“That he doesn’t have a problem with the new girl,” Star states.

“Oh, he has a problem with her alright. A hard problem in his fucking jeans,” Hawk goads.

I flip him off. “Fine, but it ain’t what you fuckers all think. It’s just…” I pause, wondering what I can say that won’t betray Acid. “He’s never once spoke about his sister before. He was my brother before we came here, and surely he would have said something. I don’t fucking trust her,” I state, exaggerating the truth.

“Maybe she came from a part of his life he wanted to forget? Or maybe he doesn’t know about her. Either way, stop being an ass. She seems lovelet, lovely,” Star slurs.

I smirk as Ghost comes to stand behind Star. “Bed,” he states, his hands going around her waist.

Star smiles. “So bossy.”

Ghost doesn’t say anything. He just bends down and scoops her up in his arms, pulling a giggle from Star as he carries her off.

“I think we should hit the sack,” Hawk says to Josie with a playful wink.

I roll my eyes as they walk off. As I look around, I notice that most of the brothers are now gone with their ol’ ladies. The only brothers still standing are the single ones. My phone vibrates, and as I pull it out of my pocket, I see a text.

Rev: 1 hour the basement. You in?

Me: Sure, but my usual fee applies.

Rev: Always. Make it a show.

I put my phone back in my pocket and walk over to the other brothers. “I’m off to the basement. If Pres needs me, let him know,” I state.

They nod, looking distracted as a few of the club bunnies make their way over. “You not joining the party?” one of them asks; Brandy, Billie or Britney, I can’t remember her name. She has a decent pussy though.

“Not tonight, darlin’. Take care of my brothers though.” I wink.

She smiles and walks off, and I quickly jump on my bike and leave them to it.

“Hey,there he is. The man, the fucking savage, Spider!” Rev cheers in greeting as I remove my cut and T-shirt.

“Money?” I ask, holding out my hand.

Rev slaps the cash in my hand. “Half now, half when you win. You know that,” he states.

I nod. “Yeah, I know. So, what’s the crowd like?” I ask.

“Oh, they are fucking hungry tonight. They want blood,” he says with a grin.

Rev, or the Reverend as people know him, is the organiser of all illegal fighting events. He moves the location each time, and only announces it on the day. He then calls the people that attend his flock following to each event.

Pausing, he looks down at his designer watch. “Show time, baby,” he beams, slapping me on the shoulder before running off.

I roll my shoulders, throwing a few air punches to warm my body up before following him out there. The dark abandoned warehouse is lit up with spotlights, a DJ is set up on the decks on a higher platform, and a huge ring of people are stood around chanting excitedly.

Rev is stood in the centre, microphone in hand. “Okay! Ladies, gentlemen, they/ them. All you extremely fuckable people here tonight!” he yells. The crowd hoot and cheer, and he smiles, loving every minute of it. I can’t help but smile. The fucker is the best at getting the crowd riled up. “I know you are all here to be entertained, and luckily for you that is what I do. My people, my flock, I give you tonight’s challenger. He is 10 and 0, and his head is said to be so thick his poor mamma still can’t sit down,” Rev teases. “He can’t be knocked out! Unlessyou’ve got chloroform,” Rev mutters. “He is the one, the only, The EXECUTIONER!” he roars. The crowd go wild as a guy with a shaved head covered in tattoos makes his way into the circle. He bounces on his feet, swinging punches from left to right.

I watch as he moves, assessing my opponent. He’s slightly bigger than me, but he isn’t as light on his feet as I am.

“And now, for our reigning champion. He needs no special introduction. You guys want to be him, and you ladies want to fuck him,” Rev brags.

“Yeah, we do!” a voice from the crowd yells. I look over to see who called out. Coco Cummings, a local drag queen, spots me and blows me a kiss. I laugh and give her a wink.

“Easy there, Coco,” Rev says with a smirk. “As I was saying, your champion, SPIDER!” Rev yells.

The crowd go wild as I push myself through them to the centre. I roll my head and bounce up and down on my toes, keeping my eyes fixed on my opponent.
