Secret Mayhem (Back Down Devil MC #4)(11)

Shay rode, alone, leaving Jon behind. Gaige, Nate, and Blaine soon caught up. They rode back to the clubhouse, and Shay parked his ride and stepped off. Miller, Jace, Griffin, and Erik all stood up from a table and clapped and whistled.

Miller hugged Shay. “Sorry you had to spend the night there.”

“Not a problem. Slept great,” Shay said.

“You smell like piss,” Griffin said.

“Thanks.”

“Your face looks good,” Erik said.

Shay touched his jaw where Erik had given him a good shot. “I could say the same about your face, Erik, but then you’d want to fight me.”

Miller cut in between the two of them and put his hands out. “Cool it. It’s done. Time to move forward. We have to organize the protection run for Jakey. And we have to find Jonesy. And we have to settle all this shit. We need to start with Eight Under.”

“How’s that plan look?” Shay asked.

Before Miller could respond, the thundering roar of motorcycles came to life. It seemed like it came out of nowhere. There was a total of fifteen motorcycles that piled into the parking lot of the Back Down Devil MC compound.

“That’s what the plan looks like,” Miller said, laughing.

“Good Christ,” Shay said. “It’s going to be a bloody war.”

“What other kind is there?" Erik asked. He punched Shay's shoulder and walked away.

The Lost Men made their own row to park their motorcycles, back tire in first, front tire out and turned. No matter what they believed, they still had MC blood flowing through their veins.

But that wasn’t what caught Shay’s attention.

A woman climbed off the back of the first bike. When she took her helmet off, she tossed her dark hair left to right and looked around. Her bright blue eyes were striking. Her t-shirt was tight and her jeans grabbed at her hips, flaunting her amazing curves. Shay’s hands curled and uncurled, over and over, as he imagined what it would be like to guide that body all around his bed.

He turned his head and groaned when he realized whose bike she had climbed off of. Trev. A former Back Down Devil MC member that had been voted off the table when he decided he would rather go rogue. They had taken down a lot of bad people together, and it hurt the club when Trev walked away from them.

Miller approached Trev with his arms open, nodding.

They hugged, but the rest of Back Down Devil came in and stood behind Miller. It almost had the feel of two rival clubs squaring off.

“You look good,” Miller said. “Added more ink, huh?”

“You look like you added a few pounds,” Trev said.

Miller laughed. “Fucking smartass.”

Shay stood next to Nate who stood next to Gaige who stood next to Miller. Shay was eye to eye with a man with an eye patch. He had a cold stare with his one eye and his sins were written all over him.

“I see you brought a guest,” Miller said. “Didn’t know your relievers traveled with you guys."

“Not what you think,” Trev said. “Stein was killed a few weeks ago. She was his old lady. I’m just trying to keep her safe.”

“So you brought her here?” Miller asked.

“It was better than leaving her with these men,” Trev said.

A soft chuckle ran through the Lost Men.

Eyepatch smiled, revealing a set of mostly rotted teeth. “I had my orders on the whore. Came close to f*cking her throat out. I’ll get the bitch soon.”

“I doubt that,” Shay said. “Not in my compound. Not in my club.”

“That so?” the man asked.

“She with you then?” Miller asked Trev.

“No,” Trev said. “She’s just here.”

Shay looked at the woman. She looked lost and confused. He could already sense Blaine getting hard. Miller was damn near drooling. The only three that weren’t running sick fantasies were Gaige, Landon, and Erik because they had women of their own in the clubhouse. Then again, they were crazy enough to take on a second woman.

“What do we do with her?” Miller asked.

“Let me take care of her,” Blaine called out. “I’ll keep her warm and comfortable. Close and tight. Well, not tight for long.” He looked to the group of Lost Men. “My cock is huge. Can’t help it.”

“Christ,” Gaige whispered.

“What’s wrong with these boys?” Trev asked and pointed to Gaige, Landon, and Erik. “Don’t like women? Want a cock up your ass? I’m sure we can arrange that.”

“Step back, *,” Nate said. “Gaige is VP. Watch your tongue.”

“VP?” Trev asked and laughed. “That means nothing. I’m VP. Tynn is VP. Fuck, even Nile is VP and he has one eye.”

Shay looked at the man with the eye patch.

Nile.

Sensing the growing tension, Miller cut in. “We’re all the same team here. We made the call, you came down. Can’t start rumbling over a woman. What’s her deal?”

“Told you,” Trev said. “Just trying to keep her safe.”

“Keeping her warm?” Blaine asked. Miller looked at Blaine and shook his head. “What?” Blaine asked. “Just wondering… because I am willing…”

“Why don’t we go get settled?” Griffin asked. “Open bar. Prospects to serve up whatever you want. Relievers for whatever you want.”
