Taken by Lies: Rage Ryderz MC (22 page)

Wasp comes over and clasp my hands and sits next to me on the couch. We hold hands and watch our daughters laughing with each other and their men. They look like one big happy family. I look over to Wasp and see a huge smile on his face as he's watching his daughters with admiration on his face. It looks like temporarily his worries have left. If our girls can do that for him, even for a Moment, it means I get to see that smile I fell in love with. Wishing I could hear that laugh every day that caught my attention so many years ago.

Wasp grabs my attention as he tells me “Ash baby, I don’t know when but things are about to get really interesting, Justin and Tazer had some interesting things that came out of their mouths. I want you to promise me that if you’re not with me that you stick to one of the Brothers. Something doesn’t feel right baby.” Of course, I shake my head to agree with him and fold my legs underneath me on the couch. I have always done this since I was a Kid. It is a way I comfort myself when I start feeling vulnerable. He gives me a peck on the cheek and gets up and walks to the bar for a drink.

Three hours later….

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We were all sitting in the clubhouse, Prez got back with his Ol’ lady Lina two hours ago and the rest of the crew followed shortly behind. The men grilled burgers and hot dogs on the grill. The women made all the side dishes since we all made something our men loved; we wanted to have a meal together tonight just to re-connect everyone. With all the shit we just made it through and feeling that something was coming our way, had us all holding our breath. Waiting made everyone anxious. We have no clue what to prepare for.

The Ol’ ladies kicked the Babes out stating it was family oriented only. The boys were told they could eat with us and then leave the compound if they needed their toys for the night. (Gross!!) Anyway were all sitting in the family area of the clubhouse and some had seats, some were on the floor, or our men’s laps. We were having a good time bullshitting as the guys were entertaining us with stories of adventures while shitfaced. These guys were always playing tricks on each other.

One minute we were all laughing, next thing I know there's this beautiful woman with reddish brown hair and pure green eyes. She was tall, somewhat slender. (I think her height helped with her weight though) She was tan with an hourglass shape. She was out of breath as she entered the room, immediately I flew out of Wasp lap as he yelled “What the fuck are you doing here Cassidy?” Oh hell, this was his girlfriend of the last five years. He has told me about her. Is she here to fight for him? Does she want him back? I feel hands reaching out to mine trying to help me up off the floor, I look up and it’s Riley and Sadie and they look concerned. Guess they know who she is as well. Damn, I hope he doesn’t leave his girls (or me) and go back to her. I know I’m not ugly in the looks department, hell I get hit on everywhere I go. But damn this woman Cassidy is beautiful. I mean model beautiful. I let my daughters help me up off the floor and look over my shoulder and see Wasp just noticing that he had dumped me on the floor. His eyes bug out and he looks horrified at the situation. “God, Ashton baby I’m so sorry. I lost my head for a Moment, are you ok baby?” Even though, I’m  shell shocked I’m  not about to have him thinking I’m  hurt so I answer him. “Yes, Wasp I’m fine, thank you for asking.” He gives me a strange look and I just can’t take the rejection I feel coming. I excuse myself from the girls and I go to the restroom. I can feel Wasp’s eyes trained on me as I leave the room. I just can’t do this right now, not with everything that happened with Justin. Then getting Wasp back in my life, to my girls being kidnapped. Getting them back one at a time not knowing where they were. How much more was I supposed to endure? I finally make it to the restroom and close the door behind me. I know that the tears are going to come so I try to prevent it.

I would rather be strong and left with my head held high. I had sacrificed before for the man I loved and my babies, I can do it again. I look in the mirror and grab a paper towel and attempt to catch tears before they can take my mascara with them. If I have black streaks running down my face, everyone will know I was crying. I hear a noise behind me and lift my face and look in the mirror behind me. The tension I had in my shoulders from the act I was fixing to put on relaxed. “You do know this isn’t the men’s room right? Amway’s I will be done in a minute so you can go back and join the others. Just give me three minutes and I will let you have it all to yourself.” I go to wet the paper towel and all of a sudden he puts something over my nose and mouth and my instinct to fight kicks in.

