The car tires screech to a halt when we arrive smack dead in the front of the bank.“Let me handle these jokers.”
“Griffin will have my ass if I can’t protect you.”
I toss him the pouch of money and tell him, “Just watch my back, prospect.”
Exiting the SUV, I slam the car door shut, and Diego of the rival bike crew puts his bike on the stand and walks over to me, where I lean against the back of our car, Killer standing just outside the driver’s side door.
“Diego.What can I do for you?”I knew it was the wrong question to ask the moment the words left my mouth.
He reaches a gloved hand over and messes with the strap of my tank top, and it falls down my shoulder.But before he can get a word out, I sweep his legs and take him down.The move is used in karate and mixed martial arts as a tactic to take your opponent to the ground.
I bend down to face him, “Don’t you ever touch me again.”
He throws his hands up in defense and laughs.“Jesus Christ, woman.”
I look at his buddy, Carlos, who is sitting on his bike watching all this.“Do you want some too?”
“Nah.”He puts his hands up in defeat.
I walk over to Killer, his mouth hanging open, I grab the bag from him.“Make sure they leave.”
Inside the bank, I make the deposit and head back out to the car.The bikers are no longer around.
“Where did you learn that move, Astera?”Killers asks.
“I’ve been with the club long enough, I know how to defend myself because of Hayden, and the other guys who were willing to teach me.”
“Well, that was fucking amazing.”He raises a hand for me to high-five.“I can’t wait to tell the guys what happened.”
I laugh.No man is going to want to fuck around and find out.The club already knows I can handle myself, which is why I was put in charge of making the deposits and whatever other responsibilities I do.
“Thanks for watching my back, though,” I tell him.
“You clearly didn’t need me to.”
We share a laugh and arrive back at the club.Inside, the guys are already sitting at the table eating breakfast.
“You guys are not gonna believe what I saw Astera do,” Killers announces.
“What?”Cutter asks.
Becca shoves a plate of food in my hand, and I sit next to Griffin while Killer tells them what happened.
“Damn, that’s my girl,” Griffin says.
“Yeah, looks like all that training helped,” Hayden adds.
“Way to go,” Cutter says.
“It was nothing,” I try to blow it off.“Killer was a good wingman.”
“So, who was the crew?”Cutter asks.
“It was fucking Diego and Carlos from the Dirt Machine Outlaws,” I tell them.
“Figures it was our rival,” Hayden says.“Wonder what they wanted.”
“Probably to finish what they started the other night,” Lock cuts in.
