My attacker motioned with his finger for her to come to him and she walked casually over to him as he kissed her on the cheek. Hitting me like a ton of bricks he said to her, “Little sister tell your friend you are doing just fine, she seems to be worried about your well being. Isn't that sweet?” Did he just say sister?
A wave of realization ran over me like a pool of ice water. This girl wasn't my friend, not even close. She had gained my trust just to lure me into her sick brother's grasp. Oh no what had I done? I talked Steel into trusting this bitch and now I was going to die without ever seeing him again because of her.
“Brandy you were easier to maneuver than your stupid brother. Jeez didn't your parents ever teach you kids about not trusting strangers?” Her words were bitter and felt like salt being poured into an open wound. How could she be so cold and so evil? I just didn't understand that people like her really existed.
“I trusted you because I thought you had a soul! How could you be such a cold hearted bitch?” I wanted to punch her, to hurt her in every possible way the way she and her brother had hurt me. How did she know my brother and what did he have to do with any of this? Before I got to say another word she walked over to me and backhanded me sending pain rushing through my already hurting head.
I tried to sit up to defend myself or hit her back but the drugs that they had given me still had me groggy and not quite capable of functioning fully. Her brother grabbed her arm and pulled her back then scolded her. “Jessica you keep your hands off of her. If she needs to be put in her place I will be the only one that does so, are we clear?”
“Whatever Leo, fine, enjoy your time with this stupid bitch, I have a vacation to plan.” She turned on her heel and shrugged her shoulders as she walked out of the room. She left me alone with the man I now knew had a name, Leo. Not that knowing his name made me feel any better as I knew he wanted to hurt me in every way.
Steel
We parked in the woods far enough away from the warehouse that we wouldn't be discovered. The plan wasn't detailed, get in, get the girls, kill the bastards inside holding her hostage and get out. Simple enough in my book. As we were prowling around the premises looking for the best way to get inside we spotted Scarlet getting into her jeep with a big grin on her face all while waving at some Red Viper scum from a side door. That bitch.
I looked over to Gunner and he knew exactly what was going through my mind and nodded back to me. That bitch wasn't going anywhere and I would deal with her after. She had been a snake inside my own bar and was the missing piece that put the puzzle together. She would get hers very soon. Gunner walked in the opposite direction with a new target in mind and the rest of us continued forward.
The night's shadows gave us a huge advantage in getting close to both entrances without being detected. The only guy on the outside of the side entrance was too easy to take out. I laid his lifeless body on the side of the building out of sight and motioned my head toward the doors as we all prepared for what was on the other side.
With more force than I am sure was needed we stormed in the door with guns blazing. Once inside the warehouse we realized that there were only about five red vipers present in the main area but I heard screaming coming from the back of the warehouse and knew instantly it was her. My sweet Brandy.
Anger and adrenaline took over my body as I shot two Red Vipers in the head and stormed toward the sound of her screams. Bones and Tank followed close behind me as we ran down a long corridor in the back of the warehouse. I could see two doors at the end of the hallway and knew my baby was in one of them.
Her screams broke the silence again and something stronger than anger soared through my body. I had to get to her before it was too late. Once we reached the door I kicked the flimsy wood door open and nothing could prepare me for what I saw.
Brandy was tied to some type of pipe and all her clothing aside from her bra and panties was missing. She was covered in blood and bruising had already set in. Her face was swollen on the right side and her right eye was almost swollen shut. She screamed again but this time it was at me. “Behind you!” Turning as fast as I could with my gun raised I saw the bastard they call Stalker standing in the corner with a young man in front of him.
Stalker had a gun pressed to the thin guy's head. I didn't lower my gun but did glance over my shoulder when Brandy started crying hysterically. I didn't know who the guy being held captive was but I had a feeling it was her brother. Little did Stalker know, I could care less if he killed the little shit.
“You are too late Steel, And you will regret getting involved in my affairs, the Red Viper's affairs. Brandy belongs with me and you have no say in this.”
I stared daggers toward the bastard as his brain was trying to catch up with what was happening around him. There was no way out and he knew it. I backed up slowly toward Brandy needing to calm her and cover her. I didn't like seeing my feisty woman so broken and vulnerable. I wanted to punish this sick bastard for everything he had done to her.
I look back over to Bones and give him a silent order. Bones was a skilled shooter and he didn't disappoint me when the sound of his gun going off filled the room. Brandy screamed behind me but I picked up her pants from the side of the bed and wrapped my arms around her.
Bones voice seemed far away. “That you son of a bitch, is for trying to ruin my town and for hurting the girl.” When I looked back up I saw Stalker crawling on the floor tying to get to his gun. I had to give it to him, he was a tough little bastard. The Young man he had been holding snatched the gun off the floor before Stalker could get to it and without hesitation pointed it straight to Stalkers head.
“You ruined my life you piece of shit, and then you ruined my sister's. When you die I want you to think about how you will never have the pleasure of seeing her or any other woman to hurt again.” He then shot the bastard in the head as blood splattered on the wall behind him. He dropped the gun and ran toward Brandy and me.
“Don't you even think about touching her you little shit!” I said through gritted teeth. He was the reason all of this had happen and I refused to let him get close to her ever again. The look on his face was painted in pain and fear. He knew I wasn't playing.
