The Aces parties were legendary, even civilians wanted to attend because of what they'd heard.
"I served four years, and now I'm ready for a change. Do you want me to spar or not?" I quickly changed the subject again hoping he'd get the hint.
CJ narrowed his eyes, "You're a dark horse Jayden. Don't like talking about yourself much do you?"
"Not really."
"You remind me of someone else."
"Enlighten me!"
"His name was Locke but I'll explain more later over a pint."
I worked him hard for an hour and although I was physically fit through being in the army and keeping my upper body strength even when I was hospitalised, I was shattered and CJ could see that. He was talented, quick on his feet and could not only hit hard but could also take it.
"You've been a great help this afternoon, thanks mate. Do you fancy a beer?"
I used my teeth to bite the flap to release the Velcro around my glove, before turning my attention to CJ, "Yeah that sounds like a good idea, where're you thinking?"
"There's a lively pub just down the high street, I'll take a quick shower and we'll head down there."
"Aren't you supposed to abstain, you have a fight in a couple of weeks?"
CJ chuckled, "The fight is a little different to what you probably envision!"
I looked at him confused, "Surely a fight is fight?"
"It's not a conventional boxing match, it's bare knuckle." I raised my brows taking in what he'd just said. I'd seen some videos on YouTube over the years, it could be brutal and I wasn't surprised because I'd been on the receiving end of one of his punches even if it were in a glove.
"What? You never did it in the army?"
I shook my head sniggering, "Not with a face like mine, that's far too brutal."
"Yeah right," the sarcasm was evident in his voice as he pulled up the top rope and cocked his leg so he could leave the ring. "The showers are down there," he stated pointing towards the corridor.
"Cheers mate," I grabbed my rucksack from the floor and slung in over my shoulder. My knee joint was hurting where it had rubbed in my prosthetic leg but I didn't want to touch it here in the open for everyone to see.
"Jay!"
I glanced over my shoulder as I adjusted my rucksack, "What's up?"
"I appreciate your help."
"No worries."
CJ smiled, "I'll meet you back out here after your shower."
I turned on my heels and walked in the direction that he'd pointed to earlier, pushing open the heavy glass doors I revealed a modern looking shower room. I wasn't sure how long this place had been open but it was busy enough with varying clientele, the club had done well.
I let out a loud sigh of relief as I sat on the bench in the changing rooms. I wasn't planning to keep my injury a secret forever but I didn't want to broadcast the fact either. CJ seemed like a nice enough bloke but I just wanted to be Jayden for a little longer, not Jayden the cripple. I waited for the last person to leave the changing rooms, then made my way over to the communal showers. By pressing the button I released the water that cascaded over my body and for a few minutes I just stayed under the spray letting all of my pain wash away with the hot water. Picking up my shower gel I lathered my chest and worked the bubbles up my neck and onto my face before washing my hair.
I turned to a noise behind me and tried to open my eyes but the shower gel stung them.
"Shit!" I quickly dipped my head under the spray to wipe away the suds but when I finally opened my eyes I realised no one was there. Fucking strange, I was sure someone was behind me. I shook my head regaining my thoughts and placed my head back under the spray to remove the rest of the gel before turning off the shower.
A shiver ran through me as the cold air hit my body and I eagerly grabbed for a towel and wrapped it around my waist. I limped over to the bench and removed my leg, it needed to be dry otherwise it would rub my joint and irritate further. I removed my stump and dried the end, I hated looking at it, it made me feel angry but I needed to do this regularly otherwise I'd be prone to sores and infection. Rubbing cream into my stump soothed the area and I sat for a while letting the ointment sink in properly and was grateful to not have the pinching sensation.
I felt the cold air hit my back as the main door to the changing rooms opened, "How you doing Jay?" I glanced over my shoulder and consciously moved my other towel to cover my legs, although he'd find it difficult to see from his viewpoint but I didn't want to take any chances.
"Nearly there mate, give me five." I stated calmly although my heart was racing.
"Okay." He backed out of the room slowly with an unreadable expression that confused me a little. There was no way he could've seen my leg but it was as if he wanted to ask me something. I let out a groan, how long was I going to get away with this?
"Well, look who we have here babe this is my favourite brother." The bloke stopped in his tracks directly in front of CJ, and I noticed the venom in his voice as he spoke.
