The Savage Outlaw (Sins of Fire Real Anarchy West #4)

Chapter 2

Chapter Two

Bananas n’ Cucumbers

D id you know there are many ways to make someone disappear?

Eden left her phone on the table and walked to the bathroom of her small apartment and looked at her reflection in the perfectly clean mirror. The bathroom had the soft scent of lavender. The porcelain sink, toilet and tub shined as though they were freshly installed and unused. That was the power of anxiety and fear mixed together.

Do not fucking fall for his shit again , she whispered to herself in her head.

She steadied her gaze and did not allow herself for a second to feel anything negative. Cody was nothing more than an abusive prick. Forced to wear the title of ex for good reason, even if he didn’t want to accept it.

The locks have been changed twice.

I’m safe.

Of course Eden knew that was a lie.

She couldn’t remember the last time she actually felt safe.

Liv was always up for mixed drinks and gossip. Especially when it came to Eden’s job.

Liv worked at an art gallery, sometimes decorating, sometimes selling paintings, and sometimes painting some of her own stuff. Her life thrived in the arts and she kept to that world. She and Eden had been friends since college when a computer error paired them up in a dorm.

An art student with a science nerd. That in itself wrote plenty of fun experiences, but their friendship never stopped growing.

Sometimes Eden felt Liv could get too annoying, thinking that working in a hospital was like they show on television shows. Sure, there were intense moments and scary moments. Moments of wild sadness. Things Eden had seen that gave her nightmares and would remain in her memory forever. But the idea of constant drama and everyone fucking each other and hot doctors walking around all the time…

It really wasn’t like that at all.

Of course the second Liv got wind of a biker being in Eden’s care, her annoyance jumped to a whole new level. Liv stood in front of the television.

“Look where I paused it,” she said to Eden.

Liv’s eyes were fuzzy and her cheeks extra red. Her signal to the world that she was buzzed.

“Liv,” Eden said. “Please…”

“I mean, some of the stuff in this show is based on real things, right? Like real bikers and motorcycle clubs and all that. It’s real. It’s out there. You’ve seen it. I know you have. See how they all sit at the table. So you think your bikers have that?”

“ My bikers ?” Eden asked, lifting her eyebrows.

“You know what I mean. You’ve seen it. The way they come and go. You were in the room with… Priest …?”

Eden swallowed hard. “You know there are things I can’t talk about. Legally. There are laws about—”

“Oh, but his gigantic dick was okay to talk about? Or the fact that he had his dick pierced and you got to take it out?”

Now Eden’s cheeks turned red. The bathroom door opened and out walked Sophia, wearing their old college name on a hoodie from that college which felt like a lifetime ago.

“What did I miss?” Sophia asked. She glanced at the television screen and groaned. “This again?”

“I want to know!” Liv cried out. “It’s so intense and sexy.”

“This is a fucking television show,” Sophia said.

“But the bikers at the hospital are real.”

“Of course they are,” Eden said. “They’re people like us. They just live differently.”

“They spend their entire life pushing up against the law,” Sophia said. “They all end up arrested. It’s part of their thing . It’s almost like if you’re not arrested, you’re not part of it. I’m sure you have some sick fantasies in your head, Liv, and that’s fine. But if you think for a second going near these kind of guys is smart…”

“She’s been with these bikers day in and day out,” Liv said, pointing to Eden.

“It’s my job,” Eden said. “I’m not there asking questions. Those guys are terrifying if you want to know the truth. They’re big and they look mean. They have a smell to them too.”

“Smell?” Sophia asked.

“Think… old gasoline, leather and cigarette smoke. And the smell of whiskey. And just…”

“You like it,” Liv said. “You’re getting excited. Sophia, get her another drink. We need her good and drunk like she was the night she told us about the size of Priest’s dick.”

Eden hung her head in disgust, yet with a smile on her face. She always kept to the gross and gore of the job because that’s what Liv loved the most. Sophia too. They both loved hearing about nursing stuff. The grosser the better.

Then came the night when Eden had a little too much to drink and ended up running her mouth in a different direction. In her defense, she was told to take the penis piercing out of Priest. He was not conscious when this happened. The attack left him close to death. He was within minutes of death when he came in.

But, yes, Eden was the one who moved the sheet off Priest’s body and had to tend to the piercing . She wore gloves, obviously. Standard medical procedure. The sight of his… thing … Eden had never seen anything like it before.

Her first thought when she saw Priest’s dick?

This guy should not be a biker. He should be in adult movies. He would make a fucking fortune.

Her second thought after that…?

How does that thing fit into a woman?

A mouth? A vagina? What about… back there…

A second nurse ended up helping Eden handle Priest’s piercing. She was some floating nurse who Eden really didn’t know. The woman was in shock the entire time, her face bright red as they, together, held Priest’s dick. Four hands touching him with room to spare. Like… what the fuck…

With that stuck in Eden’s head, it was the first thing to come rushing out of her mouth after too many drinks. Which fell right into Liv and Sophia’s horny hands.

To make matters worse, the three of them ended up in the kitchen and began using items such as a banana and a cucumber as visual comparisons. It even went as far as Liv being two seconds away from placing a grocery order for delivery with nothing but a thick piece of Italian sausage, all so Eden could visually measure and cut to give them a better idea.

