Chapter 7

CHAPTER SEVEN

ECHO

I can't stop reliving yesterday afternoon. The mutual blowjobs were amazing, but also just being in his presence was everything.

Even if there is something he's not telling me.

Something huge, I'm guessing by the fact Nicky can't find anything out about him. Other than his mom died when he was a baby. That is something I already knew. Joey told me during one of his rambles as I walked him to his car. I may not have ever said much to him, but I soaked up every word. Especially when it was something so personal, like the loss of a parent.

"Are you thinking about your man again?" Fizz calls out from across the clubhouse parking lot as we wait for Kenny to finish his conversation with Stella and Reid.

It's something he does whenever we go on a ride. This one is a bit more intense though because we heading to the Lost Knights clubhouse. We've had no issues with them, but they are a one percent club that favors dealing in cocaine. It's not something I'd want to get involved with, but they don't hurt innocents and they've always treated us with respect.

"Mount up, brothers," Kenny calls out. Fizz looks at me and rolls his eyes with affection. Me, Fizz, Mac, Nicky, and Booker are already on our bikes waiting for Kenny.

I will never tire of the roar as we all start our bikes up and make our way out of the parking lot. This isn't our first ride with Nicky, but it is the first time we ride on club business.

Laura has been completely safe hanging out at the clubhouse. She spends her days hanging out with Toni and working on her Etsy business. I'm not really sure what she does, but it involves a printer and a shitload of envelopes.

She doesn't have a clue why Gary and Red Devils are after her. Other than Gary being an abusive piece of shit.

It's all so fucking confusing.

All we can hope is the Lost Knights have a clue about what they want and why they are trying to kidnap, possibly innocent college students, off the street.

My blood still boils when I think of that greasy cunt having his hands on Joey. He might not be mine, but he feels like he is. Deep down he really feels like he is meant to my partner. I think he feels it too. All that talk about happily ever afters has to mean something right? I t can't just have been about sucking my dick, it's not like he got his sucked properly. Sexy fucker was so turned on eating my dick.

Seriously, I can't get another awkward boner. We're going to be at the lost knights soon and even though they have always been great with us, a full-blown gay guy with a boner might stretch that patience and goodwill. I really don't want that. None of us do.

I try to think of non sexual things for the rest of the ride and it works. By the time we pull into the parking lot, I am boner free. Thank fuck.

I haven't been here before, but Kenny has told me about this place. Looks shitty and run down from the outside but inside is a different story. It's so depressing. I'm pretty sure that is the vibe they are going for, but it still sucks.

One of the warehouse doors open and a Lost Knight brother walks out.

"Hey, I'm Spike, I will be your tour guide for the evening. No guns, no killing, and keep your hands to yourself. Any questions?" After a beat of silence, Spike claps his hands. "Wonderful. Follow me."

Kenny goes first, which makes me nervous, but I know him and there is no way he would let one of us go in front of him if he thinks there is even a hint of danger. Although I'm pretty confident that Kenny doesn't think there is a chance of danger from Dragon. We may be rival clubs, but there is respect.

We head in to a big room where I'm guessing they usually have their club parties. No way would they let us into their church. No club would do that.

"Thank you for coming," Dragon says, and he sits down at a table in the centre of the room. There is enough room for three of them and three of us to sit down. I stay standing and

and keep my eyes pealed for anything that might not be on the up and up.

"Why did you agree to this meeting, Dragon?" Kenny asks straight out the gate. Love that for him. Fuck, Joey's rubbing off on me. I wouldn't mind that happening, actually.

Fucking hell.

No thinking about sex now.

"The Red Devils tried to kidnap my son a few days ago." Dragon looks like he is going to burn the entire world down for that egregious act. I don't blame him. "I want to know everything you do so I can put them down."

"I'm sorry, your kid went through that. How is he doing now?" Kenny asks. No doubt he has Dragon's words playing on his mind. We don't like the Red Devils, but do we want them put down?

"Thankfully, a classmate saw what was happening and stepped in," Dragon says with a grim smile. Fizz and I look at each other.

It can't be.

I'd know if Joey was the son of a biker prez. He wouldn't be able to keep that a secret.

there is a loud bang from the side of the room and I Joey walks into the room, running his hand through familiar golden locks.

"Here he is now," Dragon says, voice full of affection. "Joey, meet the Fallen Gargoyles."

Joey's smile dies on his face as he looks up and sees me. "Echo." he whispers.

All I can do is stare as the man I'm falling in love with stands across from me wearing a brown leather Lost Knights cut, while I stand before him wearing my black leather Fallen Gargoyles cut.

Three words escape me.

"What the fuck?"
