Hotter Than Hell PART THREE: CHAPTER 103
Before: DaxShe is so beautiful. The inner glow she carries can light up a room. Her rounded tummy is swollen with our child—a boy, according to the ultrasound. We chose the name Mason Dax Montgomery. If, on the slim chance the ultrasound is wrong, her name will be Masey Savannah Montgomery.I took half the day off work to drive my wife, Savannah, to the seven-month obstetrician appointment. We are both excited and basking in the bright rays of pending parenthood. I never dreamed about anything as incredible as Savannah having my baby.We eat cereal for breakfast—Savannah has one bowl covered in bananas and I enjoy two, minus the bananas. Her pregnancy brings about cravings for the yellow fruit, and it has become one of my favorite ways to tease her.“I have a really big banana for you,” I tell her with the best leer I can manage. She blushes and we both laugh at the joke I’ve said over and over since three or four bananas a day became her go-to pregnancy food. She loves me even when
Hotter Than Hell CHAPTER 104
Nine years later: Dax My damaged hog rattles between my thighs. Add the hot pavement rising up to sizzle the lower half of my body and the sun cooking my shoulders and I fucking guarantee it’s hotter than hell. If I manage to survive the next few hours, I’ll need to repair my bike, which will be costly. That’s really the least of my worries right now, and I shake off those thoughts. I should feel some form of redemption for saving the little girl who I just placed in safe arms. Kiley never deserved the drugged out mother who gave her life or what Fox, the president of the Desert Crows MC, had planned for her. The uncaring fog that’s been with me for almost ten years cleared when I looked into Kiley’s eyes. I didn’t think my plan to remove Kiley from the house would succeed, and I expected to die. Sadly, Kiley would have died too, but death was better than the alternative. I made it out alive with the help of unlikely friends and now Kiley has a chance. The truth—it will take much mor

SofiaHer bare fist skims my jaw without causing damage. The woman in the ring with me hasn’t been that lucky. I lost my last fight and have no intention of going down again. I kick my leg out and she moves to the side. Her mistake is dropping her right arm. I take advantage and let my fist fly. The solid blow sends her to the sand. There are no refs and I take advantage of that while she’s down by kicking her in the head and chest.This is street fighting, though here in Florida we do it on the beach. The people watching and placing bets form the ring. Nothing glamorous about the fight itself or the payout.Whoever the girl is, she doesn’t get up. She tries to crawl away and I won’t have that. I lean down, grab her ponytail, lift her head, and kick her full in the face. It finishes her and cheers and groans swell from the crowd. Joey Jay, promotor, trainer, and all-around piece of shit, walks over and throws his arm around my shoulder. I shrug him off and grab the water bottle from h

DaxFox laughs. It’s a low, throaty sound that rises from deep in his chest. He’s so pompous and I want nothing more than to wipe the smile off his face. Hell, I want to take the smile and cram it down his throat, push it past his belly, and down farther until it shoots from his ass. My body twitches with the need to attack.His smile flips to a scowl. “You think you can take me, kid?”I pull the knife from the table and slide it back in its sheath. “I’m counting on it,” I say between teeth clenched so hard my jaw aches.Fox takes his eyes off me like my challenge is nothing. “What d’ya think, Clutch?”Clutch doesn’t smile, ever. “Shoot ’em and clean the floor with his body. You boys behind Dagger got a death wish too?” Clutch asks.Skull takes a step to my left side. “A challenge has been made. Which one of you wants to put in your tampon and accept it?”My lips twitch. Skull always has a quick wit. He’s also a mean fucker when he needs to be. I’m glad he’s on my side.Fox nods at Sk
Hotter Than Hell CHAPTER 107
SofiaDriving gives me plenty of time to think. You could say my life passes before my eyes. I’ve carried so much anger for so long that I don’t even know what to do to stop it other than kill Frank. What then? I keep asking myself as my car eats up the miles between me and revenge. I stay on the road for twelve hours before pulling into a cheap but clean hotel and calling it a night. Now I’m lying in bed and asking the same question.My room is on the bottom floor and loud, stomping footsteps ring overhead every ten minutes or so and I can’t sleep. I should be exhausted. I’ll be in Peach City the day after tomorrow. I could have done the seventeen hundred miles in two days, but I want to be at my best when I confront the man who’s caused so much heartache in my life. I’ll stay the night in western New Mexico before I reach the border into Arizona. If tomorrow night goes anything like tonight, I should just drive straight through and get the job done. I roll over with the pillow over
Hotter Than Hell CHAPTER 108
DaxIncluding six women and one prospect, there are twenty-two of us. Two members didn’t show. A side room off the main area has a table where the club officers usually meet. It won’t hold everyone we have here tonight, so we’re set up in the main room. The men are restless and the women appear their normal strung-out mess if you don’t count Red. The women start at around twenty years old. There have been younger ones, but it was bringing heat to the club, so Fox started sneaking the young ones in for gangbangs. They were anywhere from sixteen and up and he’d hand them drugs and send them on their way when the brothers were through with them. That’s never been my scene. I like fucking women, grown women. But, I stood by knowing it was happening and that makes me just as guilty.Fuck, this needs to work. I can no longer travel the path of the man I was.We’ve pulled the tables into a loose circle on the main floor of the clubhouse. The only cool air we have comes from an old evap-coole
Hotter Than Hell CHAPTER 109
Dax“What the fuck are we supposed to do?” All heads turn to Pauline. The guys refer to her as Powder because she’ll do anything for a hit of meth. She may have been pretty at one time, but drugs have turned her into a skeletal caricature of a woman. The sores covering her arms and face kept me away from what’s between her legs and I never understood why any of the men took what she offered. If it wasn’t for her treatment of Kiley, I might feel sorry for her.I push back from the table a bit and turn my full attention to the women. “Most of you are addicts.” That’s an understatement because I’d bet my ass, except for Red, they all are. “That won’t work here anymore. You get clean or get out.” The next part is rough but the truth. “Club whores are a dime a dozen. If you clean up and want to keep spreading your legs, that’s fine, you have a place to do it within this club.”When I finish laying out these rules, Pauline explodes. Red tries to grab her as she runs toward me with fists fly
Hotter Than Hell CHAPTER 110
SofiaI stay the night in a small Las Cruces hotel. It’s clean, comfortable, and meets my needs.I call Lorene, the only phone number in my new phone. She answers in a whisper. “Hey, can’t talk right now, girlie. I’ll call you back tomorrow.” The call ends.Lorene has no idea I’m coming for Frank. She’s been part of the Desert Crows since Frank got my mother addicted to drugs. She also helped my mom escape. She’s a strange one and the closest person I have as a friend. We’ve never met in person, but I know she would try to stop me if she knew my plans. I stare at the phone in my hand before resting it on the nightstand. I need sleep. I close my eyes and think of revenge. The statue of the Virgin Mary and the peace of the mission creep into my mind.I’m tired. Tired of being angry. Tired of living a half-life and tired of hatred. I fall asleep cradled in the serenity from the church.I sleep better than I expected and wake up easily. Today’s the day. I should go for a run, but I decide
