Chapter 18

Roar sat at the headof the table in the meeting room of the Slag Motorcycle Club clubhouse. Peer set the last of the envelopes in front of Roar, waiting for the appropriate time to hand out each member's share of the pot.

"We'll target Blue and get the extortion money back Moroad has once again stolen. That should give us enough cash for the next shipment. Considering the Federal Agent is watching us, we'll come up with a way to divert the attention off us and toward the gang." Roar looked to Brage. "We'll need the details next week for us to plan a way out without any eyes watching us."

"That'll work. Blue is dealing meth and women. It shouldn't be hard to swing all the attention to their activities." Brage took a question from one of the members.

Peer half-listened, ready to go. The monthly meeting was going to make him miss Tyr's doctor appointment if it lasted much longer.

"What about Brikken?" Marcus closed the folder in front of him. "It's on the calendar to validate their schedule."

"Can Elling find that information out through his channels?" asked Joel.

Elling, the computer genius of the club, shook his head. "Slag's on their own regarding Brikken. They don't confide in anyone else."

Since Elling got together with Jackie, a blood relative of the Stanton family who ran Brikken Motorcycle Club, he'd drawn a line. Understanding his position about not wanting to put hurt on his woman's family, the Slag officers backed him in his decision not to use his woman for personal gain. Elling, stepping back when dealing with one club, wouldn't weaken Slag. They'd rise to the occasion.

"Peer?" Roar steepled his hands in front of him. "Get a crew sorted and have an answer about Brikken before the next meeting."

"Will do." He looked around the table. "Anything else?"

"Nei." Roar banged the table. "Meeting adjourned. It's payday."

"Make sure you grab your envelope before leaving." Peer watched over the money, handing it to each member present at the meeting.

For the members who hadn't risen into a high enough ranking to attend a meeting, he'd make sure they each swung by the clubhouse to receive their envelope by morning. It took time, considering Slag tipped out at almost three hundred members.

Once the room cleared, he put the records in the safe and walked out to the main room. He searched for Coco and Tyr and came up empty.

Spotting Monica, he said, "Did Coco leave already?"

"About ten minutes ago." She raised her brows. "Tyr's with her, too. Do you want me to run out and see if she's left the property yet?"

"Nei. I'll find her." He walked off, jogging to the door, and pushed outside. If he hurried, he could catch up with her at the doctor's office.

In the alley, Coco's car was gone from the spot where she'd parked. He hopped on his Harley, put the helmet on his head, and started the bike. Tyr needed him.

His son was due for his shots, and after seeing what Tyr went through during the other baby-well checkups, he wanted to make sure he was there to comfort him.

Riding out of the gate, he stayed on the main road and followed the flow of traffic to downtown Portland, hitting every red light. By the time he entered the parking garage, found Coco's car, it was a half hour past Tyr's appointment and he decided to wait for them.

His wait wasn't long. Coco walked out of the clinic, searched the area without seeing him, and carried Tyr his way. From his distance, he watched her face keep turning to his son, her lips moving, holding a one-sided conversation.

Tyr played with Coco's necklace, contently allowing her to carry him.

For the first time today, he was exactly where he wanted to be. He no longer cared that he'd missed his son's doctor appointment. Coco was there for his son, comforting him, and giving Tyr the attention he needed.

And, it was the sexiest thing he'd ever experienced. If someone would've asked him a year ago what he wanted in a woman, he would've wanted a beautiful woman who was adventurous in bed. His desires were simple.

Then, Coco entered his life and what he wanted had changed.

He inhaled deeply. He got the beautiful woman who was adventurous in bed, but he had a deep craving for loyalty, a giving nature, a nurturer, an honest and yet level-headed personality.

Coco brought everything he needed and wanted into his house and made his and Tyr's life better. He wanted a future with her.

"Pa pa pa." Tyr pushed against Coco's shoulder, wanting down.

He'd been spotted.
