Inferno Demon Riders MC: My Five Obsessed Bullies novel Chapter 40

Tae/Computer Guru/CG’s P.O.V.

“Let go of my hand,” Bly demanded, trying to shake me off.

just squeezed tighter and chuckled at her.

“You look beautiful today,” I said, ignoring the fact that she was trying her damnedest to slip out of my hold.

“Whatever,” she grumbled, huffing and finally giving up trying to pull away from me.

“I mean it,” I told her. “I mean, you look fucking smokin‘ every day babe, but it’s nice to see you out of that uniform. And with some color in your cheeks.”

Bly turned her head to glare at me, but more color tainted her cheeks, making me smile.

“It’s your guys‘ fault,” she muttered.

“Yeah, babe, it is,” I agreed sadly. “I’m so sorry. I shouldn’t have listened to Karma.”

“Then I would have felt bad when you got beat up or kicked out or killed or whatever it is you guys do when a brother doesn’t follow orders,” she said.

I chuckled again.

“It’s true, we do all of that,” I replied. “But not over something this silly. I might have gotten my ass beat at the most.”

Bly turned her head and scrunched her face up, looking entirely too adorable.

“I think I’d rather things went the way they did then,” she muttered.

“You’d rather be almost starved to death than me have a few cuts and bruises?” I asked, trying to keep my voice light.

Bly shrugged as she stared straight ahead.

“It’s okay as long as I’m the only one who suffers,” she stated, so simply that it shook me to my core.

“That’s not okay, Bly,” I replied softly.

Blythe turned her head, her eyes meeting mine. I hated the guarded look I saw in her electric eyes.

“Isn’t it?” She said, as if daring me to argue. “You all let me suffer in silence for so long. Don’t get sad now that I’m done being silent about it.”

We were almost to the back door when she said that. I halted to a stop, pulling her with me. Bly tried to pull her hand free again so I yanked her to my chest.

“Done being silent?” I practically spat in a low voice. “If you’re done being silent, then tell me what happened to you. We know there’s something.”

Bly glared at me before bringing her knee up to hit me in the gut. I let her go as I doubled over with a grunt. I looked up at her as tears blurred my vision. Jesus fuck! She has strong legs.

“Don’t act like you don’t know,” she spat at me. “Stop bringing it up if you all want me to play along with whatever game this is. Otherwise, I’ll stay in my room. Alone. Forever.”

With that, Bly walked into the clubhouse, leaving me behind. I had to pull myself together to run after her. I made it to her just as she got to her bedroom door.

“Hey, CG, wanna come party with us, baby?” Coco asked as she walked past me in the hallway.

“No, thanks,” I replied without looking away from Blythe.

Coco looked between the two of us, but I’m not really sure what conclusion she came to. I was too busy staring at Blythe. Who was looking between me and Coco.

“Oh, sorry, didn’t mean to interrupt,” Coco said before taking a step closer to Blythe. “You’re that new chick they brought back, right?” She asked.

Blythe looked her up and down before nodding. A wide smile spread across Coco’s face.

“Girl, yes!” Coco squealed as she grabbed Blythe’s hands and started jumping up and down. “Listen, on a real, not many of us like the club princesses. Some of the succubi kiss their asses in hopes they can claim patches one day, but most of us aren’t about that life. Not here. I’ve been to other clubs where all the club. sluts are like that.” She rambled as Blythe blinked at her. “Anyway, I thought it was really cool the way your were giving it right back to Everly earlier. Most of us know to keep our mouths shut when it comes to her. You’re like our hero just for talking a little shit to her.”

Wait, what?

“What do you mean most of you know to keep your mouths shut?” I asked her.

Coco looked up at me with wide eyes, but tried to cover it quickly.

“Just that we know better than to tick off a club princess, that’s all,” she replied with a smile.

“Well, fuck that,” Blythe stated, crossing her arms. “Just because you guys are club girls doesn’t mean you’re not human beings. You still deserve basic respect. If Everly or Alex talks shit to you or makes you feel bad, I think you should be able to at least say something back to her.”

Coco beamed at her.

“I fucking wish, but that’s not how the hierarchy works around here, Love–nut,” she told Blythe.

Bly gave me an incredulous look.

“I will call you by your road names and only your road names because the people that I used to know… Chayton, Evander, Ozias, Kylian, and Tae… They’re gone now. You’re new people. I will never call you anything other than your road names.” She stated, staring at me like I was the devil or some shit.

I gave her a sad look.

“I’m not gone,” I mumbled softly.

“You know what I mean, CG, things are different now,” she replied with a hard tone.

“Fine,” I stated. “I can work with that.”

“Wait, what?” Bly asked.

I finally let go of her wrist, but only to cup the side of her face as I held her close to me.

“I can remind you of how it used to be, and also show you what it can be now,” I told her. “I’m not giving up on you Bly. Not when I finally have you again. Whatever is going on with you, we’re going to figure it out. And everything that’s messed up between us all… we’re going to fix it.”

Blythe scoffed and looked away from me. I tilted her chin, forcing those electric blues back to me. We stared at each other for a while, lost in a trance.

“I’m sorry for everything we’ve done to you, baby,” I said softly.

“I–I don’t believe you,” she replied in a whisper.

“It’s okay, Fireball, I’m gonna prove it to you,” I told her..

“How?” she asked.

“Well, with time,” I replied. “And pestering. A whole lot of pestering.”

“Pestering?” She asked with an adorably scrunched face.

“Mhmmm,” I drawled out, licking my lips. “In fact, I’m starting right now.”
