OWNED: BLAZING DEVILS MC (7 page)

Silk raised his
eyebrows. “What happened?”

Link shrugged. “I
don’t know but I’m about to ride over with you to find out.”

Jay walked back in
the room, a rag pressed against his wound.

“We have to ride
out for a minute,” Link said. “You need to stay with the girl.” He glanced at
me and he must have seen the fear that crept into my eyes cause he sighed
loudly. “Relax.” Then he looked at Jay again. “No one touches her,” he said in
a cold voice. “Do we have an understanding?”

Jay nodded.

“Good,” Link said,
walking toward the door. “We’ll be back soon.”

Silk followed him
out and the door slammed shut behind them.

Leaving me all
alone with Jay.

Jay looked at me,
smirking. “Don’t get too comfortable. Link will come to his senses. We can’t
let you go, you know too much.”

“I’m not going to
tell anyone,” I whispered.

He laughed loudly
and pulled the rag away from his face, checking to see if he was still
bleeding. “Of course, you’ll tell someone. You’re a bitch, bitches always have
to tell someone something.”

“I’m thirsty,” I
told him, licking my lips.

Jay shrugged. “I
don’t care.”

“Can I have some
water?” My mouth was so dry I felt like my throat was going to close up.
“Please?”

Jay made a big
show of sighing like he couldn’t believe how annoying I was. “You’ll have to
wait, I’m busy.” He flopped his large body on top of a huge box that was
resting in the corner.

I took the time to
study him. He was evil looking, with long hair, and eyes that looked dead. Eyes
that looked like they had no emotion inside of them at all, he looked like a
stone cold killer. But was even more disturbing was the fact that he seemed to
like looking that way. It seemed to satisfy him, to thrill him.

The door to the
supply closet swung open and I jerked my head to the side, hoping that it was
Link and Silk, but it’s wasn’t; it was Tasha Jenkins. I recognized her from
high school. She was one of those girls who acted more like a thug than a lady.
I had never had any problems with her but she had caught one of my girls
checking out her boyfriend in high school once outside of school and stomped
her face into the ground.

What the hell was
she doing here? I had never seen her at the restaurant before. She looked me up
and down
;
her skin glowing. She snapped her gum
loudly. “So this is the trick that’s sneaking around listening to conversations,
huh?” She snarled at me and walked over to Jay, swinging her hips as she went.
“Let me see, baby” She took the rag that was covered in blood and studied his
face closely. “It doesn’t look too bad. You okay?”

Jay huffed and
stuck his chest out. “Of course, I’m okay, I’m no pussy.”

Tasha turned her
attention to me. “You little bitch, you got my baby snuffed in the face with a
gun. I should snuff you in the face so you can see what the fuck it feels
like.” She took a few steps toward me and went to grab me but Jay jumped off
the box he was posted up on and dragged her backward.

“Stop, not yet.
Link wants her untouched for now.”

Tasha pulled out
of Jay’s grasp and ground her teeth together while she grilled me. “You better
thank god today, bitch, you lucky. But as soon as I’m able you’re getting your
face pounded in.”

Jay looked and me
and smirked, satisfied that I was going to get what was coming to me. “Yeah, if
she even makes it that far. I have a feeling she isn’t going to be breathing
too much longer,” he winked at me and I felt my heart start to speed up again.

This couldn’t be
happening to me. I felt like I was about to have a heart attack at any second
with
all the
racing my heart was doing. I glanced at
the door again, hoping for Link or Silk again but it stayed shut, taunting me.

“Why do you keep
looking at the door?” Jay snapped. “You waiting for someone to come in and
rescue you from the big bad wolf?”

Him and Tasha
started cracking up.

“No,” I said. “I
came in here to get something and I’m supposed to be working right now. It’s
only a matter of time before someone realizes I’m missing and comes looking for
me.”

Jay snarled his
nostrils in disgust. “You better hope they don’t because if they do, I don’t
think I need to tell you how their blood will be on your hands.”

