Once he had me where he wanted me, he snapped handcuffs on my wrists and hung the chain on a hook from the ceiling. My feet were touching the floor but only with my toes. The cuffs were cutting into my wrists. My face and head throbbed, and I thought I might have a broken rib. It felt like a repeat of that beach house in Riviera Beach. Only these guys meant business. The big one was bad, but I was pretty sure Pinhead wanted to torture me more than they already had. The really shitty part was, I wasn’t certain how long I could hold out.
I kept my one good eye open. The other was starting to swell shut. The last thing I wanted to do was lose track of them. There were only three, but that was way more than I could take on by myself with any degree of positive outcome. Yeah. I was well and truly fucked.
“What’er we gonna do with the bitch?” The one who’d been beating on me the most, Pinhead, looked like he wanted to start on me again. Relished the idea, even.
“We’re gonna wait until we get instructions from that freak, Victor.” That one was the biggest and seemed to be the leader. Neither of them seemed too bright, but this guy kept staring at me like he was looking for something specific. “He said she’d be ridin’ a pink bike, but also that she’d be dressed in pink. I was also expectin’ another woman with her. And some bigass black guy. Only thing this one matches is the bike.”
“What? You think we got the wrong bitch?” The last one had a full head of bushy hair he was continually brushing out of his eyes. Looked like he hadn’t washed it in a couple months. Smelled like the rest of him hadn’t been washed in that long either.
“Not sure.” The guy kept eyeing me. I didn’t let him stare me down but met his gaze with a steely one of my own. Well, with one eye anyway. “But I need to find out before Victor gets here. If we didn’t get the bitch he was after, we’ll be in a world of hurt.”
“True,” the smelly one agreed. “How we gonna be sure?”
“I’m gonna go scout out that motorcycle club. See if I see someone who looks a little more like the description we got.” He pointed a finger at Pinhead. “You touch her again, when I get back, you die. Get me?”
“Ah, come on, Butch! It’s boring and I wanna have a little fun.” Pinhead looked almost gleeful as he stared at me, licking his lips and playing with the stud in one corner of his lip with his tongue. Gross. Oh, I was gonna have so much fun with that piercing when Rocket got me loose…
“No more! If she’s the right woman, Victor ain’t gonna be pleased. He gave explicit instructions we ain’t supposed to hurt her. Not ‘til he said.”
“Oh, I ain’t hurt her.” He stared at me and flashed me an evil grin. If I’d been a weaker person, I might have shivered. This man would kill me if he got the chance. Just not right away. “Those were just little love taps.”
“Just shut the fuck up and leave her alone. I’ll be back in a couple of hours.”
Yeah. I could tell that wasn’t happening. I’d be lucky to be conscious when Butch came back. And who the hell was Victor? More importantly, how did I get word to Venus she had someone after her? Because there was no doubt in my mind it was Venus they wanted.
The door slamming shut sounded like a death knell. Mine.
Pinhead waited until I heard the van start up and drive off before he gave me an evil grin. “You gonna scream, bitch?”
I knew better than to say anything. Knew it like I knew my own name. Still, my mouth just couldn’t get the message. “Too soon to tell. The better question would be how loud are you gonna scream when my man gets here?”
He laughed. It wasn’t a pleasant sound. “You really think someone’s gonna find you out here? We’re on a nature reserve, you fuckin’ cunt. No one’s even allowed in here. Yet here we are.” That kind of surprised me. There hadn’t been any windows in the van so I hadn’t been able to look out, but the length of the trip and the general vibe of the place told me it was entirely possible I was in my home territory. Which meant these guys were even more fucked than I was.
“Hmm… nature reserve? And there just happens to be a hunting cabin? You guys build it?”
Pinhead snorted. “Didn’t have to. This place has been here for years. Probably here from before the government took over. Nah, bitch. We didn’t build it. But we’re damned sure gonna use it.”
This couldn’t really be happening. There was no way I could get this lucky. “So, let me get this straight. You happened upon a random cabin in the woods and just… decided to use it?”
“Wuddent no one usin’ it. Hell, no one comes out here.” That from the smelly one.
I sighed, shaking my head. “No fuckin’ way this is happenin’.” I muttered the comment more to myself but Pinhead thought I was talking to him.
“Oh, it’s happenin’, bitch.” His sneer made me want to cunt punch him. “It’s really fuckin’ happenin’. And when I get through with you, you’re gonna wish you’d kept that fuckin’ mouth of yours shut. ‘Cause I’m gonna fuck the bitchiness right outta that blow hole of yours.”
“Did you think this was a conversation?” I tilted my head, trying my best to look confused no matter how much my face was hurting. No matter how scared and in pain I was, I absolutely would not let him see it. I was the vice president of Grim Road MC. I couldn’t tell this bastard that in case he got away before I could kill him, but I could act like it. I would act like it, Goddamnit! “I’m talking to myself. Because there is no possible way in the history of mother fuck you could be this Goddamned stupid on purpose.”
As expected, he backhanded me again. The force snapped my head to the side and I tasted blood. It took every bit of mental strength I had to keep my toes on the ground and not let my knees buckle. Strong. I had to be strong.
“Now who’s stupid, you fuckin’ cunt!” He was up in my face, just looking for a reason to hit me again. I knew it. But I wasn’t about to back down now.
I laughed and I knew it sounded more than a little bit crazy. “You are.” I laughed in a sing-song voice. “You have no idea where you are or who you’re getting ready to have to deal with.” I grinned at him. At least I hope I was looking at him. That one eye was now completely swollen shut and there were dots dancing at the edges of my vision in my good eye. I tilted my head and tried to project the same effect on him I had to the club girls when I’d first come back to Grim Road as Rocket’s old lady. I leaned in and whispered, “You’ve stepped onto a very… grim… road…” God, could I get any cheesier? But Lord, it was too funny. Well. It would be funny. Weeks from now after I’d healed. And had a proper meltdown.
Pinhead laughed, then snarled and backhanded me again. This time, my feet slipped and the cuffs on my wrist took my entire weight. How I managed to stay conscious I had no idea. Probably because I was just that Goddamned stubborn. I wasn’t going to pass out and give this fuck a chance to touch me without me fighting back. He might hurt me. Might even kill me. But I would not go without a fight or giving back as much as I could. I was the vice president of Grim Road, Goddamnit! And if I kept telling myself that, it would help me be strong. I would prove myself worthy of their trust in putting me in this position.
“I’m gonna enjoy playin’ with you, little girl.” Pinhead leaned in and licked up the side of my face. “When I’m finished -- if there’s anything left -- I’ll give you to some friends of mine. After they’re through? Maybe I’ll ship you back to this man of yours. In multiple boxes.”
I grinned. “You’re so fuckin’ fucked, and the sad part is, you don’t even know it. When they get here, I’m gonna remove every piece of metal from your face. With needle-nose pliers.”
