“Remember that night we met, Billy?” I spoke in a low voice now. I wanted to do anything, say something that would slow him down from whatever fate he had planned for me.
With his brows crossed, he glared at me.
“Yeah, what about it?”
“You said I was beautiful and that you wouldn’t stop till you made me yours.”
“I always get what I want,” he replied, grinning a little as he said so.
I gulped and nodded.
“Yes, I guess you do.”
“Well I fuckin’ did till I met you!” he spat the next instance. My heart sank. I thought this line of defense would work. “Ever since you, everything just went tits up.”
“I don’t know what you’re blaming me for.”
“I’m blaming you for everything, you bitch!” He brought his face up close to me again.
A year ago, I would have flinched—afraid that he was going to raise his hand to me. But tonight I didn’t. I was at the point where I didn’t actually care what happened to me anymore.
It was all going downhill from here anyway.
“You had demands. You wanted things. A house. Clothes. Bathtub. All that shit!”
“And I paid for most of it, Billy. I didn’t ask you for anything. You bought that bathtub as a gift for me.”
He rubbed a hand over his face.
“Well I didn’t want to be tied down.”
“Then you should have left. You should have broken up with me. We weren’t married. We weren’t tied to each other.”
“Left you so you could go fuck some other cock?” he hissed. His eyes narrowed on me and I could see how jealous he was of Flash.
I hung my head down. “Billy, I just want to sit down with you somewhere and talk this through. We can work it out.”
“Do you have the fuckin’ money?” he asked.
“No, I don’t. But I can get it for you.”
Without an answer, he grabbed my arm again and started pulling me.
“I swear I can get it for you!”
“Who will give it to you? Your new fuckin’ boyfriend? I’ve made my own arrangements. Don’t you worry your pretty little head over it.”
“What arrangements? I cried. “Billy, tell me! What arrangements have you made? What are you going to do to me?”
When he didn’t answer, I started struggling again, trying to wriggle out of his grip, pull myself away. He lost his temper and whipped around to grab me tightly again.
“Listen to me, you fuckin’ bitch. You’re not going anywhere. Do you get that? I’m not letting you get away. One year I spent hunting you down. One year to get the money you fuckin’ owed me. You owe me!”
I could feel the tears in my eyes but I fought against them. I didn’t want to give in to the weakness of crying. I didn’t want him to see me like that.
“So you can try and run but you won’t get far. I’ll hunt you down again. I’ll strangle you with my own bare hands if I have to,” he growled. I spat at him. I wasn’t thinking of my safety anymore. I spat at him because it was the only thing I could do.
Billy wiped it off his face but he was smiling now. He was sure that I had no escape from this.
“I hope they give you exactly what you deserve. You and your new boyfriend,” he hissed.
“They? Who? Who are you talking about?”
Now a new fear gripped me. Billy was selling me off to someone. Who? Why would anyone else want to hurt me? None of this was making sense.
He grabbed me by the back of my neck, bringing me up close to his face again so our foreheads knocked. The smell of the stale beer on his breath was sickening.
“You got yourself tangled up in some serious shit, sweetheart,” he said with a wide smile. Whatever it was, Billy was enjoying this.
I shook my head, or rather, tried shaking it. He was still holding me so tight that I could barely make any movements.
“Please tell me who you’re talking about.”
“The Silver Knights. That’s fuckin’ who. Stop acting like a little deer caught in the headlights. You know exactly what I’m talking about!” He released his grip on my neck and I stumbled backwards.
The Silver Knights…I’d only heard of them in passing. Flash mentioned something about them as the rival MC. But what did they want with me?
“I have nothing to give them…” I began but Billy shut me up.
“They noticed I was following your boyfriend and his MC, and they figured they could get me to do a job for them. I happily obliged, of course.”
“They want me? Why?”
“Because you are one of them now. You’re one of the MC girls. That cock you’re fucking comes with a price.”
I was shaking all over. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I’d had no idea Flash was involved in anything with the Silver Knights that would put a price on my head.
