the door. Bethany wasn’t drunk, but her body was not moving as fast as Rex wanted her to. A few men followed him out and helped her onto the back of his bike. Bethany should have been nervous, she had never ridden on one before, but she was beyond caring. He got on and she grabbed him around the waist. Rex moved her hands lower to his groan. “Hold on tight. I don’t want you falling off.”
She nodded to the man’s turned back and as she gripped him. She could feel a hardness that hadn’t been there before and Bethany moved her hands upward a touch so that they no longer did. Rex took off like a rocket and she held on tight, more than once thinking that she was going to make them crash. Every movement from her sent the bike to the side she leaned in. It took her some time, but she was quickly adjusting to the feel of the bike. Bethany also learned to hold on with more than just her hands. Her thighs gripped his body as he drove faster.
Bethany was afraid, but at the same time, it was an experience that made her eyes twinkle and her breathing quicken. Her mind was soon forgetting about Eric or anything else, all she could think about was the ride and the wind pushing through her dark brown hair.

“Have you seen Bethany?”
“No, Mrs. Castine. I think she said she was at Finnigan’s.”
“She left?”
“Yeah. I think she just needed a little time. I am sure she will be back in a bit.” Callie turned back to Jesse. Eric had turned to her, overhearing the conversation.
“She’s at Finnigan’s bar, down by the docks?”
Callie shrugged and kissed Jesse. She had never felt so alive before and Callie was lucky that she remembered her own name after what had happened in the upstairs room. She felt a hand on her shoulder and she looked up at Eric. “What?”
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah, chill out. What is the big deal?”
Eric and Jesse looked at each other and Jess pushed the blonde away from him. “Sorry babe. I got to go. See you around.”
Eric couldn’t believe that his first day with a sister, he was already having to go save her. It was of course, his fault, but he was not given time to talk to her about anything. He had been more worried about the moisture content of her under garments. Eric had been told that the Jeffers clan was in the area, a few of their bikes had been seen at Finnigan’s. Eric had been debating if they should go down there after the reception, but it seemed that his enemy had beaten him to the punch.
The two had met in college of all places, but as Eric had finished after the accident, Rex had not. Rex’s best friend was killed in a motorcycle crash from a race that went wrong. Everyone blamed his brother Greg for the way he was driving and the amount of liquor he had consumed, but Rex always blamed Eric for not stopping it. Eric had been on the other side of campus and knew nothing about it, but he had promised Rex that he would watch over him while he was gone for the weekend. He had failed and since then, it was back and forth between the two. Eric knew that if Rex knew who she was, he would find a way to get at him, through her.
The old friends had parted ways and while both ended up in gangs, Eric was the one that had tried to end it the year before. He had gotten over and accepted what had happened, but Rex would never be able to let it go. Eric felt fear for the first time in a long time, but it wasn’t for himself, but for his new sister. He knew he would never be able to forgive himself if something happened to her.

Bethany was no worse for wear, oblivious to it all. He had taken her to an old house set away from the road. It was a bit worn down and certainly unlike anything she had experienced before, but the liquor and the smoke in the air, seemed to calm her down.
Rex was very attentive, but he seemed to ask a lot of questions about Eric. If she had been more sober, there would have been alarm bells going off in her head, but instead she
