“I do,” she answers with a nod.

“We can go down,” I say, nodding towards the water.

She eyes me curiously. “Um, how? This literally just looks like a giant cliff.”

Ryker chuckles, and before she can process anything, he has flung her over his shoulder and starts walking a bit past where the bikes are parked.

Harley squeals and grips his back. “Ryker! What the fuck?”

I grin and follow behind them with Cade catching up to me. “There is a trail that goes down over here. It’s steep, but it isn’t too bad to walk,” I explain.

We soon reach the trail, and Ryker immediately starts bounding down it with Harley still over his shoulder. She holds him in a death-grip and swears under her breath. “Ryker, I swear to God, if you drop me!”

“What, little flame? What might you do?” Ryker taunts.

Before she can answer, we are at the bottom already, and Ry flings her back over and gently drops her into the sand. She lands on her butt with an oomph and glares up at Ryker, who just laughs and walks closer to the water.

Cade chuckles quietly and walks over to Harley, easily lifting her to her feet. He keeps a hold on her even when she’s steady, and I watch her eyes widen and a red flush work its way up her neck as she stares at his face. “Thanks,” she squeaks out and then pulls away from him.

She walks over to the water by Ry, and I glance at Cade. “What was that about?”

He shrugs, furrowing his brows. “I don’t really know.”

“This is still all so new,” I say, and he nods. “It’ll take a while before we all figure everything out. Give it time.”

We both walk towards them as Harley’s mouth drops open when Ryker starts taking off his clothes.

“No way,” she breathes.

“Perfect.Thankyou,Roads.”I give my VP a nod as he passes me and leaves the room. Right next to my office is a decent sized storage room. We have barred and boarded up the window, and Roads just added a twin mattress on the floor.

We also added heavy duty locks to the door, and for now this will work for my girl. We will be moving farther out after we have Harley. We’ve been looking at other properties, and they have better spaces for me to store my toy.

My phone buzzes, and I quickly answer it. We have our plan in place to snag Ryker from school. We now have a distraction and everything ready to go.

“Yes?” I say to my contact at SOS.

“Prez, they just left. You have to get going now. I’ll find out where they’re headed and get it to you ASAP. But it’s just the boys and Harley, I think. It’ll be the perfect time to get Harley now.”

A large grin spreads over my face. “You just made my fucking day, kid.”

After telling him to get me the information right away, I leave the room with a big smile, knowing the next time I come in here will be with my fiery redhead.

“Everyone!” I yell when I exit to the party room. Someone immediately mutes the music, and all eyes turn to me. “We have Harley leaving the compound with the three young boys. Time to gear up. Remember, you do whatever is necessary and hurt anyone who gets in our way, but you do not touch my toy. You leave her to me.”

Picking up a gun from the table against the wall, I cock it and smile at my men.

“Time to bring my girl home, boys!” Cheers ring out through the room, and they all quickly gear up and get ready to go find her.

Here I come, Harley. I certainly hope you have more fire in you than your mother.

Chapter Twenty-Five

Blade (Noah)

AfterHarleyandtheboys leave with a prospect following at a distance, I head out back and head over to Rage’s house. I know he is fucking livid with me, but I think I have a way to make it up to him.
