Smolder: A Devil Chaser's MC Romance by L Wilder Read Free Book Online Page A

that shit is not going to fly with me. I can’t wait to give him a taste of what he gave her. Maybe next time he’ll think twice before he raises a hand to a woman. The last time I sought revenge for someone I cared about, I ended up killing him. I want to beat the life out of this motherfucker, too, but I can’t let that happen. Bishop would have my cut for taking things that far without his consent.
    I removed my DC cut before I left Taylor’s hospital room. I wanted Gage to know that this fight was between him and me. Right now the Devil Chasers had no part in this, but if he caused any more problems for Taylor, he would have my brothers to deal with too.
    When Gage made his way out the front door, he turned to face me. “I don’t want any trouble with you, man. This is between me and my girl. There’s no reason for you to get involved.”
    “She’s not your fucking anything, and I became involved the minute you laid a hand on her. Taylor is off limits. You don’t see her. You don’t call her. You sure as fuck don’t touch her! You don’t even think about her. This thing between you and her is over !”
    “Whatever. You don’t know a thing about it. Taylor is mine . She’ll be back. She knows you’re no good for her. The bitch will be crawling back in no time.”
       The minute those last words came out of his mouth, my fist connected with his face. I hit him with such force, I was sure I had just broken his jaw. Before he could react, I hit him again with an upper cut to the chin. His body began falling back, so I punched him in the side close to his kidneys. When his body fell to the ground, I pulled his head up by the roots of his hair. I gave him three more blows to the nose and the side of his head. When I loosened my grip, he dropped to the ground. I gave him two swift kicks to the gut before I lowered myself to the ground. He grimaced as he turned to face me, expecting another hit.
    “Think of this moment the next time you think about hitting any woman, especially my woman . Stay clear of Taylor. Next time I won’t leave you breathing.” I punched him in the gut one last time before I walked back into the hospital. My woman . Fuck me.
    Several people watched me with curiosity as I walked up to the elevator. I’m sure they saw me beat the hell of Gage, but no one tried to stop me. Just before the elevators closed, I saw him stand up in the parking lot. He was wiping the blood from his nose and the corner of his mouth. I didn’t hurt him as bad as I wanted to, but he’ll think twice before he makes the same mistake again.
    Taylor was sitting up in the bed looking pretty freaked out when I walked back into the room. She didn’t say anything. She just stared at me with wonder like she had just seen a ghost. She looked tired. I knew she hadn’t been sleeping well. It was hard to get any rest when nurses were always coming in and out of the room all day and night.
    “You okay?” I asked.
    “I’m fine. Are you okay? Did you get in a fight with him?” she asked with concern. I couldn’t tell if she was worried about me hurting him or what.
    “We had a conversation. Everything’s fine. He was leaving when I got on the elevator.”
    “Thank God.”
    “Are you worried that I hurt your boyfriend, Taylor?”
    “Seriously? You think I give a shit if he’s okay? I was worried about you. I know that you’re a hot head, and you didn’t have Ace there to get you to back off. I was worried that you might kill him or get arrested!” she shouted.
    “I didn’t kill him, and obviously, I wasn’t arrested. Well, at least not yet.”
    “It’s official. You are the most frustrating man on the planet. I never know what’s going on in that head of yours.”       
    “I like to keep ‘em guessing.” I can’t help but laugh. She’s so damn cute when she’s pissed. “Doctor should be in soon with the release papers. You wanna get changed? We’ll head out as soon as he comes
