"Would you be offended if I passed?" April seemed surprised but I saw her relax a little as she made her way over to the bed.
"Fine by me, what's your story Saviour? Are you married?" April rummaged in the bedside cabinet and pulled out a box of B&H, opening the lid she offered me a fag. I nodded and perched myself on the opposite side of the bed before taking one. April held out the naked flame for me to light my fag and I puffed happily, letting out a loud sigh as I lay on the bed.
"No girlfriend, wife or kids. I have an aunt in a care home back in Hertford and I'm currently living in a bedsit living day by day." That was the story that I had rehearsed and was what I would share with everyone at the club. That way I had no ties to Essex, another club or any family members that could be held to ransom. "And what's your story? What's your relationship with Polar?" I took another drag and flicked the ash into the ashtray that April had now positioned between us on the bed. Her shocked expression took me by surprise, "Don't act coy, something's going on with you two and the way Onyx was winding Polar up, I'd say that the whole club are aware of it."
She sniggered and took a long drag as she pondered her response, "It's difficult."
"It always is if there's a man and woman involved." I rolled over so that I was now laying on my front.
"I'd wondered if it would be easier to become a lesbian," April sniggered as she stubbed out her fag.
"So what's up with him, won't he take you as his old lady?"
"How'd you guess that?"
"It's the age old story. Club girl falls for biker, biker won't make her his old lady but is quite happy to shag her and treat her like one without a label."
She nodded her head, "Polar has made it quite clear that I'll never be his old lady because I'm a club whore, not that I've ever asked to be. He treats me like one and expects me to act like one and for the past two years no other guy has been allowed to touch me."
"Until me."
She nodded, "Until you."
"But did you see how annoyed he got when I selected you?"
April nodded her head, "Yeah because everyone has understood the unofficial rules he's set."
"And now I've come here unaware and broken those rules. Fuck! Talk about how to make friends and influence people."
April sniggered, "He'll get over it eventually."
"Do you love him?" I already knew the answer before I asked the question but I wanted to know how she felt about him.
April blushed, "I always have but I know there'll be no happy ending for us. I also know that he'll never let me leave, alive anyway."
What was I to say to that? He seemed like a fucking lunatic to me but she had obviously seen something to be worthy of her wanting Polar to be her old man.
"So what is it that makes him so attractive, I'm intrigued? Is it his charismatic personality and that wicked sense of humour?" I asked sarcastically.
April swatted my arm, "He has a very caring side but he doesn't show it to everyone." She gushed and I knew that he'd won her over completely.
"So how come you ended up here?" She seemed bright enough to be able to do something other than lay on her back.
"I didn't do well at school so my options were limited. A friend of mine was working as a stripper in a local club which the guys frequented, we got chatting and one thing led to another and they offered me a job. I accepted and haven't looked back since."
I nodded understanding her story, I'd seen it before and now she had the added predicament of falling in love with one of the arseholes.
"Can you do me a favour?" I asked rising to my feet.
April looked at me puzzled, "Depends!"
I shuffled a little uncomfortably, I'd never blown a bird off and I couldn't believe what I was about to ask her. "Could you pretend that we've shagged?"
April raised her brows and chewed on the inside of her mouth trying not to laugh.
I sniggered and shook my head, "I know what that sounds like."
"Do you?
"Yeah I do, now will you cover for me?" I asked intrigued as to what she might say.
"Am I so abhorrent that you wouldn't want to shag me?"
"You know that's not the case, you're gorgeous but I've got a lot going on without muddying the waters further."
April rose from the bed, "Yeah I'll cover for you. Were you a good or bad shag though?" she asked me humorously.
"Cheeky bitch!"
I enjoyed the banter with April, she was a breath of fresh air and I was hoping that I at least may be able to have an ally between these walls although she loved the man that I was going to kill. I spent the next half an hour listening to her stories about certain club members and the do's and don'ts that may just save my life long enough for me to be able to carry out my plan. I didn't want to like her, building relationships in this place would only make matters worse but she was very likeable and told it how it was.
"Okay, I think we've been in here long enough." I said glancing at my watch.
April sniggered, "It's been a pleasure Saviour, you're a true gentlemen."
I smiled as I opened the door and glanced quickly over my shoulder, "Thanks April."
She winked, "Any time Saviour."
I closed the door behind me and walked down the corridor towards the bar smiling to myself at the thought of how well April and I had got along. Strolling into the room, I felt the full force of Polar as he punched me clean on the jaw sending me skidding across the floor. It fucking stung like a bitch but I stood quickly knowing that I needed to show what I was capable of. Polar looked psychotic, glaring at me with large eyes as I surged forward.
"What the fuck's going on?" Onyx roared from across the bar. The music was quickly muted as he stomped towards us.
I ignored Onyx as I reached back to take a swing at Polar, catching him perfectly on the nose. My ring grazed the skin which bled instantly giving me a feeling of satisfaction from him taking me down earlier.
Polar stepped back grimacing at the contact before he stood tall ready for more.
