Yeah, I need to get to know these guys better, to spend more time with them because I know with every bone in my body, I want them in my life. Maybe even need them.
For the first time in a very long time, I feel a spark of hope that maybe I can have that life I’ve always dreamed of. The one I’ve been hoping will help me move on and forget abouther.
So that's why I take Brady’s hand and let him help me off the bike. “Okay, biker boy. Let’s go have some fun.”
You know when you read an MC book, and the main guys are usually a part of the good club; the one that, despite dealing inillegal activities, has respect, morals, and aren’t the monsters of the world?
Yeah, that's Steel Devils MC.
From the moment I stepped into the clubhouse, the big burly biker men have been nothing but welcoming, despite their appearance.
It took a little while and a few drinks for me to lose the nerves that had settled in my body, but having Brady and Gavin at my side helped.
“Put the cards down, Little Lady,” Brady whispers in my ear. I grin, shivering as his hot breath fans over the back of my neck.
I’m pretty tipsy right now and am having the time of my life. For the past hour, I’ve been sitting at a table playing poker with some of the members of the club, Gavin, and the twins' sister, Dakota.
Yeah, turns out they have a little sister my age. She’s an Alpha, and her pack is the prez and VP of the Steel Devils from a different chapter.
The guys seemed surprised to see her when we walked through the doors. At first, I felt jealousy, I had no right to feel when she threw herself into their arms. Watching them embrace made my stomach turn. She’s gorgeous. Tall, long blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and legs for days.
Then the guys introduced me to her, letting me know she was their little sister. I felt like an idiot for how quickly I reacted.
By the wink Dakota sent me, I think she could tell. Thankfully, she didn’t tease me about it. I was grateful for that.
After ribbing her brothers for bringing a girl home—something many here seemed to be surprised over—she introduced herself.
I liked her immediately. She has this energy that pulls you in. I haven’t been around many female Alphas before comingto Calling Wood, and even then, there's only been a handful of times I’ve really sat down and had a conversation with one.
Dakota was easy to talk to, funny, and a little intimidating. Doesn’t help that she’s just as gorgeous as her brothers.
“You sure?” I whisper back.
“Yes.” His chuckle rumbles in his chest, making my body shake.
“If we lose, I’m blaming you,” I mutter, making him laugh harder. I have no idea how to play poker. Brady pulled me into his lap and told me he was going to help. I’m guessing he’s good at this game, because I think we’re winning? I have no idea, I’m just doing what he tells me, and so far, he hasn’t failed me.
The whole table is watching me, waiting with bated breath for me to lay down my cards.
Biting my lower lip, I look across the table at Gavin, who’s watching with a smirk of his own, like he knows he’s about to lose, but doesn’t seem to care.
As I lay the cards on the table, everyone around us groans. “This is bullshit!” a man named Rooster complains, throwing his cards on the table. “You’re fucking cheating.”
Brady’s hand comes down on the table hard. “Watch how you fucking speak to my woman,” he barks. The whole table goes silent in fear. Me? My damn thighs clench together, and I just know everyone at this table can smell how turned on I am.
“Don’t fucking look at her.” My eyes snap over to find Gavin in the face of another man. “Don’t even fucking smell her.”
“It’s kind of hard to do, man.” The guy who responded goes by the name of Rat Tail. Biker names can be sexy, but sometimes… yeah, not so much.
“Sorry, boys.” I giggle, the alcohol making me brave. Or maybe it’s the two men who’ve had my back this whole night. “I got a car to fix, and it’s not going to pay for itself.” Reaching out,I pull the pile of money over to me. “You can have half.” I grin at Brady over my shoulder.
“Keep the money. And don’t fucking spend a dime on your car. I told you, I got it,” he growls, nipping at my nose.
It’s safe to say that I’ve fallen hard and fast for the Harrison boys. I don’t even have it in me to fight it. I’m going with it because… why the fuck not?
I’ve been through so much pain in my life. More heartbreak than anyone should have had to endure, and all of that happened before I even turned twenty.
It’s time I live for me. Time for me to be happy, to take what I want.
