Page 10 of Rooster's Redemption

What the fuck? When I left the company? I turn to Kayne and he’s looking at me with questions in his eyes. Questions I don’t have answers to either, but I will. I shake my head in response.

“Why does it matter anyway?” Joe asks, doing what Kayne told him.

“It matters because if Lucas, or should I say Rooster, finds out what really happened all those years ago, the bosses won’t be happy. He’s a loose end that needs cleaning up.” Adam walks to the passenger side door of the town car but stops. “You did good tonight, Joe. I’ll keep in touch with the next shipment I need.” Adam climbs into the car and his men follow, backing out of the alley.

Joe visibly relaxes when the car is out of sight. He leans against the trunk of his car. “Holy shit.” He breathes.

Kayne, Blayde, Stryker and I come out of the shadows and approach Joe. “Good work tonight, Joe. You gave us the info we need.” Kayne pulls out a wad of cash from his cut and hands it to him. “You now work for Savage Saints. If I call, you better answer your fucking phone.” I don’t like this one bit, but Kayne is our Prez for a reason. His word is law and we follow.

Joe takes the wad of cash with trembling fingers. “What do I do now?”

“Clean yourself up.” Kayne walks away with us following close behind. We mount our bikes and fire them up, leaving Joe in the alley alone and stunned. The deep vibrations of our Harley’s echo around the quiet night. We take off and ease into formation. I might have some answers I need tonight, but a lot more questions are now in the air that I need to get to the bottom of.

Chapter

Five

ALYSSA

The bar is slamming with people tonight. I’ve been barely able to catch my breath. Music from the DJ vibrates through the bar, making the crowd pretty rowdy. People are out on the floor dancing and grinding against each other practically fucking with their clothes on. Khandi has been flirting with Duke and the patrons all night, leaving me to staff the bar myself. I pour a seven and seven and side it across the bar to the awaiting waitress. Then I line up six shot glasses and pour them each with Tequila. The waitress sets them on her tray and takes off.

There’s a little break in drinks and I lean back against the counter catching my first full breath since the doors opened. I love being busy, it takes my mind off other things. And when I say other things I’m talking about a sexy as hell biker. Fuck that man has me all tied up in knots. I’m nervous about what will happen after I tell him my secret. Will he kick me out of the clubhouse? Will he ever speak to me again? I check the time on my phone and realize we only have an hour left until closing time. No text from Rooster either.

Lzzy Hale from Halestorm pounds through the speakers and the DJ turns the music up louder. Shouts and hollers echo overthe music when Poison, Siren and Holly jump onto the bar top. They begin dancing to Halestorm’s song I Get Off. Poison turns around and reaches out a hand to me. I hesitantly take it and she pulls me up onto the bar. A scene from Coyote Ugly pops into my head and I laugh while the girls move their hips. I find the beat of the music and begin to move with them. I pop my hip and sway my body to the music. Siren is really getting into it and she has every man at the bar drooling over her. She runs the dance studio that used to be the strip club for Poison’s old MC, Deadly Sins. I follow along to the beat and forget where I am and who’s around as I get lost in the beat of Lzzy Hale’s raspy voice. I imagine it’s Rooster I’m dancing for. Getting off on me while I get off on him. I close my eyes and sway to the beat, running my hands up my hips and into my hair.

Suddenly the music stops and I open my eyes coming face to face with a pissed-off but turned-on Rooster staring directly at me.

“That’s it! Everyone out get the fuck out of my bar now!” Kayne shouts. Everyone moves fast, gathering their things and heading out the front door. He’s beyond pissed off pinning Poison with a deadly glare. She smirks at him and waves her fingers. He reaches up and yanks her off the bar, throwing her over his shoulder. She laughs and squeals as he swats her ass and carries her into the back room. I can imagine what they’re going to do in his office.

“Get down now, Siren,” Blayde growls. She scurries off the bar with Holly right behind her. Stryker is glaring at Holly and she pats him on the chest.

“You boys are acting like Neanderthals,” Siren growls back. “We’re just dancing and having fun. Chill the fuck out.”

“You call that dancing?” Blayde asks stunned.

“Yeah, I do, Blayde. That was dancing.” She raises a brow challenging him.

“If that,” Blayde points to the bar I’m still standing on, “is dancing, the only place you’ll be doing that is in our bedroom before I fuck you.”

Siren rolls her eyes with a smirk on her face, “Only if you promise to make it worth my wild.”

Blayde pulls her into him, “Oh, I’ll definitely make it worth your wild.” His lips slam into hers with a need and want that makes me blush. I turn away from the scene and hop off the bar. I start to clean up by putting beer bottles into white containers.

“What the fuck?” Rooster finally speaks. Oh boy, here we go with another chest beating.

“What the fuck what, Rooster? I was dancing. Having fun and letting loose. It’s not like I was doing anything wrong.” I throw my hands on my hips, my defenses are up waiting for him to belittle me.

“That was hot as hell, woman.” Rooster’s words stop me in my tracks. I turn to look at him. My eyes travel up his legs to the bulge in the middle of his jeans, up his abs and land on his gaze. His dark eyes are hooded with lust and desire. For me. I turn away quickly before he can see the blush spreading across my face. “If I knew you could move like that, I would’ve had you dance for me more often.” Rooster’s standing right behind me now, his big body heating my back. The hardness behind his jeans pushed against my ass while his hands roam over my hips. “In the privacy of my bedroom where I could peel off these clothes and fuck you so hard, you’ll forget your name and only remember mine.” His hot breath fans across my neck causing a shiver to run down my spine. Rooster brushes his lips against my neck and gently bites the sensitive spot behind my ear.

Holy moly, my panties are soaked. “Hmm…” I hum. My brain forgot how to make my mouth move. I tilt my head to the side to give him better access to my skin.

He licks the spot above my collarbone with a growl, “So tasty, Baby Princess. I can’t wait to taste the rest of you.”

I hold back a moan when Kayne comes out of the backroom with a relaxed smile on his face. Poison comes out behind him with messy hair and mirroring the same smile. They take a seat at the bar and Kayne raps his knuckles on the solid wood. Rooster immediately moves away from me and I miss his body heat. They exchange a heated conversation with their eyes cutting to me every few beats.

I leave them to it and continue to clean up. I don’t know where Khandi disappeared too. Probably in the back fucking someone. She spreads her legs more than she does her actual job. I don’t know why Kayne has kept her around for as long as he has.

“Alyssa,” Kayne’s deep voice causes me to pause for a beat. I set the beer bottle down into the container and turn toward him.
