“Oh my God,” I whisper at the ceiling. My back arches and lifts off the floor, and my vision becomes blurry. I am incapable of forming words anymore.
The pleasure crashing into me is a wave that carries me to heights I’ve never reached before. No one has shown any real desire to make me come before. If I did, it was good, if I didn’t, oh well, they were paying me to make them come, not the other way around.
I become aware of my surroundings when I feel Hawk pulling his fingers from out of me. He sits back for a moment before standing up, presumably looking for the bathroom. Since the place is small, he has no trouble finding it, then I hear the water running.
With sudden moves, I pull my sweatpants back up and track my tank top down. I pull it over my head and make myself presentable, sort of, by the time Hawk comes out of the bathroom.
His heavy boots echo around the apartment when he walks toward me, not stopping until he is about to step on my bare feet.
“I’ll make sure to pay you for this,” he tells me in a neutral tone.
For whatever reason, I am offended by that. While I do get paid at the club for participating in various activities in the private rooms, I’ve never felt like a hooker until this very moment.
“Consider it a freebie,” I manage to tell him.
He starts laughing, the sound hurting my head. I need him out of my space. I also need him to forget he knows where I live.
“A freebie,” he wheezes out in between coughing fits.
Someone banging on the ceiling interrupts our very entertaining for him conversation.
“Shut the fuck up,” the neighbor from upstairs yells out. “People are trying to sleep!”
Hawk touches my face, his thumb once again touching the edge of the bruise I have on my neck.
“You’re a lot cuter than I’d expected, Ruby,” he tells me. “I’ll be here for a few more weeks. And you’ll be seeing a lot more of me.”
I swallow around the lump in my throat, but don’t say a word. Hawk turns around and walks out of my apartment. I wait for a second to make sure he is out of the house altogether before rushing out to lock the front door, followed by the door to my apartment.
When I look to the side, I notice on the kitchen table the cell phone he took from me when I got out of my car. I grab it and open a text to Lala. I type in all the information I just learned before pressing the phone to my chest.
I don’t feel any relief from doing that. Instead, I am overwhelmed by fear. And guilt.

Hawk
“Rumor has it that the Savages MC are encroaching on the Steel Lizards MC territory.”
Devereaux gives me a look of approval. I just nod and take a pull out of my cigarette, the smoke almost chocking me before giving me the relief I crave.
“Bricks has been making lots of phone calls to strategize. Since he is calling all the people I thought he would, we are in good shape.”
I’m not sure what he wants me to do here, congratulate him maybe.
“I will need you and a group of your boys out in Austin,” he tells me out of nowhere. “It’ll be a big mission, no time to waste.”
I take another pull from my cigarette. This time, I do choke on it. The smoke gets stuck in my chest, causing me to cough endlessly. For a bizarre reason, I just can’t catch my breath at all.
“I can’t do anything without the direct approval of my president,” I finally manage to wheeze out.
Just then, my phone rings. I look at the caller ID, then lift my eyes to Devereaux. On a different person, the look on his face would look smug. But that’s how he looks in general, content in the knowledge that he always has everything under control.
“Yeah,” I answer the call from my president.
“Congratulations on a job well done, Hawk,” he tells me. “Fucking a stripper has never been this lucrative to us. Keep it up.”
For reasons unknown, his words sound hollow in my ears. I’ve been visiting Ruby every night for a week now. I am getting addicted to her touch, and disappointment tastes bitter on my tongue when she follows through and reports everything I tell her to the other side. That is what she is supposed to do, what we want her to do, but it still bothers me that she is loyal to them and not me.