Brandy stopped sobbing and was staring at the lifeless body of the man who attacked her on the floor. The man that she had been running from, the man that tried to break her. There was no expression on her face but I took the moment while I had her wrapped in my arms to look over her body and see how bad the damage was. Was it true, had I been too late?
I tried to help her get dressed wanting to ask her how bad it was but she shied from my touch and I felt it would be better to wait until we were alone. Bones and the other guys who came with him helped cleaned up while Tank and I got Brandy back to the clubhouse. Tech brought Brandy's brother back to the clubhouse also and I had a plan to beat his ass once I got Brandy settled. We would find out just what he knew about the Red Vipers and their dealings before hand though.
Brandy
I was wrapped up in a dark cotton blanket on Steel's bed back at the clubhouse when the tears started to flow. I was free. I was finally free from staring over my shoulder and the fear that clung to my broken heart like a plague. Steel had saved me and Tony killed the man that took so much from me. The feeling that settled in my chest was overpowering and I didn't know how to process the last twenty four hours.
What I did know though was that I would be eternally thankful for Steel and that I owed him my life. I had so much catching up to do with my brother and even though I wanted to hate him I couldn't. Bringing my mind back to Steel I knew what I wanted. I wanted him and only him. I wanted him to take me in every way a man could take a woman, physically and emotionally. I was his and I was done fighting the fear that had become my existence.
3 weeks later
The clubhouse was full of local and out of town members and their old ladies. We were having a huge barbecue to bring everyone together and I was looking forward to
meeting more of Steel's brothers. The past three weeks he had been so kind to me in helping me heal and getting to know me. The big bad biker that I thought he was when we first met was only one small part of him I had learned. He was caring, sweet, gentle, and I had fallen utterly and madly in love with him. I had every intention of showing him tonight just how much he meant to me and I only prayed he felt the same way about me.
The Sexual tension between us had only magnified and I knew without a doubt that our first time together would be like the grand finale of fireworks at the end of a fourth of July show. My heart raced inside of my chest at just the thought of our night ahead. I was so ready to show him just how much I truly was his.
Not long after everyone had finished eating and was prepping for the party night ahead Steel stood up next to me and called attention to everyone in the clubhouse. My eyes couldn't help but trail over his beautiful body. He wore jeans that hung on his hips like they were custom made just for him. He had a gray t shirt on that was a little snug on his chest muscles but that I would never complain about. And his cut, also called a cut I had learned, fit him perfectly showing him in all his glory as the determined and strong man he is.
“I couldn't be happier than I am in this moment. I am so proud to call you all my brothers and having you all here means the world to me. As your president I wanted you all to be here tonight for a special reason aside from just a family BBQ.” He then looked down at me where I was sitting and smiled.
Bone's old lady walked up to Steel with a large white box with a red ribbon around it. She smiled at me and then him as she handed it to him. Steel took my hand and pulled me to my feet. I suddenly felt nervous and could tell that blood was rushing to my cheeks. What was going on?
Standing and not knowing what to do I smiled at him. “What's going on Steel?” He handed me the box and asked me to open it. I looked hesitantly around the room and then started opening the box. Inside held a leather cut that had beautiful patch work on the back with the club's logo on it and written, 'Property of Steel'. I looked back at him with tears in my eyes. He wanted me. Truly wanted me even in the mess that I was, broken. As the first tear ran down my face he asked, “Brandy would you do me the honors of being my old lady? I want you to be by my side in the club and in every step of this life. I love you.”
Feelings flooded me that I had never experienced before and I found myself nodding hysterically and a “Yes!” escaped my mouth before I even realized it. He wanted me the same way I wanted him. I heard cheers around the room and Steel wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tighter than he had ever before.
The next hour went by so fast as brothers and old ladies came to hug me and welcome me to the family. I felt like I was a part of a family again and although I missed my old family it felt good to have a new one to hold on to and love.
I caught Steel by the arm and whispered, “meet me in our room in five.” I winked at him and a shock of excitement lit up his eyes as a huge smile spread across his face. I left in route to our room and once there I decided that I would surprise Steel when he arrived and I couldn't wait.
Steel
I felt better than I had ever felt before. I had the woman I loved and she now was my old lady. I never imagined I would have an old lady until much later in life but I suppose life had other plans for me. When she whispered in my ear to meet her in five I couldn't help but readjust my pants as my cock twitched with excitement.
It had been forever since I had gotten laid and the desperation my body felt around Brandy only intensified daily needing to claim her and own her. I knew I had to take my time though because I wanted her to want me the same way I wanted her and I knew she needed to heal first. I knew she would come to me when she was ready. And judging by the look in her eyes before she left me a few minutes ago she was finally ready.
It took will power not to follow her but I made myself wait the full five minutes and then set out for our room to claim my prize, my woman. Nothing could prepare me for what I would find beyond the closed door in front of me. I took a deep breath as I opened the door.
There she was, laid naked across our bed wearing only the cut that I had made for her. I stared too long but I couldn't help it. I needed to photograph this image in my mind permanently. She was stunning in every way and she was mine. Something inside of me exploded like I finally knew exactly what my purpose was in life, to make this woman happy and feel safe. I was home and she was my safe house.
