“What’s this got to do with him fuckin’ Rosemary?” Viper demands, cutting into the conversation.
I glance at the other man and see the way his face contorts. When he’d first gotten with Jade, I wasn’t too sure about him. Then I got to know him, and he’s become like a big brother to me since.
Rex ignores Viper and keeps his gaze leveled on me. “You shouldn’t have gotten involved with him.”
“Why? Why did you do what you did?” I can’t even say the words even with keeping my emotions locked down.
“Because you refused me. You refused to be mine. I wanted you, and you gave yourself to biker scum,” he snaps.
“You were my boss and friend. Hell, we were roommates. I told you plenty of times that I thought of you as one of my best friends.” I had actually thought of him as this. I mean, the guy could make me laugh while doing burpees. He pushed me when I was in the ring and told me where I was weak and needed to work on. Helped me train to become better and even helped me when I had classes to teach.
“And we were perfect together. You should have been mine. But you had to give yourself over to some biker who doesn’t know what you’re capable of. How you need to be able to spread your wings. He was going to keep you stuck when you needed to make a name for yourself.”
Baffled by this statement, I shake my head and look away. I don’t know what else to say to him. It’s clear he’s delusional. Kevlar and I spent one night together. One night. I hadn’t even said anything to him about it, so how did he know?
“Why did you sell her out? Was it just because of the business going bankrupt? Or because she turned your ass down?” Kevlar demands, his tone sends chills down my spine. He lets me go and steps forward, and I realize what’s happening. This isn’t just the man right now, this is Kevlar. Fury all but visible as it vibrates off him. Those taut muscles of his, you can see the veins bulging.
I swear I’m not getting turned on by seeing him like this. He’s not cocky in any way. There’s only one word to describe him at this moment . . . dangerous. That’s exactly what he is. Rex has him pissed, and he’s ready to commit murder.
You can see it in the way he moves, the expression on his face, and how he prowls forward, not walk, prowls like a predator stalking its prey. The sight of him like this is hot, but it’s not something I think I can handle right now. I need to get out of here.
I learned what I needed to know, at least what I figured was what Rex was going to say. He’s delusional, and I’m just done. I don’t want or need to hear more. He confirmed and proved his craziness. That’s enough for me to know I don’t need to be here for what’s about to happen next.
Backing away, I catch Kevlar’s eyes. He gives me a sharp nod and jerks his chin toward the door. In his gaze, I see what he doesn’t say. He’ll catch up with me later, and I know just how I want him to find me.
CHAPTER12
KEVLAR
Never before have I ever been so happy to see Rosemary walk away as I am right now. She doesn’t need to be here for what’s about to happen. Fuck, if it wasn’t hard to restrain myself as I have so far.
“You want to use electricity?” Wolf asks once the door closes behind Rosemary.
“No.” This fucker was going to feel pain by my hands no other way about it. Rex is a delusional fucker thinking I tainted Rosemary by fucking her.
Fuck that.
Fuck him.
He’s about to learn real quick what happens when you mess with me or the club. There’s a reason the club had dubbed me with Fist while I was a prospect before earning my road name. I thought I’d be Fist to the club, but I earned my name as Kevlar with that shit that happened during Jade’s situation. But that part of me is still there. I’ve always been a fighter.
My dad taught me to fight when I was just a kid. I’ve learned everything from karate, jujitsu, boxing, hand to hand. Anything and everything I could, he taught me. It was a way of discipline. To learn to control my anger. It works for the most part, but as my mother once told him, it also makes me a danger to myself. She knew as mothers, good moms who give a damn know.
“Oh fuck,” Aries mutters and announces, “he’s going to fight the bastard.” Aries has known me for years. We grew up with each other. His parents actually live off-grid in the same area as mine. Where I was an only child, Aries has two sisters and a brother. I always thought he was lucky to have siblings. One of his sisters is in New York working as a photographer, while the other is still home with their parents. His brother disappeared, and no one knows where he went off to. No one’s heard from him in a year now.
“I’ve heard what he can do in a ring.” Wolf chuckles as a few of my other brothers grumble.
“Let’s get to it then,” Viper commands harshly. “Maybe he’ll spew some more shit while getting his ass handed to him.”
“Fuck all of y’all,” Rex snaps. “You’ll regret messing with me.”
“Shut the fuck up about regretting shit,” I snarl, stepping into the cell, closing it behind me. The jarring sound of it locking doesn’t even phase me. Not in the least. It’s simply a cage fight. One that will end with Rex’s death.
It’s kind of ironic, really. The bastard who helped in all of this is going to die the same way my woman’s been forced to kill other women. You could even say it was whimsical, a twist of fate.
“You think you can beat me?” Rex sneers, stretching his neck out, and bobbing his head side to side while hopping around, shaking his hands. “I’m a professional fighter. You’re nothing more than a measly biker.”
“Measly biker.” Aries chuckles. “This douche doesn’t know what he’s up against.”