Tasha laughed
loudly then turned her body toward him. I looked away from her, uncomfortable.
She was wearing a tight tank top and booty shorts. Her ass was practically
falling out of her shorts. I had no idea how girls could dress like that. I
would be way to shy to dress that way.

“Maybe we should
go and make sure that no one comes looking for her.” Tasha took a few steps
closer to him and grinds herself into him. “And while we’re out there we can do
something else.” She grabbed his crotch with her hand. “Oh, baby, you already
hard. Just the sight of me gets you excited, huh?”

Jay grabbed her
and pulled her into his arms. He grabbed her ass roughly. “You know it. As soon
as I seen you my huge cock got hard as fuck.” Then he licked his lips and
winked at me. His eyes were on me the entire time, letting me know that it was
me who had really gotten him hard.

I felt like I was
going to throw up.

“Let’s go,” he
said, smacking her ass and pointing her toward the door.

“What about her?”
Tasha asked.

“What about her?
The bitch isn’t going anywhere,” he looked me right in the eye, “cause she
knows if she does, she’s dead.”

Tasha laughed
loudly again and walked toward the door.

Jay came over to
me and leaned in really close. “Don’t do anything stupid, bitch, I’ll be right
outside and if I have to stop fucking that bitch just to chase your slut ass
down, I’m gonna be pissed off.”

“I’m not going to
try and run,” I told him softly.

“Good girl,” he
said. Then he glanced to where Tasha was standing by the door and leaned in
close to me, whispering. “Don’t be jealous, I’ll be thinking about you the
whole time.”

Then he smirked
and they both left the room.

I was going to
die. There was no way I was going to walk away from this alive. Jay was completely
and totally against it. I knew Link and his brothers were the ones in charge,
but I had to be realistic. Even if right now Link thought killing me was a bad
idea, how long was that really going to last?

I was a liability.
I knew too much at this point.

I knew what
happened to people who knew too much about the Ford brothers. I knew what
happened to people who asked too many questions about the Ford brothers. I had
heard the stories. I didn’t want to end up one of those stories. I had to get
out of there. I knew it was stupid, I knew running was a huge risk. If they
caught me they would put a bullet in my head. But if I stayed they were
probably going to put a bullet in my head, anyway. At least this way I would
have a chance.

But what would I
do if I got away?

They knew where I
worked. They knew my name. They could easily find me if they wanted to. I
didn’t intend to go to the cops, I wasn’t a fool,
I
knew what happened to people who snitched on The Blazing Devils. No one wanted
to associate with a rat on the streets. If I told anyone the Ford brothers and
their brothers wouldn’t be the only ones I had problems with.

I had a little bit
of savings, I would have to run, that’s the only thing I could see working. I
would have to get the kids and run. Maybe once Link realized I had never gone
to the cops it would be safe for me to come back eventually.

I didn’t have time
to think about what would happen if I did it. Jay and Tasha were probably only
going to be gone for a few more minutes. If I was going to make a run for it I
was going to have to do it fast.

I tiptoed over to
the door and crept it open as slow as possible. I listened first. Silence. I
poked my head out of the door slowly and peeked back and forth down the hall.
No one was in sight; it was now or never.

I gathered up all
the strength I had and took off down the hall toward the back exit of the
restaurant. I started off at an average pace but as I got closer and closer to
the back door it became a full on sprint. I was so close and it dawned on me
that I was going to make it. I was going to be free.

I swung the door
open and the wind blew on my face at full forth reminding me that I was in the
real world once again. The happiness didn’t last long because one foot out the
door I ran smack into the muscular chest of Link Ford.

“Going somewhere?”

The second I ran
into Link’s chest I knew I was fucked even more than I was before. What the
hell was I going to do now? If Link was even considering keeping me alive
before, there was no way he would now. He probably assumed right away that I
was running to go and tell the cops.

As soon as my eyes
met his I started freaking out. I started hysterically crying and screaming at
the top of my lungs.

“Oh, great. Let’s
be dramatic,” Link said. He swept me back inside with him, shutting the door
behind him. He picked me up and threw me over his toned shoulders with little
effort, walking me back down the hall toward the storage closet. I was pounding
him on his back as hard as I could, screaming at the top of my lungs the entire
time.

