The men started to stand but they all slowed as Clip spoke, “Only one person I know that can make you smile like that. Go see your woman, Pres.”

Clip jerked his chin to the door.

I didn’t hesitate in getting out of there and made a beeline for the kitchen.

Because I was indeed hungry, but I wanted to see my woman.

She had her back to the room, bent at the waist, digging something out of the fridge.

Oh, how I wished Lena would give me a sign. Just fucking one that she was just as into me as I was into her.

Because then I could walk up behind her and rub my aching dick in her backside.

Fuck me.

And then, I cursed, because she had just titled her ass.

At my curse, she twisted her head, tawny-flecked eyes locked onto mine, and then she smirked before she straightened

As she straightened, she pulled the barbeque sauce from the fridge that she knew I preferred.

I watched as she closed the door, then headed to the island where a plate that looked like it held a pulled pork sandwich.

Planting my ass on the stool, I took the sauce from her and jerked my chin.

I had just taken a massive bite when she lowered her voice and asked, “Are you okay?”

I chewed, swallowed, then asked, “Are you okay?”

She looked at me, and said, “Storm, I wasn’t the one who had cuffs placed on my wrist. Then led out to a police cruiser. Hauled into jail. And had to sit through hours among hours of interrogation or whatever they did.” While she said that, I finished my sandwich in four bites.

Once I swallowed the last bite, I drank some of the water, and then I asked, “Are you okay?”

She nodded, sighed, then said, “Yeah, I’m okay.”

“Then so am I,” I told her as I winked at her.

Not giving her time to process what I just did, I stood, tagged my empty plate, and tossed it in the trash. Then I grabbed my glass of water, guzzled it down, and placed it in the sink.

Just as I stepped from the sink, she asked, “So how did I go to sleep on the couch, and wake up in your bed?”

“That’s a discussion for another day, Precious. Wish I had time now, but I don’t.” I told her.

She nodded, “I got you. Go do whatever you need to do, I have time, and I’m patient. Whenever you’re ready for that discussion, just let me know. Okay?”

I nodded then pressed a kiss on her forehead then made my way to the shed.

Red was the last to join us as we crowded around the space.

Ripper was already at work, and when he asked her why she betrayed the club, she refused to answer.

So, he took his knife and shredded her clothes, followed by her bra, and I watched as he grabbed her tit, and put the knife near her areola.

“I’ll ask one more time, why did you betray the club?”

Again, she refused to answer, until he made one cut with his knife, then she cried out and told us everything.

“Because I got tired of all y’all only wanting to use my body and not respecting me. But there was someone else who respected me. And he wanted y’all out of the way so he could take over your operation.”
