Page 2 of The Biker's Second Chance
What hotel? What the fuck is going on? I shake my head and step in front so Jayne has no choice but to look at me.
Jayne looks between Leo, Nisa and myself. "I can't wait anymore. I need help. If you don't help me know you might as well be handing me a death sentence."
I'm not going to allow her to ignore me. I told her the last time I saw her, when she was packing her shit and leaving my house that I never wanted to see her again. I meant that shit with every fiber of my being.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I want to be mad, want to stay infuriated but the fear that I see on her face is already chipping away at the ice around my heart.
"Please, Spike I've got no where else to go."
She puts her hand out to me and without really thinking about it I take it. It's almost second nature to me. Like I have no other choice but to touch her.
Jayne was my everything. I'd have easily given up my life for her. Stood arms out and smiling in front of a storm of bullets for her. I thought I was over all of that when she walked out of my life but it's clear I'm not.
Instead of waiting for Leo to fill me in on what's going on, I pull Jayne along with me as I make my way away from most of the crowd. My brothers keep their eyes on me but they don't interfere.
A second ago the music was bumping so loud that it vibrated my bones but now it's at a manageable level. Everyone must be waiting to see what the fall out is.
I get Jayne to the corner and finally come to grips as to what is really going on. She's not my woman, she's nothing to me.
I drop her hand hard and my hands ball into fists at my side.
"I thought I made it absolutely fucking clear. You were never to contact me or my club again. What the fuck are you doing here?" I growl at her.
"Spike, please don't be like that. I need to talk to you. It's important."
"You think I give a damn about anything you have to say? If there was something for you to say it was back when you were walking out on me. Right now, the only thing I want is for you to be gone."
"Jayne, I can't. You don't understand."
"You're right, I don't understand. I don't want to understand. I don't know what you're trying to pull showing back up here and going to my president but I don't give a fuck. Get. Out."
I have the urge to grab her by her hair and drag her out but I know if I put my hands on her right now, I won't have any control. With the way I feel right now I'll hurt her. Badly.
"Spike, just..." She tries to reach out for me again but I pull my arm out of her reach. I don't want her touching me.
All that love I once had for her has festered and turned into hate.
"Don't fucking touch me. I'm going to leave now before I do something that'll land me in jail and you in damn hospital. When I get back here, whatever business you have with Leo better be over. I don't want to see your face around here for anything. Do you understand?" I glare at her and she presses her lips together in a tight line before she nods her head once.
With that I turn on my heels and walk toward the door leaving Jayne behind me hopefully for the last time.
"Brother, hold up." Rumble rushes to catch up to me before I have a chance to get to the door. "Maybe you should hear her out.
"Maybe I don't need to do shit. I don't have anything to say to her and the fact that all of you bastards knew she was in town and didn't think it was important to tell me about it is fucking infuriating." Rumble I can hit. I wonder if he knows how close I am to losing my shit.
"We were under orders, Spike. We couldn't tell you." He shrugs and raises his hands in surrender.
Fuck this. Fuck her. Fuck it all.
Tonight was to celebrate Nisa and Leo getting out of their mess.
I thought I'd get lucky with one or two of the sweetbutts here but that's the extent of what I figured would happen tonight.
Jayne isn't the surprise I was hoping for.

THEN AGAIN MAYBE NOT
