Chapter 3
Casey POV
My mood was totally shot, especially when I saw Noah, this guy I didn't even know, looking at my phone and laughing at me. I snatched my phone back, hard. All the fear I had a second ago just poof, vanished.
"That's none of your business!" I yelled.
"Don't lie to yourself. Your eyes can't hide it. You're definitely hurting, right?"
"What do you want from me? Why are you suddenly here, acting like you know me? I don't know who you are. Just stop bothering me!"
I must've been nuts. This was the first time I'd ever talked that boldly. The pain from Anthony's cheating was just gnawing at me. I couldn't think straight right now.
"Look at you." Noah stayed chill, still smiling at me. "They're watching you yell like a maniac."
"I don't give a shit!"
I couldn't hold it in. Tears just poured down my face like a waterfall. My chest felt tight. How could Anthony do this to me? Three years of our relationship, just meant nothing.
"You wanna forget all this?" Noah spoke up again.
"Just leave me alone."
"Really?" Noah gestured to some students walking by, staring at me looking like a hot mess.
Suddenly, I felt so embarrassed. They were watching me cry. Noah went back to his bike, getting ready to peace out from campus.
"I'll go if you really want me to."
What now? I couldn't go home looking like this, totally wrecked, but I couldn't get a grip on my emotions. I was seriously heartbroken. I didn't want Mom to see me like this. She already felt guilty for making me do the long-distance thing. If she found out Anthony cheated with Nathalie, she'd totally blame herself. Mom's already a wreck from her divorce. I didn't wanna make things worse.
"Hold on!"
I rushed over to Noah, then hopped on his bike.
"Woo, the swan's not scared of the wolf anymore."
"Just take me away. Hurry up."
Noah grinned. Without a second thought, he peeled out, taking me away from campus. He started slow but picked up speed. I'm usually a total chicken, but right now, the pain in my heart was bigger than anything. Tears kept streaming down my cheeks. All those sweet memories with Anthony kept replaying in my head.
I didn't even realize how far Noah took me. We ended up on a road right on the edge of a forest. Noah stopped his bike there, on the side of the road. It was midday, but the vibe here was like dusk. Sunlight barely filtered through the trees. The road was so empty, not crowded like back in the city.
Noah got off his bike, leaving me sitting there.
"Why did we stop here?" I was so confused.
"Why are you crying?"
I didn't wanna answer. Should I even tell him after he saw what happened to me?
"Your boyfriend cheated? Why are you acting like you're the most oppressed person in the world? You could just get him back, same way. Or even worse than what he did to you."
"Don't butt in."
"Then why are you with me right now?"
I sighed. Nothing to say because I'd done all this on impulse. I was confused why I was here, but I couldn't go home just yet.
"Wanna make your sadness go away?" Noah offered something in his voice.
"Don't you dare try to lead me astray."
Noah burst out laughing, totally mocking me.
"Alright, whatever you want. Fine, I won't butt in. I gotta go. Figure out how to get home yourself."
"You're gonna leave me here?"
"You're the one who told me not to bother you, right?"
"This is a forest!"
"Everyone in this town knows that. And no one has a problem with it."
"You're seriously such a jerk!"
I didn't wanna move. If Noah left me here, I'd be stuck. I didn't know my way home yet.
"So, you coming with me?"
I didn't answer, and Noah took that as a ‘yes.’ Honestly, I was just a bundle of nerves. He hopped back on his bike, drove it towards a busier area, but then we turned into a neighborhood with small streets. I barely saw any trash lying around here. Wow, this place was stunning. Now, I know why Mom picked this spot.
We pulled up to a building that looked like a diner, and out front, there were tons of bikes lined up. I remembered that forest bike with the rose and skull on the tank when it zoomed past my house.
"What is this place?" I asked when we finally stopped.
"You'll see," Noah replied.
I got off the bike. Noah just walked into the diner. I mean, I knew he would, but it was super quiet around here. I followed Noah inside. There was that rose and skull symbol again. Then I saw "Black Hell" written above the door. It hit me instantly: this was a biker gang's clubhouse.
My body just froze when I walked in. This place was more like a bar, packed with people who looked exactly like a biker gang. Some were chugging alcohol. Others were chatting super excitedly. I even saw a couple, like, totally making out, all hot and bothered.
"Noah!"
A guy with an exotic complexion yelled out. He walked over to us. He was tall and built. He wore a leather vest, and there was a skull tattoo on his temple. He was so intimidating.
