Rage Pov
Devil Riders MC has been my family and life for the last 15 years. I was dishonorably discharged from the Marines along with Hades, where we served 12 years together. Getting kicked out of the Marines is something Hades and I will never regret. It led us to the life we have now and neither us nor our brothers in the MC would ever regret anything we have done. Looking around, I see our family happy and closer than anything I have ever had. I was starting to get concerned about Hades, the man can take care of himself and all of us, and he will do anything, even kill, to protect anyone in our family. My concern was over his personal life and the woman he wanted. For the last year, Hades has stayed away from the club whores and any other woman, for that matter, ever since Aspen turned 18. Over the last year, he has been too stubborn to claim her, but now that has all changed, all he needed was a little push and I gave him that. All members of the Devil Riders had served in some way, and found their way here. We all have our insecurities and Hades is his scar and his dominance over the woman he is with. What he isn't aware of is the fact I overheard Aspen and Lilly talking about the kind of men they go for a while ago. Aspen admitted the kind of man she wanted fits Hades to a tee in the bedroom outside of it, I'm not sure, but they will work it out.
"Hades has already started putting his foot down with his woman." Playboy says from the chair to my left, and I look at him as he points ahead of us. Looking at where he is pointing, I see Hades taking a bottle of beer out of Aspen's hand. The look on her face tells me she is pissed. Saying something to him, she pushes past him, grabs a bottle of vodka and walks away.
"Aspen" Hades calls to her.
"Bit me asshole" she calls back and walks inside the clubhouse.
"Oh, trust me I will," he says as she walks out of sight.
"They are going to be fun to watch," Law says from my right.
"Yup, but they will both get what they want in the end," I reply.
"Man, he is going to run every aspect of her life," Law says with a laugh.
"And that is where the fun is. He's going to take over and Aspen is going to push back until she cant anymore," I say, watching Hades talking to Tim, one of our prospects, yet his eyes keep flicking to where Aspen entered the clubhouse. I know he wants to follow her inside and, by the way, he is clenching his fists, he is fighting to do just that.
"50 bucks says he is inside looking for her in the next 20 minutes," Knives says.
"30 minutes," Law and Playboy say at the same time.
"2 minutes," I say, because I know Hades won't be able to stop himself.
"What the f**k" Knives says as we watch Hades storm inside.
"Pay up," I say, laughing. The rest of the BBQ there is no sight of Hades or Aspen. Several hours later with the BBQ finished, the club party was in full swing. Brothers were drinking and smoking, some sat talking and others shooting pool. A few of the brothers had already hooked up with some of the club whores taking them to a spare room or just f*****g in the open. Most of the older brothers don't touch the whores anymore, as that s**t got old fast. The younger brother will f**k any willing p***y.
"Our Prez looks pissed" Law mumbled, and I noticed Hades walking down the stairs to the common room. Walking behind the bar, he grabs a bottle of whiskey and heads our way.
"Whiskey is out he's definitely pissed" Playboy replies. Hades sits down without a word and takes a big drink from the bottle. No one says anything for a long time. We just watch Hades drink.
"You want to talk about it Prez?" I ask when he finally puts the bottle down, and I notice he had drunk just over a quarter. I know for a fact he will drink more and I sure as s**t ain't trying to take that bottle from him. The last time a brother tried, he ended up with a broken arm and a busted-up face.
"f**k" He gritted out, but we all heard the anger in that one word.
"Aspen okay? Where is she?" Knives asked. Then I saw it, the rage took over his face and entire body.. I'm surprised the bottle in his hand has not broken with how tight he is squeezing it.
"She went home and, no, I don't want to talk about it," he gritted out. One of two things had happened. Aspen either left before he could stop her or they had words and she stormed out. Either way, she is gone and our Prez is pissed. No wanting to piss him off even more, me and our brothers started talking and having a few drinks and the night moved on the club bunnies or club w***e as some would call them, came outside. The bunnies don't do anything for me anymore that s**t got old fast. I want a woman that is all mine who I can come home to every night. A woman none of my brother have f****d. Throughout the night I kept an eye on Hades how was drinking and not talking to anyone.
"Why don't you go to her house? Mia is with your mum for the night" I whisper to Hades.
"And have her tell me to f**k off and not even open the door" he grumbled.
"Who said anything about knocking on the door" I replied pulling a key out of my pocket and holding it in my palm in front of him. He looks at the key and then at me with a raised eyebrow.
"She asked me to look after her spare key in case she loses hers when she is out. She has done it twice since she moved here, and I had to change the locks" I explain.
"Can't ride, drunk too much," he replies, closing his eyes.
"I'll drop you off" I say.
"Ain't riding b***h on your bike," he grumbles.
"In the damn cage" I say. A cage is what we refer to a car or truck.
"Fine, but I ain't happy about you having a key to my woman's house." he says, standing up.
"Well, it's now yours. Grab your s**t and I will meet you out front. Oh, and Hades, don't forget your toothbrush," I say, walking off laughing. Making my way through the comman room, I saw several brothers f*****g the bunnies or getting blow jobs. Not at all interested or even getting a slight twitch in my c**k I walk right through and outside and climb into the nearest cage. All keys are left inside each cage just in case, plus no one could even think about stealing them. The clubhouse is protected by a 7foot concrete wall and a steel gate that has to be opened by a brother or prospect that is there all the time.
"Let's go" Hades said, getting in the passenger side and slamming the door.
"So, you gonna tell me why you were pissed off when you came back outside and started drinking?" I asked as I started the engine and set off. Hades said nothing until we drove through the gate, and it closed behind us.
"Aspen has three scars on the back. When I asked how she got them, she tensed up and told me it was none of my business. After some demands from me, some stubbornness from her, she told me to f**k off and stormed out," he replied.
"What" I grit out.
"Three scares, and they ain't small," he replied.
"Dare I ask how you know they are there?" I muttered.
"Let's just say her body knows it wants me and my hands like touching what is mine," he said with a smirk.
"Enough said, I don't need the details, thanks" I replied. I see Aspen as a daughter and no father wants to hear about his daughter that way.
"I will find out how she got them and if someone gave them her I will f*****g kill them" he grits out.
"And the club will be helping you. No one hurt one of ours" I reply. the rest of the drive to Aspens cottage is silent.
"I'll drop your bike off in the morning" I say as we pull up outside. The cottage is two bedrooms and small. It could do with a little work on the outside, but I get the feeling Aspen and Mia won't be living here for much longer not if Hades has his way.
"Any problems call me" Hades said getting out of the cage and grabbing his bag.
"Unless it's urgent, I will deal with it. That is why I'm your VP" I reply as he closes the door and walks towards the cottage.
"Who ever put those scars on her back better wish they were dead before Hades gets his hands on them" I mutter to myself as I drive off. We ain't a clean club and never pretend to be. We deal in drugs and guns and we have been hired to take people out permanently in the past. We have killed for a price and for the club before, and we will do it again. None of us are clean and anyone who becomes a club brother won't be either.
"Club life, it's who we are" I say smiling to myself because I wouldn't change a thing about my life or my club.
"The only thing missing from my life is a woman" I muttered.
