Pops sits at the head of the table, his gaze on me as the door clicks shut behind me. My father brings his hand to my shoulder and squeezes then releases me. Then I feel his heat move away from me as he goes to sit at the table with the rest of them.
No one says a word.
Nothing.
I stand there and stare, waiting.
Waiting.
My nerves really start to kick in, but I refrain from shifting my feet.
“Son,” Pops finally says, and my attention turns fully to him. “Are you Ravage?”
“Yes, sir,” I say automatically.
“Will you be Ravage forever?” he asks.
“Absolutely.”
“Are you willing to prospect for the club?”
My heart starts hammering in my chest as excitement bubbles through me. Holy shit. They’re going to allow me to prospect now? I didn’t think I could until I was eighteen.
“Yes, sir.”
Pops reaches behind him and pulls out a leather cut, placing it on the table so it’s opened wide. The front has a patch that says “Cooper” while the back has the words “Prospect” and “Ravage MC.”
Fuck me. This is really happening.
“Once you put this leather on, nothing gets spoken of concerning Ravage unless it’s to us. No one hears stories. No one hears anything.”
I swallow, knowing my sharing days with my buddies are over.
“Yes, sir.”
“Do you have any questions?” Pops asks.
“One, sir.”
He nods.
“I thought I couldn’t prospect until I was eighteen.” I had my sight set on that age, so the curiosity gets the best of me.
“Normally, you don’t. We’re considering this a special circumstance. That’s all you need to know,” Pops responds. It’s a better answer than I thought I would get.
“Yes, sir.”
“Are you going to put this rag on?” he asks.
“Yes, sir,” I tell him immediately, and a wide smile crosses his face.
“Get your ass over here, kid.” He rises from his seat and pulls the leather off the table.
I walk to him, excited and dumbfounded at the same time. Then I turn around as he places the cool leather on me then slaps my back.
“Welcome, son,” he tells me.
I turn around, and he engulfs me in a hug. Then whoops and hollers come from all the brothers before I’m embraced by them one by one.
My entire life, I’ve taken in everything the Ravage MC has taught me. I know the code. I know the honor. I know my place. And now it’s here. Two years. I have two years to prove my loyalty here. Then I can get patched. I can be a brother.
And all of this will be my life.
My ride is just beginning.
Ryan Michele has a huge obsession with reading, which only came to life after her best friend said she had to read Twilight. After reading that series, her entire world changed in the blink of an eye. Not only was she sucked into new worlds and all of the wonderful words authors put down on paper, she felt the urge to begin to write down the characters that played inside of her head. In doing so, Safe was born. Then Wanting You, Ravage Me, Seduce Me and currently Consume Me and Rattle Me.
When she’s not reading or writing, she spends time taking care of her two children and her husband, enjoying the outdoors and laying in the sun.
