Chapter 41 I saw a pair of eyes burning into me full of pure want.
Viper
What am I even doing here? The blonde on my lap was moving harder now, grinding down on me, but my dick was still soft. I could not get it up, no matter what. I just miss Catalina so fucking much. When this woman offered a free dance, I did not want it, but I let her lead me to this leather booth anyway. She climbed on and started going at it. I closed my eyes and let my head fall back against the seat. I was trying to picture Catalina, but this woman was bouncing on me all wrong, and it was starting to hurt. Coming to this strip club with Butcher, Doc, Magnet, and Boxer was a bad idea. They thought I needed to forget. It is not working. I just want my girl back.
“Alright, alright! The amateur contest is starting right now. We’ve got four ladies for you tonight. Let’s hear it for them!”
“Viper, get that woman off you, man. You are in deep shit. You are not going to like this.”
I opened my eyes. Doc was there, pushing something into my hands. I looked down. It was Catalina’s property vest. What the hell? Where did he find this? I shoved the dancer off my lap; she landed on the floor with a yelp. I muttered a sorry, not really meaning it, and stood up.
“Where did you get this?”
“From her!” Doc said, pointing toward the stage.
I looked. My whole body went cold.
There she was. My girl. In a light pink little dress and those tall, clear heels. God, she looked so fucking beautiful. Her hair was a wild mess of curls around her face. She looked right at me, and I could see the hurt there, plain as day. Why did she look so broken?
“You let other bitches ride your cock, but not me? Fuck you!” she screamed. Then she ripped her dress off and grabbed some guy’s head, smashing his face into her chest.
“She saw you with that dancer grinding on you, brother,” Butcher said, his voice low.
I shut my eyes. She thinks I wanted this. She thinks I asked for it. And now this is her payback. I lunged forward, needing to get her away from that fucking biker. Butcher, Doc, Magnet, and Boxer all grabbed me, but I kept moving, dragging them with me, knocking tables over. She pushed the guy’s face away from her. My jaw was clenched so tight it ached. I was amazed my teeth did not crack.
I stopped fighting when she bent over. God, her ass was perfect. The whole crowd went crazy for it. Then she shocked the hell out of me. She pulled another woman close and kissed her. It was so fucking hot. When that woman dropped to her knees in front of Catalina, my dick went hard as a rock. But then I saw Catalina throw her head back. A single tear rolled down her cheek. I felt like the worst man alive. I should never have let another person touch me.
I watched her walk off the stage as the music ended. I ran for a door that looked like it led backstage and pulled on the handle. Locked.
“Hey, wait for her to come out. Then you can talk to her,” Doc said, clapping a hand on my shoulder.
“We’re heading back to the booth. Magnet and Boxer are staying with you,” Butcher said.
I nodded and sat down by the door to wait for my girl.
Twenty minutes went by. I scanned the club and saw a group from The Vengeful Angels leaving, including the big, bald fucker who had his face in my girl’s tits. He did not know she was mine, which is the only reason he still has his teeth. Another ten minutes passed. Two of the women from the stage came out, a redhead and a blonde.
“Hey. The woman, Catalina. Is she still in there?”
“Catalina? Oh, you mean Chaotic?” said the redhead.
“Yeah. Her.”
“She left about ten minutes ago with Tami. They went out the back,” the blonde said.
“What? Do you know where?”
“Well, knowing Tami, and we do, she’s going to talk Bull into letting her have some fun with Chaotic before he joins in,” the redhead said with a shrug.
“What the fuck does that mean?” I growled.
“Well, honey,” the blonde purred, “Tami’s taking Chaotic to The Vengeful Angels’ camp. Bull’s going to watch his woman go down on her before he fucks the life out of both of them. And let me tell you, he’s called Bull for a reason. He goes hard, and he’s packing a good ten inches. It hurts so good.”
“The hell he is. I’ll rip his dick off,” I snarled. I bolted out of the club. I looked left, then right, and took off to the right. I knew our club, The Reapers, and The Devil’s Sons were all camped to the left. I ran past rows of booths until I hit the camping areas on the beach. There were hundreds of tents and plenty of RVs. The sun was going down. Bonfires were burning, people and bikers standing all around them. I looked everywhere, but I could not see Catalina or the woman she was with. I searched for a tall, bald Black guy, but there were too many of them, and I had not gotten a good look at his face before. Just a big, bald man where he should not have been.