I started to fight and claw and kick, it was no use he was so strong! Why is he doing this? He is part of this club, everyone trust him. The more I fight the harder I breathe, the more I breathe in. I feel everything getting hazy until eventually the fight leaves me and everything goes black.

*********Cassidy**********

“Wasp! Calm down you have to listen to me! You’re going to hate me, but I can’t worry about that right now. I’m sorry that your wife is upset, but this will save all of your lives and you all need to hear it. Since you’re all right here, please let me say it once so I can get out and try and save my life!” All of a sudden his face changed from curiosity to one of irritation. I wonder if I’m bothering him, well to fucking bad! I drove all this way to save him and his fucking family he is going to listen to me! “Fine Cassidy, tell me what the hell you have to say, but I have a feeling once you're done we will not be finished with this conversation. As far as my family, you don’t mess with them. If this is some kind of act to get me back and you just upset my wife and my daughters you will pay!” Wasp screamed at me.

Fuck him, I never wanted his biker ass in the first place! And now he's accusing me of wanting to fuck up his family. He can go straight to hell once I tell him. I came out of courtesy he always helped me, and treated me well. Also, because I know his Mom and her friend are not on a damn road trip but are fixing to be used against him somehow. I just haven’t figured out how yet. Honestly, I’m not sticking around long enough to figure it out either. “Wasp, do you want to know who has been fucking with your life or not. My twin was murdered because of all of this bullshit! All because Twenty-one years ago she and Justin were in love with each other! I did what they said to try and save her life and that of your family so when my sister came home hopefully I had figured out how to tell you and get your help. Unfortunately, my house was bugged as well as my phone and we never really went anywhere. I couldn’t tell you without people being murdered! Doesn’t matter now, I got my sisters head delivered to me the day after you left. When you left for your family, I got a note that said, and I quote “Since you didn’t deliver we will deliver part of your sister to you.” Then a call telling me I was next, no lose strings allowed.”

“Now, can we please sit down I feel like I’m about to collapse. I have a lot to tell you?” He looks pale, he sits, but it looks more like he drops into his chair. I look around the room as everyone sits and is staring at me waiting for more. I clear my throat and look around and I see the spitting image of Wasp times two in female form. They both look at me and I let out a little gasp, they are beautiful and have Wasp’s eyes. He clears his throat and I look at him. “I would know they were yours immediately just passing them on the street. They are beautiful women, congratulations on getting your family back. You may not believe it, but I truly am.” The girls both give me small smiles of appreciation. I turn again looking for somewhere to sit and I feel someone behind me so I turn quickly not wanting my guard down, even for a second. I see a man that captivates my attention immediately. He has long black hair that is pulled back into a ponytail at the nape of his neck. His eyes were black as coal. You could tell immediately that he had Indian heritage. He was tall and beautiful. Muscles’ in his legs and arms that looked like they were barely being contained beneath their clothing. And oh my god! You can see the outline of his cock, and he isn’t hard and he’s huge! I can’t help it I trace the outline of his cock and I hear him clear his throat. Hot damn, this is not embarrassing at all. Just look him in the eyes, Cassidy, hold your head high. I travel my eyes up taking his cut where his name is sewn in reads “Smoke.” He is holding a folding chair for me so I look him in the eyes and say “Thank you very much.” I give him a tight smile and sit and look at Wasp to go on with my story.

