Chapter 1
“If you get on that fucking motorcycle, you can forget about coming back to this club.”, Raven’s voice echoed from the distance. You don’t betray Hell’s Fallen MC without a target on your back. Harry climbed his bike and never looked back. His father, Raven, was the President of MC Club and he was a henchman. Nothing more, nothing less. Harry wanted more and he knew if he stayed, he would never have a normal life. Or as normal as a biker could have. Harry knew his father had connections with the other biker factions but also knew that if he left California for good that he could do what he needed for himself. “Fucking A!”, Harry exclaimed as he rode down the interstate. A new beginning was needed, and a new beginning was what waited for him.
“What can I get you handsome?”, the waitress asked. Harry looked at the curvy, raven haired beauty in front of him. “Eggs over easy, bacon and home fries. Get me a coffee, black.”, he said. She smiled and walked away to the counter to place his order. He couldn’t stop staring at her. It didn’t help that her uniform was short and fit her body. The waitress came back and after she put his order on the table, touched her arm. “I have to ask what your name is.”, he said with a devilish smile. “Katarina. But everybody calls me Kat for short.”, she said with a little smile and blush. “That’s a beautiful name. Well, Kat, you wouldn’t mind telling me where the nearest hotel is?”, he asked looking at her intently. “Just a few blocks away. Turn right on Pine St. and you can’t miss it.”, she said as she sauntered away. He knew he was in trouble. After Harry ate, he left a generous tip and his phone number and left.
Crimson Hotel was what you would expect from an old town. Cheap. Harry places his bags down and sighs. This hell hole will have to do until he joins his uncle’s MC Club. Raven and his brother, Lucifer, hated each other. They love Harry in a twisted way and would do anything for him. Now that Harry betrayed his father, he knew joining lucifer would make his old man crazy. He picks up his cell phones and calls Lucifer. “Lucifer, I’m in Rochester. I will see you in an hour. Need to get ready.”, he says while unpacking. “Harry, my boy. Bring your vest. We have some changes to make. Welcome to Sons of the Fallen.’, Lucifer says. Harry hangs up and gets ready. After getting out of the shower, a knock at the door startles him. He grabs his pistol and asks, “Who’s there?” A familiar voice echoes through the door, “It’s Katarina. Can I come in?” Harry opens the door and Katarina steps in. “I’m sorry to bother you but something was bothering me.” Harry looks at her puzzled and says, “Oh Yeah? What’s that?” She takes the tip he left out of her purse and asks, “Why did you leave me $1,000” He steps closer to her. “I wanted to make sure you were taken care of.” She smiles and walks toward the door. “I take care of myself, Mr.?” He walked closer to her and said, “Harry. But you can call me whatever that pretty mouth of yours sees fit.” She looked into his eyes and then shut the door behind her. Harry leaned against the door frame and shook his head. He wanted her. He wanted her like a drug. Harry got dressed and headed out the door.
Sons of the Fallen had a compound outside of the city limits. His hog made it to the front gates before two men with guns stopped him. The tall one yelled out, “What business you have here boy?” Harry got off the bike and walked up to the man. “Tell Lucifer his nephew is here. Another thing, stick that gun in my face again and I will shove it so far up your ass, you will shit though your mouth.” The man backed way and opened the gate. “Go right on through.”, he said. Harry got back on his bike and rode up a short hill to the on-site bar. He walked in to see his uncle with two women on his lap. “I see things don’t change Lucifer.’, Harry smirked. “HARRY!!!! GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE AND HUG AN OLD MAN.”, Lucifer called out. He got up and bear hugged Harry. “It’s been too long. Come with me to my office. BECCA! Grab this boy a beer.”, he said as a blonde woman handed Harry a beer. They walked into his office and sat down. “I bet your daddy was fuming about this. I would have loved to see you ride away from his club.”, Lucifer chuckled. “He banned me permanently. I left because he is spiraling out of control. Guns and drug runs, I understand. It’s business. But he was talking about trafficking. I don’t fuck with that.”, Harry said with clenched fists. “Well, we don’t do that shit here. Give me that vest. We have patches to change. You’re my new Vice President. The boys are ready for you.”
After a night of drinking, Harry went back to his hotel and crashed. A long drive from California to New York would do that to someone. He woke the next morning to the sun shining too brightly. Hangovers suck. He threw on some clothes and headed out the door to the diner. He needed coffee and food to get him going. Lucifer wanted him at the compound to discuss business. He couldn’t do that without something to wake him up. “The usual?”, a familiar voice chimes. Harry picks up his head and smiles deviously. “You know me already, darlin’”, he says. Kat smiles and walks away to place his order. She bends over the counter purposely so he can take a quick peek. Harry shakes his head and smirks. After his food comes, he scarfs everything down, leaves another generous tip and heads out. Lucifer is waiting for him at the front gate when he gets there. “Let’s get to business kid. We have a lot to do today.”, he says. They walk toward the compound and enter a shed and walk down the stairs to a basement. Women are walking around in their underwear, counting money. In another room, cocaine is being separated and processed for purchase. As they walk on, there is a man in single room with five men standing around him. He is tied to a chair and blindfolded. Harry pulls a gun from behind his back and shoots the guy in his forehead. He never looks away from his Lucifer.
Harry’s adrenaline is pumping. After a kill and a beer, he and his uncle ride into town. “Do you want a beer? I have a six-pack waiting for us upstairs.”, Harry says to Lucifer. “I have to take care of some business with someone but why don’t you get a table at the diner. I shouldn’t be more than 20 minutes.”, Lucifer says. Harry walks over and smiling Kat is outside on her phone. “I hope that smile is because you were thinking of me in my towel.”, harry says. Kat looks up from her phone and her smile grows wider. “I do have a life, Harry. I don’t sit around dreaming about you.”, she says. Harry walks closer to Kat, and she can feel the hairs on her arms tingle. This man is dangerous, and she knows that. “My goal is to make you think of nothing but me. Especially in your bed.”, harry says looking into her eyes. Kat gets out of her daze and walks back into the restaurant. “Do you want your usual table?”, she asks. “Yes, darlin’! I also need two menus. My uncle will be joining me shortly.”, he says. Kat gets the two menus just in time for Lucifer to sit down. Kats eyes beam. “Lucifer, I didn’t know this was your nephew? How are you? I miss seeing your face. I’m sorry to hear about Virginia. I loved her. She took care of me.”, Kat says giving him a hug. “You two know each other?”, Harry asks curiously. “This here young lady used to help Virginia. She was always so kind. Are you bothering her?”, he says staring adoringly at Kat. “Harry has been nothing but nice to me. You don’t have to worry about me.”, she says and winks at Lucifer.
After a good meal and some beers, the men head out. Lucifer tells Harry to meet him in the afternoon and to keep his phone on. He leaves back to the compound for the night. Harry goes upstairs to his room and relaxes for the night. But Kat keeps popping up into his mind. Just then a text appears on his screen from an unknown number. It reads, “Wonder what would have happened if you dropped the towel?” Harry puts the phone down and puts both hands on his face and shakes his head. He answers back, “Come by tomorrow night and find out.” He puts down the phone and gets into bed. Tomorrow more work but another day to see Kat’s beautiful face.
