Savage (The Aces MC

Chapter 4

SAVAGE

The message came through from Mace about a meeting in the office, which was sent to a handful of us.

Looking up and catching my best friend staring at me, he gave me a nod and got out of his chair. I moved to follow, only to have a hand being placed on my arm which made me look down to see Lolly.

Fuck, I forgot about her.

The girl was a world-class clinger, and she had stuck her claws into me. I don’t like any of the girls here. They all want one thing and that is to get with a biker, and I am not ready to settle down for a long time. I’m twenty-three with my whole life ahead of me and I want to have some fun first.

“Baby, where are you—” she said, pulling me back to the present and I frowned at her.

“Need to go,” I gritted, removing her arm from mine and stepping away from her.

I could hear her call my name when I moved away from her, but I ignored her. It will only take a matter of time before a brother will have her, and from now on it wasn’t me.

Heading toward the Prez’s office, I got there just before Prez, Butch entered and was followed by Mace. Blade was already stood to the side, so I leaned on the wall next to him while Dagger and Doc were in the seats before his desk.

Mace closed the door and turned around, while Butch went to his desk and sat down. He looked between us and grinned. “I had conformation from Silver that the shipment is coming in tonight,” Butch declared, looking between us. “There’s more than enough to supply us with a better future and even more money.”

All of us nodded, grinning and knowing this would be the biggest score we ever had.

Stealing from the Sinners MC was the new thing we did since we learned what they were up to. Not to mention we are in talks to be working alongside Julian Costa. A man in this town everyone feared and was scared of him. He hasn’t made himself known to everyone in town yet, since he is still establishing his businesses here, and we are the first ones he had recruited to work with him.

The jobs have been coming in, but it has been all hush, hush since we don’t want Bear, the main president, to know what we are doing. He wants the whole club to go legit, which is what some of us wanted to do in the beginning until we started to get a taste of the money we were receiving.

Over the last year, we have brought in more money which I have started saving to get my own place. As much as I love staying with Blade, his old man and sister. I needed my own freedom to roam the world.

“When we leave the office, we all need to grab what we need. An overnight bag, just in case we need to take a trip off-grid,” Butch said, pulling me from my thoughts.

“Why would we need to go off grid?” Dagger gritted out.

Lately, the enforcer and Prez have been at each other’s throats, but no one knows why. Dagger has been staying close to Prez, like he needs to be watched, which is absurd.

Butch sent daggers his way but quickly recovered and looked to us before his eyes landed back on Dagger. “Well, you never know what will happen, we need to cover our asses.”

Dagger said nothing but glared at Butch.

Turning to Blade to see if he knew what was going on, we stared at each other, but he shrugged. Being my best friend and brother, he took me in when I needed a home. Butch and Blade are my family, even Effie.

Blade’s words about her having a crush on me, rushed into my head. I didn’t know what to make of it. Effie was six years younger than me, seventeen, for f**k sake. I couldn’t say if I had a crush on her back, even if I wanted to.

Effie wasn’t like most girls; she was their family. My family and I couldn’t see her like that. Besides, she doesn’t dress like anyone else. She dresses more like a tomboy, with her sweatpants and baggy T-shirt. Most of them look like they have seen better days.

Shaking my thoughts away, I listened in on what was being said, and we all left to get our bags to leave. We were leaving in the next hour, which meant it would give me some time to relax before we left.

We headed out of the office and out through the front door. I quickly looked around till I saw Lolly on her knees in front of Clown, sucking him off.

The corners of my lips tugged up, knowing I wouldn’t have to have anything to do with her for a while.

Clown looked at me and gave me a nod, while he gripped Lolly’s head, and shoved his c**k further into her mouth, while his eyes rolled back.

Turning around, since I didn’t want to watch anymore, there were a few others having a minor porn show going on which was typical here on these kinds of nights. I go to leave when I spot something pink out of the corner of my eye—Effie’s diary.

When Blade came in, he told me what he had done. I wanted to punch him in his face, but I had to hold back. Effie didn’t deserve what she was handed. No one should have, but there was nothing I could do. He was clearly pissed at her for doing something so horrible, but I didn’t know what.

Butch and Dagger weren’t the only ones being shady. Blade was too, but he would brush me off when I asked about it.

I quickly moved and grabbed the diary.

There was a silver lining, she would never know about this. Unless she comes here, which hasn’t been for a while. Hopefully, she won’t come in so it can all die down before she does, or it will be humiliating for her.

Placing the diary under my cut, I head outside and straight to the house where some of the brothers have now come to call home.

Butch opened it up when his old lady left. I don’t know if she was his old lady or not, but she was Effie and Blade’s mum. Most of the brothers only go there to rest, and to stay out of trouble.

I headed inside and went to my room.

Getting to the second floor, I went to my room and glanced at the door to the rear—Effie’s room.

I got her old room, which was unreal. The room was massive, and she should have kept it, it was more for her than me, but Blade mentioned she wanted to be in the attic. I don’t know if it was true, but I didn’t care or mind, as long as I had a room to call my own till I was ready to leave.

Effie’s door was closed, but there was no point in checking to see if she was there, since she was the only one who looked after the house, so she would probably be doing something.

Turning toward my room, I went inside and slammed the door behind me. Removing the diary from my cut, I placed it on my dresser. I can put it away when I come back. I didn’t want her to know Blade had taken it.

Grabbing my bag, I started to put my things I needed. Clothes and toothbrush, but also my blade. It was my father’s, which he handed to me the night before he was killed. I have kept it on me on every run I have been on. It is like my good luck charm.

Once everything was in my bag, I grabbed my guitar and started to play. This is what I usually do before I leave, it calms me down. I can’t sing but I played better.

**

An hour flies by and Butch calls for Blade and me to leave.

I head out the door, only to catch the pink diary.

Moving toward it, I stared. There was no point in keeping it out for someone else to find, so I opened one of my drawers and placed it under all my clothes. Keeping it from prying eyes, and then I will put it back when I get back from the run.

Once the diary was covered, I left my room and headed downstairs.

Opening the front door, I went to my bike which was parked next to Blade. He looked at me with a grin. “Let’s ride, brother.”

I gave him a nod and made sure my bag was secure on my back when I climbed on.

Dagger stepped to the side with a frown and was near Butch. They looked like they were having a heated discussion.

I thought he was coming with us. Watching the man, he shook his head and walked back till all our engines were on.

Making sure we were all ready to go, Butch looked behind all of us and then moved his hand in the air to let us know we were moving out.

We all started our engines and rode away.

When we got to the gate, Lark stood by the side waving us off with a grin. Hopefully he won’t be stupid and have a town girl with him. We need him to be on his best behavior tonight. No one could leave. A mass text went out to all brothers and club girls stating no one is to leave till we were back.

That was code for business was taking place, and everyone would find out when we get back what we got and if it was safe.
