Shade (Shade #1)

“I kinda of like it,” Gavin said, hitting his brother on the back. “Calm down. If Shade starts a fight, we’ll deal. I’m bored, anyway, since he managed to grab the only woman in this dump with a decent pair of tits.

“We ever live to see the end of our tour, we’ll have our own bar and beat the shit out of assholes like us.” Gavin winked at Viper.

“You’re planning on starting a biker club?” Rider grinned, his hand going under the table to the thigh of the stripper.

Shade shifted her closer to Rider. He didn’t want to take the chance he would grab anything that was attached to him.

“Hell yes. Want to join when you get out?” Gavin asked.

Shade hid his smile when Viper rolled his eyes.

“Fuck yeah. Just let me know where, and I’ll be there as soon as I get out,” Rider told him.

The stripper’s head fell back on Shade’s shoulder.

“You in, Levi?” Gavin turned to him next.

Levi watched Rider and Shade with the stripper, shaking his head. “No, Evie and I are getting married when we get out. She’d kick my ass if I tried to join a biker club.”

Gavin frowned. “What about you, Cash?”

“Count me in. I have no place I want to go back to.”

“Train?” Gavin asked, motioning for the waitress to bring them another round.

“I’m with Cash. I haven’t got anything waiting for me, either. Sounds better than what I had planned.”

“What did you have planned?” Shade asked, his hand going to the stripper’s waist and sliding under her see-through top. The men could easily see him playing with her nipple.

“Re-enlisting.”

The men at the table laughed.

“Knox?”

“No thanks. Me and Sunshine are going to buy a house and start having kids when we get out.”

“Shit, you and Sunshine are getting married?” Rider asked.

The stripper was moaning loudly now. Several of the men at the table were forced to shift in their chairs to adjust themselves.

“Shit, quiet her down, Shade,” Viper hissed.

Shade saw the angry glares focused on their table.

Bending down, he whispered in her ear, “Make another sound, and Rider will stop.”

She immediately shut up.

“I wish I knew how you did that,” Levi said.

“What about you, Shade? You going to join us?” Gavin asked.

“I’ll think about it.”

“What’s to think about? Bikes, bitches, and fighting all the time.” Gavin leaned back in his chair. “Viper can be the president; I’ll be his vice; Cash can be his lieutenant; and you can be his enforcer.”

“That does sound tempting.” Shade gave Gavin a half smile. “What about you Reid? You in?”

“Yeah, he had me at the bitches,” Reid laughed.

“Well?” Gavin prodded.

“I’ll give it a try. If I like it, I’ll stay,” Shade told him.

“I’m glad you’re in, Shade,” Viper snapped. “Your first duty as our enforcer is to get us out of here alive.” He stood up as four of the bikers who had been glaring at them started coming at them as the stripper began shaking with her climax.

Shade sighed, standing up to set the woman on his chair.

“Sorry, that’s all you’ll be getting tonight,” Shade said regretfully. He had been looking forward to fucking her. It was his own fault. He should have taken her to the back ten minutes ago and fucked her in the bathroom.

He waited until the bikers were almost on top of them before picking up Viper’s empty chair. Spotting the biggest one, Shade left him to Knox. The one in front was the leader, so that was the one he needed to take out.

Before the biker could open his mouth, Shade crashed the chair down on his head.

“Fuck! Next time, give us some warning,” Viper snarled as the bar broke into a brawl that left the bikers with bloody injuries and the furniture broken. They didn’t stop until the cops arrived, pulling them off the unconscious bikers.

“They started it!” Levi yelled as he was getting cuffed. “You’re explaining this to Evie, Shade.”

Shade grunted as two officers threw him to the ground, handcuffing him before lifting him to his feet and dragging him outside.

“If anybody gets a phone call, call Lucky and tell him to come bail us out.” Viper groaned when the cop slammed him against the patrol car.

They were all driven to the local police station and placed in a holding cell.

“Damn, the bikers didn’t touch me. The cops did more damage with that fucking taser,” Knox groaned.

Gavin started chuckling.

“What the fuck is so funny?” Viper glared at him, pissed.

Gavin placed his arm around Viper’s shoulders. “We were the last ones standing. We were outnumbered three to one, and we still kicked their asses.”

“That’s what we should call our club,” Shade said, shifting to try to make himself more comfortable. They hadn’t taken his cuffs off.

“What?” Gavin asked.

“The Last Riders.”



“Remember when King had the same reaction to you?” Lily reminded him, bringing Shade back to the present.

“I don’t give a fuck. Brick makes me look like a saint,” Shade snarled.

“I wouldn’t go that far.” She laughed.