He swung the door
open and set me down on the floor, slamming the door shut behind him. “What the
hell is your problem?”

I looked up at him
from the floor, my chest pounding up and down with a rush I didn’t know I had
in me. I started crying again and pounding my fist against his legs. “Let me
go! Please let me go! I can’t die! I can’t die! I WON’T TELL ANYONE! LET ME GO!
LET ME GO!”

Link picked me up
off the ground in one swift motion and lifted me up to his level, his hands
clamped around my wrist. “Hey, hey, calm yourself down. No one’s killing you.
Damn, girl, pull yourself together.”

I froze in place,
stopping my breakdown for the time being. His hands were still clamped around
my wrist and I felt a shock run up and down my body at the contact, his eyes
burning into mine. I took his deep brown eyes in for a few more seconds before
forcing myself to take a step back and pull myself together.

“You… you aren’t
going to kill me?”

Link shook his
head. “No, I’m not going to kill you, Lacey.”

“You know my
name?” Shock ran through me.

Link nodded. “I
know everyone in this city. I wouldn’t leave Joe and Alexis with no one over
you being in the wrong place at the wrong time. That’s not how I run things.”

He knew my little
sister and brother’s name.

He knew I was in
charge of them.

He knew
everything.

Link shook his
perfect skin from side to side again. “I swear if bitches aren’t throwing their
pussy at me, they’re running in fear from me like I have no heart at all. And
maybe I don’t when it comes to certain shit, but I don’t kill just to kill,
Lacey. Don’t cross
me or any of my brothers
and you’ll
never have a problem with us. Spread the word.” He looked pissed as he said it:
like he can’t believe I would think so low of him considering everything I’d
heard and everything that I’d been through today. Yes, I had gone through a
minor breakdown but I thought I was doing pretty well under the circumstances.

“But…Jay said…” I
trailed off.

He snapped his
head around. “Jay said what?”

“Nothing,” I lied
automatically, not wanting to cause any more problems with Jay than I already
had.

Link laughed,
seeing right through me. “It doesn't even matter, does it look like Jay’s in
charge around here? Does it look like any of the brothers answer to Jay?”

I shook my head
no.

“Okay, then, just
relax. You have my word nothing is going to happen to you. I just need to keep
an eye on you until after everything that goes down tonight is carried out. I
can’t have anything getting screwed up. After that, you’re free to go,” he
paused. “But I don’t have to tell you what will happen if you run your mouth
about any of this, Lacey. I’m putting a certain level of trust in you here.”

“I know
,
I’m not going to tell anyone anything, I swear.” I meant
it, too. If he was really going to let me walk out of here I wasn’t going to
screw that up by running my mouth to anyone. Especially when other people in
his crew like Jay thought it was best to kill me.

Link nodded.
“Good, now that that shit is all straightened out, maybe you can relax. I
probably have bruises all over me now thanks to you,” he smiled and I see a
sparkle in his eye that wasn’t present before.

I couldn’t help
but laugh. “Oh, please. You probably couldn’t even feel it.”

He smiled again
and I notice right away how white his teeth are. “You hit pretty decently,
actually. I mean; for a girl.”

“Thanks, I think.”

“It’s a
compliment, trust me.”

I smiled at him,
shocked that I was able to relax even a little bit considering the
circumstances. But I believed him for some reason. I believed that he was not
going to let anything bad happen to me, that when this was all over he was
going to let me go. I don’t know why, if it was Jay or Silk, I wouldn’t trust
them for a second. But Link was different. He seemed too real to play games
like that. He seemed like if he said something he meant it. The realest men
were the ones who had decent follow through, and Link definitely seemed like he
had that.

“So, why did you
have to run out of here so fast before?” I was playing dumb
;
like I hadn’t heard the thing about his brother pulling a gun on someone across
town.

He raised his
eyebrows at me and I immediately felt stupid for asking. He was taking pity on
me, that didn’t mean we were friends. That didn’t mean he was going to go
around telling me about his business.
