Bike week was one of her favorite times of the year; the week before it was, as well because of the mega-camp that always popped up for those who wanted to make more connections, memories and just spend more time around their own kind of people. Not every biker that showed up was in a MC but almost everyone came with someone else or with a small group. Myka loved it because she could see just how much people changed, or didn't, inside of a year. There were sometimes where a whole MC would show up and then the next year, their numbers had fallen by almost half for whatever reason. She had spent well over a decade building her MC, the Daughters of Darkness and thankfully they were still going strong. She and most of her club were already most of the way to the mega-camp and they only had a few more hours before they would be there and then they could get settled in. The group only made a few pit stops in the remaining hours; she wasn't the only one who was anxious to get there.
Once they arrived, they navigated slowly through the campground until they found the lot that she had reserved at the beginning of the year. It didn't take her very long to pitch her tent and when she was done she went around and helped the ones who were having trouble. When everyone's tent was properly set up, she couldn't help but grin as she gathered all of the women up by her tent. "Now that we're settled in, go! Drink, fuck and be merry! Don't do anything I wouldn't do."
She had just turned to head towards a neighboring campsite that already had a fire going and more than a few friendly faces when her attention was grabbed by an impossibly tall man that looked as if he had been carved from a thick oak tree.
"So chicks ride now? I mean, no offense baby-doll, but maybe you should go back to baking in cute frilly dresses and aprons and leave the ridin' to the big dogs."
It had been years since anyone had the balls to speak to her that way but it still set her blood to boiling and stiffened her spine. Turning to face him and the three men behind him, her sapphire blue eyes rolled as she flicked her thick hair over her shoulder. "Aww, I see someone failed the originality portion of misogyny school. I think classes start back up in a few weeks though so you have plenty of time to practice, big guy." Glancing behind his small group, she waved at a few people she knew before bringing her attention back to him. "Look, I've never seen you here before and I've been coming here for close to fifteen years. If you want a decent camping spot, reserve a spot early. Also, I'm not your fucking baby-doll." Pushing past him, she had just reached her second-in-command, Meg, when his voice reached her ears again. Apparently he had followed her and seemed intent on continuing their conversation.
"You got one helluva attitude, you know that? A guy makes a joke and you turn into a raging bitch. You might have more fun if you toned it down a notch or two." He glanced at his buddies who had all begun to laugh and fist bumped Booker before turning back to her with a smirk. Sliding the flask of whiskey from the inside pocket of his vest, he took a pull from it and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand before speaking again. "Maybe, just maybe, you wanna have a drink and we can talk like regular people. It was just a joke, for fucks sake. I can't help it if you don't know how to take one." Bringing his hand forward, he smacked her on the ass as she made to turn away from him again, following it with a strong grope, admiring the firm, rounded half-globes first hand. He had barely brought his hand back before she was turning to face him, her blue eyes blazing as she fixed a dagger filled stare on him.
"Jokes and misogyny don't go hand in hand anymore. I also don't recall giving you permission to touch me." Stepping forward, she subtly lengthened her nails into short talons and clutched his balls in a vise-like grip through the fabric of his jeans. "Now maybe, just maybe, you apologize and actually act like a regular human being and not someone who's trying to impress your rubber-neck, backwoods buddies." Releasing him just in time for his fist to connect with her mouth, she spit out a tiny drop of blood as the wound healed over almost instantly.
"You talk about acting human but you grab a dude you don't even know by the balls. Are you deranged?" He stepped back and took another swig from his flask, eyeing her as she hardly reacted to the punch that usually floored men three times her size. "Just calm the fuck down."
"Pot, meet kettle. You're the one who slapped a stranger's ass and didn't expect any retaliation. So who's really the fucking deranged one? As for calming down, I am calm. You ain't seen nothin' yet and I hope you don't, for your own fucking sake." Frowning, she was mid-turn to walk away from him when he spoke again, his cockiness grating on her nerves.
"Well maybe if you took a joke we could start having a good time. You might even be my newest plaything, who knows?" He waved his buddies off and tucked his flask into his vest again as he watched her suddenly yank her crop top off and tuck it into her back pocket.
"Take a mental picture, maybe it'll help later on your night-cap with Rosie palmer and her five sisters." Feeling the touch of a cold bottle against her arm, she turned and greeted Meg with a smile and accepted the beer gratefully. Sipping it slowly, she watched Meg make her way back towards the bonfire and sighed. He was so busy admiring the sudden view of her breasts that he didn't even look up when another girl came over. This girl was a fucking unicorn in his eyes; a perfect mixture of a smoking hot body, a biker, extremely bitchy and obviously tough as all hell.
"You are one crazy bitch, you know that? I mean that as a compliment, by the way but you set the chain of events in motion, from the ass slap all the way to the punch you took so well to the mouth. So, what, were you some angry, bitter 'ole lady who finally got sick of being knocked around all the time? 'Cause at this angle, you still look like a punching bag. Stop being so transparent, cupcake, it really doesn't suit you." He was enjoying finding all the right buttons to push with her, he wanted to test just how far he could push her.
