A Hidden Danger

A Chance

Data

"I'm surprised the charity case was willing to come over again. What it is you need this time, huh? You think you can come in and seduce one of the brothers into helping you again? Girl, you need to get a life and stop coming over here trying to steal away our men," Macy said with a smirk.

Hammer went to stand in front of Autumn. I was seeing red and since no one was paying attention to me, I could make my way up to Macy. She was a problem that intended to get rid of right then. I had tried to send her the message that I didn't want to talk to her just moments before. But she would not take this lying down it seemed. And I wouldn't be letting her get away with causing more trouble with Autumn.

"I thought you were supposed to be friends with Rachel and yet here you are trying to make a move on Hammer. You're really pathetic if you think you're going to mean anything to any of these guys. Read my lips. You are just a charity case."

"I think you need to fucking shut your mouth now!" I growled out.

I could see Rachel stomping her way over, and Hammer was taking a step toward Macy. The brothers were against violence on women, but that didn't mean we wouldn't let our women handle that. Hammer had fought hard to get Rachel to date him, and that bitch was trying to start something.

"Macy, you are asking for an ass beating." Rachel yelled as she got to Hammer. He wrapped an arm around her to pull her back.

"What, you hate it when someone points out the obvious? All you men keep treating that girl like she's some breakable object with some kind of magical vagina! She's nothing! Data, I can make you feel good in ways that you can't even imagine." Macy says, as she turns to me.

I scoff at her statement. "Macy, the only thing you would do for me is give me something I can't shake off! I have no interest in you and I never have. I only spoke to you so that I could try to get Autumn off my mind! My interest in her was the only thing that made me even acknowledge your existence." I say, looking at her with a glare that I hoped got my point across.

"That's not true!" Macy screams. "I could see the desire in your eyes! You want me!"

"And here I thought I was the only one who couldn't believe this shit." Autumn huffed out. She walked around Hammer and stood in front of Macy.

"I'll openly admit that the club has helped me. That's not a secret around here. But what I won't admit to is being pathetic. I escaped what I thought was a dangerous situation. If that makes you think I'm pathetic, then you've got a lot more problems than just being a bitch." Autumn said.

"You think you can just walk in here and bat your lashes talking about how scared you are and all the men are going to fall at your feet?" Macy seethed.

"What kind of crack are you on?" Autumn asked, crossing her arms over her chest.

"What? I'm not on crack."

"No, you have to be. That's the only explanation for the fucked up ideas you've got. And darn it, you've got me cursing. I don't curse!" Autumn huffed.

Rachel laughed, as did the other women around. I had been hearing murmurs of how much the old ladies were tiring of the club whores. To me it seems like the time had come for them to leave. I hadn't noticed a lot of the brothers using their services, either. Things had been changing since we had gone legit. I knew that I would have been more than happy to see that happen.

"I think this is as good a time as any to work this shit out!" Match yelled. "It becomes more obvious every time we have a get together that the club girls and the old ladies will never get along. I get it. Most of the men here are matched up already and the ones who aren't are not really using the girls. I say we get rid of the club whores. Anyone have a problem with that?"

Not one brother said anything about wanting to keep them. It had been a problem for years, and no one really wanted to confront the problem. They all just wanted to stay out of the fight. That wasn't something that could keep going on and us getting our shit together.

"I object!" Macy yelled. I rolled my eyes. I should have known she would do this. "I became a whore so that I would get a man to take care of me! I don't plan on working or doing anything. I thought you bikers were supposed to take care of your women. What was the point in us letting you use us if you weren't ever going to give that to us?"

"We do, but you aren't anyone's woman!" Tex said with a smirk. "You knew what you were getting into when you signed up for this. I know for a fact that you were told what the score was before you signed your contract to be here. You knew there was no guarantee that you would become an old lady."

"Each girl will be given some money to start over, but you are all to be out by the end of the week." Match called out.

The uproar from the girls was immediate, and Macy was more upset than anyone. She made her closer to Autumn, and I knew that look I was seeing in her eye. I jumped in a grabbed Autumn, turning her while Hammer grabbed Macy. That was all it took for Rachel to jump Macy and it quickly became a fight with the old ladies and the whores.

I picked Autumn up and ran toward the clubhouse. I wanted nothing to happen to her. She was pregnant and I wouldn't risk anything happening to her or that child. I ran up the stairs and into my room, sitting her on the bed as turned and locked the door.

"What's going on? Why did you bring me here?" Autumn was flustered and scared.

"That was turning into an all-out brawl and I wasn't about to let anything happen to you." I told her.

I turned to look at her and saw confusion on her face. I knew that a lot had happened over the last few weeks for her and I could only imagine the struggles she is having. I walked over and squatted down in front of her so that we were face to face.

"But why? You were so quick to push me away before. I don't understand any of this Data." She said and I could see the tears forming in her eyes.

"For sweetheart, it's Austin." I whispered.

"Austin? Who's that?" She asked with an adorably cute face.

"That's my real name. In our culture only those you love or hold dear get to call you by your name." I said, looking her in the eye. I needed her to see the sincerity in it.

"Love or hold, dear?" she repeated softly.

"Autumn, I know I've been a complete fuck up. I've hurt you deeply and for the rest of my life I'm going to keep trying to make that up to you. I was afraid. Autumn, Marigold, there are things about your husband and family that made me afraid to get close to you." I said honestly. Her face was confused.

"They just run a business." She scoffed.

"No, it's more than that. But I need you to trust me when I say you don't want to know any more than that. I'm going to do everything I can to keep you and the baby safe. I know you don't trust me because of what I did, but I swear I'm going to win that back. I want the chance to show you the world you deserve. A world where you are safe and happy. Where you know that you're the only woman in the world that matters to me."

"Why should I give you that chance? You humiliated me and let that woman talk to me like I'm nothing. Do you have any idea what my life's been like? I was in an arranged marriage with no affection. We were cordial and did the duty we knew we had to. I've never been anyone's first choice or someone that anyone would give anything to be with. Even my parents treated me more like a possession than their child. You know what made me finally run?" she asked in a shaky voice.

"No."

"He was screwing the person who was supposed to be my best friend. Looking back, I can see that friendship for what it was. She was picked to be my friend and to keep me in line." This time she let the tears fall.

"Then can you let me do all that? Will you let me choose you first and be the man and best friend that you've always wanted and deserved?" I asked.
