  Four Bikers & A Witch

  Cheryl Dragon

  When you’re born to be bad, kinky sex and fighting evil is like riding a Harley.

  Valerie grew up in the Vegas biker culture, seeing the tempting and dark side. Now a nurse, she can’t escape her past. Axle and Rebel Herth were kicked out of the biker gang as teens and, along with their boyfriends, run a motorcycle shop. They’ve wanted Val for years, but she won’t date anyone in the biker world.

  They need her witch talents to help them fight the zombies that are plaguing Vegas. Val’s best with potions but the sex spell intrigues her. She learns the ropes of fighting zombies and rides motorcycles like a pro as her potion brews, but can she let her sexual guard down with the guys? Rough sex and dirty talk with four men who can easily overpower her is a huge turn on! How far will she go now that she’s hooked on these bikers fighting for good?

  Chapter One

  Valerie Berman parked her scarlet red Harley Super Glide behind Herth’s Repair Shop. Grabbing her bag from the bitch seat, she once again tried to change her automatic thinking. So much of the biker culture put women second or third after their bike… yet she couldn’t escape it.

  Going in the back door, she found her parents in the inventory area. As usual, Dad was bleeding. Looking at him with his long gray hair and tattoos, he was an old biker and Mom, with her ink and tight clothes, a biker’s old lady. Valerie rolled her eyes. She should be rebelling. Of course, with her parents, having a job and being responsible was a rebellion.

  “Seriously, you need to retire from this crap.” Val opened her bag and cleaned the cut on his arm.

  “Val, your father was defending me. Some drunken ass grabbed my boobs.” Mom smiled.

  Shaking her head, Val pressed gauze to the wound so it’d stop bleeding. Mom loved the attention and it invited danger. Some of the bikers shared women. Female groupies were one thing, but wives? Some men didn’t care. The wrong signals could cause a major fight. At least Dad had protected her. A girl growing up in a biker gang was vulnerable, but she’d made it out safely.

  “Is this the only injury?” Val asked.

  Dad nodded. “A few bruises, but yeah. My bike is messed up but the boys will fix it.”

  Axle Herth walked up from the direction of the repair room. “Everything okay?”

  Val ignored the shot of attraction she felt whenever one of the Herth brothers came around. They’d grown up in the same gang until they were kicked out as teens. They hadn’t gone far.

  She shook her head. “He should get stitches.”

  “You do it.” Mom waved it off.

  “I’m a nurse, not a doctor.” Working in the ER gave Val a sense of satisfaction and adrenaline rushes. She might’ve gone on for more education, but she didn’t want that much in student loans.

  “Just patch me up.” Dad never minded an ugly scar.

  Val dug through her bag of medical necessities. The bikers who knew her never went to the doctor. They only landed in the ER if they were scooped up by an ambulance, or Val couldn’t patch them up. This was her unofficial office.

  You never really left the biker world. Val would rather have them owe her favors than the other way around.

  “Mom, hold these. Axle, I need you to help.” Val could’ve done it herself. Still, it’d be cleaner with more hands.

  Plus the smell of grease and a hot man made the trip worth it. Axle pinched the skin tight as Val guided his rough hands. She added as many sterile strips as she could to hold the skin together. Then she covered the whole thing with a bandage. “I’ll come by next week and change the strips. Don’t get it wet.”

  “He’s got to shower.” Mom scrunched her nose.

  “Put plastic over it, like a new tattoo.” Val shrugged and closed her bag. “Don’t drink either. If you need something for pain, take a pill.”

  “Got it.” Dad’s response to anything, which meant he understood. That didn’t mean he’d actually listen.

  “I’m serious. Take it easy too. How did you get cut and crash your bike defending Mom? Sounds like a bar fight.” Val wasn’t sure she wanted to know.

  “Jousting,” Axle said.

  “Motorcycle jousting? Men.” She tried not to stare at Axle’s big muscles, teasing her from under the Herth’s Repair Shop t-shirt. His black hair was cropped short, but those brown eyes of his had depth she’d always wanted to unlock.

  She’d love to explore both of the Herth brothers. Rebel was only a year younger and looked very similar to Axle. However, his eyes were an icy blue. Now both had boyfriends who worked at the shop with them. If they weren’t bikers and gay, she’d make a move. They’d been her adolescent crush. Liking bad boys had to be in her DNA.

  Mom fussed over Dad, pressing her curves, stuffed into a leather skirt and halter top, to his side. At twenty-six, Val could wear that and look good, if a bit slutty. Sighing, Val knew her mom looked good for nearly fifty, except for the sun damaged skin. Dad still thought she was the hottest piece of ass on the planet.

  “Men.” Mom hugged her man. “No reason you don’t have one, Valerie Trixie Berman. You’ve got my gorgeous red hair and curves. A little sun and those green eyes would pop.”

