CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

Layla—

Jake leads me through the parking lot full of motorcycles, their chrome gleaming in the moonlight, and into his MC’s clubhouse. It’s loud and crowded; bikers packed in like a busy bar when a favorite band is playing.

I press to Jake’s back as he navigates through the crowd, his hand tight around mine. I lean in and shout to be heard. “Is it always like this?”

Turning, he bends to my ear. “Nah. Just on fight night. Come on.”

We move to the bar. “You want a beer or a mixed drink?”

“Rum and coke.”

Getting us each a drink first, he then leads me to a crowded table with about eight men and women seated at it. A couple of guys scramble out of chairs, giving their seats to us. I notice not everyone here are members of his clubs and that those that aren’t definitely show deference to the ones who are, getting out of their way and—like these two—giving up chairs.

Jake leans his elbows on the table, and I cuddle against his arm, moving close so he can hear me. “That always happen?”

He dips his head. “What do you mean?”

“Men getting out of your way, giving up chairs.”

He grins. “Yeah, guess so. This is our clubhouse. They show respect when they come to party with us.”

The conversation at the other end of the table stops, and the men turn toward us. I recognize one as that other man who was with Jake when they met with Chris.

Everyone turns toward us.

“This the girl you were telling us about?” The question comes from a man whose patch on his vest reads, President. A shiver of thrill runs through me, learning that Jake has told his club brothers about me, that I’m not some secret.

Jake nods. “Prez, this is Layla. Layla, this is Cole, our Chapter President.”

The man lifts his chin. “Welcome, darlin’. Glad to have you here.” He puts his arm around the smiling woman next to him. “This is Angel, my ol’ lady.”

“Nice to meet you.” I nod at her.

“I’m so happy you came tonight.” She puts her hand on the beautiful blonde woman next to her. “This is Shannon. She’s Crash’s ol’ lady. He’s my husband’s VP.” She motions to the man next to her, and on around the table. “That’s Wolf, and his ol’ lady, Crystal.”

I nod hello to the dark-haired woman. “Hi.”

“And that’s Red Dog and Mary.” She indicates a big man who looks like a red headed Viking and the stunning Asian woman sitting in his lap, her petite size so at odds with his size. “Down there are Green and Sara. And have you met Shane and Brianna?”

I smile at the man. “Briefly. Hello, Shane.”

“Hi, Layla. Jake takin’ good care of you?”

“Yes. He is. Thanks.”

Jake throws his arm around my shoulders, drawing me against his side. He directs his answer to his brother. “Don’t worry about me taking care of Layla, bro. That’s a given.”

Wolf leans across the table. “Anyone here tonight gives you any trouble”—he points at Jake—“you tell your man, and he will take care of it for you, doll.
