Chapter Two
“Do you wantme to hang around for another go, baby?” Ruby pressed her soft breasts against Chains’s back, draping her arms around him.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, he shook his head. “As tempting as that is, I’m gonna pass.”
“I’ll make it worth your while,” Ruby whispered into his ear.
Chains reached behind him and patted her leg. “You always do. I’m going to Chaco Canyon for a bit.”
“Need a companion?”
He untangled her hands and stood up. Pointing at the Siberian husky sprawled across the floor under the window, he smiled. “I already got one.”
“There’s no way I can compete with him.” Ruby pouted and scooted back against the headboard.
Chains laughed and pulled on his boxers. “No one can compete with Thor.” As if on cue, the dog sat up and barked, his tail wagging and his blue eyes sparkling. Chains bent down and petted Thor’s thick white fur. “We’re going for a hike, buddy,” he said, which made the dog’s tail thump energetically against the hardwood floor.
Ruby ran her hands over her full breasts, lifting and cupping them while she stared at him. “Are you sure you don’t have time for a quickie, baby?”
He winked at her. “Another time,” he said before walking into the bathroom.
When Chains came back into the bedroom, Ruby was gone. He glanced at his neatly made bed and smiled. Of all the club girls, Ruby was the one who never left a club member’s bed unmade. For the last few months, Ruby had been his go-to girl, but he’d been feeling a bit restless the past few weeks, so he figured he’d try out Lila for a while. Unlike many of the other members, Chains preferred to stick with just one club girl at a time for a while before he rotated to another one. Lila was one of the newer girls, becoming involved with the club just eight months before. As was the norm, the men were crazy about her because she was new and different, but now she was part of the club fabric so her popularity had waned a bit.
A rap on the door pulled Chains out of his thoughts, and he quickly fastened the belt on his jeans and crossed the room.
“Hey, dude. You wanna join us on a ride?” Crow said when Chains opened the door.
“Now?”
“Yeah. Aztec, Eagle, Metal, Rooster, Army, and Goldie are going. Army mentioned that you said you were wanting to go to Chaco Canyon. That’s where we’re heading.” Crow walked into the room.
Chains leaned against the door frame and watched his friend squat down and pet Thor.
“I’m not riding there because I’m taking Thor with me.”
Crow looked over his shoulder at him. “It fuckin’ sucks that you gotta go in a cage on such a perfect riding day.”
“Yeah… well, that’s the way it is.”
“Why don’t you take Thor for a walk on our property, then join us for the ride?”
The Night Rebels’ large three-story clubhouse was set well back from the road and sat on several acres that mostly consisted of grass, wild brush, and standing trees. A ten-foot-tall concrete wall topped with two feet of barbed-wire surrounded the motorcycle club’s property, and access was through a steel gate as tall as the wall. Security cameras lined the perimeter of the property, and the gate’s control and intercom system allowed the club members to screen out undesirables. A sign attached to the gate read in bold white lettering: Trespassers Will be Shot.
“I want to take him somewhere different. The run up some of the trails will be good for him.”
Crow straightened up and jammed his hands in the pockets of his jeans. “Are you still thick with Ruby?”
Chains shrugged and shifted from foot to foot. “I was just thinking about that when you knocked on the door. I’m thinking to move on to Lila. Why?”
“Just wondering. I met this cute citizen the other night at Cuervos and she called me today. Said she wanted to get together over the weekend but her cousin was visiting, so she asked if I had a buddy. I could hook you up with her. Are you interested?”
He scrunched his face, deepening the lines on his forehead as he shook his head. “I don’t go for citizen chicks, you know that.”
“Yeah, but this cousin doesn’t live in Alina, so I figure she’s a good bet. You won’t have to worry about her getting too clingy or shit like that. It’s a change from the club girls.”
“Yeah, but I’ll pass. Ask Aztec or Eagle. They’re always looking to get laid without any attachments.”
Crow laughed as he walked toward the door. “Aren’t we all?”
