CHAPTER 1

I had just layed down to take a nap when my cell phone started to ring. I flipped it open and answered it.

"Hello?"

"Hey, chica. It's Melinda. How's our new place doing?"

"Good. I got everything put away and cleaned everything. Where you at?"

"I just went to get some groceries. I'll be back when I'm done. I went past this bar and I think we should go there for our first night out."

"Sounds good to me."

"Alright, well I'll see you when I get back," Melinda said before she hung up.

Melinda was my best friend. She and I decided to move away and get our own place. We did not really know much about the town before we moved there, but we were hoping that we would like it once we got settled in.

LATER THAT NIGHT…

Melinda and I were on our way to the bar. She pulled into the parking lot and there were not many cars in the parking lot. We got out beside an old Ford Mustang that was black with red markings on it. There was another car parked beside it with the same designs, but it was red with black markings. We got out and started to walk towards the bar. I looked at the name of the bar, Four Roses.

"Hopefully, there are some cute guys in here," Melinda said before she opened the door.

We walked inside and over to the counter. Melinda ordered us a couple of beers as I looked around. Towards the back of the bar, I saw a booth filled with about nine guys. The bartender handed us our beers and we sat down an empty booth.

"So, what about those guys back there?" Melinda asked as she took a swig of her beer.

"I don't know. We just got in here," I said as I glanced at the men.

There were nine men sitting at the table. Most of them had shaven heads. They all had tattoos that looked the same. It seemed like there was a leader to the group. He was tall and built. He had tattoos on his arms and around his neck. He was very cute but looked very mean. He looked over at me and then I looked away.

"Oh my god," I said as I looked down.

"What?" Melinda asked as she looked at me.

"I just made eye contact with one of them," I said as I glanced back over.

The guys glanced over at Melinda and I, then the one that I made eye contact stood up and made his way over to our table.

"Here he comes," I whispered to Melinda as I stared at her.

"Excuse me, do I know you two ladies?" the man asked in a stern tone.

"No, we're new. We just moved here," Melinda said as she looked at the man.

"I thought so. Never seen ya around here. My name is Billy Darley," Billy said as he offered his hand out for us to shake.

"My name is Melinda," Melinda said as she shook Billy's hand.

Billy looked at me and offered his hand. I shook his hand.

"And you are?" Billy asked as he shook my hand.

"Lacy," I said as I looked into his blue eyes.

"Well, it's nice to meet ya. Me and my guys over there were wondering if you two ladies would care to have some drinks with us?"

"Sure," Melinda said as she looked at me and smiled.

We both got up and made our way over to the table.

"Guys, this is Melinda and Lacy. They just moved here, so don't be assholes. Girls, this is my brother Joe, that's Bodie, Heco, Baggy, Jamie, Tommy, Spink, and Dog," Billy said as he sat back down in the booth.

"Hey," Joe said as he stood up so that Melinda could sit down.

I could already tell that Joe and Melinda both liked each other. Melinda and I both sat down in the booth and Billy got all of us another round. We were there with them for a couple of hours. We were have a great time, laughing and drinking. The bar was about to close and we decided to leave. Melinda and I were walking out to the car when Joe and Billy came behind us. We both turned around.

"Yes?" Melinda asked and then laughed.

"You sure you two are able to drive?" Billy asked as he looked at us.

"She's driving. I'm too hammered," Melinda said as she leaned back against the car.

"Alright, well, be safe," Billy said as he smiled at me.

"We will. Oh, hey, what's your number?" Melinda asked as she got her cell phone out of her purse.

"555-2476," Billy said before he and Joe went to the car.

Melinda and I got into the car and buckled up. We watched as the men piled into the cars and then sped off.

"Well, that was fun," Melinda said as she looked at me.

"Yeah, it was," I said as I smiled.

I finally met a guy that I really liked.

"You got the hots for Billy-boy?" Melinda asked as I pulled out of the parking lot.

"Maybe," I said with a smile as I drove down the street.

"It's about damn time!" Melinda said with a smile as she looked at me.

We laughed as I continued to drive home.

The next morning, I woke up from the sunlight coming in through the window. I sat up and rubbed my eyes. I looked over at my clock and it read 10:00AM. I moaned and pulled the covers off of me. I stood up and walked over to the window. Melinda came walking into the room.

"Hey girl, how you feeling?" Melinda asked as she handed me a cup of coffee.

"Not too bad. Thanks," I said as I took the cup.