"That's enough, don't make me tell you two again." Onyx stood between us and pushed us apart roughly as Polar and I eyeballed each other. He glared at us both before turning to Polar, "What's your problem with Saviour?"
Polar didn't take his eyes from mine, "He just fucking annoys me." He stated as he clenched his fists.
Onyx scoffed, "You don't even know him."
"Or do you!" Polar stated coldly.
I noticed Onyx's eyes widen slightly as he folded his arms across his chest, sizing up to Polar as the party goers fell silent.
"He's just upset that I shagged his old lady," I stated trying to goad Polar further.
It was easier than expected as my comment made him surge forward and try to grab me again.
Onyx grabbed Polar's arm and yanked him back, and nodded towards Slick to help get him under control as Polar was like a mad man possessed trying to claw at me.
"Oh yeah sorry, she's not your old lady is she. Maybe I could have another go then or maybe claim her for myself."
"You fucking cunt, I'll kill you."
"That's enough Prospect, know your place." I knew to stand down and hold my tongue. I'd succeeded in winding Polar up and shown that I wasn't scared of him or a physical altercation.
Slick and Priest now had hold of Polar but he wasn't letting down in his pursuit to get to me.
"He has a point though Polar," Onyx rubbed his chin and glanced towards April as she walked into the bar. "Are you ever going to make April your old lady?"
I saw the embarrassment cross April's face as all eyes turned towards her, as Onyx's question hung in the air.
"I could never take a whore as my old lady." He spat shaking from Slick's hold. As he stepped forward April caught his eye, I could see the hurt on her face as he glared with no emotion registering.
"Well then, if she's fair game you can't stop anyone from shagging her including me." Onyx turned on his heels and walked towards April, she star
ed at Polar with pleading eyes as a tear trickled down her face but he looked torn between his feelings for April and his principles. Onyx smirked and grabbed April's hand as she smiled sweetly but I noticed that it didn't reach her eyes.
Onyx winked at Polar before he led an unwitting April from the bar and into the corridor at the back of the room.
"Get out of my fucking way." Polar shouted as he pushed through the crowd making his way out of the building.
Slick let out a low whistle, "Well, you know how to make friends." He sniggered as he left my side in the same direction as Polar had gone.
Someone cranked up the music and I was relieved that I was no longer the centre of attention, as people went back to talking in their groups.
Letting out a loud breath I composed myself and made my way through the bar, I'd already outstayed my welcome and I was more than ready to turn in for the night. I walked through the yard deep in my own thoughts when I felt the presence of someone behind me. I swung around ready to attack should I need to but stopped when I saw Poet leaning against the wall that surrounded the yard.
He threw his fag onto the ground and used his boot to stamp it out, "You've made quite an impression already." He pushed off the wall and slowly made his way over to me.
I shrugged, "I only did as I was told, I didn't realise that April was his."
Poet sniggered, "She's not and that's where the problem lies. April's a sweet girl and would make a perfect old lady but Polar won't claim her."
"He's such a prick."
"That may be true but he's our VP, and you better start building bridges or he'll make your life hell."
I nodded, knowing that I'd made my job more difficult by making him an enemy already.
"Are you okay finding your way home from here?"
I nodded, "Yeah I think so." I made my way over to my motorcycle and glanced around the yard pleased with myself that I'd finally got one foot in the door before I headed into the night in the direction of my bedsit.
I removed the note pad from under the sofa cushion and positioned it on the coffee table so that I could enter my most recent findings. I drew the layout of the inside of the clubhouse, it wasn't as big as the Aces but I needed to have a good understanding of the entrances to the building. I didn't know how I was going to get revenge on the three men yet but any information that would give me an advantage would be a godsend.
Now that I had infiltrated the group I would need to be careful of my movements so that I didn't raise suspicion or lead the Satan's to the Ace's. This was my vengeance and I didn't want the Aces to be involved as people could get hurt. Once I had documented everything, I moved the stool towards the wall so that I could stand on it to reach the air vent. Using my blade I unscrewed the vent and placed the book within, making sure that I fastened it securely afterwards. I didn't want this book falling into the wrong hands but it would be safe tucked away nicely in there.
I yawned, it had been an exhausting but successful day but I needed to get some sleep. I remember the days well of being a prospect and new that I could get a call at any time to run menial errands.
Chapter 3
Saviour
Six years earlier
"Whoa, what do we have here?" Polar asked as he rubbed his hands together.
I sat at the bar on my own but turned to follow his gaze in the direction of a group of young girls that had been led into the clubhouse by Slick. They looked young, barely legal I just hoped they weren't brought here to service the club.
I glanced towards the new prospect and nodded my head in the direction of the girls asking a silent question, he simply nodded and looked away confirming my worst fears.
The guys visibly got excited as the girls were brought further into the room. They whimpered and held onto each other for support but there was nothing I could do without causing a scene that could backfire.
"You! Come here." Polar selected the prettiest girl and beckoned her over with his finger.
