Two Silent Nights - Esther E. Schmidt
Kayler is vice president of this Silver Rain MC chapter and smitten. He’s glad Olcay needed to take this job as a one-time only deal, meaning she hasn’t stripped for anyone else. He’s determined there’s no way this will be two-nights only. He doesn’t get involved with local women. Doesn’t do repeats either and they’ve been together twice and unsheathed. Never took a woman out to eat. Never allowed anyone on the back of his bike. That’s a whole lot of nevers he broke when it comes to Olcay. One is possible, two maybe, but smashing records of firsts for him to recognise that she’s special and he wasn’t born a fool that would pass up something that feels this good.
His father Conroy is equally smitten with her sister Odette:
“I made, raised, and tolerate you. I think I can handle it.”
Her half-sister Odette sought sanctuary with her because, the father of her son traded her in for his five years younger secretary. They ran off together to Paris, Hawaii, or wherever clearing out their entire bank account. He left his own son behind? Not that he ever cared about the child and has always been awful to the both of them. Then a loan shark forced Bo’s debt on Odette or Olcay wouldn’t be at the clubhouse making certain they got the five grand that Bo owes. He didn’t pay the rent so they were evicted on the day he left with his secretary. Odette and Baxter are now living with her.
Olcay and Odette are both hard-working people who have never been involved in any criminal activities–instead Bo Fielder and his secretary were found floating in the river. He was once a boxer in underground fighting, and helped organise them but…she was left out of it.
Odette will be twenty-seven next month.
His father just turned forty-five.
The kitchen scene with Binx was priceless.

Ten Minutes
(AN OATH KEEPERS MC SHORT STORY)
SAPPHIRE KNIGHT
Spin owns a tattoo shop, covered in tattoos, a mohawk shaped into four long points, and different-colored irises—one purple from some freak mess-up with his genes. At six foot three, he intimidates common folks, he’s not the bring-home-to-the-parents type, and has learnt acceptance.
He finds a pregnant woman lying in the middle of the road. Her ex—Jack—refused to accept their break-up. She moved out and got a place to be in her own space, but of course, instead his father threatened and hit her, if she stays and doesn’t take him back, his father may end up killing her. Naomi’s been researching ever since his father, Tommy, threatened her. One offers safety. More of a “safe refuge”. The website says they accept only a few women per year, and it was founded by a woman named Sadie. According to the About Me section, she was once pregnant and escaping from a violent man driving across a few states to show up at a biker compound, looking for help, and they protected her. Since then, she’s married one of the officers of the motorcycle club, had another baby with him, and has founded Sadie’s Baby Haven for Pregnant Women.
Another reference of drug versus dragged used “I am scared to check my accounts. I’m sure he’s drug my name through the dirt. You know how people believe everything they see online, no matter how untrue it may be.”
