Minus

The DEMONS who’d cooked up last night’s events had taken up residency inside my skull. They jabbed me awake with their pitchforks and set up some sort of sadistic slide show of last night’s events. Strange scenes played out in my mind like fragmented flickers, and I could barely make sense of what was real, and what was imagined. The last thing I clearly remembered was a tray of shot glasses, the karaoke machine firing up, and dancing with two very handsy women. Shit, for all I knew, I was currently in bed with one…or both of them. I was afraid to open my eyes and look.

“Good morning, lil’ cowpoke!” Clutch burst through the door.

“What the fuck Nicky? What time is it, man?” Every ray of sunshine in the room felt like a paper cut to my corneas as I forced my eyes open.

“It’s nine-thirty,” he said, setting a cup of coffee, and an iPad on the nightstand next to the bed.

I pulled the covers back and checked the bed for anyone else. Thankfully, I was its only occupant. Not only was I

    Cricket“Back to bed,” Jase said, but I shook my head.“I’d rather curl up on the sofa with you and watch a really stupid shoot ’em up movie.”He grinned, leaning down to kiss me gently. “I can do that.”“Die Hard?” I asked hopefully.“Even though it’s not Christmas yet? Wow, you must really feel like shit. Die Hard it is.”I clapped my hands and slid off the stool, grabbing for his arm when a wave of nausea hit me.“Shit,” he hissed, wrapping an arm around my waist.“I’m okay,” I said, taking a couple of deep breaths. “It’s passed.”“I’m gonna get you settled, then give Eldie a call.”“She just left, honey,” I countered. “She’ll call when she has anything.”He frowned but dropped it and got me settled on the sofa, grabbing a fresh pop and another sleeve of saltines.Once he parked his butt beside me, I snuggled close to him and he started the movie. The last thing I remember before I passed out was the passenger telling Bruce to take off his shoes and make fists with his toes. Still

    ChristinaTwo years later… I awoke with a groan, then made a mad dash for the bathroom and puked… again. This had been going on for a week, and I was totally over it.“Babe?” Jase called. He’d forced me to take a nap (which I never did), because I’d been feeling like shit since we got up.“In here,” I said into the toilet.“You still sick?” he asked, hunkering down beside me.“What gave it away?” I retorted.“I’m callin’ Eldie.”“Don’t bother her, honey. She’s busy. It’s just a stomach bug. It’ll be over in a few days.”I glanced up when he didn’t respond, but he was gone. I pushed myself up and washed my face and brushed my teeth, then went looking for him. He was in the kitchen, setting saltines and a lemon-lime pop on the island. “It’ll calm your stomach.”“Thanks, honey.” I sat up at the island and nibbled at a cracker. “You can go, I’m good.”Jase had a meeting at the club, plus it was Wednesday, which meant Church was only a few hours away.He slid his hand to my neck and strok

    CricketOne week later… A strong arm slid around my waist as soft lips kissed the back of my neck, and I awakened with a smile. “Sir, if my man finds you in this bed with me, you’re gonna be in a world of hurt.”His arm moved from my waist, his hand pushing my panties down my thighs and slipping between my legs. “I won’t tell if you won’t.”“You make it worth my while, and I won’t say a word.”I lost his hand briefly so he could guide his dick inside of me, then he reached back around and fingered my clit while he thrust slowly into me. I arched against him, sliding my hand under my cami and rolling a nipple into a tight bud.“Love it when you work your tits, baby,” he rasped, pushing deeper into me.“Love it when your dick is buried inside of me, baby,” I retorted, and he pressed his palm harder against my pussy, slamming into me.My clit hit the roughness of his palm and I felt an orgasm threaten to hit, but I wanted this to last, so I gripped his thigh and moved with him. “Get the

    MinusHe seethed.“Not a very tough name, is it? I guess Viper’s better. Anyway, Gus, let’s face it, you’re a shitty father. That rathole apartment that your child and his mother were staying in was unacceptable, amigo, but we’re gonna take care of that. We’ll move them into a nice place and take care of their rent and basic expenses every month. We know Carla dropped out of school when you knocked her up, so we’re going to make sure she goes back to college as well.”“I can take care of my family,” Viper said.“Yes, but you won’t, or else you would have already done so by now. You’re a piece of shit, wannabe thug, and they deserve better, so you’re gonna get outta town and stay gone.”“Sure thing, I’ll just be on my way, then,” he said.“Not so fast. That’s just the first reason for you to leave. My second reason. My Sergeant at Arms, Clutch, and our new associate from the Dogs of Fire, Hatch, also have reasons of their own.”Clutch got directly in Viper’s face. “I’m the fuckin’ stic

    MinusCricket wasn’t lying when she said Booker was good at what he did. The information he was able to dig up on Viper was invaluable. As it turns out, he and the Dogs of Fire were more than happy to lend a hand in any effort to rid Portland of the growing scourge of Los Psychos. Within hours, he’d given us Viper’s real name, but also names and addresses of several of Viper’s known associates and family members, his full criminal record, and most importantly the current residence of his baby mama (along with little Viper Jr.) in Old Town.Clutch and two of our club’s most trusted officers, Wolf and Goldie, currently stood with me outside of said residence, along with Hatch (acting as an official presence from the Dogs of Fire). I’d sworn an oath to them that we were not here to execute anyone. We were armed and prepared to defend ourselves, but my goal was to avoid bloodshed at all costs.We’d staked out the apartment all last night and through this morning. Viper’s old lady and kid

    Minus“Everything,” I said. “Just because we haven’t been able to find a paper trail on him, doesn’t mean one doesn’t exist. Ask Booker to throw everything he can on this guy, and I’ll make sure he’s compensated fairly.”“He won’t take your money. I can guarantee that,” she said.“Then, tell him he’ll be helping to take a bad guy off the streets, and that the Burning Saints will owe him one.”“What are you thinking, Minus?” Cutter asked.“I’m thinking we can either solve this the way we used to, with brawn, and start a war with Los Psychos by killing Viper and his crew…”“Or?”“Or, we can use our brains and find a way to end this before things get worse for everyone,” I said.“I agree, but what’s data-mining gonna do for us at this point? The war has already started, hasn’t it? I mean, shots have been fired. Look at you!” Clutch exclaimed. “I’m the club’s Sergeant and I’m saying it’s time to hit Los Psychos now. While they’re down.”“We don’t even know if they are down, Clutch! For al