"You brought something cute here," the guy said, looking at me with a flirty smile. I immediately felt a wave of fear. I hid behind Noah. Noah glanced back at me.
"What are you doing?"
"Why did you bring me here?"
"You wanted me to take you to a hotel?"
"Noah, this pretty girl's scared. Don't be so harsh on her." The guy smiled at me, but it was still kinda creepy. "Lady, let me introduce myself. I'm James Howard. Glad you could make it into this place."
I didn't know how to respond. This place was totally foreign to me.
"What the hell is it?"
A woman with short black hair walked over to us. She stared at me intensely. Her expression was sharp, and there wasn't a hint of a smile on her lips.
"Why did you bring a stranger here, Noah? I don't want any trouble. Fallen Bike will think we're breaking the agreement!" the woman snapped.
"She's my classmate. Let her hang out here for a bit. I'll send her home later," Noah said, just walking deeper inside. He left me with these two creatures.
My heart was pounding with fear. Why did I have to be here? I was seriously terrified. I tried to smile at them.
"Sherly, she's kinda cute," James said, looking at me and grinning.
"Shut your fucking mouth. I don't want any problems." The woman, Sherly, spun around. "Come here, girl. Don't stand in the doorway. If anyone finds out you came into a den of bastards, we're gonna have problems."
Chapter 4
Noah POV
I walked up to the bar. Spike, the bartender, smiled at me, but his eyes were on her. The girl who’d been scared of me since she first saw me. I glanced back. Sherly was leading her into a quieter area.
"Why'd you bring a puppy to a place like this, Noah? We can't involve outsiders with Black Hell."
"She won't have anything to do with Black Hell. I'm just messing around a bit," I replied. "Give me a beer."
"You're riding, Noah!" Spike warned.
I scoffed. So what if I was riding? I can handle my shit, no matter what.
"How long's it been since you went home, Noah?"
"Just shut up, Spike. Don't tell me what to do."
Spike sighed. I knew he was worried, but I could take care of myself.
"Don't let your dad touch Black Hell, Noah. Don't put our gang in danger."
I looked at Spike, seeing his worry. This conversation pissed me off. I didn't like him talking about my dad. So I just walked deeper into the bar. Black Hell's got a bar business, but really, this place is our headquarters.
I'd been living here for months, and I'd known Black Hell since high school. And of course, my dad didn't want me getting involved with any motorcycle gangs, but everyone's got a life to live, and I chose to live mine with Black Hell.
The girl sat stiffly on the couch, her eyes on me. Her gaze screamed that she couldn't stand being here. That look just made me want her to suffer this torture a little longer.
I went to my room. My room, the wildest place I had. Sherly followed me in. She hugged me, then kissed me passionately. Her big chest grabbed my attention. I touched it, adding a little pressure. Shirley moaned. I pulled her to the bed. She sat there while I stayed standing. She expertly pulled down my pants. Shirley knew exactly what to do to get me off. Her mouth worked wonders. My hand held her tied-up hair.
I groaned. Sherly’s blow job felt insane.
"Oh, fuck!"
It only took a few seconds for me to cum in Shirley’s mouth. I quickly fixed my pants. Shirley looked at me, cum smeared around her mouth. She smiled while I sat beside her.
"What's up with that girl? She doesn't seem like the type you'd bring here, Noah."
I was quiet for a moment. I didn't even understand why I brought her. At the time, I was cruising with the Black Hell members, and my eyes caught her going into that house that had always been empty. Her gaze seemed to invite me to stay.
"I just don't like the way she looks at me... like I'm dirt."
"Don't joke, Noah. She doesn't know anything about Black Hell. Let her live her life."
I sprawled out on the bed. I'd never been like this before.
"Don't tell me you're interested in her."
I smirked. "Just shut your mouth."
Sherly lay down. She tried to get on top of me, but I rolled to the left. I felt uneasy.
"My dad wants me to come for dinner. I have a little plan."
Sherly narrowed her eyes. "Plan? Are you going to take that girl with you?"
"That's the plan… perhaps.”
"Why not take me?"
"Are you kidding me? My dad would kick us out. I need to bring a normal woman home."
Shirley laughed at me. "A normal woman."
We stared at the ceiling. Yeah, it was complicated. My dad wasn't just anyone. I didn't want to be part of his world. I didn't want any involvement with him, but still, I was his son. I just tried to show him some respect.
