Ignite the Flame: A Satan's Savages MC Novella #2 by K E Osborn Read Free Book Online

“Holy hell. I’ve never done anything like that in my life. I mean, I hardly swear. So stealing… like what the hell was I thinking? Why didn’t you stop me?”
    I chuckle. “Babe, I tried. You just walked out actin’ all tough and shit. I have no idea who you are right now.”
    She grips my hand tighter. “You’re a bad influence on me.”
    I scoff. “Me? I didn’t force you to steal anythin’.”
    “No, but you’re apparently taking me somewhere where I’m going to need to be tough, stronger, and not a prissy pants if I’m going to be with you. Right?”
    Turning to look at her I huff and nod. “Yeah babe, you’re gonna need to be tough. But I don’t mind if you’re still a little bit sweet and innocent.”
    She smiles and nods. “Okay ‘cause I don’t know that I can act like the cockmunchers all the time.”
    I laugh and shake my head. “Is that what you’re stickin’ to callin’ the club girls? The cockmunchers?”
    She nods. “Well, that’s their job isn’t it?”
    I tilt my head and shrug because she’s right. “Okay, cockmunchers they are. Just don’t call them that to their faces. They might not take too kindly to that nickname.”
    She nods and exhales. “So we’re going to another club then?”
    My shoulders go tight with tension and an ache in my head starts instantly. I knew she’d already guessed it, but hearing her say it makes me concerned. “I’m sorry, I know you don’t want to, but it’s the safest plan I have.”
    She tightens her grip on my hand and leans over kissing my cheek. “It’s okay. I had an idea that’s where we’d end up. Just as long as Chops doesn’t find me, and the club we go to isn’t worse than Virginia. I should be okay.”
    My head snaps around to look at her to see if she’s bullshitting me or not. She’s looking at me with a soft smile. Not what I was expecting. Furrowing my brows, I look back to the road and exhale.
    “So you’re really okay with this?”
    She shrugs. “I have to be. You belong to a club, Steel. And if I want to be with you then I need to deal with that. As long as you can keep the other guys off me, I can handle it… I hope.”
    My chest tightens and the smile that crosses my face is immense. I didn’t give her enough credit. The flame that burns inside Willow is strong and she’s a fighter. She’s given up everything for me. I just have to prove to her that I’m worth it. I just fucking hope I am.
     

 
    Driving down the road leading toward the Aldinga clubhouse, on one side of me is sparse open paddocks of harsh brown, burnt land from the scorching summer sun, and on the other side in the distance is the pristine sandy beach. The sea air is wafting through the open windows as Willow’s hair flicks with the wind like flames flickering from a bonfire. It makes me think of home and how much I’m looking forward to being back with the brotherhood.
    The clubhouse comes into view as I turn down the dirt road. Of course, it’s right near the backwash of Aldinga, so there are no businesses or houses nearby. There’s nothing but paddocks and ocean either side of the clubhouse. This place is huge, much bigger than Virginia, and way more modern. I know they’ve done some renovations recently, so it’ll look different from when I was last here, which was over two years ago now.
    Pulling up to the gate which is black and looks far more modern and sophisticated than the one at Virginia. Well, it has no rust for starters. Right by my window is a speaker box with a video screen and it lights up catching my attention. Their version of Gatekeeper is utterly high tech. A nerdish looking guy with a black beard appears on the screen with a scowl and his attempt at looking intimidating fails miserably. I actually feel like I want to laugh, but I don’t.
    “What the fuck do you want?” his deep, gruff voice echoes loudly through the speaker box.
    Willow flinches beside me and I grab her hand to try and ease her nerves, as
