The two men run to their bikes, leaving me standing there, gasping for breath. If I was human the chokehold would have snapped my neck, it was so tight. My vision is blurred and I would scream if my throat wasn’t already laboring to heal from the chokehold. A pair of hands grips my shoulders, pulling me to my feet.
It’s my cousin Bruin and I’ve never been so happy to see someone in my life. He’s firing questions at me so fast, but I don’t have a prayer of answering half of them. “Eaters,” I tell him.
He lets go of me and his whole body flexes as he screams “fuck” at the top of his lungs. The muscles in his neck are strained and I can see the anger vibrating off of him. It’s like he’s pulsating and I know his bear is fighting to get out.
He turns back to me. “You have to be seen with the New Law. That is the only thing that will protect you from the Eaters.”
I nod my head at him. I would agree to anything at this point. What was so momentous only minutes ago now fills me with dread. I’ve only been here such a short time and already I’ve made enemies. And bad ones, it seems.
“We can go to the clubhouse, introduce you, and I’ll have Ronan call a vote.”
I raise up then, testing my voice, quietly at first and then finding that I’m able to talk normally again. “I’m signing my lease on the cabin”—I look down at my watch—“in ten minutes.”
Bruin runs his hand through his hair. “Fine. Sayer, you’re with me. Koda and Johnny, head back. Let Ronan and Deator know we need church tonight.”
The shorter one, the one he called Koda, speaks up. “There’s a party tonight. No one is going to want church…”
Bruin shakes his head. “They’ll do it. Now go.”
Bruin doesn’t even wait to see if Koda and Johnny listen to him. He turns back and looks at me expectantly. “Where’s the cabin?”
I give him the address and I go to lift my bike up, but the other man with Bruin stops me. “Leave it.”
I look at him with surprise. “I can’t leave my bike.”
“One of the brothers is on his way to take it back to the shop. You’ve come a long way and it won’t hurt to have it checked.”
I want to argue with him. I hate to be without my ride, but what he’s saying makes sense. I nod and follow Bruin to his bike.
I mount it behind him and hold tight to the vest he’s wearing as he takes off flying down the road.
When we get to the cabin, the woman is already waiting on me. She shows us around, but she keeps eyeing my two companions. I can see the interest in her face, but also probably a little bit of fear. I sign the papers, ready to be done and relax a little bit.
Bruin tries to reassure me, but I can sense his hesitancy. He tells me to relax, promising me that he and Sayer will check the area around the cabin and put fresh markings down to remind the Eaters whose territory this is.
Only when I shut the door after promising them that I’ll be ready when they come to pick me up for the party and this thing called church do I finally take a deep breath and think about everything that’s happened in the hour I’ve been in town.
Chapter 2
Ronan
Lola, one of the club sluts or Twinkies, as they like to be called, is toying with the tie of her string bikini top. She’s doing her best to tempt me. Her small hips gyrate, causing her fake breasts to bounce up and down. Any minute now, I’m waiting on one of them to fall out of her barely-there top. I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t partially interested. I need something to relieve my frustrations. Being the VP of the club is hard work.
I look over at my younger brother, Klaus, and just shake my head. He throws back the bottle of Heineken and takes a big swallow before laughing at something someone in his group says. He’s different then he used to be. He used to be right up here with me, but not anymore. He fucked up five years ago and is lucky he didn’t get booted out on his ass by Deator, our dad and also the president of the club.
Instead, Dad relieved him of his title, and he’s only a patched member now. In my opinion, he’s got it made. While he hangs out, parties, and drinks, I have to take care of our club and its future. I have all the headache and he has all the fun.
Since I’m not pushing her away, Lola straddles my leg, pressing her pussy into me, waving her body over top of me. I adjust my hardening cock in my jeans. I could probably go a round or two with her. She’s skinny and I prefer a woman with more meat on her bones, but it’s been a while for me. I haven’t buried my dick in any sweet heat for a while now and he’s begging to get wet. My hands go to her hips just as the front door swings open. Instantly, I’m on alert. Koda and Johnny walk in and just looking at them, I can tell that something is wrong. They look around the room and once they spot Deator, they go straight over to him. I stand up, lifting Lola off me and setting her to the side.