She didn't move at first but Slick gave her a nudge that moved her forward out of the line, she dropped her friend's hand and cautiously looked around the room as she moved slowly in the direction of the leering men. Tears steadily flowed down her panic stricken cheek as she walked between the sofas. The young girl glanced around the furniture to see Onyx and Priest on one side, and Hustler and Fix on the other before she looked past them and her gaze met mine at the bar. I could see the pleading in her eyes and I cowardly looked away otherwise I would've rushed to her aid and blow my cover completely.
"Slick's done well, you're a pretty one." She stood before Polar physically shaking but his eyes were firmly on the prize as he looked her up and down like a lion assessing his prey before he pounced. Polar moved forward perching on the edge of the sofa cushion and reached up to take a strand of her hair between his fingers. The girl instantly flinched and recoiled as the panic showed inside her tiny body.
"Come here babe, it's going to be okay." Polar said softly trying to gain her confidence.
She slowly stepped forward and Polar put out his hand again to reach for her hair but I saw a flicker of evil cross his face as he grabbed a handful and pulled her down to the floor.
She let out a yelp which encouraged the other girls to scream and huddle together thinking that they could possibly be next.
"Shut the fuck up!" Onyx shouted as he turned in the direction of the girls. "You're giving me a fucking headache with all the crying and screaming." The group instantly fell silent and Onyx turned his attention back to Polar and the young girl as he pulled on the edge of his moustache.
The young girl was now kneeling between Polar's thighs, he was frantically trying to free his cock from his jeans but proving difficult as he still had hold of the girl. She let out a gasp when she saw his manhood, "Ah you like that babe, well you'll like it even more when I'm fucking your face." Polar grabbed the girl's hair roughly at the back of her head as she thrashed around trying to get free but Priest immediately sat on the coffee table behind her and held her firmly. The sight sickened me, this was a well rehearsed manoeuvre which made me wonder just how many times this had taken place before.
"Now you better suck my cock and suck it good otherwise I'm gonna let everyone of these men fuck you every which way. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
The girl took a deep breath as the tears continued to fall, she simply nodded and looked down at the ground. "Good now put my cock in your mouth like a good girl and don't even think about biting it."
She placed her small hand around his dick and positioned her mouth above it hesitantly. "Come on, I haven't got all day," Polar said to the roar of laughter from the other men.
He let out a sigh at her further hesitation and grabbed her head with both hands, pulling her onto his cock. I could see the panic on her face as he rammed his cock into her mouth and she gagged at the intrusion as the group cheered louder at the sight before them. The young girl tried to pull away several times to free herself but Priest continued to hold her firmly from behind as Polar fucked her face.
I wanted to leave, this was beyond anything that I'd seen before but if I left now I would raise suspicions. Fuck!
I glanced around the room and was surprised to see that not all of the group were enjoying the floor show, there were at least three other guys that looked as disgusted as me which was interesting.
"That's it babe, I'm nearly there." Polar shouted over the hysteria of the group. "Ahhhhhggggg," he roared as he came in her mouth. The young girl gasped for air finding it difficult to breathe as Polar continued to pump into her mouth.
I couldn't handle it anymore, I stood abruptly and the stool fell over which drew attention to myself.
Onyx turned in my direction, "What's up Saviour, you not enjoying the show?"
"Not my scene man, I like my women to be a little more compliant." I stated trying to keep the anger from my voice.
I could see a flash of annoyance on his face, "Select one of the more complian
t girls." He waved his arm towards the group that were still huddled together.
"No, I'm okay man, thanks all the same." I turned and made my way towards the door.
"But I insist."
The room fell eerily quiet and I felt his eyes bore into my skin, taking a deep breath I turned on my heels to see the group staring at me, waiting for my next move.
I placed my hands on my hips and thought of how I could possibly get out of this situation but I was running out of time, I was dammed if I did and dammed if I didn't.
As I stalked towards the group I saw a flash of excitement on Polar's face, he didn't think I would go through with it but I needed to prove him wrong to save face.
I stood before the group of girls who'd begun to whimper again at the fear of being subjected to what they'd just seen their friend endure.
Slick dispersed the group and rounded them so that they stood in a line. I needed to string this out for as long as possible until I had a plan, I placed my hands in my pockets and strolled up and down until I selected the youngest looking girl from the group, hoping that if I took her then these animals wouldn't be let loose on her.
"Come and sit here so we can all have a good look." Hustler stated to the agreement of the group.
The young girl tried to recoil and break free from my grasp but I held firm unsure of what I was going to do, I needed to think of an excuse and fast.
"Ah babe, I was hoping to shag you tonight." I was pulled from my thoughts as April sauntered into the room. "Can we have a threesome instead?" she asked excitedly standing beside me running her finger down the young girls face.
April gave me a wink before she walked around the young girl as if assessing her, then lightly grasped her hand to entice the petrified young girl towards the backroom to the cheers of the group.
"Nah man, you do it out here so that we can all watch." Polar stood clearly annoyed by what was going on.
Onyx shooed me with his hand clearly ignoring Polar's protests, "Go and enjoy yourself. I'm sick of watching, I need to have some fun myself."