"I was thinking that we should hang out with Billy and Joe again tonight. What do ya say?"

"Sure," I said as I took a sip of coffee.

AT FOUR ROSES…

The guys were sitting in the same booth as the night before when Melinda and I walked in. We walked back to where the guys were. Billy looked at me and smiled.

"Hey," Billy said as he looked over at me.

"Hey, how are you?" I asked as I sat beside Billy.

"Not too bad," Billy said as he handed me a beer.

I took a sip of beer and looked over at Billy. He was looking at me with a little smirk on his face.

"What? Did I spill something?" I asked as I looked down at my top.

"Nah, just looking at you," Billy said before he took another swig of his beer.

"What are you ladies doing later?" Joe asked as he looked at Melinda and then over at me.

"Nothing. Why? What you got planned?" Melinda asked as she smiled at Joe.

"You ladies want to come to our apartment?" Joe asked as he wrapped his arm around Melinda's shoulders.

Melinda looked over at me and I nodded.

We had a few more beers and decided to go ahead and get going. We got into our cars and Melinda and I followed Billy and Joe to the apartment. We got out of the car. Joe came over and wrapped his arm around Mel's shoulders as they walked towards the entrance to the apartment. Billy and I walked together as we went inside. We walked up the steps and down the hallway. Billy took his keys and opened the door. Mel and Joe walked in and I stood there.

"After you," Billy said as he stood there waiting for me to walk in.

I smiled and then walked into the apartment. It wasn't the best looking place, but it was decent. I watched as Melinda went with Joe into his room. Billy took my hand and led me back to his bedroom. He shut the door behind him. I kicked off my shoes and layed down on Billy's bed. He unlaced his boots and took them off, then layed down beside me.

"So, how long have you and Joe been living here?" I asked as I looked over at Billy.

"Ever since I turned 18 and could live on my own. My dad and I never really got along," Billy said as he shook his head.

"What about your mom?"

"My mom left my dad when I was young. She couldn't fucking take his shit anymore. I don't blame her. He was always throwing things at her and he never appreciated what she did for him. What about you?"

"My parents actually died a couple years ago," I said as I looked away from Billy. "They died in a car accident."

"Oh, shit. I'm sorry."

"It's alright. It's tough, but I'm dealing with it. So, why is your dad no good?" I asked as I looked back over at Billy.

"He just always fucking puts me down. I can never do a fucking thing right with him. He's always saying that I'm worthless and I'm never going to go anywhere in life. I try to deal with it, but sometimes it's hard and I beat myself up over it."

"Well, parents can be that way. So, it's just you and Joe here then?" I asked as I tried to change the subject.

"Yeah, unless he has a chick here, but it's just usually me and him."

"What about you? You got a girl?" I asked with a smile.

"Nah, I'm alone for now. Why? You interested?" Billy asked with a smirk.

"Maybe," I said as I blushed a little.

Billy smiled and then got closer to me. He gently rubbed his fingers along my face. He leaned in and our lips touched. He pulled back for a second and then kissed me again. I slowly rolled onto my back as he got on top of me. I wrapped my arms around him as we continued to kiss. He broke the kiss and trailed a line off kisses from my lips down my jawline. He reached my neck and started to kiss it. He nibbled on it a little bit. Just as we were starting to get into it, Billy's cell phone started to ring.

"Shit, hold on," Billy said in a frustrated tone as he got out of the bed.

He flipped open is cell phone.

"What?"

"Billy, it's Heco. Man, I can't sell that shit tonight, so you're going to have to cover for me, alright?"

"What the fuck, Heco? Whatever, man. Fuck you," Billy said before he hung up the phone.

I sat up in the bed as Billy sat down and started to put his boots on.

"I'm sorry to cut this short, but I have to go. I'll be back," Billy said as he laced up his boots.

"Alright," I said with a frown.

Billy stood up and put his leather trench coat on and gave me a quick kiss before he headed out the door. I got up and walked out in the living room and sat down on the couch. I flicked the T.V. on and flipped through some channels. I layed my head down on the one end of the couch and dozed off.

Billy came back a couple hours later. He opened the door and saw me laying there on the couch. He quietly closed the door behind him and locked it. He took his coat off and draped it over the kitchen chair. He came over and kneeled down beside me. He smiled and moved a loose piece of hair out of my face. He carefully picked me up and carried me to his bedroom. He layed me down in his bed and then layed down beside me. Slowly, he wrapped his strong arms around me and fell asleep with me in his arms.
