“Who was that?” I asked Shay.
“Beats the shit out of me,” her eyes narrowed.
My blood was boiling, and if I knew my friend like I thought I did, we both had the same idea. We burst back in the bar going right for Apollo.
“You motherfucker!” Shay yelled.
The music was still off, but the conversations had started again.
“Fuck!” Razor growled. “Grab Shay,” he instructed to Bronx.
“I cannot believe you,” I shrieked as I made my way around the other side of their table.
“She ain’t my bitch,” Apollo defended. “I’m fucking sick of people…”
“Shut the fuck up!” Razor barked at him as I lunged towards Apollo, but he used my momentum and tossed me over his shoulder.
Shay was over Bronx’s shoulder as well, and we were being escorted out of the bar.
“I’m going to kick your ass!” Shay yelled to Apollo.
She was pointing, kicking, and screaming about how she was going to avenge her friend. The crazy part was I was doing the same.
“Stop!” Bronx yelled to her.
They got us outside and Shay yelled, “Put me down, right now!”
“No!” he yelled back, then said, “Watch who the fuck you’re talking to like that!”
Uh oh.
“I’m talking to you!” Shay snapped back and kicked her legs out.
Bronx slapped her on her ass twice and said, “Keep talking, and I will tan that ass.”
I didn’t hear much else from her, but then Razor interrupted my show and said, “That’s our cue, sweetheart. Mind our business and go.”
“No, Razor. He did not have to do that to her. Publicly humiliate her in front of her entire town. That shit ain’t right.”
“Darlin’, this has been going on for years. I know that’s your friend, but enough is enough.”
What?
“You’re condoning that shit?” I kicked as he still had me on his shoulder.
“Oh, fuck that. Their shit won’t mess with our shit, sweetheart. What we ain’t going to do is fight about other folks. I ain’t had you in two goddamn months. I want you in every goddamn way. They are my brothers, and that’s your girl, but fuck them, right now.” He patted me on the ass. “Okay? Fuck them.”
The man had a point.
Two months of no sex.
Fuck them.
We drove home, put all that drama aside, and we fucked until we both passed out. Two months was a long time, and we had a lot of making up to do.
When we did revisit our conversation about Lori and Apollo, Razor shared that Lori was damn near stalking the man at one point. He told her to stop, and she backed up but still was always around. She was actually telling people that she was with him, and it turned him off. It was as if she had no self-worth. That would be a turn-off for anyone, but she was still my friend.
Weeks later, Shay and I had not heard from Lori. It was like she fell off the face of the earth. Her parents said she quit her job, moved, and did not leave a forwarding address. Shay nor I really dealt with Apollo after that. He was always around, but as far as we were concerned, he was dead to us. Razor tried to address it with me, but I was not and would not hear that shit. As far as I was concerned, as long as Lori was gone, so was he in my mind. It was stupid since Apollo had helped me with my situation, but he crushed my friend like a flea.
I just did not know how to reconcile that. I owed the Guardians my life, and it was because of their hard work and dedication that I was alive today. To commemorate that, after receiving permission to use their patch how I wanted, Shay went with me to get their patch symbol inked over my wrist where Justin cut me. He was trying to slowly kill me, and it was the Guardians who prevented it from happening.
W
hen I showed Razor
, he was speechless. He pulled me in for a tight hug and whispered, “You’re the best thing that ever happened to me, Kylie. Don’t know what I did to deserve you, but I ain’t ever letting you go. Love it, darlin’. It’s perfect.”
A week later, Razor came home to show me his new tattoo. It was simple but meant everything. My name was tattooed across his ribs with connecting hearts on each side.
“Razor!” I gasped.
“Meant only for me, sweetheart. All mine.”
He pulled me in and kissed my hair.
“Love you.”
“I love you, Razor.”
Thank you for reading Just Ride! This is book 1 in the Legion of Guardians MC Series. I am so excited about this book because I love MC romances and to get to the place where I could create my own, is just that much more exciting. Yes, you are right, there are some unanswered questions in book 1 that will be addressed throughout the series. Stay tuned for Shay and Bronx’s stories. Also, #spoiler – Lori comes back in book 2 and she and Apollo will have their own story in book 3.
