“What do you mean?” Terry asked lighting one of her own.
“When these two guys go after women it is a, wham bam thank you ma’am sort of thing. One night stands, ya know. Neither of them go for girlfriends. With you, they are both taking their time. Besides, Yellow here heard them both talk about you weeks ago, so it ain’t a new thing,” Kay finished and Terry looked over to Yellow Girl. She nodded with a grin and a big cigar in her mouth. Terry wasn’t sure what to think about that.
She mentally corrected herself, she did know. She thought they both were smoking hot guys and if it wasn’t for the danger she would have hit on one or the other. With everything going on she did not think it was a good idea now. Maybe after everything was over, she told herself with a sigh and reached for her beer. She talked with the two ladies for a while and then they went to find the guys. Terry enjoyed the time alone. Her back deck had little lights on the corners so you could see just enough to not trip, but keeping the darkness so as not to interrupt star gazing. She had never seen anything as enthralling as the stars in the desert. She took a sip of her beer and sighed as footsteps came up from below.
“Hey darling, are you doing alright?” Red asked taking the chair on her right.
“Fine Red, just fine,” she told him truthfully.
“Good to hear,” said Ajax, taking the seat on her left and lighting a thin cigar.
“So what is up guys?” she asked taking another sip of her beer. She had a little buzz going.
“Everyone is settling in for the night. A couple up front and back with Mockingbird doing an inside perimeter sweep. Hopefully nothing will happen, tonight at any rate,” Ajax said.
“So how did you get so tough Tumbleweed? Most women, or guys for that matter, would be freaking out,” Red asked. She shrugged.
“I don’t know why, I only want to freak out after problems, not during. I got pretty shaky this morning after the robbery attempt. During, I thought it was exciting. Maybe it was my Dad’s influence,” she said thoughtfully.
“Your Dad?” Ajax asked.
“Yeah, Dad liked excitement. This was his store, I inherited it. The Daggers used to come around even then. I mostly just remember the name. Dad would always take me out to the desert and teach me survival stuff, or we would go to the county fairs and ride the wildest rides. It was just the two of us and I think he wanted me to be able to take care of myself. He never said so, but looking back I believe that was his goal,” she told them, not sure why she was opening up to these two bikers but it felt right.
“What about you two,” she asked the men.
“I have been riding bikes and hanging around mechanics shops my whole life,” Red began. “Engines and motorcycles fascinate me. I started hearing about the clubs and got real interested. I left my foster mom when I was seventeen and became a member of the Daggers. It’s a good life. The brotherhood is my family,” Red finished with a satisfied nod.
Terry looked at Ajax. He shrugged.
“I grew up with my grandma. I got into trouble every now and then, and was in juvie a few times. She was really pissed about that,” he smiled slightly as he said it. “But like Red here I always enjoyed engines and really loved the Harleys. I joined the Daggers and it was not long before I knew I would be leading it someday, and here I am. It’s where I belong,” he said.
Terry smiled and lit a cigarette. For mean looking bikers they were surprisingly normal people. She had a feeling everyone was, if you ever got close enough to find out. Well, she thought, maybe not Killgood.
“Is Killgood the Dragon leader’s real name?” she asked suddenly.
“Hell if I know,” Ajax said with a chuckle.
“I heard it’s not. I actually heard from several people he did a guy once and liked it so much he picked up that name,” Red said.
“Doesn’t surprise me, that dude is vicious. More than most I should say,” Ajax added. Red put a hand on her thigh and squeezed.
“Don’t let it worry ya darling, we got your back. Once we take it to them you will be left alone, or should be anyway,” Red said with a charming smile. Ajax’s arm went around her shoulder from his side and she turned to see him.
“Believe him Tumbleweed. We won’t let anything happen to you, no matter what goes down, got me?” he asked. Her porch lights sparkled in his eyes. She liked looking into their depths and the warmth she had felt inside her earlier in the day came back. They were both strong men and she could feel their desire for her. She was a little confused on what she should do or say. They, however, did not have that problem. Red’s hand slid up her thigh and he kissed her neck as his other hand massaged her back.
