Rust: A Bad Boy Romance (Courage MC) Read Online Free

motorcycle club in town. I stood trembling, waiting for his response.
    Rust revved his engine, grinding his teeth. “You’ll be hearing from us.” he simply said, though I could tell I got him. I turned around and walked in the house, pleased with myself. The roar of their engines faded into the distance.
    “What did you tell them?” my dad asked me as I slammed the door behind me.
    “I made them an offer they couldn’t refuse.” I smiled.

    “ T hat bitch !” I slammed my fist into the wall, punching it straight through. How could anyone challenge the Courage like that? Let alone, some girl.
    “Calm down. Just calm down.” Bruce, the boss of our crew, had driven down to talk about everything with me. He was the one who approved deals and the fact that Jackie had sidestepped me like that made matters complicated for me. Now I had to sit with the boss of the whole crew and decide what was going down. That meant less money for me and more headaches for everyone involved. It wasn’t something I was happy about. “Just tell me what you’re thinking. We’ll go from there.”
    “I’m thinking that she has us by the balls, Bruce. It’s either us or Darkhorse who takes their territory and I sure as hell won’t let it be Bobby’s people that get it.” I was fuming, walking in circles. My whole world was spinning. “She’s just some girl! You ever see her on the streets, Bruce?”
    “Can’t say that I have, but she’s Lane’s daughter. She demands respect. I understand that.” Bruce said, lighting up a cigarette.
    “You understand that? In what fucking way do you understand her actions? She fired a gun at a captain! You’re going to sit there and take that?”
    “Hell no. I don’t take threats. You know that, Rust. But I sure as hell ain’t going to start no war! You remember what happened the last time with Bobby. Took us everything we had to kill him. Frankly, I thought they’d be over that by now, but they’re not.” He shook his head and laughed. “Shit, we’re in a bind, huh?”
    “You bet your ass we are.” I said. We were at a stand still. There was no way out of this. We would have to give in to their demands.
    “Alright. So we let them keep their territory. Their name too. Fuck it. Hell’s Wheels has some traction around these parts, so it ain’t going to hurt us too bad if we do that. We sell their drugs in your club–it’s good shit, right?”
    I nodded. “ninety-eight percent pure.”
    “Hmm. Well, maybe this will be a good thing for us. We can get their supplier contact. Eventually, I mean. And then we can build from there.”
    “It ain’t about that, Bruce. This whole thing, it’s not a bad gig. I could care less if they keep their territory or not. We benefit either way. It’s just the fact that she’s a girl and she’s tryin’ to tell me what to do. This is about respect. Respect for Courage. Respect for me and you. Respect for the oaths we’ve taken. You can’t just go in a place and demand whatever you want. That just ain’t how it works.”
    Bruce thought to himself for a second. “Well, when you’re right, you’re right. So we’ll throw in some clauses with this. We’ll make them work for it. If they want to keep their territory, they’re going to have to help us take away Darkhorse’s.” he laughed.
    “So, a war with Darkhorse? Thought you said you weren’t into that idea.”
    “Not a war. We use the Hell’s Wheels name to take the Darkhorse territory. Think about it. Some small crew is inching their way into Darkhorse’s land. They’re going to retaliate, but they won’t win if two crews are going against them.”
    “What are you saying, Bruce? Spell it out for me.” I said. Was he really trying to wage war with them again? It hadn’t been that long since Bobby Farole died. Then again, I wasn’t complaining too much. I despised the Darkhorse faction. Loathed everything they stood for.
    “I’m saying we beat them out with sales and