“Wasp, I can only tell you what I know about your family. When I met Justin, he was young just like my sister and I were. He was a year older than us and full of life and fire. He loved his Momma, he tolerated his dad, but I know he worshiped the ground you walked on. While you were in the Marines fighting for our country, Justin was here cleaning up after the messes his father was creating for your family. His dad was gambling the family money away, was verbally abusive to your Mom and him. We were becoming concerned about him, he was losing weight and you could tell he wasn’t sleeping. When he would come to see Trinity, he would just drop on the couch and barely have any energy to move. My sister would feed him worried that he wasn’t eating since he was working to pay all the bills plus your father's gambling debts. Then one day his dad up and disappeared. Your Mom called him and begged him to come home there were some mean guys there giving her a hard time and she needed him home.” I sighed and looked at Wasp to make sure he was with me. He held up his hand giving me the stop sign wanting me to give him a minute. I watched as his daughters got up from who I assume are their boyfriends and went to sit with their dad. When they had settled next to him, one on each side of Wasp. Their men came over and sat next to them. Of course, they had to sit on the arms of the couch, there was no room left for them. Wasp sighed loudly and squeezed each of his daughter’s hands and then kissed each one of them on the head. He then turned the attention back to me and nodded his head for me to continue. So I did. “We didn’t see him for a few days and Trinity was getting concerned, but one day the middle of the week he showed up. He had been beaten all to hell, almost look like his skin color was blues and purple naturally. There was no peach color left to see of his natural skin tone. We asked where his Mom was and he told us he sent her away with a friend for a few days while he tried to work it out to get his dad back. We tried to get him to tell us how and if he needed help but he looked at Trinity with a sad smile and just kissed her softly on the lips. All he said was that he had to make a deal with the devil to save his Mom. That his dad was never gonna come home, but his Mom’s life depended on if he did everything they ever asked him to do.”

I looked at Wasp and signaled at one of the bottles of water at the bar. He shook his head yes, as I was getting up to get one there was one suddenly in my face. It was Smoke again since my throat was dry from talking I just smiled at him. I sat back down and took a big gulp of water and just kept drinking until I was halfway through the bottle. There wasn’t a table anywhere near me so I crossed my right leg over the left one and sat the bottle in the middle. That feels good, it's kinda warm in here.

“Anyway, as I was saying. When he said a deal with the devil, I wish we had asked more questions. Maybe we would have been smart and stayed away from him instead of getting noticed. Apparently we drew attention since we were like the three musketeers and did everything together. Then about six months later you were home, met Ashton and got married. Two years later Justin broke things off with Trinity, telling her he had no choice. That he would always love her but he had to keep his Momma alive and his brother’s secrets safe and buried where they belonged. My sister cried for months. She was deeply depressed to the point that she had a miscarriage, not knowing that she had been pregnant. What made it worse was when a letter came from Justin telling her that he made sure that he couldn’t ever have children because the thought of anyone else carrying a child for him made him sick. My sister spent the next ten years on a one woman mission to free Justin from whatever trouble he had found himself in. We, of course, had read in the paper what Justin had done to you and we were genuinely confused. He worshiped you, why would he do it? She needed those answers, so she kept digging.

 I tried to get her to move on, she wouldn’t do it until she had him safe and back in her arms. She was desperate to get you your family back and get Justin out of trouble but keeping your Mom alive in the process. Next thing I know, my sister comes to me about two years before I came to you. I will get to that part in a minute so you can get that look off your face, please. I never wanted to hurt anyone!” All of a sudden I feel a sharp pain in my wrist and realize I had dug my fingernails in them so deep they are bleeding. Guess I know what the strange look is about. I look up and Wasp and Smoke are standing above me with paper towels and bandage wraps. I forget what a caretaker Wasp can be, but I’m guessing the men of Rage Ryderz must all be with the way Smoke is looking at me.

I’m beginning to feel sleepy and losing energy. I guess the adrenaline I had to come here is wearing off. I go to look in my bag for an energy bar or candy. Something to give me a little boost. I find a granola bar this will have to do. I set my purse down next to me and open it and take a small bite. I hold up my index finger indicating to give me a minute. Wasp knows that if I don’t have something in me I go downhill fast. He gives me a head nod I acknowledgment and I finish the bar off. I put the wrapper in my purse not wanting to make a mess and then apply some germ-x on my hands to clean them up. I can’t stand any type of stickiness on my hands. I clear my throat and Smoke hands me a bottle of water to wash it down. Hush, I hadn’t realized my drink was empty. Glad he was paying attention or I would have looked the fool trying to drink something empty. I smiled at him and took a drink. Then I was ready to finish my story.
