“You’re welcome.Astera rode it to make sure it was working well.”
“Astera?”I question.“She told me you did.”
Foster smirks.“Yeah.She took real good care of it.”
I smile.That fucking woman.I bet she looked sexy as fuck on the bike too.I shove the thought out of my mind for the time being.We all load on our bikes and file out in the order we are supposed to be.Nerves swirl in my belly as we pull in behind the white van.The ride should only be a mere fifteen minutes, then fifteen minutes back to the club.
We reach the halfway point; I notice masked men on bikes come up on us fast and hard.One hits Hayden right off his bike while two men take over the van.This is not good.I try to determine my move as I don’t have a gun.But a third guy tries to get me off my bike, but I slow down to see how Hayden is.The guy is fast and on me in a flash.
They don’t know I’ve been in prison and working out.It’s all I’ve done.And in the darkness, they can’t see my size.I stand over six foot four.One of the masked men is ballsy enough to come over to try and land a punch.I give him one before he pulls a gun on me causing me to stop in my tracks.“No one needs to die,” I state, throwing my hands up.
One guy comes over.“Everyone face the fucking rocks.”Which basically means the opposite of the highway.
We do as we’re told because I know there will be retaliation once we figure out who they are.I’ll fucking kill a bastard.My eye throbs, and I regret letting the guy get in one punch.Now I know we all need guns, even though I don’t like carrying one.
Once the van takes off, it only takes the other men a few seconds to follow while we wait until they leave.“Mother fucker!”Cutter shouts.
“You okay?”I ask Hayden.
He brushes himself off, “I’m fine.But my bike is worthless.”
ChapterEight
ASTERA
Sitting on the porch enjoying the night breeze, I anxiously wait for the guys to return from their job.Immediately spotting Griffin, I see how bad his eye is.
“Oh my god.Are you okay?”I rush over to Griffin before he even loads off the bike.
“I’m fine.You should see the other guy,” he smirks and then winces from the pain.
“Come on.”I take his hand and lead him to the closest bathroom, where the first aid kit is.“Sit,” I instruct as a matter of fact.
He does as I ask while I grab the kit, flipping it open, I retrieve the antiseptic and begin to clean his eye, and he flinches.
“I’m sorry.”
“You gonna show me what that surprise is that you mentioned earlier?”he asks.
“Let me fix your eye.Patience, Griffin.”I smile, placing a butterfly bandage just under his eye.“You’re all set.”
“Now, show me.”
I help him stand up by grabbing his hand and heading to his room.“Lie down while I go grab you an ice pack.”
“Astera.”
“Griffin,” I state while I quickly grab an ice pack from the freezer and return to the room.“Here,” I say, handing it to him.“It’ll help the swelling,” I say as I lower myself on his lap before releasing the strap of my top to show him it readsHis.
“His?”he questions.
“I know I got this in a hasty manner, but I feel like we have one hell of a connection.We always have.I’m telling you that I’m yours.If you want me as your ole lady.”
Gripping the back of my neck, he crashes his lips to mine.I let his tongue dominate my mouth before I have to pull away.
Smirking, I ask, “Do you like it?”
“No.I fucking love it, babe.Fucking love it.Mine.I definitely want you as my ole lady.”
