I closed my eyes as a wave of fatigue hit me and then jolted, blinking as I sat on my borrowed Harley. Every member of the Tonopah chapter faced me, astride their bikes, amusement clear on their rugged faces.
 
 “You’ve just been fuckered,” Mammoth informed me.
 
 “Or fucked,” Rael clarified.
 
 “By the devil,” Grim added.
 
 Great.
 
 “Welcome to your new reality.”
 
 As I sat there, I felt a presence stir within me. Powerful. Sinful. Downright addicting. Thoughts that weren’t my own filtered through my head, and I felt similar beings surrounding me inside every man gathered in the desert.
 
 “I get it now.”
 
 “Yeah,” Rael laughed. “You’re fuckered for sure.”
 
 Just when I felt the presence inside me settle, a powerful lust took hold. My cock hardened as laughter, not my own, echoed in my head.
 
 “And there it is,” the one called Wraith laughed.
 
 “Fuck it out of your system. That’s my advice.” Grim gestured to my swollen dick as it tented my jeans. “We all go through it.”
 
 “Christ,” I muttered as laughter erupted around me.
 
 I needed Lainey more than ever now.
 
 We rode for The Crossroads, and I somehow managed to beat most of them. I hardly had the patience to park the bike before I was rushing inside, looking for Lainey.
 
 Diablo, the one with the black and red face paint, smirked when he saw me. “I ink the members. Get your tat after you fuck all that energy away.”
 
 I guess there weren’t any secrets here.
 
 Lainey was at the bar. She slipped from a stool and approached me, eyes widening as she stared at my face. “Wow. You’re one of them now.”
 
 “I am.”
 
 “And you still want me?” She sounded nervous.
 
 “Only you,” I confirmed. “Those sweet lips. That sexy ass. And your addictive pussy.”
 
 “Then take me.”
 
 I scooped her up, carrying Lainey from the bar as a few of the guys whistled. Several shouted obscene but encouraging comments.
 
 “I can see the Reaper inside you. He’s amazing.”
 
 Something rumbled my chest, and I knew it was him.
 
 “You have no idea what he’s capable of, whatI’mcapable of, darlin’. But you’re about to find out.”
 
 She sucked in a breath, her eyes nearly glazed over with want and excitement.
 
 Yeah, baby. I’m gonna make you scream my name and fulfill every one of your dirty fantasies.
 
 Chapter 8 Lainey
 
 He did it. Pagan joined the Tonopah GBMC, and now he was a Reaper. Or had one. I wasn’t sure of the logistics, but he and the Reaper now shared Pagan’s body and soul.
