Page 6 of The Bikers Redemption

I have been consumed with thoughts of revenge and devising a plan with my brothers for the past few months. Just one glance at Serena, and I’m going crazy. Seeing Luca with his arms around what was mine on the dance floor made me want to kill him.

For the last three years, I’ve been planning my vendetta against the Clementes. First, Javier and then his son, Luca, on his wedding night to end the Clemente bloodline.

But when I saw Serena was the one he married, I was blinded by hatred. I couldn’t believe she’d married my enemy.

I drove to the church to glimpse the happy couple and the woman who would soon become a widow. But when I saw them leave the church, I was in disbelief. I had to get close to make sure it was Serena and that my eyes weren’t playing tricks on me.

But when I did, there she was, the woman I planned to marry one day. I had planned to hunt her down to beg for forgiveness for neglecting her for three long years, which was how long it took to gain our revenge. The opportunity finally presented itself, and I couldn’t step back and not take it.

Serena was never too far from my thoughts, but I knew I couldn’t find her and be the man she deserved until I was rid of my darkness and the need to kill. But it seemed I was too late. She had already met someone else, and who other than the enemy’s son.

So then my plan changed.

I would still take out the father, but I would kill Luca another time, not while Serena was in the room with him. I’m not so coldhearted that I would make her witness his death.

Here I am in the elevator, unable to keep my hands off her. Fuck, I want her, and I still love her. That has never changed.

No other woman can ever hold a candle to Serena. But to know she had fucked Luca makes me go all caveman on her. And that’s why I’m kidnapping her. I can’t leave her with that fucker. She’s coming with me, even if I have to drag her kicking and screaming.

The only thing is, I can’t be in the same room as her without the urge to touch or kiss her, and I know she feels the same. She can deny it all she wants, but her body still craves my touch. I could have taken her back in the room. She was begging for my cock inside her, but I couldn’t. Not in the bed where she had planned on being with Luca. The rose petals scattered on the bed and champagne on the side table made me envious of the man who got to give this to her. Jealousy ripped through me, and the urge to smash something washed over me.

Snake was keeping track of where Luca was. He had instructions to call me when he was to leave and head back to the hotel. Wave was then going to call through once he saw Luca arrive. So I had time on my hands to play catch-up with Serena.

Serena says I’ve changed and not the man she used to know. How could I be? That boy was gone the minute my father was killed, and my life was also on the line. I haven’t been able to sleep well ever since.

It’s been too long since I’ve had Serena, and I will have her again, but I don’t want our reunion to be in that hotel room.

No, I want her inmy bedand onmy terms.

I give her ass one last squeeze before I let her feet drop to the floor, loving the sounds of protest coming from the back of her throat.

The sound of the elevator announcing we’ve arrived at the lobby has me pulling back, but not before I kiss Serena one last time and end it by sucking her bottom lip.

Quickly grabbing her bag from the floor, I take her hand and make our way outside to the foyer. She looks around, her eyes searching for something or someone. I know she’s looking for Luca, but Luca isn’t here yet because if he were, Wave would have called me from outside to let me know, and he hasn’t.

Glancing back at her, I ask, “Looking for something?”

She narrows her eyes at me. “Nothing in particular.”

“Mmm, okay, have it your way.” I continue to walk toward the doors and exit the hotel. I make my way to the parking lot, where I know Wave will be waiting for me in the van alongside my bike that Bear rode in on.

As soon as he sees us, he smiles wide and walks forward.

“Serena, it’s you… it really is. I couldn’t believe it when Prez told me.”

He walks past me and lifts Serena in his arms, giving her an enormous hug. She giggles when he does that and hugs him back.

“Okay, okay, that’s enough,” I say, pulling on Wave’s shoulder.

“What’s wrong, Prez? You worried she’s going to choose areal man?”

I huff because that’s simply ridiculous. He’s got nothing on me, plus I’d kill him if I ever thought he’d have a chance.

“Jealous, are we?” Wave teases, grabs Serena’s bag out of my hand, and throws it in the back of the van.

He walks to us and looks between Serena and me. “So… change of plans, then?”

The original plans were that we would head back home as soon as possible, far away from the scene of the crime. We needed to prepare for what was to come in case we were found out. But that was supposed to be after I killed Luca. However, that’s all gone to shit. Luckily, we have a safe house in New York .
