Savage Love (Back Down Devil MC #7)(74)

One of the men took a swing. The other grabbed him by the back of his leather and pulled him in as he kneed the guy in the face. The guy fell back and then pulled a gun out. The demeanor of the crowd suddenly changed and the fight was quickly broken up.

"He had a gun," Rachel said.

"Yeah, that happens," Emily said. "I guess."

"This is real stuff."

Emily nodded.

Sometimes she wondered what went through Rachel's head. This wasn't just some after school hangout. This was serious stuff. These motorcycle clubs took their business seriously, because it wasn't just about money, it was about life and death.

Emily turned her head, ready to make the offer to leave when Rachel then let out a squeal and started to wave her hands as she jumped up and down.

"What is wrong with you?" Emily asked.

"I see Blaine!"

Emily looked and saw a guy waving back at them. He had black hair, black scruff on his face, and he looked dirty. He quickly dove off the table he stood on and began to push through the crowd.

"He's so f*cking sexy," Rachel said.

Blaine made it to them and looked up, smiling. Emily eyed him up and down. he was tall, strong, and definitely a real biker. There were a few scars on his face and his eyes were pure evil. She could tell her was the kind of guy that would blow someone's head off first and then worry about it later.

"There you are," Blaine said.

"I told you I would I come," Rachel said.

"Aw, baby, you haven't come yet."

Rachel giggled.

Blaine put his hand out and Rachel took it. He pulled her from the table and caught her. He spun around once and then cupped her ass with strength. Rachel cried out and Blaine bent his knees and thrust at her.

"Shit," Emily whispered.

This guy was dangerous. Ironically, Emily suddenly felt both out of place and right at home.

"And I see you've brought me a present," Blaine said. He put Rachel down and offered a hand to Emily. "Come on, baby, I don't bite hard."

"She's not for you," Rachel said. "I don't share."

"Like f*ck you don't," Blaine said. "I ain't a one * guy. Unless of course it's the greatest * in the world."

Blaine licked his lips and smiled.

Emily took his hand and stepped down from the table. Blaine pulled her close and sniffed her.

"You have some wild eyes," Blaine said. "This ain't your first go in these kinds of parts, is it?"

Emily simply smiled. Sometimes it was best to keep silent.

Blaine let her go and reached for Rachel. "Let's move. I've got us a front row seat for the best fight of the night."

"What's that?" Rachel asked.

"One of our guys picked a fight with this huge dude. It’s going to be a bloodbath."

They walked through the crowd to the table where Blaine had been standing. Emily saw another guy standing on the table. He looked at Emily and nodded. There was blood on the side of his mouth.

"This is Nate," Blaine said. "Nate, this is my dessert."

Rachel laughed, but Emily wondered if her friend had any clue how serious these guys were. Emily stood up on the table and looked to the circle. Now there were two guys in the middle, eyeing each other up. One was crazy tall and strong. His arms were covered in tattoos and even still the definition of his arms was scary. The other guy was shorter, but had a ton of muscle too. Across his chiseled back read Back Down Devil.

"That's our boy," Blaine said. "That's Gaige."

Gaige...

The name alone turned Emily on. When Gaige turned to the side, she saw the outline of his body. Pure muscle. The kind that would leave a woman's fingers tingling so much her body wouldn't be able to control itself.

"This is so crazy," Rachel squealed.

Blaine laughed and put an arm around her. "Sweetheart, you don't know crazy yet. Wait until I get you on my bike."

Emily crossed her arms and couldn't take her eyes off the circle.

A man in the middle was saying something to the two guys. The big guy stood still and Gaige had his hands in fists. She could sense the anger and tension coming from Gaige.

The man then backed away and the fight was underway. The crowd clapped and cheered.

"I put five hundred on this one," Blaine said.

"Dollars?" Rachel asked. "Seriously?"

"Fuck yeah. Gaige is going to take this * down. Just like I'm going to take your * later, baby."

Rachel giggled again.

Emily looked to her left at Nate. He turned his head and looked down at her.

"Problem?" he asked.

"No."

"Good."

Emily set her sights back to the fight. The two men were circling each other. Gaige's eyes looked fierce.. The big guy took a step forward and Gaige acted fast. He threw a fist and hit the guy in the face. The guy stepped back and then lunged at Gaige.

The big guy came down at Gaige with a series of punches, landing them on his head and back. He put a hand to Gaige's neck and forced him down, beating at his back.

"What a f*cking *," Blaine said. "Fighting like that. Come on! Someone call this shit!"

Gaige took the beating and then grabbed the big guy's ankles and pulled them. He crashed to the ground and Blaine started whistling. Gaige hurried on top of him and unleashed a fury of punches. Each one sounded heavier and more wet than the other. Each punch produced more and more blood. The big guy tried to swing at Gaige, but Gaige was too quick.
