Chapter 4

Remy

I tore through the hall with the callousness of a charging rhino. Guests were shoved violently when they were too slow on their feet. With every footfall my brain told me to stop. To let it play out as it should. I didn't owe this girl anything, she was nothing to me. Just another disposable piece of ass that littered the side of my road to hell.

Except that I knew her name. Star, it shined brightly in my mind. There was something behind those defiant, hazel eyes that, as much as I pushed away, they always pushed back. She'd been on my mind too much, an itch on my brain that I couldn't scratch.

Yeah, I won't kid myself. She looked a hell of a lot like Maria but I buried that pain a long time ago. If anything Star was even prettier.

My life was simpler before she showed up. Ride, fight, fuck. There was a beauty in that simplicity. No one had any expectations as to the kind of man I was— a smoking gun, and a damn good one at that. The best. I knew I was a bad man, I could accept that. These are the decisions I've made. The stones I've cast.

There's always been a curtain of darkness in my soul, but with her... I could feel these pin pricks in that black fabric. Star's innocence and fiery defiance threatened to unravel me.

I brought the fingers I used on her to my nose. Goddamn if she didn't smell even better on the inside.

Before I knew it, the bar room door loomed before me. I'd been so lost in thought that I hadn't bothered to slow down. Fuck it. I threw my shoulder into it and smashed it damn near off the hinges. I came in like a battering ram. Cries of surprise rang out between everyone that was awake and the thunderous clap of the door woke everyone who wasn't. I knew how to make an entrance.

The room had turned into a fucking armory. Our stash of reserve weapons were dumped unceremoniously across the bar. Shotguns, pistols, riffles, bats, knives. More death was littered atop that shattered glass and booze strewn mahogany slab than was locked up at the GPD. Good. When the uneasy tolerance between us and the pigs goes ass over teakettle, we're going to need every last piece of hardware.

“Where's Top?” I barked, not seeing the big bald bastard anywhere.

Crutch was the only one that didn't look like old shit, warmed over. “Outside with the cops,” he said. I started for the biker's door immediately. I needed to get out there before the cops let slip that it was Star that called them. If Top had any reason to suspect her, he would walk back inside and break her in half. I couldn't let that happen. “But he told us to wait inside!”

I slowed enough to whistle to Tee. My handgun was already sailing toward him when he looked up. I made damn sure I wasn't going out strapped.