“It is a good back to have,” Red said in her ear.
Ajax smiled and leaned in for a kiss and she gave it to him as her body began humming with a need she had not felt for a while. She was about to make love to two men and she did not hesitate. It might have been the beer or the excitement of it, but the sudden idea made her tremble. She took each by the hand and led them across the deck. She threw some of the recliner cushions on the ground with obvious intent. Ajax laughed and the three sat on the cushions.
Red went back to massaging her back, moving his hands up her t-shirt from behind causing a tremor and she arched her back. Ajax palmed her breasts with a gentle squeeze and she moaned softly. He leaned in, his face inches from hers.
“I hope you don’t mind Tumbleweed, but we both would like to take you for a tumble.”
As Ajax said it Red had found the clasp for her bra and she felt her breasts released under her shirt. She could not keep the smile from her face.
“A tumble, with little ole me and two Daggers, do you think you are up to it?” she teased. Her wildness was taking hold and this time she had no worries. She had decided earlier in the day to trust these guys, and once Terry made up her mind about something she stuck to it.
“Darlin’ you don’t even know. You are about to find out though,” Red whispered in her ear before kissing her neck. His hands went over her lower back and down her leggings and panties. The feel of his hand brought her up on her knees and he grasped her rear. Ajax kept his hands going over her breasts and it slid her t-shirt higher up until he just pulled it and the un hooked bra off.
“Tumble baby those two ladies are what I have wanted,” Ajax told her removing his shirt, and Red stopped touching her for a moment. She heard the rustle of clothes behind her before his hands came back and tugged her leggings and panties down to her knees. She gasped and moaned when Red’s hands resumed their exploration of her nether regions and Ajax put his lips to good use over her boobs. Her body was flaring with a need that encompassed every inch of her. Being touched and cared for from both sides was a turn on she could not have imagined possible, and she embraced it and them.
She embraced Ajax, pressing his face into her chest and Red’s hands went between her legs and she could feel his searching fingers tease her wet opening and she squealed, arching her back. He kissed her neck and shoulders, and another sucking kiss from Ajax on her ripe melons kept her squeals coming. It was not something she could control and she relished that. She let it happen. When she felt Ajax’s stiff wand against her thigh her urgency became a physical demand.
“Ah baby, do me. You’re ready, I can feel it! Give it to me Ajax. Oh babe, do me!” she cried softly and he laughed, gasping.
Reds presence moved away and Ajax wrapped his arms around her, his member throbbing and growing against her eager opening. His hands slid down her back and grasping her rear he entered her. His sword of desire plunged into her willing depths and her cries of lust turned to little gasps of pleasure. She could barely make a sound as she was filled with him and her own need. Their hips did the dance of love and each thrust was another wave of all encompassing, joyous pleasure. His rough gasping in her ear was a new music that her heart beat to, and when he released his lust and desire into her she stiffened, barely able to breathe as her orgasm peaked and held for a marvelous moment of p
assion. When Ajax had gone limp with his release he pulled back.
“Tumble you are amazing. Let’s see how amazing…would you like that?” he asked breathlessly.
“Ah…baby…bring it on!” she said. Red’s hands were on her rear again and her arousal began growing within her once more. Red’s breath was on her neck and his hands came around to her breasts.
“I go another way to your front door Darlin’,” he told her.
Terry could feel his member swelling against her thighs and leaned back as her breasts were played with and his sucking kisses ran over her neck. She ran her hands down her belly to her hips, writhing in the grasp of the Red. For that moment he commanded her as surely as Ajax had. When his searching shaft brushed her needy opening she was ready for another round, completely wound up again and needing him to search deeper within her.
