Hell Froze Over, page 6
Stone, War, Knight, and Charro all moved in unison to get their women gone. Rain and Treat didn’t go quietly and neither did the rest when their men approached them, especially Shady. She stared at her men with a determined look on her face and Creed finally said, “Back to the compound and then we meet, all of us.”
Apparently, that was enough to make the women all stop arguing and move to their bikes. Kink took Boo’s arm and she was sick and tired of being pushed and pulled around. She snapped loudly, “Does anyone want to ask me what I want, where I wanna go?” Shady turned around and looked at her with that same look she had given her men, stepped right up to her, and pulled her away from Kink.
She made sure they were fully away from where everyone could hear and she spoke quietly, “Right now, I don’t really give two shits about where you wanna go, but I am gonna give you one choice in this whole thing. Now, if you choose to walk to your car and take off for places unknown, never to darken the club’s doorstep ever again, I will make sure Kink and Magnum stand down and let you go. However, we have all thought you were part of the Lady Riders and the Warriors since Bic introduced you. It doesn’t matter how that happened, but it did. This is why we are all standing on your curb pissed the fuck off that someone dared to fuck with one of our own. Now, I hate like hell to do this right now, but this is serious and we need to deal with it. So choose, right now, are you in or out?”
Boo looked into Shady’s eyes while she talked and everything she said was true, Boo knew it, she could walk out of here and she would help her. For some reason though, she said the Lady Riders thought of her as one of their own. How the hell was that even possible? She had never accepted an invitation or whatever they called it. She bit her lip and looked around, all of the Warriors and Lady Riders were waiting for her. Her.
“Are you sure everyone thinks I belong? Because I’m not sure,” Boo whispered and Shady looked at her intently and then turned around and yelled.
“Ladies?” Shady barked. “Vote, yes or no, Boo?”
Boo held her breath, oh God they were voting on her on the sidewalk in front of her sad little apartment, with strange people kinda watching. This was embarrassing, why would she do this to her? Boo would never be able to ever show her face again in this town if they voted her down.
All of them, in unison said, “Yes!”
Boo froze, oh my God, they said yes? What the hell? Why would they? But she didn’t care, because they had said yes, YES, to her, Betty Bromp was voted into the Lady Riders MC, holy shit, she needed a drink.
“Okay,” Shady said as she turned back to her. “Now pick.”
Boo took in a deep breath as she fought the tears that were threatening. She was a biker bitch now; she didn’t cry for goodness sake. She forgot everything for a second and reveled in the feeling. But then Shady whispered, “Boo, pick.”
She nodded slowly and then she saw Kink and Magnum frowning, she wasn’t ready for them. “Um yes, but um, can I drive my car please because it’s the only mode of transportation I have until I can get a badass bike.”
Shady grinned and nodded. “Yeah, you can drive until you get a badass motorcycle to drive. I will even have the guys start making the drawings for it. The Warriors are gonna open a shop here as well, after they get their tools.”
“Oh well, cool,” Boo said softly, trying to keep the giddy squeal her inner chick was saying as she danced in a circle in her head. She was a Bitch now.
Chapter Seven
Boo pulled in behind Shady at the main clubhouse and got out of her car. Kink and Magnum had followed her even though she had tried to tell them she could make it here just fine. They were dismounting as well, when all of the Lady Riders came to her. Bic was the first one to say anything.
“How in the hell could you not know you were a part of the Lady Riders?” she said with a frown.
Rain added, “Yeah, you have been through all of this with us.”
Treat laughed. “The good, the bad, and the ugly.”
Jilly chimed in, “Heck, if you aren’t a Lady Rider then neither am I.”
Nike rolled her eyes. “Um, I am pretty sure you both are Lady Riders because of all the shit we have gone through together.”
Bob stepped around and glared at Boo. “What the fuck? You are supposed to be birthing this kid. I am not having a stranger looking at my hooha, damn it. I thought I made myself perfectly clear, woman.”
Freedom grinned and said, “Um yeah, ‘cause none of us are gonna look at her hooha.”
“Hell no,” Harmony said and then Shady rolled her eyes.
“Can we stop talking about Bob’s hooha and move on to more important things. Like who the fuck is messing with Boo as a warning to us!”
“Um,” Boo said softly, answering all of them. “I didn’t realize because I had my head up my ass apparently, yes I have been through everything, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Jilly, you are more of a Bitch than I could ever be, and even though we have gone through a lot of stuff, no one said anything. Bob, I would be proud to be the only one looking at your hooha while you deliver a baby and yes, we can move on now and figure out who is fucking with us.”
“Thank God,” Shady said and Boo watched her leader in her jeans and chaps with a Lady Riders’ jacket on over her tank top, hair swinging perfectly behind her back in a hair wrap, and all Boo could think of was, I am part of the cool person’s crowd. Shady was the optimum of coolness and she was my friend. Hell to the yeah!
Three hours later, they were no closer to figuring out who the hell was sending them threatening messages. It didn’t make sense, Kink thought as he looked at Magnum who was just as pissed. Boo was between them, although she still had no idea why and what it meant. The others did, because when she had come into the room, both men had surrounded her and let the others know they claimed her.
