“I’m Viking.”
Acid throws his head back and laughs while I smile at the way Viking just dives right into the conversation.
“I’m Makayla. It’s nice to meet you.”
Viking grabs his beer and tips it to his lips. I watch his throat bob as he swallows, and heat swirls low in my belly.
What the fuck is wrong with me?
I’m not normally so affected by men. Don’t get me wrong, I’m no Virgin Mary, but it’s been a hot minute since I’ve let myself get involved with anyone. Typically, I’m more interested in research books than boys, but apparently, Viking is the exception.
“I haven’t seen you in here before,” I comment. “Are you new to the area? Just passing through?”
Seemingly over his shyness, Viking grins, and I swear my panties dampen.
“We just got to town a few weeks ago,” he tells me. “We started a chapter of our MC here.”
“MC?”
“Motorcycle club,” a third man supplies as he steps between Viking and Acid and slings his arm around their shoulders. “I’m Inferno, and the two behind me are Demo and Reaper.”
I glance past him and see two more men, but they’re facing the stage and completely engrossed in Tempe’s dancing skills, oblivious to anything going on around them. With the way they’re turned, I’m able to make out the patches on the back of their vests.
Valhalla Rising MC.
I’ve never met bikers before. All five of them appear dangerous, and I’ve no doubt they can be as deadly as any television show portrays, but there’s something about Viking that draws me to him, danger be damned.
“Hey, Makayla.”
I turn and see Sarah walking toward me. “What’s up?”
She grabs my arm and tugs me away from the men. “You should stay away from them,” she whispers harshly.
My brows shoot up. “Why?”
“They’re bikers, and that only means one thing… trouble.”
“Have you met them before?”
“No. But I’ve met their kind.”
“Their kind?”
“Yeah, their kind. Hardened men who don’t give a shit about anything but their motorcycles and the open road.”
Looking over my shoulder, I try to see them from her point of view, but I can’t.
“They seem nice to me.”
“Just stay away from them, okay? I don’t want to see you get hurt.”
Yeah, I don’t think I can do that.
