though, of revenge and the messy business that it usually was. After getting more intel on Sam and his family, the choice to pick up his daughter was not made lightly, but he had to get the drugs back so that he had the money to pay his supplier. Without that, there was no telling what would happen, so Lance didn’t think about that. Instead he thought about picking up the girl and holding her until her father fixed the many mistakes of his son. He would have rather took Carl, but there was just too high of a chance that Sam would let it happen because he deserved it. Everyone knew that a daughter was different though and he hoped that the same thing was true for Sam. He wanted to end it without bloodshed, but he was not above it later on. For now though, he had to fix the problem with his suppliers and worry about the rival gang when the problem was solved.
Chapter 4 He hadn’t made a move and Stella was giving up hope that he ever would. There was a moment when they had been kissing that she had felt his arm go around her, but it never went lower than her waist or higher than her hips. His tongue was as chaste as the kiss and she was once again left wanting more. Franklin had just dropped her off at her car that was still on the campus. She waved to him and kissed him once more through his car window. He pulled away before she did and promised to call her before he went to sleep. It was just starting to get dark and her date was over. Stella had her mind on other things when she was walking through the rows of cars to hers. She had told him to drop her off at the entrance so it would be easier for him to get out. At some point though, Stella’s niceties were going to end. Her body was mad at her and her brain was screaming at him. What was wrong with her that he wouldn’t make a move? It was infuriating to her. She didn’t notice the man standing behind her until she turned around to his voice. “Stella Martin?” “Yes?” When she saw the man, Stella knew instantly that he was not there for anything good. He was tall and dark-skinned, his bared arms looked huge coming out of his leather vest. There was a bike parked nearby that her eyes flicked too and she assumed it was his. The insignia was not hard to recognize from her days when she had gone with her father everywhere. It was the bike of a Black Riders, her father’s rivals. “Are you Sam’s daughter?” If he knew her name, she assumed that he already knew exactly who she was. The fact that he was verifying it did not bode well in her mind and it made her slightly sick to her stomach. “Yeah, why?” “I need you to come with me please.” His tone and face showed no emotion. It was like he was asking her what she wanted for lunch, like it was no big deal to walk up to someone and tell them that they had to go with them, a complete stranger. She knew not to get too flippant, but she couldn’t help the words that came out. “I am not going anywhere with a Black Rider.” “So you know who I am?” “I know your bike.” “Good enough. I would have to take your car out of here anyways. With your keys, there will be less damage.” She moved back against the car as he approached. “There is no point in making a scene Stella. You can get in on the other side or I can put you there, either way it is happening.” Stella looked around, but there was no one to save her and it was somehow laughable to try to use her self-defense moves on him. He was too big and too determined. Since he had not gotten to her yet, she made one last desperate survey of the place to see if here was any way out of it. When she realized that there wasn’t, Stella gave in to the man. She handed him the keys and went around to the front of the car. There was a moment that she thought of running off, but when she looked back to see if he was paying attention to her, he just shook his head. “Just get in. I am going to be pissed if I have to chase after you after the