They all laughed so hard that Sophia ended up urinating in her pants. The prim and proper Sophia, pissing her pants from laughing . Not only that, but it ran from her pant legs and she stepped in it and slipped, falling to the floor in her own urine.

Sophia handed Eden a drink.

“I’m not drinking that,” Eden said. “And you better watch how much you drink too. Don’t need you to pee on my kitchen floor again.”

Liv snorted and started to laugh. Eden saw it as a chance to move fully away from the subject of a biker’s penis size once and for all.

“Listen, I appreciate you both coming over tonight. I have to confess I didn’t call just for fun.”

Eden chewed on her bottom lip, which was enough of a signal for Liv to quickly grab the remote and turn the television off.

“Sorry,” Eden whispered. “I just dulled this party right out.”

“For good reason,” Sophia said.

“When are you going to call the fucking police?” Liv asked. “Seriously. I would do it for you, but what would that help?”

“He has to eventually just go away for good, right?”

“Not sure you can just wish away a psycho ex,” Liv says. “I’ve tried. It doesn’t work.”

“This is serious stuff,” Sophia said.

“I just don’t want to be alone tonight,” Eden said. “That’s really it.”

“So we’re supposed to just shut up and pretend like nothing is wrong here?” Liv asked.

“What if that’s what I really want and need right now?” Eden asked.

Liv looked at Sophia. Liv then turned the television back on and pointed to the screen.

“Right now, I need to know how it all works,” she said. “I need to know what members you’ve met. If you don’t tell me, then we go back into the kitchen to find the correct size of Priest’s cock!”

Eden smiled. She finally took that drink from Sophia.

In all honesty, she’d rather talk about some biker’s huge dick than worry about her psycho ex wanting to hurt her.

The next day at work, Eden kept herself busy, which wasn’t a hard thing to do. Distraction kept her sane. Sane felt good, right up until she turned a corner and for the first time ever, she saw Priest standing on his own two feet.

She froze in place and felt herself whimper. Priest looked like he was seven feet tall, which he basically was. Towering. An outlaw carved out of muscles and doused with whiskey.

Waiting for him was the entire group of bikers. More than Eden had ever seen at the hospital. It made her uncomfortable. She could sense the bad coming from them all. They were all the bad guys.

“Hey, thanks for taking care of him for us,” someone called out to Eden.

Now all eyes went to her. Every single biker staring at her, including Priest. She had a hard time looking up and into his eyes.

An evil poured from this eyes that she hadn’t been expecting. This was nothing like the show Liv watched. Nothing like it at all.

Not to mention Eden had seen Priest’s dick already. Priest took a step toward her, moving slow.

“You saved me?”

His voice thundered from the depths of hell. Eden shivered and felt goosebumps all over her body.

“It was my job,” she managed to say. “You did all the work.”

Really? That’s what you wanted to say?

Priest leaned down toward her a little. “You know, I showed up here with a little more hardware than what I’m leaving with. You know anything about that?”

He’s referring to his penis piercing!

Heat flooded Eden’s cheeks. There was no escaping how red her face became.

“No worries, doll, I’m all put back together again,” Priest said. “I’ll get something new later. Too bad you can’t stop by my welcome home party and assist.”

Eden offered a nervous laugh.

“Also, if you ever need anything from someone like me, I owe you,” Priest said with a nod.

“I didn’t really… do anything…”

Eden found herself unable to speak and unable to breathe. She was never so scared and somewhat turned on at the same time. Something deep in her soul craved that bad boy vibe. She sucked at picking men and each one seemed worse than the previous.

“The beer is cold and the pussy is warm! What are we waiting for?”

Eden had no clue who shouted that, but it got every single biker to roar. The entire horde of outlaws worked their way down the hallway and around the corner. Just like that, Priest and his very impressive penis disappeared.

“That was a lot of testosterone at once to be near,” a coworker said to Eden.

Eden forced herself to laugh and then excused herself.

She trotted down the hallway in the opposite direction and ended up catching an elevator down to the main lobby. She went through the cafeteria, promising herself something to eat on her way back, and went into a restroom to catch her breath and splash cold water on her face.

She leaned over the sink and did so, speaking some kind of quick meditation in her head. To get herself refocused for her job. When she stood up, she saw someone other than herself in the mirror and she screamed. A hand clamped over her mouth and a knife touched her throat.

“Don’t make me kill you this easily,” her ex said with a smile on his face.

Cody’s eyes were all messed up, telltale signs he was higher than a kite.

“You fucking ignored me and made me follow you to work,” he growled at Eden. “How far does this have to go before you realize you love me?”

Eden felt tears fill her eyes. She thought about trying to bite Cody’s hand. Maybe swing a foot and try to kick him in the balls. Normally he would just get a little crazy, then grab and choke her for a second or two. Threaten her with a knife. Once, a gun. But never anything too far.

“You are mine,” Cody whispered. “Always will be too. Think it over while you nap.”

At the word nap Cody broke away from Eden and in the same motion, grabbed the back of her head and smashed her face off the bathroom counter.

Eden didn’t even hear herself scream for the split second that it came out of her mouth before darkness swallowed her up.
