Iron Disciples MC 1 Joy Ride (4 page)

Johnny came around the other side of
the bar, pouring his own cup of coffee and leaning against the
counter top facing me.

“Sorry about that. I don’t know what
he did, but I figure it must have been something.”

I nodded. “He probably had that
coming. Just promise me you guys won’t hurt him.”

Big Sam laughed a bellowing laugh. “I
think we already did.”

Johnny tried to get me to ignore him.
“Look… I’m going for a ride after lunch. It’s a nice day out,
should be some good scenery and the fresh air is good. Nothing like
seeing the countryside from the back of a Harley. What do you
say?”

I knew what this meant. Further
involvement with Johnny. This sounded almost like some kind of a
laid back date. Maybe it wasn’t, maybe I was reading him wrong –
but it certainly seemed that way. And I knew what taking him up on
that offer would mean. More time spent around this clubhouse. More
time spent around these men. These men of… dubious morality. I had
just watched them nearly beat my boyfriend to a pulp right in front
of my eyes at the drop of a hat. My boyfriend. No… my ex-boyfriend.
I took a long slow sip of coffee and brushed a stray strand of hair
from my eyes.

“Yeah. Sure. That sounds
nice.”
