Outlaw Revenge (Back Down Devil MC #1)(28)

Gaige laughed. That was one way to get Blaine’s attention and keep it.

A few minutes later they were on their motorcycles, cruising the streets, cutting in and out of other vehicles as needed. Gaige hoped they would get there in time to save Belle. A dead escort would put heat on the business and once they figured out Emily was tied to another dead body and Back Down Devil MC, she would be ruined and the club would come under fire, again.

Blaine rode alongside Gaige as they pulled around back of the hotel. It was the largest hotel in town, mostly used as Emily said, for business. It’s where a lot of big wigs came to get their rocks off.

Gaige climbed off his motorcycle and Blaine was right with him. They went through a side door to the emergency steps. They took them two at a time, up to the fifth floor. In silence, they cut down the hall, drawing their weapons, ready for all hell to break loose if need be.

They found the room and Gaige put his ear to the door.

He heard the muffled sound of a woman’s voice crying.

“Fuck,” Gaige whispered. “She’s crying.”

“We don’t have a card to get in,” Blaine said.

“Fuck the card,” Gaige said.

He kicked the door and it busted open.

They rushed inside and found a beautiful blonde in bra and panties, tied to a chair with the wires from the telephone. She had a rolled up pillow case tied around her mouth. Her eyes were wide and when she saw the guns, she started to kick and scream more.

“Where is he?” Gaige asked. “Is he here?”

The woman hurried to shake her head, her hair bouncing left to right.

“Jesus Christ,” Blaine said. “Look at her. She’s f*cking gorgeous.”

“Relax,” Gaige said. He walked to Belle. “Listen to me. I know your name is Belle. I’m here to help you. I’m going to take this out of your mouth. If you f*cking scream, my friend here will shoot you. Okay?”

Belle nodded.

Gaige took the gag out of her mouth. Belle let out a breath and looked at Gaige, then Blaine, then back to Gaige.

“Fuck no,” she said. “I’m not paid for this. Guns? Three men? No…”

“Wait, what?” Gaige asked.

“That wasn’t what I was told,” Belle said.

“Hold on,” Gaige said. “You were willingly tied to this chair?”

“Yeah. That’s what he wanted.”

“Who, pretty?” Blaine asked.

Blaine touched her hair. Belle kicked Blaine’s leg and he jumped up.

“Fuck. Feisty. I’m getting hard already.”

“Tell me what the f*ck is going on here,” Gaige said.

“He paid to take me to this hotel for a fantasy. To tie me up and gag me. He wanted me to whimper and cry for him while he was gone. When he comes back, he’s going to f*ck me and then leave me. Then I have to call for a ride.”

“Fuck,” Gaige said. “I can’t believe this.”

Everything was legit. Belle wasn’t in danger. Gaige looked at Blaine.

“What do we do now?” Blaine asked.

“I guess we…”

Gaige saw the figure in the doorway a split second before the gunshot rang. Gaige dropped and pulled Blaine to the floor. He pointed his gun in the general direction and pulled the trigger.

“Fucking *,” Gaige growled.

He jumped up and ran. Blaine was right behind him. They charged into the hallway and Gaige saw a man running down the hall.

“Stop running, Max,” Gaige yelled.

The man turned and stumbled a few steps, obviously surprised that Gaige knew his name. He pointed his gun and took two more random shots, just to keep Gaige and Blaine at bay.

Gaige took a step and Blaine grabbed his arm. “He’s gone, bro. He won’t be back for this.”

“I have to kill that *,” Gaige said. “He’s been threatening Emily for a long time.”

“What do we do then?” Blaine asked. “Chase him down?”

“No. I know what he’s driving. We’ll find him. Last thing we need is to light up the hotel with gunshots. Police will be here in a second and don’t forget about who owns the f*cking place.”

Mr. f*cking Strokner.

Gaige walked back to the hotel room and went inside. Belle was now shaking. Everything had become very real for her.

“Sorry about that,” Gaige said. “Are you okay?”

“What the f*ck was that about?” Belle cried.

“Don’t ever f*cking do business with him again, okay?”

Belle nodded. “Now what?”

“I’m going to untie you and then I’ll take you back to your office,” Gaige said.

“Wait a second, wait a second, wait a second,” Blaine said as he touched Gaige’s shoulder.

Gaige looked at Blaine. He stared at Belle with big eyes. He smiled.

“Blaine…”

“Let me take care of this one,” Blaine said.

“You’re kidding me,” Belle said.

“Come on, pretty,” Blaine said. “You’ve never seen a cock like mine.”

“Were you paid already?” Gaige asked.

“Yes,” Belle said.

Gaige punched Blaine in the shoulder. “Well, have at it then.”
