Page 69 of Jerry's Passion (Insurgents MC Romance)
Belle walked over to him and hugged him. “Please don’t overreact to this. I showed you because you asked me to keep an eye on Kylie this summer, but I want you to remember how it was to be young and curious about sex.”
“If she’s fucking who I think she is…” He slammed his fist down on the table again.
“You raised her well. You have to give her credit for knowing who is right for her and who isn’t. These areherfeelings for a man, not yours.”
He cracked his knuckles and looked at her, his expression tight. “Enough. I gotta go.” He kissed her quickly on the forehead and went out to the garage, slamming the back door. Jumping on his Harley, he peeled out of the driveway and rushed to the clubhouse, adrenaline pumping through his body.

“What the fuck’sbeen your problem for the last few days? Shit, you’ve been acting like a bitch who has PMS,” Throttle said to a glum-faced Jerry as they leaned against the bar.
“Maybe he’s in love and she can’t stand him,” joked Rock.
“Maybe the two of you should shut the fuck up before I bust you in your mouths.” Jerry turned away from them and stared at the back wall behind the bar as his two brothers guffawed and ribbed him more. Ignoring them, his thoughts drifted to Kylie, as they always did. Seeing her with Ricky the previous Saturday night had driven him crazy. When he’d seen her enter Burgers & Beer Joint, he’d been blown away at how beautiful she’d looked, and when she’d passed his table, her familiar scent drove his dick into overdrive. He’d been fucking miserable since he’d told her it was over. The truth was he didn’t want it to be over. He wanted her in his life—always had.
All the hookups he’d had since he first had sex back in high school were superficial—a collage of one-night stands, nameless faces, and pleasure induced encounters. Nothing was real until he saw her, but she was young and off-limits, so he watched her grow from afar, burying his desire in easy pussy and booze. Then she was grown up but still off-limits, but the desire he had for her had grown until it was too big to contain. He’d finally succumbed to it, loving every minute of being with her.
The first time he’d taken her, he’d seen her reaction—beautiful and raw. The times they’d spent pleasuring each other were more real to him than anything in his life ever had been, and he’d felt her like the beating of his own heart. Even though he’d pushed her away, the tie they forged was still molten, and he knew it always would be.
As he brought his beer up to his lips, it flew out of his hand. Startled, he turned around, his gaze falling on Banger’s red face and pulsating vein above his temple. Instantly, Jerry’s stomach hardened as he stepped back, squinting.
With his finger in Jerry’s face, Banger screamed, “You fuckin’ sonofabitch! I told you never to touch my daughter!” He slammed his fist into Jerry’s face, making him stumble back further. Then Banger punched him in the stomach and Jerry dropped to his knees. He kicked up, aiming for Jerry’s chin, but Jerry grabbed it and pulled him down. Banger recovered and, with the agility of a mountain lion, pounced on Jerry, pummeling him over and over. “You fucked my daughter, you goddamned piece of shit! Don’t ever get near her again!”
The front door swung open, and Jerry looked out of his swelling eyes to see Hawk come in, dash over to them, and pull Banger off. Banger swung his fist at Hawk but he ducked.
“Calm the fuck down! What the hell’s going on here?”
Banger jerked away from Hawk, nostrils flaring, chest heaving. He started to go back to Jerry, but Hawk held him back, and Jerry breathed a sigh of relief. “Throttle, Rock, help Jerry to his feet,” Hawk ordered.
Two pairs of strong arms set Jerry upright, but then he jerked away. From the stack of napkins on the bar, he grabbed a few and placed them against his bleeding mouth and nose.
“Get the fuck outta my sight, you sonofabitch! Turn in your goddamned patch! You’re out of the Insurgents.”
Behind Banger, Jerry saw Axe lower his head. Jerry didn’t harbor any ill feelings toward his brother. He was doing what an Insurgent always did—giving loyalty to the brotherhood and the president. Throwing a quick head tilt at Axe, he wiped his hand on his jeans, debating on whether to leave as Banger requested or wait to see if he’d cool down.
“Why the fuck are you still here?” Banger snarled.
In a calm voice, Hawk said, “The bylaws don’t forbid members from having relations with any of the members’ family.” He placed his hand on Banger’s shoulder, but he shoved it away. “You know we’ll have to call church. Just because Jerry is going out with Kylie isn’t grounds to throw him out of the club.”
Jerry was grateful Hawk was there to be the voice of reason.
Banger glared at Jerry and Hawk. “He’s isn’t ‘going out’ with my little girl, he’sfuckingher!”
“That’s not true. I’m not just fucking her. I care a lot about Kylie.” Jerry stuffed the bloodied napkins in his jeans’ pocket. Banger growled. “I know I should’ve manned up and talked to you about going out with her, but I didn’t think you’d let me date her. So I thought—”
“You’re fuckin’ right I wouldn’t have agreed to you going out with her. You’ve fucked every whore in the clubandoutside of it. You fuck two and three women at a time. You think I want my daughter with a man like that? What, you were bored with the whores so you decided to stick your cock in my daughter?” Banger lunged at him again, and it took both Hawk and Rock to hold him back.
“It’s not like that, Banger.”
Throttle came up behind Jerry and whispered in his ear, “Shut the fuck up, dude. You’re making things worse for yourself. Fucking tell him you screwed up, take the punishment, and leave Kylie the hell alone.”
Ignoring Throttle, Jerry looked Banger in the eyes. “I broke it off with her because I know I’m not good for her.”
“The asshole got something right,” Banger hissed.
“But that doesn’t mean I used her. I have strong feelings for her. Very strong. I lo—”
Banger growled and tried to go for him again, and Hawk said, “Jerry, it’s best you get your ass outta here. I’ll let you know when we have church on this. In the interim, stay the hell away from the club.”
