“Great. Don’t call me for three days.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t fuckin’ call you at all.”

With that, he turned on his heels and left and I stepped into the shower and sobbed, even if it was for the best.

Orion

I climbed on my bike and headed home, pissed off and looking for a fight. Jesus, that woman had me doin’ things I never did, the least of which was letting her wrap me around her fuckin’ finger. It stopped now.

Our compound was surrounded by mountains with a huge log cabin about a quarter mile from the entry gates and several smaller structures dotted throughout the landscape. I made my home in the main log cabin, along with a bunch of the younger guys. Dad had his own place, one he’d shared with my mother before she died, and my younger siblings. Since Dad and I were rubbing each other the wrong way, I decided moving into the main house would be a good idea.

Parking my bike, I headed inside the main building and found the room full of my brethren and more than a few women I’d never met. There were at least three of them currently knelt between biker’s legs, sucking them off.

“Orion!” Grimace called out. “New strip club opened. Look at what it has to offer. Come join us.”

Jesus, strippers and bikers. Could there be anything more cliché?

I gave him a chin lift. “Hey, brother. You have fun. I got some shit to do.”

“Your loss,” he grumbled, dropping his head back as the bleach blonde went to town on his dick.

I walked past the kitchen and saw my dad inside chatting up a very young redhead and drinking a beer.

“Hey, Ori,” he called.

“Hey.” I headed into the room and opened the fridge, grabbing a beer.

He raised an eyebrow. “You’re back early.”

“Yeah.” I screwed off the top and took a swig.

“Everything okay?”

“Yeah,” I lied.

The redhead smiled at me. “I’m Everly.”

“Orion.”

“Everly goes to school with your sister.”

Violet had just started her junior year at UCCS, and Dad tended to keep her away from nights like tonight.

“Oh yeah? Is Letti here?”

“Yeah,” Dad said, and I frowned.

“Seriously?”

“They’re leaving ASAP,” Dad said rather pointedly. “Right?”

“Yes,” Everly confirmed, her cheeks pinkening.

“Got it!” Letti said, walking into the room and waving her phone in the air. “Oh, hey, Ori.”

“Hey, sissy.”
