Along With The Ride Novels & Stories

And I'll be damned if we don't use it. The ride to the clubhouse is nothing but static—plans, angles, a dozen ways this can go wrong and the one way it has to end right. Catch the bastard. Shut it down before it spreads. I roll into the lot on my bike, engine snarling before I kill it. The place is already packed—cars and motorcycles lined like soldiers waiting for orders. War's ride stands out, his muscle posted close by. Good. He showed. Everyone's here. Ready to move.

The air smells like leather, gasoline, and anticipation. Jace looks up when he sees us. “About time. Thought you two were gonna make out all morning.” Reign flips him off without breaking stride. “Shut up and get on your bike.” Jace grins. “Yes, sir.” I stop next to my ride—a blacked-out beast with fresh tires and a full tank. Reign lingers beside me while I swing my leg over, settle into the seat, clip my helmet. He rests one hand on the handlebar, the other on my thigh.

The rumble vibrates against my thighs, and I feel the power of the bike as I pull away. I give the bar one last look as Killian; I and two other Zetas rip down the worn road

Kaden is grinning wickedly at me; he definitely has something planned! ~*~ Adrenaline courses through my veins; I just went on the most intense ride at the theme park! "That was fucking awesome!" Dyanna squeals beside me, clapping her hands excitedly, "what's next?" "I think.. that!" Kaden points to a ride; automatically I just start shaking my head. All I can see of this ride is five separate loops, and a big drop at the end. It's some kind of rollercoaster.. But an insane one!

The excited screams of riders echoed in the air, mingling with the metallic clatter of the ride’s mechanisms. “This one looks fun,” Alexis said, practically bouncing on her heels. “Sure,” Eric said, his enthusiasm unwavering. Jaxon said nothing, his expression unreadable. I could feel his eyes on me, though, and it took everything in me not to snap at him. “Let’s pair up,” Alexis said suddenly, a mischievous glint in her eye. “Good idea,” Eric said. “Riley and I can ride together.” “Actually,” Alexis said, her grin widening, “I was thinking Riley and Jaxon should ride together.”

They wanted to get Alaric and I together. Honestly, with how uncomfortable things had been between us lately, I didn’t think I’d mind being able to just sit with him for a minute. “What do you think?” he asked me. “Want to ride?” “Okay,” I said. He let me go first, so I took the inside of the seat. Alaric took the outside. Then the bar was latched over our laps, and the ride moved forward to let the next riders on. From ahead of us, the kids looked back and giggled.

Elise left the hospital with Damien’s message still open on her phone. The man in the dark suit had stood at the billing desk the whole time she waited for her rideshare. He never looked at her, but she felt him there. She sat in the back seat of the car and kept her bag on her lap. The driver stayed quiet. She was glad for it.

Chaos growls, starting his bike. One by one, we speed up, racing down the sandy road toward the compound. Hopefully, all in one piece.

I suggest. "I mean, we have to work tomorrow. Maybe we should reserve some time to just rest at the hotel and maybe watch some show or something," "Ummm, okay. I like that." The ride starts and I hold on to him again. "Don't let go," I instruct him. "Never," he utters back and I know he would hold true to that promise. The ride delivered everything it was supposed to deliver. The anticipation, the drive, the zeal to want more and the unexpected turns it ever took. By the end of it, I was glad I listened. He wasn't lying. This was the best ride I've taken.

It's not a combination I'm accustomed to. We're heading to Payson early on a Sunday morning and the road is mostly empty. Sofia's arms locked tightly around my waist make the ride sweeter. It's been a long time since I've ridden with a babe on the back. It wasn't something Savannah cared for. I gain speed and enjoy the wind against my face and the roar of the engine. I allow my thoughts to settle on the club. There's nothing like working out problems while flying free.
