time it was Blaze’s blood spattering the pavement.
Luke’s fists swung fast and furious. Once, twice, again and again, I heard the meaty slap of fist on face and bone crunching under brutal force. Blaze grunted in pain.
Luke picked Blaze up and hurled him on top of the vehicle. “What the fuck do you think you’re doing with my sister?” he spat with venom. “Who the fuck do you think you are?”
“Calm the fuck down!” Blaze sputtered.
Luke was enraged. “Calm down? Don’t you ever fucking tell me what to do!” Another fist lashed out and I heard more bone shatter. I winced and covered my eyes.
Seconds ago, everything had been perfect. Now I was watching my brother beat the hell out of the first man I had ever wanted to make love to me.
“I won’t ever calm down, do you understand that?” Luke said. “I’m sick of your shit, you cocky fuck. You think you’ve got this patch and you get to do whatever you want now? Fuck no. Not on my watch. You’re coming with me.”
Luke turned and started dragging Blaze towards the backyard. I tried to pry Luke’s hands off of him. He whirled and shoved me backwards.
“You stay the fuck back here, you hear me, Olivia?” Luke ordered. “Me and this raggedy piece of shit are gonna have a nice lil’ chat, man to man. You go instead and stay there. This is our business, ain’t no room for a woman to get involved with it.”
I tried to protest, but Luke shrugged me off and turned to finish pulling Blaze through the gate. Blaze was still dazed from the blows to the face, but I could see him struggling to pull himself together and fight back. “Get off me, you son of a bitch,” he slurred, but the surprise pain was proving difficult for him to think through.
Luke laughed wickedly. “Let’s go, kiddo,” he said to Blaze. He shut the gate in my face and locked it before I could fight my way through.
That’s when I heard the gun cock.
I ran through the house towards the back. Just as I was about to pop open the back door so I could get into the yard and stop Luke, several pairs of hands pulled me back.
“No, no,” said Narco, one of Luke’s patch brothers. He was massive, well over six feet tall, with a grip like steel. There was no use even trying to fight him. “That’s Luke’s business, Miss Olivia, so I think you oughta stay in here and let them hash it out.”
Sliver, another Inked Angel, nodded. He was rail-thin, but the muscles that clung to his wiry frame were taut.
“Luke’ll handle it all, no sweat,” he said. “Can’t let you interfere, unfortunately.”
I wanted to scream. The rush of passion was still swirling through my brain, making everything hazy. Blaze’s hands on me, his lips on mine, the swelling burn between my legs that begged me to submit to his touch, to let him pull me on top of him and push himself into the part of me that wanted it most.
I jumped onto the couch and yanked open the window. Narco and Sliver stood behind me, cautious to make sure I wouldn't try to intervene. I could see Luke and Blaze out back. Their voices sliced through the night air.
“I’m only gonna tell you this one time,” Luke said. His hands were busy toying with something, but I couldn’t see what. “You’re gonna stay away from my sister forever.
And stay the fuck away from Austin, too. As far as I’m concerned, you could never come back here and that’d be just fine with all of us down at the clubhouse.”
“You know, Blaze said, wiping blood from his mouth, “your sister’s getting to be a woman now. Seems like she should be making her own decisions. If she wants to kiss someone, I think she oughta have the right.”
“You shut your fucking mouth right now before I put a bullet between those pretty white teeth of yours,” Luke said. He swung his hand up and I saw what he had been holding—a pistol, shiny and cocked,