Regardless of what they planned, everything was gonna go to shit soon, because Creed and Fork were gonna put her on lockdown with guards because of the situation. Both men knew they would have to do one of two things: turn over the renovations to someone, or make sure that whoever was guarding Boo was doing it at their house. They had wanted to take it slow, but this wasn’t gonna work that way apparently.
Creed and Fork were staring at them intently, which meant they were going to be asking questions soon. Kink knew Magnum would be on the same page as him. He nodded to Creed who caught the movement and nodded back. Now they were going to have to convince Boo she was staying with them.
“Boo,” Bic said quietly. “Do you remember if he was driving a bike or a car?”
Kink watched and Boo frowned and then closed her eyes as if to picture the man. She had done this several times over the last few hours and she had remembered more details each time. Like his breath, which they had all laughed at. She also remembered he wore a hoodie, not a cut, but he had on biker boots, which seemed odd to her, she noticed them because they were like Freebyrds.
“I heard a motorcycle after I got into my car, but when I pulled out of the lot, I remember looking and seeing not only a bike, but a car. The one who warned me was in the car. The man on the bike was much larger and was yelling at him. He was wearing a cut,” Boo said and opened her eyes. “I couldn’t see the patch, he was facing me, so I don’t know what club he belonged to.”
“Obviously someone is coming to San Diego to cross the border, they have a shipment of something. We aren’t supposed to stop them. Well, fuck that. No one crosses our border unless we know it. This is bullshit, they are gonna test us, and we are gonna make sure that we let them know they will not win,” Creed said and stood. “We double up the rotation on the border we own. No one gets through unless we give them permission. You know the Furies have absolute control on using our passage. No one else, they need to have permission with a text code. Stone, War, Easy, and Poke will get the schedule hammered out. The Lady Riders will need to make sure everyone they are helping are truly people who need it, you will have Enforcers in your business houses until further notice, make sure you tell the women about them, I don’t want them to freak out. Boo, as of right now, you are on lockdown with a guard at all times. For some reason they have honed in on you. I get you have classes to go to, but Shady also said you took a few weeks to heal. You will do that here, and hopefully by the time you have to go back to your classes we will have everything set, or we will have found who was threatening us. Either way, they came to you, and therefore you are a target.”
Boo took a deep breath and nodded. She knew the Lady Riders had several rooms for their project she could use. It kinda sucked, because she didn’t have any clothes, or well anything. Plus, they were already putting guards there, it would be perfect. She shifted a little though and whispered to Kink who was closest, “Umm, do you think someone could umm, get me a few things I need. Everything was kinda destroyed.”
“Make a list and we will make sure you get it,” Kink said with a smile.
“Okay, well you can tell them I will be at the Lady Riders’ house, I will need to see which room is open,” Boo said.
Magnum turned then and frowned, but gently said to her, “Babe, you aren’t staying at the Lady Riders’ place. They are all full right now, with everyone moving. We need to add more houses, but they aren’t built yet, people are getting rooms where they can.”
Boo nodded. “Oh of course, I forgot. Well, I’m sure I can stay with Bic, I will check.”
Kink shook his head and said, “Nope, we have a nice bungalow on the back side of the compound, right by Creed, Fork, and Harmony. You will be staying there, and we will be your guards at night, and they will assign someone for the day when we need to cover the renovations.”
Boo bit her lip, she had a feeling this was gonna happen because she was sitting between them. She knew what it meant, she wasn’t completely dumb. She had been around these guys enough to know when they placed a claim on someone. She was nervous, but she was also more than ready to see if the men she had been lusting over were really as good as she thought. Things were moving fast though and she wanted to get to know them a little more, you know, just to see if they were really that perfect.
She looked at both men and nodded, they both sucked in a breath and she held up her hand. “Hang on, there are some rules.”
Kink laughed quietly and looked around and then nodded to Creed so they knew they were leaving. He stood and Magnum did too, and he held out his hand for Boo to take. She looked at the girls who were watching intently and knew if she asked they would make sure she had a place to stay. But then she looked up and put her hand in Kink’s and allowed him to pull her to her feet. They walked to the door without a word with Magnum following them.
After they exited, she could have sworn she heard clapping. Kink and Magnum didn’t hesitate, they both took her to the main room and found a table in the back. Magnum sat down with her while Kink went to the bar where a Prospect was bartending and got them all a beer.
When Kink put it in front of her, she took a nice long pull of it. She didn’t drink much, but she was certain she needed to have a beer before they had this conversation. They sat quietly for just a minute. She realized they were allowing her to get her thoughts together and when she looked up, Kink was studying her intently. She missed this about him, although today she had actually seen him be serious. She had also seen Magnum grin a few times, which kinda threw her, they were switching roles, or they were both similar.
Kink leaned back and said, “We have been dancing around this for the last two years.”
Boo’s eyes got wide and she said, “Um, we have?”
Magnum leaned forward into her space and chuckled softly. “Babe, you know every single time we came here and saw you, we had to take a cold fucking shower, like twice a day.”
