Saving Mia by Michelle Woods Read Free Book Online Page B

Ratchet and his club had objected to their talking to her.
    Mia headed back into her office a little pissed at herself for the way she’d reacted to Ratchet. She had even forgotten to speak to the man who’d entered her office a second time without Hilconn hovering nearby about getting extra crates when he’d entered to return the thousand credits. It might have been her shock at the discount.
    She’d been told by the man who’d been here until she was promoted that they were to try and get the bikers to offer them a better price but it was not likely to happen. The Red Devils never gave discounts. Like in the past twenty years had never given a discount and yet today Ratchet had given one, to her.
    She sat down at the metal desk in the small office and dove back into the paperwork she needed to get done today. She needed it to transfer the food to the different places it needed to go. An hour later she was still thinking about the way Ratchet had eyed her as if he wanted to devour her in one bite. She shivered in what she told herself was revulsion, but she suspected was desire.

Chapter 5
     
    Ratchet climbed off his bike at the clubhouse an hour later wondering what the fuck had come over him. He’d just spent a thousand credits on a woman who hadn’t even given him a fucking blow job. He observed Tick who stood beside him as Bone and Tank walk towards them regarding him with severe expressions. Tick had insisted that they come here instead of back to the farm. He was still not ready to face Charity’s anger. Ratchet didn’t care.
    He loved his friend, but fuck the man needed to get over his wife’s passing. Ratchet knew that the man had loved her, but it was obvious to him that Charity lit Tick on fire. He’d been happier in the last few weeks than he’d ever seen him, and that included when Vivi was alive. The man was head over heels in love with that woman and he was in denial about it. Not that he knew much about being in love, but it seemed to be catching. He sure as fuck hoped he didn’t get it. The idea almost gave him a rash.
    “Why did we give a discount on merchandise we knew for a fact wasn’t damaged, mother fucker?” Bone demanded, angrily. As he stormed into Ratchet’s path. He glowered at him.
    “Shit.” Tick muttered from beside him looking at Bone in astonishment. “Why the fuck are you asking us? Tiny was the one who took care of that today.”
    “No, your boy here fucking gave it out like it was fucking candy because some bitch likely gave him a blow job.” Bone growled his teeth clenching.
    His insult to Mia made Ratchet clench his fist, and grit his own teeth. That protective urge rising inside him again, making him itch. He didn’t know why but he needed to make it clear that insults like that were not going to be thrown at Mia. Fuck, he’d lost his fucking mind, he thought ruefully running a hand down his face.
    “She didn’t give me any such thing, asshole. I was trying to prevent her from getting hurt when those fuckers let into that man, and she wanted to interrupt. Then the little weasel at the gate tried to insinuate some bullshit like she wasn’t able to do her fucking job. I was trying to ease the fucking situation by making her look good. Then maybe we won’t have to deal with wanting to fucking kill every time we head over there to do the food run. Besides I’ll fucking pay for it.” Ratchet saw Tick’s surprised look. He knew that although Bone and Tank watched him with doubt, Tick would take him at his word.
    He was such a fucking dick. He’d lied to his best friend without a blink, and all because of a woman he didn’t even kiss made his dick hard. He really was fucking losing it.
    “Tiny indicated he’d made that clear before he’d handled it. I fucking hope you didn’t make things worse. This bitch might want a discount every time now. And that just isn’t fucking happening.” Bone told him.
    Ratchet felt like his jaw would break he clenched his
