Chapter 1
Torque
Walking around the reception, I watch my brother Bear smile more than I’ve ever known him to do so. I’m happy for them but the whole falling in love bit isn’t for me.
“Another wedding, another brother, leg shackled for life.” I shake my head.
“One of these days some woman is going to come around and change your mind about love.” Blade says from beside me.
“Of course you believe that, you’re one of those that got leg shackled.” I laugh. “Women, especially the ones that come into this club, are fucking crazy.” I growl.
“Still sore about the snakes, huh?” He laughs.
“I’m still planning my revenge. I got to wait for Fiona to pop out my nephew first though. Then it is on.” I vow but Blade laughs even more.
Before I can call him what I’m thinking of calling him, a tiny hand grabs my arm.
“Hey Uncle T!” I look down at Luna,Prez and Mina’s little girl. She holds her arms up to me indicating she wants me to pick her up which I do and set her on the table between Blade and I.
“Shouldn’t you be playing with the other kids?” I ask.
“I was trying to build a castle in the sand box but Hunter knocked it down and told me I wasn’t a princess.” She pokes her little lip out.
“Of course you’re a princess!” I argue for her and get a cute little grin. “Come on, I’ll help you build a bigger one.”
Lifting her from the table, I nod at Blade as Luna and I walk towards the huge sandbox the Prez had built for the kids.
That’s where I stay until the parents ofthe kids order them all to bed. Then I proceed to drink as much as possible, making it back to my room and passing out some time around three in the morning.
I wake to a cold nose pressed against my own. Opening one eye slightly, I’m met with a low playful growl from my dog Titan.
Titan was a street dog. I adopted him when he pissed on my buddy Austin’s ex-wife. After treating him to a steak dinner, he hasn’t left my side. I’m thinking about getting him his own sidecar and goggles so he can ride with me.
I don’t even have to look at the clock because he wakes me up every single day at the same time, exactly like today since I took him off the streets.
“One of these days you’re going to sleep in and I’m going to wake your ass up.” I murmur to him.
He sits back on his haunches, tilting his head to look at me. When I close my eyes for longer than he likes, he yips right in my ear.
“Fine! I’m getting up!” I rise up on the bed just as he jumps around in circles, moving closer to the door.
Putting my clothes on quickly, as well as my boots, I grab my shades from the night stand, slipping them on before grabbing his leash.
“Let’s go see if Bella’s Brew has those muffins we like so much.” I say, opening the door. He barks back in answer, more than ready for breakfast.
We take my jeep into town, parking right in front of the door. You can smell the coffee and other baked goods from outside.
Walking in with Titan at my side, more than a couple of the people inside, move around us, not wanting to get close.
I guess Titan does look more than a little scary. He’s a huge ass dog with a wide head that’s a credit to his breed. But it’s also that breed that everyone is so afraid of without even having a reason to be so. Kind of the way most are afraid of bikers.
