CORPUS ROCK, New Mexico
Lynnie
My heart skipped a beat. The Devil was at my front door. And not a minute
too soon.
Once upon a time, I’d thought there was nothing more terrifying than
my mother’s new husband. But I’d been wrong, Alfie wasn’t shit compared
to him. Reaper. The leader of the Devil’s Riders. The most dangerous man
who ever wore leather and rode a motorcycle.
The man I was gambling my entire future on.
The sound of screeching tailpipes alerted me to their arrival. Drying my
hands on the towel hanging through the door handle of the fridge, I
hightailed it to the kitchen window. Peeking out the pale, faded curtain, I
watched the men in black leather cuts, bank their bikes along the length of
our dirt driveway. A plume of dust swirled around their powerful bodies as
they dismounted their tricked-out Harleys.
The men spoke in deep baritones as they unfastened their helmets and
slung them around the handles of their beloved metal beasts. Raising my
hand, I sheltered my eyes from their twinkling brightness and continued to
watch for him. My would-be savior.
Pain greeted me as my fingers grazed my swollen brow. I’d
momentarily forgotten about my black eye. It wasn’t hard to do. I was
sporting bruises more often than not these days. Bruises that came courtesy
of my stepfather, Alfie. Rare was the occasion that the man’s children, or
his wives, weren’t some shade of black or blue. After all, Alfie didn’t ask
for what he wanted. He showed you. With his fists. And he wasn’t stingy
with the lessons.
I, more than any of the other women, irritated the sullen man. As the
daughter of a “worldly woman”, Alfie believed me to be inherently sinful.
Wicked. Prideful. Probably because I was. Not in the eyes of the secular
world, mind you. To them, I would have been considered a saint. But in the
eyes of my mother’s pompous, righteous, zealot of a husband, I was nothing
short of Jezebel herself.
My mother was Alfie’s fifth wife. That’s right. Lucky number five. A
fact that is exactly as exciting and honorable as it sounds. I was the twentyninth child of a fifth wife. Strike that. The twenty-ninth child of a fifth wife
who wasn’t even biologically his. Yup. I was pretty much as useful to the
man as tits on a bull and he never let me forget it.
But that all changed the year I turned fifteen. Two things happened to
alter my world forever that year. Alfie’s first wife passed away and I started
to develop breasts. Suddenly, I had my stepfather’s attention. And that had
never been a goal of mine.
The pig got it into his head that I needed to be his sixth wife. The
replacement for the woman who’d born him twelve children, taking what
would have been his thirtieth child with her to the grave.
The advancements started small. Standing too close. A hand grazing my
lower back.
