Two Different Worlds Collide (Blood & Bones MC Book 1)

Chapter 2

Ember's POV

My gaze shifted to the person with the new voice, and Lord have mercy, a fine-looking specimen of a man. He had to have been over 6 feet with bright blue eyes, dark hair that was a bit long, tan skin, and muscles for days. His face was a work of rugged art, and his arms were covered with tattoos. He wore a dark expression as he looked at the men holding Cass and me.

"Fuck off, Hawk! This is none of your concern," said the man holding me.

"It's my concern when you are manhandling women in my town who do not want to be manhandled, Butch." The gorgeous man, apparently named Hawk, replied.

"This is neutral territory; we do not have to listen to you." Butch bit back as he slid his hand down to cup my ass. I started to struggle more against him, and no way was I just going to play the damsel in distress.

Hawk began to move across the floor towards the bikers holding onto Cass and me. I went to say something, but Butch covered my mouth with his hand that was not on my ass. That was the opening I needed. I bit down on his hand as hard as I could. "Bitch," hissed Butch as he pulled back from me a little bit. I jabbed my elbow into his gut right before the third biker in their group punched me in the face knocking me backward. I braced myself to hit the floor, but the impact never came as two strong arms caught me. I looked up into the angry eyes of Hawk before he righted me and shoved me into another huge man's arms. I looked up to his face to see him smiling brightly at me. I don't know what there was to be smiling about right now.

I looked back to find Cass, only to see her with a knife to her neck, her eyes wide with tears streaming down, and her face deathly pale. FUCK!

Hawk had his hands raised in a non-threatening manner, "Look, just let the girl go and walk away."

The man I had jabbed in the gut was still doubled, overtaking in painful breaths. It serves you right, asshole. The guy with the knife dug it a little deeper into Cass's neck, "Fuck that, we already told you we don't listen to you. This isn't your territory, so this isn't any of your business. You can keep the other one, but we'll take the nice lady for a fun little ride. She'll enjoy it. Hell, she'll be begging for more" At that last bit, he ground his hips into Cass's ass, and her tears came down her cheeks faster.

Hell no, she is not! I struggled in the big smiling man's arms, trying to get to Cass when I noticed movement behind the man and saw someone sneaking up with a gun in his hand.

"She is not going to be going anywhere with you." The man with the gun said as he put the gun to the man's head, holding Cass.

Suddenly many things happened at once. Hawk stormed forward to grab ahold of the guy that had punched me, who had begun to reach into the back of his pants, presumably to get a gun of his own. The guy with the knife started to turn his head towards the guy with the gun, while another guy rushed up to grab Cass from the guy. Another guy had tackled the guy I elbowed to the floor.

Cass was clinging to the guy who had grabbed her with her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist as she cried into his neck. He was soothingly running one of his hands over her hair while whispering to her. Hmmm, the big scary biker guy seemed to have a soft spot for Cass; going to have to keep an eye on whatever that is.

Seeing as Cass was handled for the moment, I turned my attention back to the men who had harassed us. All of them were now subdued.

The one I had elbowed glared at me, "You will regret this Bitch," before turning his glare to Hawk, "We won't forget this. This isn't over," before signaling his men to head towards the door. The one who had had his hold on Cass looked at her as he licked his lips, "I'll still be getting my taste of that sweet piece of ass." They all slowly backed towards the door, going out of it and slamming it shut.

I breathed out a breath that I didn't realize I was holding and closed my eyes for a second to calm down. When I opened my eyes, Hawk was in front of me.

Hawk's POV

Fuck. This woman was beautiful. Curves I could hold onto and sink my teeth in. I wanted to wrap my fist around that long curly dark hair and have my way with her. I could get lost in big brown eyes. she was tiny compared to my 6 foot 5, but I could tell what she lacked in size. She made up for it in ferocity. When she elbowed Butch in the gut and got herself out of his hold, I couldn't help but be impressed. Beauty and strength were a great combination; it made me wonder what else there might be to this brown-eyed beauty.

I moved closer to her. She had closed her eyes, so she hadn't seen me move in front of her. When she opened them, her eyes widened in surprise. "Are you okay?" I asked her.

"Yea, thanks for that." She replied to me. God, I could listen to that voice for hours.

"I'm Hawk. The guy behind you is Buster." She looked behind her and must have just realized he had let her go, so she took a step away from him and to the side away from me. Even though we saved, I'm guessing she feels a little weary of Bikers.

"I'm Ember." She looked towards her friend, who was still in Gage's arms. Ember, like a spark to a flame. This woman had lit some fire in me, and I wanted to know more. When she reached Gage and her friend, Ember put her hand on her friend's shoulder. Ember put her hand on her friend's shoulder, causing her friend to jerk in surprise. Poor Girl.

"Cass, it's okay. It's just me." Her friend turned and looked at her. Realization dawned on her face, and she dove from Gage's arms toward Ember. Ember immediately hugged her friend. Gage looked like he was not a fan of not having the little blonde in his arms. Interesting.

"Prez, we will look out even more for the Devil's Runners. They are not going to take this act lying down. They're going to want some retribution for this." Buster said, pulling my attention away from the women.

I sighed deeply. "I know, but they would have caused issues like always anyways. This will be another excuse for them to keep doing it. Would you rather we just have let them rape them?"

Shocked, he replied, "Fuck no! I am just saying we will need to make a plan for when they begin to seek their retribution for this."

Our oldest member Axel came up next to us, "Do you think we should head back to the ranch Prez? Cut the ride short just in case Butch and his guys come back with more?" Axel had a point. I glanced back at the woman. Ember was whispering to her friend at rapid speed. Gage still had yet to take his eyes off the little blonde.

"Gage!" I called out to him. He turned to look at me, and I signaled for him to come to our small, formed circle. He looked back at the blonde again before coming toward us.

"What are we going to do, Hawk? We can't just let those girls go off on their own; you heard Butch and Snake said. They're going to go after them." Gage said as soon as he had reached us.

"Calm down, Gage; we're not just gonna leave to be sitting ducks for the DRs." I quickly replied, trying to calm him down.

"Well, they're not a club. They're not just going to listen to whatever you tell them to do." Axel pointed out. He's not wrong.

"It's not like they'll have a choice," Gage said, his voice full of determination. I have never seen him act like this. That little blonde must have made an impression on him.

"We don't even know anything about them," Axel replied, trying to be the voice of reason in this situation.

"Look, let's get them back to the ranch. There we can regroup and figure things out." I finally said, settling the matter for now.

"Uh, Boss, that might be hard to do." Buster suddenly said.

"And why's that?" I asked him, annoyed.

"Because the women are gone," was Buster's reply.

I turned to look where Ember had been, and sure enough, my brown-eyed beauty was gone. WAIT? Mine? I have only said a few words to the woman. She is not mine. What am I thinking? "Oh, for Fucks sake!" I half-shouted while looking around the bar.

"MOTHER FUCKER!" Came a female screech from outside that sounded a lot like Ember. The guys and I all looked at each other before reaching for our guns and running outside the bar.