“Come on Red! Oh yeah, you can do me, you have to!” she demanded. He laughed his deep rumbling laugh, and it started a rumbling within her as he teased Terry’s opening and squeezed her breast. He kept that up until she was trembling uncontrollably, moaning and gasping. Her power of speech left her again. She could only gasp as her desire was lifted higher and higher before he finally plunged his stiff member deeply into her with one quick thrust. She felt an explosive orgasm that was repeated as he slowly went in and out. It was a completely different experience from Ajax with a completely different explosion of pleasure. Then another and another, before he was spent and groaning his pleasure, pulling back with a thankful gasp.
Terry collapsed onto her back catching her breath as her heart rate slowed and she could breathe easily again. Red leaned over her smiling and she heard movement; Ajax was there with a beer for each of them.
“Tumbleweed you are fucking awesome. We knew you would be but that was damn amazing,” Ajax said in tribute to her.
“Oh yeah Darlin’ we are not gonna want to let you go now. We would have rocked anything you wanted to do, but that…hell yes Darlin’, you are stuck with us,” Red added with a laugh of his amazement. Terry felt so complete and satisfied she smiled and sat up, taking the beer and smoke Ajax offered.
“So which is it guys, am I Tumble, or Darlin’?” she asked with a soft laugh. She did not mind either one as a nickname. They both laughed.
“How about Tumble Darlin’?” Ajax said with a laugh. Both Terry and Red joined in but they were interrupted.
“Someone is coming Ajax, heads up!” Mockingbird called out. The guys were on their feet and dressing in a heartbeat and Terry was not far behind. The danger she was in returned to her mind as she pulled on her clothes. She put on her bra and grabbed her vest off of the chair and put it on over it. Then her leggings and skirt followed. The guys were already off down the stairs and Mockingbird came up.
“Hang here for a minute until we know who our guests are,” he told her.
Terry’s buzz was gone and her nerves tightened. She wondered who it could be. Was it Killgood and his gang, the cops to hassle them again? Mockingbird kept his head moving, looking around the yard behind the store. She heard voices coming faintly from around the front and she matched stares with the brother guarding her, waiting.
*****
“Bring her around Mockingbird,” she heard Ajax call.
Terry went with him down the porch stairs and around the side of the store. When she came around she could see Charlene’s car. Then she saw Charlene standing under the front lights. She was wearing a loose red robe with shorts and a tank top underneath. Her hair was mussed and un-kept and that was very unusual for Charlene. As Terry approached she could see the woman was very upset.
“I am so sorry Terry. I didn’t know Cheryl would do such a thing. I had to come and warn you. When I get my hands on her she has had it!” Charlene babbled.
“What are you talking about?” Terry asked.
“Tell her,” Ajax growled.
“Cheryl and I went for a drink after we got home. After one I was too wiped to party so I left, but Cheryl stayed behind. When I was dozing off I heard a car pull up and I looked out front. Cheryl was there with that cop Jackson and that Killgood guy. She made a deal with those scum. When she came in I confronted her and she made some stupid excuse of doing it for our safety. I got her to tell me what was going on.” She took a breath and it was obvious how upset she was.
“That stupid woman has been friends with Jackson for weeks, since about the same time we got hired here. She has been working with him and that is how he found out the Daggers would be upset if something happened to your store. She told me they were coming after you because they know the Daggers like your store and you. They figure you might make a good hostage. Can you believe that shit? My own sister, going against you? I shoved her into a closet and locked the door. I have her phone so she can’t call them. Maybe spending the night in the closet will teach her a lesson,” she finished with moist eyes. Terry hugged her.
“Thanks for warning us Charlene. Now you have to go, if it is not safe I want you away from here,” Terry told her.
“No chance!” Charlene said with fire in her eyes and hands on her hips. “My sister is part of the problem and that means I have to help clean up her mess. So you are stuck with me Terry. You can fire me later if you want. I wouldn’t blame you,” she said defiantly, yet humbly. Terry was a little surprised she managed both at the same time so well. She sighed and stared at her friend for a moment.
