Later that night the clubhouse was hopping in the main area. There were several guys playing pool. I noticed there were a couple of old ladies with their men and then several sweet butts hanging around hoping to get lucky. I was at the bar nursing a beer. I didn’t want to be rude by closing myself in my room for the night, but I wasn’t feeling this scene either. Fury, Fang and Hawk were at the bar with me while I saw Blade in the corner with a glass of whiskey sipping it while one of the club whores sucked him off. Axle had a girl in his lap, and he was playing under her skirt with his tongue down her throat. Hell, they were still single so whatever. We used to have parties like that and occasionally still do.
I stood up to head upstairs and one of the girls with fake blonde hair and fake boobs came over to me with her skirt so short I could tell the rug didn’t match the curtains. Her bikini top was barely there. She was superficially pretty but it was all fake. I thought about letting her take care of me but all I could think about was long, chestnut hair, big blue eyes and the curvy figure of one Dawn Wilson. The girl put her hand on my pants, and I stopped her. Removing her hand from my fly, I just shook my head.
“Awe handsome, I could take care of you for the night. Your girl doesn’t have to know.” She said as she got closer. I looked down at her and could tell she was used to getting what she wanted. Too bad it wasn’t going to be me tonight.
“No, go find someone else to crawl over.” I walked around her and headed to my room for the night. I walked in and flipped on the light. There were two beds in the room. I was rooming with Hawk, Fury and Fang were rooming together and Axle and Blade. There was an ensuite shower in each room, so I took a cold shower and then climbed into the bed and tried to sleep. I kept thinking about the nights I spent sleeping in Dawns room. Listening to her whimpers and screams throughout the night. Pulling her into my arms and calming her until she fell asleep again. I also remembered the last night she spent in my house when she crawled into the cot with me and slept curled up to me like a lover. She felt perfect against me, and I wanted to keep her there. Her sweet-smelling hair and her soft skin. Her pillow perfect lips. What the hell was wrong with me? I was thirty-seven and she was twenty-five. Not only was she too young for me but she was my brother’s baby sister.
I pulled up the picture that we all had from when we went to find her. It must have been taken at a party by her roommate. She looked happy with a sassy smile and a sparkle in her eyes. I really wanted to see that again. Cajun seemed like a good kid, but I still hated the idea of him touching her. It made my blood boil just thinking about it. I had to fight these feelings I have for her. I know if I surrender to them, I will never let her go. I picked up my phone and there was a message from Dawn.
Dawn: Are u ok?
I noticed it had been sent a couple of hours ago. Looking at the time it was eleven. I guess a quick response wouldn’t hurt.
Doc: We are all fine, Baby doll. Get some rest. I’ll see you soon.
My finger hovered over the send button for a few minutes and then Hawk came in which startled me and I pressed send. I laid my phone back down and closed my eyes.
“How is Dawn?” he asked me with a smirk. I started to deny I was messaging her but decided it wasn’t worth it, so I just gave him the finger and rolled over to try and sleep. Hawk chuckled and shucked off his boots and crawled into the other bed.
I closed my eyes and let sleep take me under. We had a busy couple of days ahead.
Waking up in a strange place was always a bit disconcerting and put me on edge. I woke up and let my eyes adjust to the darkened room. Looking at my watch I noticed it was about five am. I was so used to short naps and interrupted sleep that I struggled to sleep more than five or six hours at a time. I decided to get up and go find some coffee. I got a text from Gears with a picture under it. It was Remy and Dawn sitting together on the couch. They looked cozy but she still seemed a bit uncomfortable. The message above it said: If you have feelings for my sister, you better figure your shit out. This kid is making moves and is quite a charmer. I think I’d prefer her with you. I know you will respect her and take care of her. The ball is now in your court. G.
Fuck!! What was I supposed to do from here? We were a couple hundred miles from home and not looking to be back until tomorrow or the day after. It didn’t change the fact that she was quite a bit younger than me, but hell if her brother could get past it then I could as well.
I went quietly down the stairs and found the coffee pot. It was wired to always have hot water so all I had to do was add the grounds and start. After getting the pot going, I sat down at the table and remembered that she was working as a volunteer at the shelter in the mornings, so she was already up. I could call her. I really wanted to talk to her in person. I typed out a message to her hoping she would take it how I meant it.
Doc: Good morning, Baby doll, I’m sorry about hurting you before. I do care about you a lot and I would like a chance to show you. Can you make some time for me when I get home?
Dawn: GM, I am at the shelter feeding the animals. When will you be home?
Doc: I am hoping to be home no later than tomorrow. We have a good lead. There is a key to my house under the mat. If you need time alone, you can use the key and sleep in my room. I know you have been spending time with Cajun. I just ask that you give me a chance to talk to you.
Dawn: I have been seeing Remy, he is a nice guy, and he doesn’t hide his interest in me. We will see how I feel when you get back. Be safe.
Doc: Thank you, see u soon.
I put the phone in my cut pocket and poured myself some coffee. I looked at the message again. I really didn’t like that response, but it was my own fault for giving her the cold shoulder.
The guys came down about six looking for their own hit of coffee. I nodded to the pot and lifted my mug. I wasn’t feeling very talkative right now. I could try to deny my feelings for her but every time I saw Cajun near her or even thought of him trying to kiss her, I wanted to rip his head off.
Hawk raised his eyebrow at me, and I nodded. He gave me a pat on the shoulder, poured himself a cup and sat down.
“Any idea what time Rivet and his crew get up. I’m ready to go find these assholes so we can get home.” I said as I finished my coffee and put the cup in the sink.
“Is now good enough for you Doc?” Raven said as he and Rivet turned the corner. “Our guys spotted them in Freedom, we need to get going if we are going to catch up. I hope you have your compound locked down tight.”
“I’ll call Bear and the guys from Phoenix Security. They can grab and detain them if necessary. Do you have pictures I can send them?” Axle said as he started to dial. Rivet nodded and sent the pictures to his phone.
“Yo Bear, I’m going to send you a picture of a couple of goons that we need detained until we get there. They were a part of the group that took Gears sister.” He listened and we heard a couple of grunts and then he hung up. “I just sent the pics. They will find them. Bear has a room above his bar and grill with soundproof walls and a separate entrance. Let’s ride.”
“We appreciate your assistance and your hospitality. Let us know when we can return the favor.” Blade said to Rivet.
“You boys watch your backs.” Rivet said as he stood at the door and watched up mount our bikes and head out.