“But you guys had to have had um, women besides me,” Boo said.
“The last time I fucked a woman was six months after I met you. No one felt right, and trust me, Mag and I have both talked about this. When we are all in the same room, it is like we are magnetized to you. Both of us are drawn to you, and both of us know what we want,” Kink drawled and Boo looked at them. She was a Bitch now, she needed to behave like one. No more of that wimpy shit. She was sweet, she knew it because she tried hard to be that way. Now she had everything she ever wanted laying right before her, all she had to do was reach out and grab it.
“Well,” Boo said softly. “I agree this attraction has been going on for a long time. I also know when you sat me between you in the meeting room you essentially claimed me. My question is, for how long? I mean, I understand in your world claiming a woman could mean a lot of things. I just want to know right from the start where we are going.”
Magnum nodded. “Yep, that is what we did. But to answer your question, for as long as we all agree to this. I can’t tell the future, nor do I want to. This whole thing is new for all of us. I have never claimed a woman before, neither has Kink. We have in the past shared a woman or two and we know each other. We have talked and we want this. Now, I feel like Kink is a brother to me. We both are attracted to you and have been for a long time. We have attempted every time we came here to get to know you a little more. I don’t think we know everything, but we do know a lot. I want to know more, as does Kink. So, think of this as a practice run. You come and stay with us for as long as there is a threat, both of us agree we want to make sure you are safe. After the threats over, we can see where we are.”
Kink nodded and added, “We have a spare bedroom for you to use until you decide you want to go further. Make no mistake, we intend to take this further, all the way, but we will not force anything, you know us. Now, you just need to trust us.”
Boo nodded. “I trust you, duh. We have been friends for a long time, there is no question whatsoever about that. I just feel like I am not uh, experienced enough to have…”
Magnum leaned closer until his face was pressed into her neck and she felt him kiss the side of her neck and then he whispered into her ear, “Baby, that makes no difference to us, we know what we want, and we are going to stop at nothing to get it. You need to understand, we want you, not a ménage, although that is fucking hot to us, it is still not what this is about. Kink and I want to take care of you in all ways.”
Boo shivered and then she heard Kink’s chair move until he was at her other side, and she felt him kiss her neck as well and whisper in her other ear, “Sweets, you are all we want, nothing will change that at all. So please don’t think of experience, think of how we make you feel.”
Shit, right now, seriously if they asked her for everything she had, she would give it to them. “Okay,” she whispered and the men pulled back a little.
“Baby,” Magnum whispered softly, damn that made her hot, them being so close, it was driving her nuts. “Make your list.”
She closed her eyes and nodded. Kink pulled a piece of paper from the bar and a pen. “Come on, sweets, let’s get you settled.”
She nodded and began to write. She needed everything so it took a while. Kink and Magnum spent the whole time touching her hair, stroking her arm, and whispering at her, especially when she wrote underwear, they laughed and said they would take care of that personally.
The club began filing out of the meeting room. All of the girls smiled at her and waved before settling three tables away. It was as if they were all giving them room, and she wanted to laugh. This was the first time she was here as a member of the club, it felt weird because before, she would come in here only if she had to. Now she could see herself coming in here and relaxing like the rest of them.
Finally, she was done and Kink took her list and looked at it and began muttering, “Shampoo, conditioner, toothbrush, toothpaste, hair ties.” His head turned to the side and he cleared his throat. She knew where he had gotten to and she wanted to giggle. She knew at this point they were going to let her run to the store.
“Sweets,” Kink said and she turned to him expecting him to say he would drive her to a Walmart or Target. “What are your sizes?”
Boo frowned, she wasn’t going to tell him what size for anything she wore. “Um.”
Magnum leaned out and looked to the bar and yelled, “Maxi!”
Their brother appeared before them and Kink handed him the list, she could see they scratched off the underwear though. What the hell was she supposed to do without clean underwear? She wasn’t going commando, she was a female, that wasn’t right.
“Hey,” Kink said. “Mag and I will go to the Harley Store, you go to Target.”
Was there underwear at the Harley Store? Boo wondered, and Magnum winked at her and then whispered into her ear, “Victoria Secrets is right next door.” She rolled her eyes and laughed.
“What the hell?” Maxi said, looking at the list. “Why do I always get sent out to buy tampons?”
Boo wanted to hide under the table since all the men laughed loudly. Shady stood up and walked over to Maxi and put her arm around him.
“Maxi,” she drawled. “If you didn’t whine like a bitch, you would never have gotten that name. You remember Candy?”
All of the guys groaned and Boo frowned, she had never heard that name before. “Who is Candy?”
Shady laughed loudly. “You know we all used to dance at Bitches right? I mean, I know there is like one or two people who hadn’t come to visit the old compound. But when we moved, we moved everything. So Bitches will be here, Slinging Ink will be here, the Bike Shop will be here. But we don’t have dancers yet. Candy was a dancer at the old club, and she was a bit of a hanger-on. Maxi loved Candy, in fact, I believe, Maxi did Candy a favor once.”
The whole room groaned loudly and Maxi looked like he was about ready to blow.
