their seats and the church doors are closed to the others inside the clubhouse rooms. This meeting is for certain members only. Only the trusted full patched and ranking members are allowed into private conversations such as these.
“Right, I’m sure you all know why we’re here. Ghost fell. He was the VP and this leaves us without one. Now, I want to make it a club vote as to who we promote as the next VP. I want you guys to nominate candidates—”
“Steel,” Techie says before Dad can finish.
I notice Chops straighten in his seat as a resounding “aye” reverberates around the room.
Dad smiles as does everyone else, excluding Chops, as Dad bangs his gavel. “It’s decided, with an overwhelming yes vote. Steel, you’re the new VP. Congrats, kid! I knew you’d do me proud one day.” He kicks the seat to his left out and tilts his head toward it.
The brothers all cheer and start clapping as I stand up, my heart beating ferociously against my chest. Never thought this would happen in a million years, I thought Chops had this in the bag.
Each step my boots take on the floor my heart pounds a little harder. My breathing is short and sharp. As I walk toward the VP chair I’ve only ever dreamed of sitting in, a smile crosses my face.
This is happening.
This is actually happening!
I’m becoming the Vice President of The Satan’s Savages MC, to run alongside my father. It’s everything I’ve ever wanted. Life doesn’t get better than this! I look down at the chair and turn to sit down into it. My arse hits the cushion, and I sink into it leaning back into the high back of the wooden seat. I smirk as I look at my brothers and Dad leans in and slaps my shoulder.
“Well done, kid!” Dad moves his hand out to me turning it over. He opens his fingers to reveal the white patch embroidered with the black words V. President.
A shiver runs down my spine in excitement. I smile wide and take it from Dad then look down to Techie, who nods his head. He knows how much I’ve wanted this, he’s my best friend after all. The guys all cheer and bang their hands on the table as I chuckle and nod at them.
“Thanks, guys, it means a lot that you all trust me with this.”
“We wouldn’t want anyone else, Steel,” Lookout states with a wink. I do notice Chops huff and shake his head seeming displeased.
“Right, well, we need to start thinking about what we’re going to do about the 5113ers, but that can wait for another time. Right now, I need to get wasted and balls deep into some club girl pussy,” Dad says and I cringe as the others cheer and laugh.
He bangs his gavel and we stand up to leave the assembly room. Dad grabs my arm stopping me, and I turn back to look at him.
“Kid, I’m honoured to have you as my number two and by my side. You’ve made the brothers love you enough to want you to lead them. You’re continuing the legacy. You’re fighting for the memory of Tyson and Byron, and for that I’m proud of you.”
I tense up thinking of my brothers, my actual brothers by blood, who died when they were young. I swallow hard thinking of Mum and how even though Dad is proud right now if Mum knew what was happening, she’d be utterly disappointed.
“You okay?” Dad asks.
I take a breath. “Yeah, just thinkin’ about Mum.
Dad tenses and stiffens his stature pursing his lips, his glare turning hard. “Don’t mention her again. She left us. After everything… she left us. She doesn’t deserve your thoughts, Dylan.” He turns and storms out of the room.
Closing my eyes, I run my hand through my hair and down to the back of my neck grabbing it slightly to ease the tension. “Fuck,” I murmur and exhale as I open my eyes to the now empty assembly room.
***
The party is in full swing and it’s getting quite late. I’m pretty sure it’s close to two or three in the morning and the club girls are just arriving from their night at Strapless. Sure, we’ve had others here to fill in the gap while they’re away, but the Strapless girls are the best performers. So most of us have waited till they arrive to get our fill. Lunar walks in and spots me sitting down with Techie on the bean bag sofa. She smiles as she comes over and plants herself down on my lap.
“Hey there.” I grin at her as her eyes look down at my cut then open wide. She pulls back and screams, startling me and gaining the attention of everyone around us as she jumps up and then straddles me forcing her lips to mine. I chuckle against her lips as I kiss her back wondering what the fuck is going on. She pulls back panting while her hands grip either side of my shirt.
“Oh my fucking fuckknuckle God, Steel!” she says excitedly.
I laugh as Techie raises an eyebrow and stares at her shaking his head.
“Okay, you gonna actually talk some sense at some stage, darlin’?” I ask moving my hands to her arse pulling her so her pussy is right over my cock.
She rolls her eyes and points to my VP patch and then shoves my chest hard. I’m pushed back into the seat as Techie laughs next to me and continues to drink his beer.
“You just shoved the VP of the Virginia Satan’s Savages, Lunar. You wanna tell me why?” I ask turning to look at her and watching as a grin plasters all the way across her face.
“Because you… you fucking arsehole should’ve told me you’ve been promoted. I thought we were friends, huh?” she asks crossing her arms over her perky tits.
I chuckle rubbing my face. “And friends shove each other, do they?”
