The one biker who calls himself Bricks, the president of the Steel Lizards, turns his mouth into a lascivious smile. It looks sort of grotesque and a total turn off. I’m not sure why, but I get this bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.
“We are in the right room, sweetheart.”
That is a term of endearment that I hear a lot. The biker from the Savages MC called me that, and I creamed my so-called panties. But the way Bricks says it, it’s bad news. It leaves a bitter after taste in my mouth.
“Did you pay for two?” I raise an eyebrow in challenge, trying to sound a lot braver than I feel.
My past is always a core memory in my brain. It reminds me of places and people I wish I could forget, and being in close quarters with these two scares me.
Don’t show weakness, Ruby, I tell myself. Weakness gets people killed.
With that last thought in mind, I pull my shoulders back and walk to the chair that is in the middle of the room but at a safe distance from the couch where the bikers made themselves at home.
I am on high alert and remind myself that I need to be smart about what’s going on here, because weakness may get people killed, but so does stupidity.
“We hear you’re friends with Hawk from the Savages.”
“Friends?” I huff. “He bought one private session. I danced for him. Then he left.”
I don’t offer any details on the fact that I was so turned on during the private session, I would’ve done a lot of things I’d sworn to never do with anyone, at least not anymore.
Bricks’ friend starts laughing. The patch on his cut proclaims he’s Snake. With his small and beady eyes, he looks like one as well.
“She’s a little more outspoken than Lala made it sound,” he says. “I like it.” He then licks his lips. “I’d fix that in no time.”
Bile rises in the back of my throat at the thought of his hands on me. I don’t get that very often, and I never discriminate against a paying customer.
Bricks watches me thoughtfully, almost as if he can read my mind. But there’s something more in his eyes.
“This is weird.” He drops his head to the side. “She reminds me of Arlene when she was younger.”
“Fuck yeah,” Snake snickers. “No wonder I’m hard as a rock.”
He takes a moment to rearrange himself inside his jeans.
“It’s a fuckin’ shame we have to get rid of her.” He lifts his chin in my direction. “This one would be a suitable replacement.”
“Too late.” There’s definite regret in Bricks’ voice. “She’s already spoken for.”
I frown in response to that, not understanding what they’re talking about. I doubt it is anything I’d like, anyway. I can’t believe Lala is associated with these people. It is making me question everything she’s told me about them.
“I am getting the feeling that you’re not here for a dance,” I finally speak up, ready to just walk out of here. The money would be good, and I’d normally do a lot for it, but not with these people.
Snake presses a hand to his crotch. “Oh, we’re getting that dance.” Totally cringe worthy.
“In a minute.”
Bricks cuts him off before bringing his attention back to me.
“Lala told us you are trustworthy.”
I don’t confirm nor deny what he said. Besides, he didn’t ask either. Instead, I just stare at him, refusing to even blink when he silently dares me to.
“She also said she told you about the Savages trafficking people.”
I nod this time. The thought of people actually being sold like animals is sickening. I should also be sickened by how turned on I was by Hawk considering what he does for a living.
“We need your help.”
