Page 23 of Cage's Downfall

Arriving at the clubhouse. I could hear the shouting from here, then heard something smash against the wall. I nervously opened the clubhouse door and after doing so I scanned the biker’s, all of which looked like they wanted to be anywhere but here.

Cage was fuming at a flipped table. “Which part of we aren’t earning don’t ya fucking understand?” he roared to the room. The table members, including Lit, looked terrified.

What had happened to Cage? Jacob was standing next to Lit and Wild, and when his eyes landed on me, relief washed over his face.

He gestured for me to go to Cage. But no one, including me, wanted to go near a furious Cage.

But that ended when his eyes landed on me. Okay. Looks like I couldn’t back out of the room now.

“Hi,” I said to the open room. “Has everyone eaten?” Perhaps I could escape to the kitchen?

Cage’s eyes were narrowed on me glaring- then his glare went to Jacob. “You call her?” he growled at Jacob, and that tone told me a fight was coming.

“Cage, can you come with me?” I said putting a hand on my hip. “Now.” I added when he went to tell me to fuck off.

His lips formed a straight line, and he looked very unhappy about accompanying me into the large kitchen. Gripping his hand when he was in reach, I pulled him in.

“Did that bastard call you? Fucking pussy can’t even take being told off!” Cage’s rage didn’t stop when the kitchen door closed behind us. “Pussies. That is what this club is made of. Ones that don’t understand when a club isn’t earning we don’t do deals!” he added with a roar, shouting it so the boys heard him.

Okay how do I calm him down? I couldn’t fuck him in here, with everyone out there listening.

I needed to distract him though. I glanced at the back door, which opened up to the lot.

“Cage?”

“What?” he barked at me.

“Can you take me into town?”

He looked me up and down. What was he looking for on me? I didn’t say take me to the hospital- God he was looking at me like I was sick or something.

“Please,” I added.

He looked torn between taking me and going back out there and picking up the fight with the members- about making deals when the club wasn’t earning. I didn’t know the details but I doubted the club doing deals behind Cage’s back had him this worked up.

He forced the back door open, clearly pissed off about having to take me into town. I heard him mutter, ‘why couldn't Jacob take me.’ He really was in a real foul mood.

He mounted his bike and I got on, hoping I didn’t lose my life because he was about to take some of that rage out on the road.

Then again, the road coping his rage was better than members.

Chapter 14

CAGE

Iwasn’t the best man to have control over my temper. I knew that. I acted with my fists when others would think before they acted. Me however- I acted. I didn’t fucking think it through. Annoying as it was- I fucking acted.

Tonight- I acted. Killing those two men. God gave me a stern stomach. I could take on most things that made others vomit- or go weak at the knees. Tonight, was a classic example. Jacob couldn’t stomach my actions- saw it on his face.

But my temper wasn’t under grips when I returned to the clubhouse to find out that those bastards had done a deal behind my back! Expecting me to come through on it. When I had nothing to do with it.

Usually side deals weren’t an issue- when I was in a reasonable mood.

But tonight, I wasn’t reasonable. I knew that- I had seen red. Jacob calling Autumn to come and calm me down pissed me off more.

Leaning against the street pole I watched Autumn go inside the pizza shop, clearly placing an order. Why she couldn’t call it in- I didn’t know. However, I knew they were delivering them because we couldn’t exactly take them back on the bike.

I inhaled on my cigarette while watching the boys in the corner have eyes on Autumn. That fucking body of hers always brought attention. Wasn’t just her body though. It was also that seductive swirl her voice had to it, when she spoke.