I instinctively clenched my fists and stepped forward, CJ held his arm out to place his hand on my chest and looked at me with a smirk before returning his attention to the dark haired bloke with a young woman firmly attached to his side.
He smiled, "Ooh this is interesting, have you got yourself a little replacement bitch?"
I couldn't believe his audacity as he stood in front of us wearing his club colours. There was obviously history between the two of them but I was surprised it was allowed to run this deep considering they were brothers because of the club.
"No, that's your brother when I kick his arse." CJ lowered his hand from my chest and gave the bloke a cocky wink as he turned towards me, "Let's get that drink, this conversation is boring me." CJ wrapped his arm around my shoulder and directed me towards the bar ignoring the continued insults thrown by the bloke.
"And that was?" I asked trying to get a name.
"No one of importance." I raised my brows slightly still wanting a name or even a brief explanation regarding the altercation, but I was learning fast that CJ wasn't one for opening up much. He noticed my expression and that I possibly wouldn't stop digging until he gave me something and let out a sigh, "I'm fighting his brother in a couple of weeks."
I nodded my head, "But why would that create an issue with him?"
"We have history, I've kicked his arse on numerous occasions but now I want the top dog not the little pup."
I sniggered at his response, CJ was witty and made me laugh. "Okay I get that but my question is now, if you want to beat his brother so badly, why are we in a bar? Shouldn't you be in the best physical form in order to beat him?"
"Yeah probably, but I've had a rough couple of weeks and it's time to let my hair down."
"What do you want?"
I looked along the optics, "How big of a session are we having?" I asked hopeful that he was here for the long haul.
His grin widened, "You wanna do a late one?"
"Sure do, I'll have a Fosters and JD chaser."
CJ glanced in the direction of the barmaid that had just joined us on the other side of the bar, "Did you hear that sweet?"
"Sure did." The barmaid leaned on the wooden surface as her large tits spilled from her low neckline. "Is that all you want though?" she gave CJ a huge smile before biting her lip seductively.
"I'll have two of each babe, and get yourself one." CJ leaned on the bar opposite the busty blonde as he reached into the top pocket of his cut and removed a note. She flicked her head from side to side in a playful manner as her hair cascaded around her shoulders. Taking the money from CJ's hand a childlike giggle escaped her lips at the clear enjoyment of his attention.
"You're terrible." I stated shaking my head as the barmaid seductively walked further down the bar to pull our pints.
CJ grinned, "I know but if I don't pull anything else tonight then I'll be able to take her home. I'm just keeping my options open." I shook my head in dismay. I was newly single throu
gh no fault of my own, I hadn't felt the need to shag anyone since the breakup but then I'd been feeling a little self-conscious about my appearance since the accident. I also wasn't too keen on one night stands, Paige had pulled me up on this on numerous occasions, telling me to let off steam and shag around a little but it just wasn't my thing.
"Penny for your thoughts?" I glanced in CJ's direction as the barmaid placed two pints of beer on the counter in front of us.
"Nothing I want to share at this stage mate. Cheers!" I lifted the glass and chinked it against CJ's.
"What shall we drink to?"
"Well for me it's gotta be new beginnings." I stated lifting the pint glass to my lips so I could take a long swig of the cold liquid.
"I'll drink to that mate, it's been a rough couple of months for me so I could do with a fresh start myself."
"Care to discuss?"
"Let's just say that I lost someone very dear to me."
"Family?"
CJ nodded his head, "No but a brother all the same."
I could see that he didn't really want to elaborate further, "Swiftly changing the subject then, those two birds have been checking us out since we walked in. Should we go and sit with them?" I nodded in the direction of the table in the far corner.
A smile lit his face, "That's the best idea you've had all day." CJ grasped his pint and reached on the bar for his chaser. Lifting the glass to his lips, he swiftly tipped his head back and I saw the contents disappear into his mouth giving him a satisfied grin. He swallowed hard, "Ahhh I needed that. Come on Jayden but I'm choosing first."
I rolled my eyes and watched CJ stroll towards the women like a predator stalking his prey. I picked up my drinks and followed him at a distance taking in my surroundings, I wasn't familiar with the bar so I liked to make sure I was aware of where things were. This had been installed in my brain since a child, to know where all your possible exits were in case there was a problem and you needed to make a quick getaway. I sniggered to myself as I heard my father's voice ringing in my head.
