Chapter Eleven

Chase watched the club members rush around as Thorn pushed Brim back into the office. The fight had been intense, and she wasn’t sure if she should have witnessed it or not because it seemed like a personal issue. However, no one told her to get out or look away.

“Who the fuck does he think he is?” the man named Knuckles demanded as he slowly sat up. His voice was a little off since it looked like his nose was broken. Blood poured down the lower half of his face, to soak into the white t-shirt.

“He’s the fucking president of this club,” one man muttered. He had on his head a bandana decorated with skull and crossbones. “Someone grab a bag of frozen peas for this stupid motherfucker!”

Knuckles glared at him. “Fuck you, Lincoln.”

“His kid died and you had to poke the fucking bear,” a big, hulking man with coal-black hair said with a shake of his head. “Be glad all he did was break your nose. Again.”

“That’s right,” Lincoln said as he snapped his finger. “Brim broke your nose when you got handsy with his old lady.”

“They’re divorced now,” Knuckles said defensively, although now it sounded more like a whine.

Someone tossed him the bag of peas and he immediately put it on his swelling nose.

“You don’t eat where you shit.” A redheaded man with a trim mustache and beard crossed his arms and glared at Knuckles. “Doesn’t matter if they divorced. She’s a pariah to this club.”

Knuckles flipped them all off and stomped out of the room. Peppermint gave her an apologetic look before hurrying after the injured man. The others shook their heads.

“What an asshole,” Redhead man said.

“Knuckles has always been a hothead,” Lincoln replied. “Thinks with his dick instead of his brains.”

“He’s the fucking club enforcer! Perhaps we shouldn’t have such a hothead making sure laws and rules are followed if he can’t even do it himself.”

Grumbling among the men filtered through the room, until Red locked eyes with her.

“Holy shit,” he said. He walked over to her and stared down at her. “You are gorgeous. How long have you been sitting there, pretty lady?”

She blinked, not sure if that was a rhetorical question. Surely, he had to have seen her come in with Thorn.

“About a minute?” she replied, making it sound more like a question.

Red gave her a slow, suggestive smile, as if he thought he was sexy or something. Maybe he was, but Chase didn’t find him attractive. This biker couldn’t hold a candle to Thorn.

“My name’s Bolt. If you’re looking to be a sweet-butt I can help break you in—”

A hand smacked him upside the head. He spun around where Thorn stood there, hands on his hips, glaring at Bolt.

“Did you just call my girl a sweet-butt? And did you just proposition her?”

Thorn calling her his girl jolted through her, sending an unwanted cascade of warmth through her body. Bolt glanced from him to her and back again, surprise clear on his face. Chase didn’t blame him.
