I wish I could tell her I wasn’t rejecting her, I wish I could tell her she meant so much to me that it almost scared me, and I wish I could tell her how fucking beautiful she was in my eyes.
But I couldn’t. If she ever came to harm because of me, I wouldn’t be able to go on living.
“You too,” she said, “Thanks for the ride.”
“One more thing before you go,” I told her and reached into my leather jacket. Deep in the inside pocket, next to my nine millimeter, was the money I had for her dad’s treatment. I handed it to her.
She looked at the envelope, looked at me and asked, “What the hell is this?”
“It’ll cover your dad’s clinic fees,” I told her, “Keep the money you earned the other day, spend it on something nice for yourself. A new car maybe. Or a trip once your dad’s on the road to recovery. You deserve it.”
“I can’t take this,” she said, her jaw dropping open as she read the check, realized I’d given her the full amount.
“Seems to me you don’t have a choice, darlin,” I said and stepped on the bike. I revved the engine and looked her hard in the eye. “If you don’t head right to the bank and cash that, I’ll be back around here with a bag of money. It’s yours, free and clear. Go save your dad.”
“I can’t–” I cut her off my revving the engine loud, motioning to my ears to let her know I couldn’t hear her protest, and gave her a quick wave before I drove away.
It hurt like a son of a bitch, it was more than the sting I felt when my last temporary girlfriend had been caught cheating. It ached deeper than my cock when I thought about sliding into Linden’s hot, tight pussy. It hurt harder than the time I lost my best friend in a shoot out down in New Mexico.
It felt like I was leaving her for good, and there was nothing good about it.
It fucked me up, and in turn, I needed to fuck somebody else up.
I pulled over a ways up the highway and called Big Red.
“You done the thing with Lee yet?” I asked.
They hadn’t so I arranged to meet them and join in on the hit.
I couldn’t go back to Linden, but I could at least take my frustration out on the source of it.
I could kill Lee, protect her, and head back to the bar to take anything else out on easy pussy.
Big Red had done some surveillance and found out the restaurant Lee liked to have his lunches at. We pulled up with Little Red, Hawk and the prospect a few minutes before noon, to get the jump on them.
I stood behind a delivery truck, waiting and clutching my gun, the tension I felt over Linden filed away somewhere in the back of my head.
Right then it was all about defending my territory and keeping law and order in my city. If word got out that Lee had done a drive by and gotten away with it, rivals would see me as weak and take advantage.
Lee pulled up right on time, a single black Range Rover full of him and his crew.
Five guys got out, four of them surrounded Lee, and they walked towards the restaurant.
We stepped out of hiding and opened fire without a word. There was nothing to say now.
I watched as if from a great distance as my bullets cut Lee down and he fell to the ground in an explosion of red.
Blood splattered everywhere and it was over before it began, they hadn’t expected us to move so fast.
I heard sirens in the distance, we tossed the semi automatic weapons and climbed back onto our bikes to leave the scene.
Before doing so, Big Red carved an H in Lee’s chest, leaving it shredded and bloodied, a sign that Hell’s Ransom had taken its revenge.
We left the back way, we didn’t see a single cop car along our route, and we made it to Fat Boys just in time to spend the day getting shit faced drunk and talking about the hit.
Some time around nine at night, I’d had enough drinking and talking, so I went into the back and grabbed the first whore I saw.
We made it to my office, I clumsily tore her top off and started sucking her huge, fake tits.
I wondered what Linden’s beautiful natural breasts would feel like in my mouth, and immediately had to close my eyes and pretend this blonde was her.
She was moaning and making all kinds of bloody noise, so I dragged her down with me onto my lap. I flopped on the couch, the site of so much debauchery in the past that it should feel natural by now.
But it didn’t.
I was being haunted by a girl I’d never had.
The blonde moaned again and I growled, “Shut it, keep quiet.”
She pouted and I sucked her nipple, bit it hard and felt her gasp and shudder.
It all felt wrong under my hands. I wanted it to be Linden.
The door to my office swung open and I looked up, blinked and rubbed my eyes to clear my vision.
She didn’t disappear.
Linden stood there in the doorway wearing a tight dress and knee high leather boots with a leather jacket.
“It’s the only thing I had that looked even vaguely biker chick,” she said without an ounce of humor. Her eyes were fire, anger raged there behind them and I felt foolish in her presence.
“What are you doing here? I already told you to cash the check,” I replied, my eyes not leaving hers.
“It’s already in the bank,” she said, her hand on her hip. “I’m here for you.”
“What the hell do you mean?” I asked, sitting up and knocking the blonde over slightly in doing so.
“What the hell is going on here?” she simpered and pulled herself up. “Whoever you are, you need to leave,” she said to Linden.
“I think you’re the one who needs to leave,” Linden snapped and crossed my office in a few angry steps. She pulled the blonde up by her hair and jerked her off my lap. “You need to get the fuck out,” she snarled to the confused stripper.
“What’s going on here, darlin?” I asked, unable to contain my grin.
“Close the door on the way out,” Linden barked at the blonde. The blonde scurried out and obeyed her command. Linden turned back to me, stood above me and looked down. “What’s going on is that I’m so fucking sick of living my life for everybody else, Dom. I’m tired of being boring and I’m tired of being a virgin.”
“And where do I come in?” I chuckled.
“I want you to do it,” she said and sunk down slowly, straddling my lap. Her scent was overwhelming, it was intoxicating and made my cock throb for her.
“Do what?” I asked, forcing myself to focus in spite of being drunk.
“I want you to be the first. I need you, I want you, and I’m tired of being told no.”
“Yes,” I growled as all reason fled my head. “Yes a million times again,” I repeated and pulled her down for a kiss.
The moment her lips touched mine, I was fucking lost.
