Locked On

Chapter 6

Hawk
I followed closely behind Venus as she led me to a large red door with gold lettering labelling it the office of Mr Montarrio. Her dainty fist knocked twice against the door before she called out to announce her presence.

The door flung open revealing a muscular older man with greying  hair and a seedy moustache.
"Venus, why the fuck are you not with Barry?" The man growled with barely controlled rage and my eyes clocked the handgun tucked into the front of his cream suit pants.

"Barry had to leave... unexpectedly. I would like to discuss payment for me to have Venus for the rest of her shift," I firmly stated as I stepped slightly in front of Venus. Something about her boss gave me all the wrong kinds of vibes and the way Venus' body was so tensed as if expecting an attack it made me think that this was the asshole who struck her earlier in the night.

"Ah yes! Of course it would be an absolute pleasure to do business with a Son!" Mr Montarrio's anger quickly disappeared as he plastered a charming smile on his face that I could see right through.  He gestured for me to enter his office and shut the door behind us.

I could just run I thought to myself. I could run all the way home and grab Dylan and get out of this shit hole. But even as the thought entered my mind I squashed it. Mr Montarrio had made it very clear tonight that I was his property not just an employee who could leave at any time. He would track me down and I couldn't risk any harm coming to Dylan. Not to mention the green eyed biker who was just about to pay a shit ton of money for the rest of my shift. Surely he'd come after me too after spending that much money. I was beyond terrified of what he might want from me tonight. I jumped as the door opened suddenly and the biker stormed out of the office.

"Come with me," he gruffly threw over his shoulder as he began to walk towards the exit.

A feeling of absolute dread settled over me as I realised that he intended on us leaving the Midnight Lounge. He would have paid a fortune for the privilege to take me wherever he pleased. I was sure I was about to become a victim for the second time tonight and I truly hated myself at that moment. I pathetically followed him out of the establishment and across the parking lot to his bike. He pushed a helmet onto my head and quickly did up the chin strap. He swung his leg over the bike and looked expectantly at me. Without any protest I got on behind him and wrapped my arms around tightly him when the engine roared to life startling me. I could have sworn I heard a light chuckle come from the man in front of me. As the bike took off I squeezed my eyes shut tight in terror as a few tears slipped out. I just willingly got onto a bike with a Son who had practically bought me for the night. I was sure I was as good as dead.

"You can hop off now love," His warm deep voice broke into my thoughts causing my eyes to snap open and I quickly realised that we had come to a stop. I jumped off the bike as if it had just burnt me and ripped the helmet from my head. I took several step backwards as Hawk also got of the bike. His hands reached towards me and I quickly deposited the helmet into them before backing up even more. A deep frown creased his smooth forehead as he placed the helmet onto one of the handle bars.

"You're crying!" He sounded genuinely alarmed at the sight of my tear streaked face. "I'm sorry love did the bike scare you? I tried to drive slowly for you."

I shook my head at him before I suddenly realised we were standing in front of my apartment building. I snapped my gaze back to Hawk to find him staring intently at me as if trying to figure out a complex puzzle.

"I-I don't know what it is you're expecting from me tonight but it can't happen here," I rushed out in a panic, "p-please my son is upstairs! We can go back to your clubhouse room. I-I'll behave I promise. P-please not here." I stumbled over my words as more tears overflowed leaving tracks down my cheeks. A violent storm seemed to be raging in his eyes before they softened and he took a step closer to me with his palms held up in surrender.

"I'm not going to harm you Venus. Please calm down. I've paid Montarrio for your release from his business and made it clear you're under the Sons protection. You don't have to worry about him anymore. He will never harm you again," he spoke slowly and softly as if talking to a frightened child. I suppose that was probably what I seemed like at this moment.

"W-why?" I choked out. I didn't understand what this man wanted from me.

"You are much too precious to have your spirit broken at a place like that!"

As my fear began to subside I suddenly felt anger taking its place. "I didn't ask for your help! How the fuck am I meant to pay my rent or feed my child! Mr Montarrio won't want to lose customers so he will ensure I never work at any of the other clubs!" I screamed at him.

"He was abusing you!" He yelled back at me.

The memory of what I'd been forced to do earlier that night slammed into me at full force and a strangled cry broke free from my lips as I sunk to my knees. Warm arms wrapped around me and pulled me gently back up to my feet. He held me against his chest and ran his hands soothingly across my back as I cried until there was no tears left to cry. I pushed myself away from his embrace and took several steps back.

"Just leave me alone... please," I whispered as I turned and made my way inside the building.

Hello I'm currently rewriting Locked On as I wasn't happy with it so things will be different after this chapter. Hopefully those who had already read the previous version will still enjoy this one.
