ROUGHNECK: A DARK MOTORCYCLE CLUB ROMANCE Read Online Free

knew it or not, she walked right into my world and that was a dangerous place for any female to be. Especially one with perfect tits and the face of an angel.
    Something about the way she walked through that crowd had my dick jumping to attention. Normally I could shake the memory of a beautiful girl. Sometimes, I had to fuck it out of my system. Something told me she was going to be different.
    “So… What’s her name?”
    The kid paused. “Who?”
    “Your sister. What’s her name?”
    “Adeline,” he said finally, kicking at an empty can on the ground in front of him. “But she won’t come around here again. She hates bikers.”
    Adeline . I like it.
    “I’m gonna go inside. That okay, Roughneck?”
    “In a minute. There’s something else.”
    “I don’t know man… like I said, she doesn’t really dig bikers. I mean, I could ask but…”
    “Not that, dumbass. I don’t need you to ask about a damn thing. Got it?”
    Another silent nod.
    “I want you to steer clear of Sly and Dirty for a while.”
    “Steer clear? You mean avoid them?”
    “Not exactly. But I want you to keep your contact with them to a minimum.”
    “Damn, Roughneck, I don’t know if I’m gonna be able to do that. Any man wearing the patch… I have to do what he tells me.”
    I tried to rub away the headache that was quickly forming behind my eyes. Maybe there was another way to explain it to him.
    “Yeah, you do, but I don’t think you’re hearing me. All I’m saying is that you need to think about what you’re doing. If something doesn’t seem right, then it probably isn’t. So if either one of them needs you for a job, you run it by me first. Easy, right?”
    “I guess so.”
    “No ‘guessing.’ Just don’t get yourself wrapped up in any shit you don’t need to. If you hear Sly, or Dirty, or any other asshole talking about drugs, I want you to come tell me.”
    The way his eyes shifted gave me the idea that he knew more than he was letting on.
    “I’m trying to mind my own business, and that’s it,” he said. “If somebody else is doing something, it’s not up to me to drop a dime on ‘em.”
    “That’s where you’re wrong. It is up to you. Because if I find out later that you knew something and didn’t tell me…”
    His muscles tensed.
    “It’s important. It doesn’t make you a damn snitch either, if that’s what you’re worried about. That’s part of the life. We have to keep an eye on each other so a stupid mistake doesn’t fuck it up for the whole club. That’s my job in this club, and I want you to know that I’m fucking good at my job… You got it?”
    “Yeah. Got it.”
    I didn’t believe him for a second. Why was I wasting my time with the little bastard if he didn’t want to respect it? Maybe I’d been wrong to take a liking to him after all…
    “Go inside,” I said, tersely.
    He jumped off that bucket and made a beeline for the front of the clubhouse. The hurried way he moved made me wonder just how deep Sly’s influence reached.

Adeline
    I should call his probation officer.
    The thought had been rattling around in my head for the past few days. Jared hadn’t come back to the apartment since that night in the bar. If only he realized what would happen if he didn’t have me to fall back on…
    I let out a little sigh and rolled over in bed, the bright red numbers on the clock letting me know it was three in the morning. Another night up worrying…
    And I needed to worry! The only thing keeping his ass out of jail right now is the fact that I have bigger problems. It was the first time in my life I didn’t have him at the top of my list of priorities.
    Seven more days to come up with the rent money. No matter how I did the math, I wasn’t coming anywhere close to the amount I needed. Even if I worked every shift through the end of the week, I wouldn’t make it.
    Damn him for not being here to help me.
    No matter how much I told myself I would call him in, I just