She smirks and nods. “Too right they do, fuck face.” She brings her hands up to shove me again, but this time I see it coming and grab her wrists holding them tight. She smirks as I stare in her eyes while using my infamous glare on her.
“You need to remember who it is you’re dealin’ with Lunar. I’m not someone who’s supposed to be shoved around by club whores.”
“Yeah, well, I’m not just any club whore. I’m your club whore.”
I tighten my grip on her wrists pulling her hands around her back, virtually restraining her as she whimpers slightly. “Know your place woman! Don’t shove me again! Especially in front of my brothers, or you’ll be out on your arse whether you think you’re mine or not. Good club girls don’t hit their men, darlin’,” I say.
“Good club girls don’t make friends with their men either. I’m an exception.”
I huff and lean in biting her bottom lip. “Yeah, well, be careful woman. One day I might hit back.”
She groans rocking her hips into my cock. “Yeah? Well, maybe I’d like it,” she says waggling her eyebrows up and down and I can’t help but chuckle.
“Yeah, that’s why you love me, and would never get pissy at me for shoving you.”
I roll my eyes. “Yeah, fuck you.”
She laughs and brings her hand down to touch the VP patch. “In all honesty, I’m a little in awe of you right now, Steel. I knew you’d make it one day. Soon you’ll be the Prez. All the way to the top.”
I shake my head and scoff. “No way, I’m not thinking that far ahead. And anyway, that means Dad’s either dead or retired, and I don’t like either of those scenarios. So let’s not get ahead of ourselves.”
“Sure thing. Now you just need an Old Lady by your side, to make that patch complete.”
I tense up and look away from her swallowing hard. Shaking my head, I take in a deep breath.
An Old lady?
Fuck!
I’m definitely not ready for that.
I know that Lunar sees us going that way, and I guess that’s where we are headed. But she’s young. We’re both young, I’m only twenty-four. I like her, but there’s no love here, it’s more of a strong friendship mixed with a shit-ton of lust. I know that Lunar is the girl I’ll probably end up with when all is said and done, but I don’t want to head down that path right now. I can wait, even though I know she wants it to start happening sooner rather than later.
I look up and Crash is sitting on the pool table with Amie riding him. Behemoth is in the corner pashing on with Skye. The Penetrator is finger banging Jess and, to be honest, there’s so much sex filled tension going on in this room that I just want to go to bed and get out of the porn-filled room.
“Let’s go to bed, yeah?” I ask turning and looking back at Lunar.
She smiles and nods as I stand up and carry her toward the hall.
“Have a fun night,” Techie calls out and I look back and smirk.
“You okay? You seem weird now?” Lunar asks while leaning in and kissing my neck.
“I’m fine darlin’, but I’ve had a massive day. Let’s just sleep tonight. Yeah?”
She pulls back and looks at me as I carry her through my door and close it behind me with my foot. “You wanna cuddle?” she teases and I nod with a pout. “Okay, let’s cuddle. But naked. I still wanna grind my arse against your giant cock.”
I throw my head back laughing as I launch her onto my bed.
CHAPTER FOUR
My muscles are aching from the tension of yesterday’s drug deal gone south. I pull in on my Hog to the shopping complex car park for the mandatory stopping point to pick up some more riders for the Annual Christmas Toy Run for charity. It’s the beginning of December and we may be bad boy bikers, but we like to give back to the community every now and then, especially for sick kids. This was my idea much to Dad’s disgust, so only a few of us are participating. Dad isn’t obviously, but Techie, Lookout, Behemoth, Ryder, Jigsaw and, of course me, all thought it was a worthy cause.
I bring my bike to a stop and the other guys pull up next to me. I jump off to rest my monkey butt. Pulling off my lid as the other guys chat amongst themselves I look across the main road to see a brilliantly coloured childcare centre. The colours are very intense, so it’s no wonder it caught my attention. I chuckle to myself at the brightness of the centre that’s invading my senses. The noise from the midday traffic hums as the engines of the random cars drive along the mildly busy street.
“God damn, my arse is chafing in these fucking leather pants,” Lookout says gaining my attention. A car horn honks and I look back toward the childcare centre. My heart drops in my chest and my eyes open wide as fuck when I see a little boy running from the centre toward the main road.
“Fuck!” I turn my heels and bolt to the road not even bothering to say anything to my brothers. If a truck comes or even a car, this kid’s gonna be road kill! The child runs onto the road and a car swerves to dodge him, honking his horn loudly.
“Stop!” I yell out, but he laughs and continues toward me.
I burst through the traffic not even looking. A car slams on its brakes and narrowly misses me as I jump out of the way and keep running toward the kid. I’m almost at him when another car slams on the brakes and the kid runs straight into my arms. Picking him up, I shelter him from the car as I turn my back to it. The horns honk wildly as the screeching of the tyres start to invade my ear drums. I tense my body waiting for the impact and it nudges me just enough to make me have to take a step to the side. Luckily, the car stopped with sufficient time to disperse most of the impact.