As I reached the table I noticed that CJ had sat next to the prettier of the two, he caught my eye as a wide smile crossed his face. Draping his arm across the shoulders of the pretty brunette, he pulled her closer and nuzzled her ear. I couldn't believe the audacity or the fact that this young woman would allow a stranger to do that so quickly. I wasn't a prude by any means, I'd seen club life first hand and I knew what a patch did to a woman. I'd seen headstrong women turn weak at the knees after being shown attention from a club member, it came with a certain notoriety and women seemed to dig that but this had only fuelled the fire and helped me decide to leave for the army once I was old enough, as I wanted something different but in hindsight that didn't work out as planned either.
"Hi babe, I hope they're not going to be the only people getting any action tonight." My attention was drawn to the bird sitting opposite the now cavorting couple, and I shook my head as I gave her the once over. She was a little skanky with her hair sgragged back in a messy bun but that didn't mean she wouldn't be a good conversationalist, although I doubted that from the way she'd just addressed me.
"So are you a patched member?" she asked checking out my attire.
I opened my mouth to speak but was interrupted, "Of course he is but he's just returned from Afghanistan, we're on a night out to celebrate his return." I glanced in CJ's direction to see a cheeky grin before he continued to snog his victim.
"Well babe, if you've been away for a long time you obviously have a lot to celebrate." She patted the seat beside her before crossing her legs drawing the material of her already short dress up her legs further.
I took a deep breath and glanced around the room, this was going to be a long night and I was far to sober to conduct any form of conversation with this bird. I caught the barmaid's eye from across the bar and indicated that I needed a round of drinks. She gave me a smile and indicated that she'd be two minutes before I turned to the young lady and sat beside her.
"I'm Candice and you are?"
Too fucking sober, were the words that rang in my head but I couldn't be so cruel. "I'm Jayden," I stated holding out my hand for her to take.
Candice glanced at my hand raising her brows slightly before she clasped it with hers and shook.
"Well Jayden let me be the one to put a smile on your face babe." Candice placed her hand on my thigh and rubbed her palm up and down as she got increasingly close to my groin, the act itself was a turn on and I could feel a stirring in my jeans. My attention was drawn to the sound of glasses being placed onto the table and I looked up to see a surly looking barmaid as she observed the brunette being groped by CJ.
"Cheers babe." I stated trying to grab her attention as a crazed look crossed her face.
She glanced in my direction briefly before turning on her heels and stomping in the opposite direction.
"Just keep them coming." CJ shouted after her as he prized the woman from his face and reached into his pocket. CJ's excitement was evident when he'd found what he was looking for and proceeded to pull out a small plastic pouch with a couple of tabs inside. The woman next to him squealed with excitement and clapped her hands together which piqued Candice's interest further as she sat up in her chair.
"Can I interest you ladies?" CJ asked shaking the plastic pouch as the two women nodded excitedly.
I felt a vibration on my thigh and reached into my pocket to retrieve my phone. I sighed as I read the name and hesitantly swiped the screen to answer.
"Hi dad," I said rising from my seat and walking towards the exit of the building.
"Don't fucking hi dad me, when were you gonna tell me you were back?"
I rolled my eyes at his outburst, "When I'd sorted myself out. I've only been back in the Abbey a couple of hours." I wasn't ready to divulge any more information at this stage, it would come out all in good time.
"And what's your mother going to say?"
"Well hopefully she'll be pleased that I'm back." I stated confused by his question.
"But for how long? Is that it? Have you thrown in the towel already?"
"Are you really going there dad?"
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, after all that has happened with Paige over recent months, are you going to verbally attack me without listening to what I've got to say?" The line went quiet and rightly so, what right did he have to assume my reasoning for leaving the army. "You haven't learned a fucking thing!" I spat before ending the call, placing my mobile back into my pocket. My old man was a strong willed bloke with good values but he lacked diplomacy and always took the moral high ground. Well I wasn't listening to his shit tonight, I wanted to enjoy myself.
Thoughts of who may have told him that I was back ran through my mind as I made my way back to the table. The party was now in full swing and I noticed a few extra drinks placed on the table directly in front of where I was sitting.
"You're falling behind Jayden, drink up." CJ stated raising his glass before he knocked back the liquid.
