Chapter 1: The Escape
The rain was freezing cold and my feet were bleeding.
I was running down the empty highway in a torn dress. My phone was dead. My ex had taken everything. I had nowhere to go.
Then I heard them.
VROOOM.
Four motorcycles. Four huge men in black leather, covered in tattoos. They stopped around me in a circle, blocking the rain.
I was terrified. I thought they would hurt me too.
But the biggest one got off his bike. He had dark eyes and a scar on his face. He looked at my bruised lip and torn dress and his face turned to pure rage.
"Who did this to you, little one?" he growled.
I couldn't answer. I was shaking too much.
Without asking, he took off his heavy leather jacket and wrapped it around my shoulders. It was warm and smelled like him. Like safety.
"You're coming with us," he said in a voice that left no room to argue. "My brothers and I will take care of you now."
The other three were staring at me. One with blue eyes smiled darkly. One was already looking at me like I was his. The last one cracked his knuckles and said, "If he comes after her, he's dead."
They put me on the back of the big one's bike.
And as we rode away into the night, with my arms wrapped tight around a stranger who felt safer than anyone I ever knew, I knew my life had just changed forever.
I was now property of four bikers. And they were never going to let me go.