***
Casey POV
I saw a stack of newspapers next to where I was sitting. After dropping me off here, the woman named Sherly followed Noah into a room. Were they dating? But Sherly looks older than Noah. I picked up a newspaper. I looked at what was written there. Fear and boredom were taking over, so I had to find a way to chase them off.
"Peter Adam?" I mumbled.
I was reading an article about the Mayor of Woods Town. The name sounded familiar. Right as I was reading it, Noah came out of the room. He looked at me. His steps suddenly quickened towards me. He snatched the newspaper I was reading. It hit me then, the guy in the newspaper looked just like Noah.
"You're the mayor's son?"
"None of your business."
Noah sat beside me. He lit a cigarette. I didn't understand why I was here. But it was true, I'd almost forgotten about Anthony, replaced by fear and curiosity.
"What are we going to do?" I asked. "I mean. You said you'd help me with my problem."
"Your problem? You're just heartbroken. Not a serious issue. You just need to get revenge."
"How?"
Noah took a drag from his cigarette. He was handsome, but the vibe he gave off made me scared.
"Send him the same kind of video he made with that other woman."
"I have to hook up with a stranger just to get revenge?" This was a crazy idea. "No way."
"Then just deal with it and accept the fact that you're not more interesting than your boyfriend's side chick."
What the hell was that?! I wanted to get even, but I didn't want to do something insane. I grew even more agitated. My phone rang again. I looked at the screen. My mom was calling me. This was bad. She couldn't know I was with Noah, or she'd kill me.
"Can I go into your room?" I blurted out.
Noah didn't answer, but I had to answer my mom's call immediately. I rushed to that room. Sherly had just come out. I saw white, liquid-like stains on her clothes. I frowned in confusion. I let her go while I picked up the phone.
"Hey, Mom. What's up?"
"Honey, I can't come home on time. I have some things to take care of. If you want something to eat, just heat it up in the microwave. Get home soon and lock the door, okay?"
I sighed. My mom wasn't home, apparently.
"Okay, Mom. Don't worry. I'll do that."
"Where are you right now?"
"Me?" I was startled. Why was she asking? Did she know I was doing something wrong?
"Oh, I'm at campus. I'll be home soon, Mom."
"Okay, Honey. Enjoy your classes. Love you."
"Love you, Mom."
I hung up, sighing in relief that nothing bad happened. When I turned around, Noah was already beside me. He pulled my hand to the bed. Immediately, he threw me down. I was shocked. He pinned me. His eyes stared at me. This was too close. I couldn't think of anything except Noah right in front of me.
"Let's do it," Noah said.
"W-what? What are we going to do? Don't joke around."
"I'm not joking."
Noah touched my cheek. I shivered. His hand felt warm. I struggled, but it was useless.
"What are you doing, Noah?!"
Chapter 5
Casey POV
Noah's stare just froze me. I'd never been with a guy besides Anthony, and I'm so old-school. Like, I'd make out with Anthony, but I'd always make sure I stayed a virgin.
"Your face is all red, Swan. Has your boyfriend never treated you like this?"
"Stop messing with me! What do you even want?!"
"You wanna get revenge, right?"
"I never said I would."
"So, you're just gonna let your boyfriend have a blast while you're miserable?"
Noah's hand suddenly slid under my shirt. He rubbed my stomach. I gasped, totally on instinct. I had no idea why I was reacting like that.
Noah grinned, looking all smug as he watched me.
"You feel it."
"Shut up. You bastard."
"Indeed, but don't deny you're kinda turned on by my touch."
"Let me go. I'm leaving."
"Nah, nah. You already decided to come with me. You can't just bail before finishing things with me."
"What do you mean? I didn't make any deal with you. I came with you because…"
"Because you were too embarrassed to look pathetic in front of all the college kids, right? I know you were using me. So now it's my turn to use you."
"What?"
Noah pulled out his phone. Then he took a picture of us.
"What are you doing?"
"This is a weapon."
"Huh?"
Noah looked at me, smiling. His clear eyes were kind of captivating, but I tried not to get sucked into the situation. No luck, though. Noah's hand was still on my stomach, starting to move up to my chest.
"Don't touch me!"
Noah's lips got close to mine. My body instantly shivered. He recorded us, then he kissed me, moving his lips a little wildly. Just a few seconds, then he let go. He also pulled his hand away from me and got up.
Noah flopped down next to me, staring at his phone, or rather, watching the video.
"You're so hot, Swan. I like it."
"My name is Casey. And don't harass me like that again!"