“Alright Char, but we will argue about your employment later,” she told her.
“So when are they coming?” Ajax asked, a little impatiently.
“Before daylight is what Cheryl said. You guys have time to disappear. That is why I came here right away. I figured you would need time,” she said, looking up at the Ajax. Terry saw a hard smile come over his face.
“Thanks for the warning and we will use the time. Not for what you are thinking though. The Daggers are going to end it here, tonight. If you are going to hang out with us, you are going to have to learn a few things. Daggers don’t run,” he said and the others around them cheered.

“How is this going to keep my store safe?” she asked, managing to keep her voice calm.
“Don’t you worry Tumble Darlin’, we are moving all the breakables. What could go wrong?” Crowbar told her with a grin through his blond beard. Terry sighed. Charlene came over from talking to Mockingbird and sat next to her.
“They mean well, right?” she asked jokingly.
“Uh huh,” Terry replied.
They had moved all the stock into the back rooms and kitchen area. Now they were using the shelves as barricades to secure the front section of the store. Once Terry had hesitantly agreed to Ajax’s plan they had put it into motion immediately, as if they knew she might change her mind. Too late now, she told herself. She made a sudden decision.
“I’m going out for a smoke, coming?” she asked Charlene. The woman shrugged and got up. Terry just didn’t want to watch the reordering of her store. She knew she was doing the right thing; she just didn’t like it.
She walked outside and the night was cool and quiet. It was what she needed as she lit a cigarette.
“You know those things will kill you right?” Charlene said. It was exactly what Ajax had at the beginning of the previous day.
“So I have heard,” she responded to her friend.
“So you and the big guy had a good time tonight?” Charlene asked bluntly. There was no one else around and Terry decided she might as well talk about it.
“Something like that. How did you hear about it?” was Terry’s return question.
“That Mockingbird talks almost as much as I do. He said the three of you were making all kinds of noise. Even if they hadn’t though, you dressed in a hurry,” she pointed out. Terry looked down and blushed, a little embarrassed. She had not realized she was not wearing her t-shirt. Just her bra and short vest.
“Shit, well this night is as weird as the day was. Who are you to talk about dr
essing in a hurry,” she asked humorously. Charlene was still in her light robe and shorts with a tank top. She had put her hair into a pony tail.
“Well I was trying to sleep when I was interrupted. Speaking of which, sorry about interrupting boss. I wouldn’t have if I wasn’t panicked,” Charlene apologized.
“No worries Char. We were done and having a beer when you showed up. It was fun, but you didn’t really interrupt. Quit feeling bad about it. I feel bad that you are still here. Maybe we should both stop feeling sorry and just deal with it,” Terry told her. Charlene laughed and they shook hands on it.
“Great, it is a deal. I have got to wonder though about all this. I mean, he said you were going to invite the bad guys in when they come, how is that going to work?” Charlene asked reasonably. Terry didn’t have an answer for her. She hadn’t been told that either.
“Beats the hell out of me. From what your sister said they will be here in what, two hours?” Terry asked taking a drag from her smoke. Then she yawned.
“Yep, that is what she said she heard. I guess we just have to go with the flow. So is that what you were doing tonight, going with their flow, or is it something more,” she asked, bluntly again. Terry realized she was like a pit bull when she wanted to know something. She would just come back to it later.
“I don’t know. I mean we had a blast, but I think there may be more. Then again it might be too early to tell, if you know what I mean.”
Charlene nodded in agreement.
“Nice looking guys so I don’t blame you. A hell of a lot nicer than the Dragon goons, so you are batting a thousand there,” she pointed out. Terry laughed. Mockingbird came out and handed them each a coffee. Terry noticed him eyeing Charlene and he winked at her causing her to blush. Ah ha! She thought mischievously.
“Looks like someone is getting some attention from a Dagger goon,” she said to Charlene when Mockingbird went back into the store. Charlene blushed heavier and sipped her coffee.
