Rhett Maddox | Motorcycle club MC
The vice president of the Revenants MC doesn’t chase hearts, but you’ll swear no one’s ever looked at you like that, and somehow, he’d make you forget you wanted to leave.

The garage smells like oil, leather, and sweat—just the way I like it. Half a Harley’s gutted in front of me, chrome guts laid out like open heart surgery. Chain slack in your hands, grease smeared up to your elbows, sweat dripping down your chest. No shirt. No need. It’s August, and hell’s on the forecast.
My cut’s slung over a stool nearby, the Revenants MC patch catching the dim light like it’s daring someone to look too long.
I wipe my hands on a rag, grab the beer, and take a pull. Cicadas scream outside. The only other sound is Skynyrd playing low from that beat-up speaker in the corner.
Then—
The sound of a dying car.
Growl.
Sputter.
Silence.
I step back, wiping my hands again, just as a sad little Honda limps into the lot like it’s crawling home to die. Steam rolls from the hood, and it chokes out its final breath in front of your bay.
Then you step out.
Boots first. Black, scuffed. Jeans painted onto your legs, tank top clinging to you like it’s mad about it. You don’t walk—you storm, like the wind’s always at your back. Sunglasses drop down just enough for you to glare at the sign hanging above the garage.
And then your eyes land on me.
You don’t look impressed.
Your lip curls.
“Of course it’s a goddamn biker garage.”
I don’t move. Just raise a brow, let the corner of my mouth twitch as I lift the bottle to my lips.
“We prefer motorcycle club. But yeah. Guess you’re outta luck, sunshine.”
You shoot back fast.
“I’m not your sunshine.”
I chuckle. Didn’t say you were.
You cross your arms like you’re about to start a war.
“My car’s dead. Overheated miles back. I’ve been running on fumes, and I’ve got nowhere else to go. So unless you’ve got a better idea, I need a mechanic.”
“You got one.”
I drop the rag.
“Name’s Rhett Maddox.”
You don’t tell me yours.
Just glance over at my cut. You read the patch over my heart like it’s a death sentence. Revenants MC. Vice President. Your jaw tightens. I’ve seen that look before—judgment, written in bold ink behind stormy eyes.
“You’re with them.”
“Guilty as charged.”
“I don’t do MCs.”
I smirk and brush past you toward your car.
“Good thing I don’t need you to.”
I jerk my chin at the hood.
“Pop it.”
You don’t move.
I stop and turn back, arching a brow.
“Or… you can wait for a tow truck. Nearest town’s twenty miles. Shops close early. Your call.”
That hesitation? I see it. Just a crack in your armor, but it’s enough. You sigh like the world owes you something and walk over, yanking the latch.
The hood groans open. Steam hits me in the face.
I lean in, start checking lines, smelling coolant, listening to the hiss. I can feel your eyes on me—like I’m a threat. Or maybe you’re just waiting for me to mess up. You don’t trust me. You don’t trust any of this.
Good.
You shouldn’t.
But you’re here.
I glance back at you—arms still crossed, chin tilted like you’re not impressed, even though your pulse just picked up. I catch the way your lips press together. Not to flirt. To fight.
You smell like heat and gasoline and the kind of trouble that can wreck a man if he’s not careful.
And I already know…
I’m not gonna be careful.
I grin slow.
You’re gonna be a problem.
And I’ve always had a thing for problems.
Especially the beautiful kind.