  “I just burn and freckle. I got Grandma’s skin.” She avoided Axle’s eyes.

  “Four hot men right here. They’re not in a gang but they fix bikes. It’s something.” Mom gestured to Axle.

  “Let’s go. We’ll get a loaner bike from Rebel.” Dad steered Mom to the front. He knew why Axle was kicked out of the gang. A lot of things were kept secret, men from women and so on. Val had found out from the gang leader’s wife only because Axle and Rebel had been getting some lessons from her as well.

  Mom frowned at Val. “You couldn’t dress nice, at least? You look like you’re an old lady in that potato sack.”

  “They’re scrubs, Mom. I came from work.” They’d had that conversation more times than Val could count. Mom thought Val could wea
r short shorts and tight tank tops to work.

  Once her parents were gone, Val turned to Axle. “I’m so sorry about them. They’re nuts.”

  “Don’t apologize. We deal with serious bikers all the time.” Axle put a hand on her back.

  Val shivered. She tried not to think about Axle naked. “Thanks for keeping them out of trouble. I should go home. Let you guys get back to business.”

  “Actually, would you hang out a while? We need a favor. We’ll buy you dinner. We’re ordering Chinese.” Axle smiled.

  “Okay, sure.” Val shrugged.

  Smoothing her hair as she walked into the repair shop, she looked at all four very attractive guys. Val knew this wasn’t about motorcycles. Axle and Rebel were clearly brothers and sexy as hell. Sebastian was Axle’s guy, seriously into vintage bikes. His lean build and dirty blond hair made him stand out. The quietest of the group, he just nodded to her with a big smile.

  Luke was the opposite of Sebastian. Brown hair and piercing green eyes, he’d grown up in another biker gang. The guy had a huge ego and no shame. His look slanted to a bit more brutish than handsome. His confidence enhanced it.

  “What do you want?” Rebel waved the menu.

  “Orange chicken.” Val sat on a stool next to Sebastian around an empty repair table.

  Rebel sent the order on his phone and nodded. “It’ll be here soon. Sorry about your dad.”

  Val shrugged. “Idiots jousting on motorcycles. He’s not a kid anymore.”

  “Well, we’ve got experience fighting on bikes. Sometimes it’s necessary.” Luke tossed a shirt and shorts on the table.

  “What’s that?” she asked.

  “Just in case you want to change into something less clinical. The meeting could take a little time.” Rebel nudged the clothes closer to Val. “If you don’t like those, grab anything off the racks you want. The scrubs look hot.”

  “Vegas is hot. The scrubs keep blood and other fluids off me. The fun of being an ER nurse.” She grabbed the clothes and went to the ladies room. The shirt was the right size, even though she would have grabbed a size bigger to hide her cleavage. The shorts were denim and made her feel terribly on display. Her long legs were a feature other women envied. Scrubs hid everything well.

  Pulling her hair out of the clip that was part of her work wardrobe, she combed her fingers through it to cool off. The curls looped down to her mid-back. Glancing in the mirror, it looked like she was primping to get their attention. Mom would absolutely approve. Tugging her hair into a ponytail, she managed to clip it that way. She looked less severe but not flirty. Her boring old clogs would kill any sexy ideas.

  Going back to the guys, she felt something more in their glances. Even out of her heavier clothes, she felt flushed. The smell of food drew her near. “That was super fast.”

  “You service bikers, you get good service.” Rebel smiled and handed her the orange chicken.

  “Egg roll?” Axle offered.

  “Thanks. So what is all this about? More vampire problems?” She opened her chopsticks. Luke set a diet soda in front of her and Val smiled. It’d been a while since Vegas had had a paranormal invasion.

  “No. Something new. These things we can’t really handle on our own,” Sebastian said.

  Val had trouble believing that. Sebastian was good at the pagan stuff. Val, Axle and Rebel had been intrigued by the private classes in Wiccan religion the biker leader’s wife had taught them as kids. Back then, they’d had no idea why she’d chosen them. Val kept in touch with her, and now understood it was that woman’s way of rebelling. She embraced her feminine powers, and Val tried to follow that path.

  Mom and Dad didn’t need to know their daughter was a respected witch in the local Wiccan coven. The guys couldn’t be seen there and keep their clients. She knew they’d found some online coven. They rarely included her because what they did was dangerous. When the vamps had moved into Vegas, the guys had gone on the attack. They hadn’t needed her then. Was this a set up?

  “So what can’t you guys handle?” she asked.

  * * *

  “We need a witch.” Axle hated to put her in any danger or on the spot, but Sebastian had made the convincing claim that she belonged with them. Axle knew he and his brother had been crazy for Val since they were kids. Sebastian was a romantic and believed she was their pagan goddess, while Luke loved sex with girls or guys.

  “Okay, what for?” She finished her soda and wiped her mouth.

