Page 19 of Laying it Bare Biker Style: Ryder

“You’ll get better the moreyou play and then we’ll up the ante.” And again the flirting justfell off of my tongue with too much ease. Conjuring up images ofwhat else I wanted to do with my tongue.

During our first game, Sage managed tosink two of the striped ones, but I sank the rest of mine and theeight ball with relative ease, ending the round rather quickly. SoI racked them again and we played two more matches. She improved alittle with the next two games and managed to sink three of hersbefore I cleared the table of mine. Or it could have been because Iwas a bit distracted ogling her ass every time she bent over tomake her shot and it was a bit of a challenge to play with anerection. Or the fact I had visions of bending her over the pooltable, pulling down her cut off shorts, and fucking her after Itasted every damn inch of her first. Fuck, I needed to get a holdof my lust. Shortly after our third round, Angel and Misti stoppedin the rec room.

“So, is our girl ahustler?” Angel leaned against the table with a playful grinplastered on her face.

“Not even remotely. If wehad been playing for winnings, I would have been hustled right outof my clothes.” She shook her head. “My mouth really needs to startconsulting with my brain first.”

Misti tapped her finger toher lip. “I think you do that to knock Ryder off balance. Goodtactic to beat him at pool. He’s really good so you need to use anyavenue you can. While they meet, we’ll play. We’ll get you skilledenough you can win him out ofhisclothes.”

“Misti.” I growled inwarning. Between those two and Grayson, I’d had enough of the matchmaking. This wasn’t a country club.

She shooed me off. “Get going soyou’re not late. We’ll take care of our girl.”

“That’s what I’m afraid of.And I won’t be late. I still have ten minutes.”

“Then go be early. We’vegot this.”

Realizing I wasn’t going to win withthose two, I placed my cue stick in the rack. “If the cunts startanything, keep the fighting to a minimum.” Then I strolled out ofthe room and in the direction of Church. I needed to get mythoughts focused on club business and away from the countlessthings I wanted to do to Sage’s body with my hands, mouth, anddick. I wasn’t going to pretend to be something for Sage that Icouldn’t be. It wouldn’t be fair to her.

Many of the guys were already stuffedinto the room. I found Gage and Grayson standing along the backwall so I joined them.

“So you think there’s sometruth to what Pyro Devils are claiming too? Grayson was filling mein on his suspicions.” Gage ran a hand over his beard. He wore hisshort like mine.

“I don’t know what to thinkbut I have to agree with Grayson. Some things aren’t adding up andas long as our club agrees; I don’t see the harm in hearing themout. Even though it’s becoming more and more difficult for me to bearound Pip without wanting to rip his arms off and beat him todeath with them.”

“I can’t believe he wantedyou to return her so that they could have her in case that bastardcame back. Like who the fuck does stuff like that to an innocent,one of their own?”

Grayson swung his gaze to me. “Thatwas why Pip had some of his brothers surround our girls today? Whatthe fuck? I’ll sell tickets to Pip’s dismembering.”

It was no secret Grayson had a softspot for Sage.

Remus entered the room and slammed ahuge book down on his stand, signaling everyone was to shut theirmouths and listen. “Ryder, do you want to share with us what youfound out while talking with some of the Pyro Devils?”

Rubbing my hand along my face, Ibraced myself for the outbursts. Our club had a shit ton of illfeelings toward them. I did as well, but I couldn’t ignore thehunch that Grayson was on to something. “I think we should sit downwith some of the members of Pyro Devils. Pip alluded to Grayson andme that another group is pitting us against one another. That weare fighting each other as a distraction to what is really goingon.”

The room burst into a mob of angryshouts and fists pumping in the air.

Remus slammed the book down again.“ENOUGH!”

The room went instantlystill.

“Please continue, Ryder.Then we will decide as a club what we want to do.”

“The riot we had to breakup three weeks ago. Each side thought the other had instigated it.When we received that anonymous tip that someone was interceptingour weapon delivery and wasted three days on a ride. Although noride is a waste, but you know what I mean. We had other things thatneeded done. And we discover there wasn’t a problem. Pip says thepunks that were here the other morning were not theirs. What ifhe’s telling the truth and they were here from another club toscope out our place? We think it might be the Brutal Demons, but wehave no proof right now. One of their members was at Pyro Devils’club and assaulted one of their girls and left her body in thewoods outside their club. Grayson and I found her unconscious bodyand have been taking care of her. I don’t think it would hurtanything to at least listen to what they have to say.”

“Damnit, Ryder. We don’tneed another Jensen incident.” Remus tugged at his long gray beardand fixed me with his gun metal colored eyes.

“She’s nothing likeJensen.” I spat her name like it tasted bad.

“You thinking with yourdick or your brain? Because your right head needs to be in thegame.” He ran his hand over his thinning gray hair. “Grayson, youthink the girl is going to be any trouble?”

“No. We all know I thoughtthere was something off about Jensen and regret not saying anythingsooner, but I don’t get any bad vibes from Sage at all.”

“Very well. I will contacttheir Prez to discuss setting up a meeting. We’ll have them bringonly a handful of their men because I still don’t fully trust them.Alright, everyone get the fuck out of here then. Except you, Ryder.I want a word.”

“You were the one whoinsisted on bringing Sage to our home.” I growled atGrayson.

He smirked. “You just didn’t want toadmit you wanted her, so I gave you the shove.”