"Casey? Oh... I'm not harassing you. I'm helping you. I can send you this video if you want. That way you can get back at your boyfriend."
"I don't need that video. I should go!"
I quickly bolted out of the room, but as I stepped out, James showed up. He looked so rushed.
"Go, Noah. The cops are here. Looks like it's your dad's orders!"
Noah got up. He pocketed his phone. Then he grabbed his jacket.
"How many are here?" Noah asked as he walked out.
"There are two police cars. Sherly's distracting them right now. You should go, Noah. Don't let them see you here or we're screwed."
I had no clue what was happening or why Noah's dad would call the cops, but they definitely looked tense. That meant things were not good.
James and Noah looked at me. It made me confused and totally freaked out.
"She can't be seen here either, Noah," James said.
Noah rubbed his face. He was panicking. I started to get scared about the whole situation. His hand instantly grabbed mine.
"I'm taking her with me," Noah said.
Noah pulled me out and led me into a dark corridor. This wasn't the area we came through earlier, this was a back way.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
Noah didn't answer. His steps were quick. I heard a loud noise from the bar area. Some stuff fell.
"Don't look back!" Noah warned me.
We got out through the back door. This area was totally quiet. Noah sneaked past the side of the building. I saw his bike, which was parked out front earlier, but now it was on the side of the building.
"Stay here."
Noah immediately got on his bike. He waved quickly, signaling that I needed to get on right away. So I did. Noah started the engine. We peeled out of there. As we passed the front of the building, I saw two cop cars out front and a few people in police uniforms seemed to be searching the place.
I was terrified. Cops? I'd never been in trouble with them my entire life. What had Noah done? Why were the police looking for him?
Noah was riding the bike so fast. It freaked me out. I didn't dare open my eyes wide. When we rounded a corner, Noah's hand grabbed mine and made me hug him.
"You're gonna fly off if you don't hold onto me."
I couldn't argue. I was seriously terrified. I hugged Noah tight, letting him take me wherever.
After a bit, the bike finally stopped. I dared to open my eyes. I saw a super luxurious house. The yard was huge, and there were some bodyguards guarding the place.
"Get off," Noah ordered me.
I immediately got off Noah's bike. What was wrong with me today? After years of living a boring life, today was just completely random. Suddenly I was in a biker gang hideout, then running from the police, and now I was at a fancy house.
Noah got off his bike too. Then he grabbed my hand. I was surprised why he kept holding my hand.
"Let's go inside."
When Noah was about to walk, I pulled him back.
"Wait, wait, wait. Why are we here? And whose house is this?"
"My dad."
"What? Are you crazy? Why are we going to your dad's house?"
Noah just smiled. He wouldn't explain anything to me, then still led me into this luxurious house. I was amazed by this place. Where I used to live, I never imagined I'd get to step into a house this fancy.
"Noah, I just wanna go home."
"You're not going anywhere. I'll help you by giving you that video, but you also have to do what I ask."
"I didn't say I'd agree to anything."
"We're already here. You don't have a choice."
"Hey, hey, Noah!"
As we walked in, a woman, looking super hot and elegant, came up to us. She smiled at Noah.
"I'm glad you're back. You must be here for dinner with your dad, Noah," the woman greeted him.
"Don't get in my way, Bitch."
I was shocked by Noah's attitude. Why was he so rude to that beautiful woman?
"Where's my dad? I need to see him."
"He's busy. Some biker gangs are causing trouble in this town. He's doing some things to sort them out."
Noah's jaw tightened. He did not like what that woman said. Instantly, Noah let go of my hand, went up to the woman, and grabbed her arm roughly.
"Tell my dad I wanna see him right now or he's gonna regret it."
"Why are you so mad when I mention biker gangs? Are you involved with them or... "
"Hey, Mistress! I'll rip your mouth off if you get involved. This is my business with my dad. I wanna see him now or I'll... "
"Noah!"
From the direction of the door, a man's voice echoed, loud and firm. I turned. He was the guy from the newspaper article. That meant he was Peter Adam, Noah's dad. He was the mayor of Wood Town. Oh, my god.
Mayor Adam walked with confident strides. His vibe gave me chills. Now I got why I was so scared of Noah, his dad gave off the same vibe.
SLAP!
Suddenly, he slapped Noah. I was shocked. The sexy woman was too.
"You've embarrassed me! Why are you still hanging out with those thugs! You know I have to protect this town, but you're getting involved with them instead!"