  Axle had to admit she looked like an earth goddess even when she didn’t try. The woman ate, not trying to be a stick figure. She also rode a Harley instead of sitting behind a guy.

  “Zombies.” Rebel tossed her a fortune cookie.

  “Zombies? How can you tell them from the tourists?” Val smiled.

  The guys laughed and Sebastian took over. “You know we’re part of that online coven, Pagan Warriors Against Evil Paranormal. The more I’ve learned about the history of it, the more I believe we need the right woman to help us. A witch to connect us to the powers of life.”

  Val unclipped her hair and ran her fingers through it. Axle wondered if she knew the arousing effect that had on the men. Probably not. She seemed content to believe the men were gay, and she was simply a Wiccan resource. Now she’d have to face the fact that she was very wrong.

  “Okay, I understand that ancient pagans worshipped the sacred feminine, the givers of life. The key to transcendence was the union of male and female. That doesn’t mean men being with men isn’t hot or just as spiritual,” Val said.

  “We think so, but we like both.” Luke leaned on the table.

  Val’s deep green eyes pinned each guy. Then she looked at the table. “So is this about sex or zombies?”

  Sebastian chuckled. “We’re not trying to make you do anything you don’t want. We’d never do that.”

  “We know you’re not into bikers. We’re not in any gang. Our goals aren’t to raise hell.” Getting kicked out of the gang as a teen was the best thing that had ever happened to him and his brother. Their mom had stayed behind with the stepdad who was deep into the biker world. An aunt had taken the boys in and made them go to school. They’d both gotten into a mechanics program and wanted independence -- like bikers but not the gang life.

  “I know you guys aren’t out there fighting. Are you serious that you’re all bisexual? I mean -- I thought…” Val rubbed her lightly freckled forehead. “How does that fit into the zombies?”

  “The zombies are turning people: drunken tourists and the homeless. It’s getting out of hand faster than we can kill them the old-fashioned way. We don’t mind the physical fight but we need some more powerful intervention. I’ve found a spell that’ll help up our power, but it’s based on energy and…” Sebastian looked to Axle.

  “Sex based. The union of male and female charges us to fight better. But we’re hoping you can figure out something else.” Axle shrugged.

  Val nodded. “I’m not much of a spell caster. Potions are my thing. I’ve never researched zombies, but I’ll get on it. As far as the sex, you don’t really need me.”

  “What?” Rebel asked. “You’re the only one who can make this happen.”

  “Please. There are plenty of women who’d go for you guys. It doesn’t have to be a witch. Sebastian is good with spells. He knows more about pagan lore than I do.” Val’s cheeks were pink.

  “You hate the biker thing that much? Come on, we agree on you. This is what works. You’re our goddess.” Axle leaned in and kissed her cheek.

  “She’s attracted to us.” Luke hugged Rebel. “Don’t worry. It won’t be like some biker gang pile on. We enjoy men too. Without the feminine, we lack a focal point. We’re not going to use you.”

  Her face scrunched adorably, and Axle wondered if she’d bolt.

  “There’s no pressure. If you’re not into being with four guys, it’s okay. We’ll figure out something. We need your help with the zombie potion at least. You’re the only woman this cou
ld work with,” Axle said.

  “Yeah, you ride. You know where we came from. We’re never going to fit in exactly anywhere. You have that option, but would you be happy with some boring guy?” Rebel asked.

  “Okay, but no spell will work if we’re operating off lust or the ends justifying the means. We can base it on friendship and attraction. I trust you guys. If you aren’t pure of heart, it’ll backfire. The spell can go ugly.” She looked at Sebastian.

  “I’ve explained that to them. They’re sure. We all love and respect you as a friend, at least. You need to be certain.” Sebastian put his hand on hers.

  “Then we have to do a test drive to be sure.” She licked her lips.

  “Test drive?” Axle liked the sound of that.

  “Sex without the spell. Prove to me you’re really into me. If it feels right, we can try it with the spell before you go zombie hunting next time. When should we do that test drive?” Val smiled.

  That sexy smile sent arousal coursing through Axle. She was into it, even if she didn’t want them to think she was. “No time like tonight. The shop is closed up. It’s midnight, time for bed.”

  She didn’t move. “You’re all really bisexual?”

  Axle slid an arm around her waist. “We’ll prove it. Don’t worry about that.”

  Chapter Two

  Kicking off her clogs, Val sat on the big bed in the guys’ apartment over the shop. Rebel and Luke were undressing each other to one side while Axle and Sebastian were doing the same on her other side. It was almost too good to be true. The brothers had been her crush since she was twelve.

  The other two men she’d known for the last few years. Hot and hard-working, she trusted them both. Val’s relationship with Sebastian was closer. Luke had more traditional biker characteristics. At least he directed them to the paranormal fight. She could admit she trusted them, lusted after them -- even loved them as friends -- but had always believed they were into men only.