I eagerly grasped a shot glass and knocked the contents back before I picked up the second and did the same, feeling the burn at the back of my throat as the liquid slowly made its way down my body. As I placed the glass onto the table the group roared with laughter, I drew my brows confused by their outburst and made a swipe for my pint to wash down the taste of the shots. I sat next to Candice and she immediately grabbed for my thigh this time though she didn't hold back and rubbed further up my leg until she reached my semi erect cock. Candice opened her mouth and let her tongue snake along her upper lip suggestively as she kneaded my sensitive skin through my jeans. I felt a hot sweat come over me and pulled at the collar of my polo shirt trying to cool myself down which had no effect.
"Don't fight it bro, just go with the flow." I glanced in CJ's direction to see his magnified grin and understood exactly why I was feeling this way, the mother fucker had spiked my drink.
The giggles from the two young wome
n rang in my ears and I closed my eyes trying to familiarise myself with the strange sensation that was running through my body.
"Come on babe let's have some fun." Candice slithered onto my lap until she was straddling me and gyrated her hips back and forth building the friction in my groin. Although I wasn't into her, I was only human and becoming increasingly hard. "Wanna go to the toilets?" I opened my eyes as Candice pushed forward and took my lower lip roughly into her mouth, and I instinctively grabbed her waist and pulled her closer so she could feel my throbbing cock. She let go of my lip and a smile crossed her face as she moved from my lap and held out her hand ready for me to take. I glanced across the table to see CJ up close and personal with the brunette and knew that he wouldn't miss his wingman for a while. I returned my attention to Candice and placed my hand in hers, I didn't know the bar's layout but I had a feeling that Candice did and this wouldn't have been the first time she'd taken a guy to the toilets for a quickie.
She grasped my hand excitedly and pulled me eagerly through the small groups of people dotted around the bar until we reached an old looking door at the back of the room. Candice let go of her grasp and pushed the door open with two hands. I felt the cold air swirl around my bare arms as I followed her into the corridor, watching her take a sharp left into a dimly lit room. I followed her noticing the WC sign on the door and stepped into the small space as Candice pushed up beside me to close the door. I heard her slide the small bolt across the door and turned to see the lock held to the wood by a couple of loose screws, that wouldn't keep anyone out.
"Come here babe." Candice shimmied closer standing between my thighs as I rested my arse on the hand basin. I was still buzzing from whatever CJ had given me and I was slowly losing my inhibitions.
I placed my hand roughly at the back of her neck and pulled her closer, she stank of cigarettes and alcohol but this had gone too far now for me to stop it. I had a raging hard on that needed to be taken care of. Closing my eyes I leaned forward and took her mouth, her tongue snaked in and around my lips as she moved even closer to gyrate her hips across my erection.
"Ooh, you like that soldier?" she asked pulling back slightly with a devilish glint in her eye. I slowly nodded my head watching Candice's delight as she pulled my collar away from my neck to reveal my skin allowing her to roughly kiss and nip at my neck. Her hands made light work by lifting my polo shirt, pulling the garment up over my head to reveal my torso. She sucked in a breath taking in my appearance as did most women. I knew I had a buff body and females appreciated what they saw, the only thing was up until recently it had only been Tia that had seen it up close. Her reaction did wonders for my self-esteem, I grabbed her arm to pull her closer to my torso and Candice happily laid kisses down my chest leading to my nipple. Placing it between her teeth she yanked it, I let out a cry of pleasure but bordering on pain. She quickly licked over the area and planted a soft kiss before she worked her way down my happy trail until she reached my belt. Candice knelt in front of me and unfastened it, she quickly popped my button to my jeans and dipped her hand inside to reveal my hard cock. Candice unconsciously licked her lips and opened her mouth wide as she moved her head closer to take my length into her mouth. What she lacked in technique she made up for in enthusiasm as she sucked me hard. I placed my hands at the back of her head and held her firmly as I pushed her back and forth showing her what I enjoyed. I felt a rush of euphoria pass through me as my blood pumped faster, getting excited at the sight of this bitch sucking my cock. Candice tugged on my jeans and boxers pulling them down further, she cupped my balls and massaged them as she fought against me to come up for air. I eased my grip and she moved her head so she could lick and suck my balls while she moved her hand up and down my cock keeping the momentum of what her mouth was supposed to be doing.