Taking a deep calming breath as the kid giggles in my ear, I can’t believe what’s just happened. My heart’s racing fast and I can’t think as the driver hurtles abuse at me through his open car window. I walk with a slight limp from the road onto the footpath toward the child care centre holding the kid tightly.
I ain’t letting him go for nothing!
Suddenly, frantic screaming reaches my ears. I look up to see a sea of red hair racing toward me with a flurry of hands, she’s screeching at the top of her lungs.
Her piercing screams grates my ears, but I look down at the kid and he’s smirking up at me showing all his pristine little white teeth against his chocolate skin.
“What you doing buddy? You could have been killed?” I say and he chuckles.
“Bikes and toys. I want toys, and bikes go fast,” he says and I puff my cheeks out and push the air out of my mouth not knowing what to say to that.
“Well, what about the cars dude. They could have fuckin’ run you over!” I tell him.
He looks at me and his smile falters. “Then I go fuckin’ splat.”
My laugh echoes over the woman who’s now reached me and is pulling the child from my arms forcefully.
“Oh my God, Jackson. Don’t you ever run onto the road again. Your mother would’ve killed me. No, she probably will kill me anyway.”
“‘Cause then I go fuckin’ splat,” Jackson repeats and her eyes open wide.
“Jackson, where on earth did you hear that language?”
It’s only now that I look at her completely for the first time and she absolutely knocks me off my feet. Her flaming red hair accents the slight spatter of freckles running across her nose, makes me want to grab her hair and hold her tight while I fuck her into next Sunday. My heart is racing so hard, as she runs her hands all over the little boy. Fuck! I wish her hands were on me. My cock twitches and flexes along the seam of my jeans. Exhaling, I look at her beautiful sparkling sapphire blue eyes that I could get lost in for days.
What the fuck am I thinking?
This woman is stunning, and even though she was screaming like a banshee, I want to hear her voice over and over again for the rest of my life.
“Hello?” Her delicate probing wakes me from my trance as she looks at me raising her eyebrows like I’m completely absurd to her.
“Shit, sorry.”
“Please don’t swear in front of Jackson. He’s only four and apparently quite incorrigible as from his previous language.”
I can’t help the slight chuckle that falls from my lips. She furrows her brows frowning at me and glowering.
“You’re cute,” I say putting on my most dazzling smile.
She swallows hard and inhales sharply. “I don’t think you should be hitting on me.”
I smirk and furrow my brows. “Who says I am?”
She purses her lips and tilts her stature. “Well, aren’t you?”
I shake my head and turn my lips up. “Nuh.”
Her cocky smile falls, and her body tenses as she looks around nervously. “Oh. Sorry, I thought—”
“Relax gorgeous. You’re hot… now I’m hittin’ on you.”
Her cheeks turn bright red, and she looks away from me down to the ground. “Well, thank you, that’s nice of you.
And thank you for saving Jackson, but not for teaching him naughty words—”
“Naughty words?” I can’t hold back my laugh. “You’re adorable.”
She looks back up at me and frowns. “I’m a kindergarten teacher. We use certain words, okay? It’s a force of habit,” she defends.
“Okay, okay, don’t get your knickers in a knot.” I raise my hands in the air in surrender and Jackson does the same. I smirk at him and he smiles back at me.
“Yes, Miss Willow. Don’t get your knickers in a knot,” Jackson repeats.
I’m really beginning to like this kid.
“Jackson, stop!” she says and shakes her head.
“Hey, how’d he get out anyway?” I ask because child care centres are supposed to be impenetrable.
She exhales. “The gate. I’m not sure how, but the latch is bent somehow. And when that stupid teenager came in to pick up his brother, he let Jackson run out. He opened the faulty gate and then… well, you know the rest. We could be sued for this. Um… sorry, I don’t even know Jackson’s hero’s name.”
I smile and place out my hand for her to shake. “Steel. People call me Steel.”
She tenses suddenly, taking in her surroundings and looking down at my cut. Her eyes widen and then she looks over to the bikes all parked across the road.
“Oh, you’re a…”
“Biker?” I ask wondering why she couldn’t say it.
“Yeah.”
“Is that a problem?”
She shakes her head, taking a step back from me and her face hardens.
I know that look.
It’s fear.
I exhale and take a step closer to her. “Look, yes, I’m a biker. Does that mean I’m a pig? Yes, sometimes. Does it mean I’m goin’ to rape, pillage, and murder you? No. Willow, was it?” She slowly nods her head. “I won’t hurt you. So stop lookin’ at me like I’m goin’ to steal your innocence… I’ll only do that if you want me to.” I grin wickedly at her and her eyes grow huge as she bites down on her bottom lip trying to fight the smile that’s now forming. “Now show me this gate so I can fix it for you and stop you from bein’ sued. Hey?”
