Page 27 of Spike (Iron Thunder MC 5)
We barged into the cabin as a team. There was a lot of shouting and firing of weapons. We wanted to shock Eagle out of his skin, make sure he had no time to react or run.
He was still on the couch with his phone fallen to the floor. We did it. He was too shocked to even move.
I lunged at him before anyone else had a chance. I dragged him off the couch and to the floor, pressing my boot to his face. I caught his arms and twisted them behind his back. He wasn’t going anywhere this time.
He didn’t even have a weapon on him. It was almost too easy.
Flash and Bolt came up. The others were checking the rooms and the rest of the premises.
“That’s it. He’s alone here,” Drax declared.
Flash pulled me off Eagle while Bolt grabbed him and tied his hands on his back. Two guys from the Granite Apostles took hold of him. Ghost said he was going to run back and drive one of the cars over here so we could put Eagle in the back seat and take him back to the clubhouse.
“How is Mary-Beth?” Eagle asked with a smirk, looking directly at Drax.
Drax was on the other side of the room. I saw the anger bubble in him. He was going to boil over. The way he took those long steps toward Eagle, with his fists clenched, I was sure he would end up killing the guy.
We needed him alive.
So I turned and punched Eagle in the jaw instead. It knocked him back but the others held him up. The punch was hard enough to knock the breath out of him and made him cough hard. But it wasn’t going to kill him.
Drax stopped in his tracks. It was a reminder for him to keep his cool. Eagle was just trying to work him up.
We would have to take him back to the clubhouse, but I already knew he was going to be a pain in the ass.10SabrinaAt first, when Spike introduced me to these women, I didn’t know what to make of them. Allegra and Mary-Beth seemed so sure of themselves. They were strong, independent women and strong-willed too. Mercy was more gentle, she was also the MC’s in-house medic. Sophie was busy serving drinks and food to the people who now filled up the bar.
“It’s a dive bar, hon,” Mary-Beth explained when she caught me looking around me with some curiosity.
“A dive bar?” I had never heard that particular phrase before.
Mary-Beth and Mercy exchanged looks while Allegra smiled indulgently at me.
“So, tell us what it’s like to be the mayor’s kid,” she asked, passing me a beer. Sophie had left a six-pack on the counter for us. They were all drinking, but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to.
“It’s nothing special,” I replied.
“Nothing special!” Mary-Beth exclaimed and the three of them smiled. “Sophie told us all about her first encounter with you. You must have been in complete shock when you first walked in here.”
The atmosphere soon became light and conversational, and I felt as if I could talk to these women. I felt as if they weren’t going to make any bitter judgements about me. Most of the other girls I usually made friends with in my circle were always in competition with each other. That was the reason why I stayed away from all of them and preferred spending time by myself.
“I was in complete shock, and Spike hadn’t prepared me for the kind of experience I was about to have.”
“But you’re back here now,” Mercy said with a smile.
“I don’t know what it is about this place. I guess it just kinda grows on you,” I replied and they all nodded.
“Yeah, I didn’t think this life was for me either,” Allegra said as she sipped her beer. “I wanted Flash. I wanted him from the moment we laid eyes on each other, but I wasn’t sure I was prepared for all the other things that came along with it.”
While Allegra spoke, I couldn’t help but blush deeply. She was speaking as if she could read my thoughts. As if she knew how much I wanted Spike. I had to look away.
“What comes along with it?” I asked, reaching for a can of beer, and noisily popping it open.
“I’m sure you’ll find out soon enough,” Mercy said with a chuckle.
“Or maybe she won’t have to, since this is just a temporary arrangement. Right? Spike is just guarding her for a short while, till more permanent arrangements can be made, or the problem goes away,” Mary-Beth was speaking now. It was obvious that she was the President’s woman. She had some authority over these women too. They smiled at me and nodded.
“I still want to find out what your life is like,” I said, trying to hide how curious I was. I really wanted to know what it would be like to be Spike’s woman.