“Hey,” I said, grabbing a guy wearing a Vengeful Angels cut. “You see Bull or Tami?”
“What’s it to you?”
“Do not be an asshole. I just need to find them. We’re old friends,” I lied.
“Nah, man, haven’t seen them. That’s not strange, though. They fuck like rabbits. They’re trying for a kid!”
“Oh. Good for them,” I said flatly. Maybe I would not kill him if he touched my woman. Maybe.
I walked toward the beach, Magnet and Boxer following me. Some club girls came up to us, but I stepped around them. They latched onto Boxer and Magnet instead. I almost smiled as four women attached themselves to them, two each. They looked surprised, but then they grinned and put their arms around the women. Good for them. They were new brothers, and now they were getting the rewards that come with the patch. I kept walking, kept looking, until I reached the last bonfire.
About twenty Vengeful Angels and ten women were standing in a circle, cheering at something. When I pushed through the crowd, I could not believe what I saw.
Catalina
“You okay, girl?” Tami asked, coming off the stage.
“Yeah. I just needed to get back at my man. Or my ex-man. I do not know what he is anymore.”
“Whoa, he was here? In the club?”
“Yeah, in the back. Some blonde was all over him when I walked in. He went through something awful a few weeks back. I was trying to help him, but he pushed me away. I left the club because I thought he did not want me. Turns out it was some big misunderstanding. So I came to Daytona to surprise him today. But I got the surprise. He lets some stranger grind on him, but he walked away from me. So I decided to give him a taste of his own medicine. Now I’m just… lost. I do not know what I’m doing.”
“I’ve been there with Bull. Sometimes he forgets we’re supposed to be faithful. I get the biker life, but when he asked me to be his Old Lady, I told him I do not share. He agreed. Then one day I walked into the clubhouse after getting groceries with some of the other Old Ladies, and there was some new girl, trying out to be a club girl. She was on her knees for him. He did not think I would leave, but I did. I tore my cut off right in front of everyone. Told him he could go fuck himself. I ran and hid for two whole weeks. Word got back to me that he lost his mind looking for me. When I decided he’d had enough, I let him find me. He swore he would never let another woman touch him unless I said so. That was three years ago. We’ve been solid since.”
“I’m happy for you,” I said. It was true, but it also made my chest ache.
“Listen, come with me. We’ll slip out the back. I’ll text Bull, and we’ll take you to the Vengeful Angels’ spot. You can hang there until you figure things out. No one will mess with you if you’re with Bull.”
“Okay. Thanks.”
We made it to the VAs’ area. Bull was actually really nice. He made me laugh and even offered to go kick some sense into Viper’s ass. I just shook my head. We were having a good time around the fire when some guy started bothering me. He did not look like a VA, just some drunk college kid.
“Hey, baby. Let me see those pretty tits.”
“Back the fuck off, or I will tear you apart,” Bull said, standing up.
“Come on, man. Look, you already got a girl.”
I looked at this kid, then at Bull. A crowd was gathering around us.
“How about this?” I said, standing up. “You beat me in a fight, one on one, and I’ll suck your dick right here in front of everyone.”
The college guy swayed, then grinned. “Yeah, baby. But I should warn you, I play football for the University of Florida. I’ll destroy you.”
“We’ll see about that,” I said, grinning back. The crowd started cheering as we moved away from the fire and began to circle each other.
“I’m gonna enjoy shoving my dick down that pretty throat.”
I launched myself at him. He was not ready for it and fell back. I landed on top of him and started pounding his face. I was putting all my rage into it, every bit of hurt. I felt the skin on my knuckles split. Blood sprayed across my white top. I definitely broke his nose. He could not block my fists, and finally, he went still, knocked out cold.
A roar went up from the crowd, twenty guys and ten women all cheering. As I stood up and stepped away from him, I saw a pair of eyes burning into me, full of pure want. Viper.
