trying to devour the other. Luke makes love like no man she has experienced
before. He has the same raw passion and desire that Dillon has, but it’s not
buried beneath a thick layer of violence. Luke is aggressive and takes control,
but he makes Kayla feel like she is the one in control and everything he does
is exactly everything she wants. He’s not taking, he’s giving, and that makes
all the difference in the world.
    Without
separating, they move from the couch to the floor; then to the wall in the
hallway, and finally to his bed. He’s on top; she’s on top; they’re side by
side; this way and that; sweating, moaning and crying out in ecstasy; giving,
taking, and finally, collapsing in one another’s arms, spent and satisfied in a
way neither had experienced before. Lying nose to nose, mouth to mouth,
drinking in one another’s breath, it occurs to Kayla that she has broken her
promise to be done with bikers. Now she’s back in bed with a biker. But not
just a biker…a soldier and that, she tells herself, makes every difference.
Tired of the constant conversation between her ears, she finally drifts off to
sleep.
    Luke is confused.
How can he be getting involved with a doctor…well, Physician's Assistant? She
can never be a part of his world and he’ll never fit into hers. He’s not an
educated man. Well, not in the same way she is. He’s a soldier and a damn good
one. He can kill a man a mile away with a sniper rifle or just as easily up
close and personal with a blade and he can do it without remorse.
    The army
reinforced his skills every day of his life while he was training for years
before his three tours in Afghanistan. They taught him to kill and to eat lunch
afterwards; no qualms, no regrets. He loved the brotherhood he shared with his
fellow soldiers in Afghanistan and he missed it terribly until he became a
Suicide King. Well, a Suicide King the second time around.
    He was the only
brother in the Kings that wasn’t initially jumped in. His father was president
and he just grew up a King. After coming back from the war, he insisted he be
jumped in and he’s glad he did. That move earned him the trust of even the most
ruthless members. The process of joining the Kings varies from man to man and
it’s the last part of a long process, beginning with becoming a hanger on.
    As a hanger on,
you are allowed to hang with the brothers at the club house and go to club
parties. However, you are not allowed to participate in any club meetings. You
are still an outsider. After you prove yourself as a hanger on, you can become
a prospect if a brother vouches for you in good standing and mentors you. That
is the longest period and can take years. A prospect has all the rights a
hanger on has, including being part of the club meetings and the planning of illicit
activities. Prospects have the trust of the club.
    In the end, before
you are patched in, you have one final assignment. For some, it means a three-minute
beating at the hands of four brothers and the result is usually a hospital stay
and a Suicide King’s patch. Other prospects may be required to do one final
task to prove their loyalty to the club. That final task is decided on by the
President, Vice President, Secretary, and the Sergeant at Arms. Luke’s final
task had been a particularly gruesome one. It was discovered that one of their
old ladies had been having an affair with a member of the Harbingers and had
been slipping the Harbinger sensitive information about the Kings and their
illicit activities. It was Luke’s job to grab her and get what information she
knew out of her before killing her. It was a task ultimately suited to Luke
alone and played to his strengths.
    Taking her was the
easy part. After Jake learned of his old lady's betrayal, he was eager to set
things right by helping the Kings capture her. Jake set the perfect trap. He
knew when her lover had time off, so he deliberately went on a weapons delivery
out of state to
