Page 36 of Thorsten Wisely Dicey MC

“You okay?” I ask, quickly glancing up and down her body to see if she was hit.

“Fine, not hit.” She hurries around the table and I follow her.

Rainer has a bullet wound to the back of his head and exit wounds in the front of his chest from getting shot in the back. The knife to the neck Falcon threw is lodged deep. I glance up at Wally. He was the one who pulled the trigger and killed Rainer.

“Sorry,” Wally grunts and sways on his feet. He glances to his son. “Sorry, kiddo.”

“Dad,” Jocko roars when Wally’s knees buckle.

“Give me your phone.” Livi holds her hand up and without thinking I place it in her hand.

She jabs her finger against the screen and waits before she rattles, “It’s me, Livi. I’m at the Wisely Dicey clubhouse and need an ambulance right now. One down, gunshot to the chest. Yes. Rainer is dead, so is Bodie. Okay. Thanks, Archer.”

Handing the phone back she says, “Let me handle everything, okay?”

Trust. Here’s the part where I’m supposed to take a fucking leap.

I give her a tight nod and I get a stunning smile in return. “Everyone, listen up. Rainer was the one who kidnapped me. That’s what I’m going to tell my cousin.”

Fuck, brilliant solution.

Reaching out, I grab her nape and pull her close to give her a quick kiss. “Rainer brought you to bargain with me. He knew I took the gavel and wanted it back by taking you to put pressure on me.”

“It fits.” She grins and I feel my chest swell.

This was not on my mind when I claimed her. It might have been an afterthought when I fucked her virgin pussy, but now? Commitment. We’re on the same page and throwing our asses and hearts on there as well.

Within minutes EMTs enter the clubhouse along with Archer.

Archer glances around, eyes zooming in on his cousin, and strides to her. “You okay?”

He reaches out to touch her cheek. Not happening. I wrap my arm around her waist and pull her close.

The fucker narrows his eyes. “She’s my cousin, dick. I wasn’t gonna do shit.”

Livi leans against me. “I’m fine, Archer. At least, now I am.”

Archer glances down at Rainer’s dead body. “He’s the one who took you?”

Thank fuck he’s filling in the blanks himself.

“Rainer thought he could use her to force me into a position where I would hand the gavel over to him again,” I state.

Archer narrows his eyes. “And Rainer only now brought her to the clubhouse to confront you?” He turns to Livi. “Can we talk in private?”

Livi releases a deep sigh. “I’d rather get this over with now. Rainer kept me locked up in a closet for two days.” Cuddling closer against me she states, “I’d rather have a shower, some food, and crawl into bed.”

I place a kiss on the top of her head. “You’ll get it. As soon as we’re done here you can go to our room to shower and I’ll get some takeout.”

“Don’t you have prospects to fetch shit?” Archer questions.

I jerk my chin in the direction of Rainer’s body bleeding all over the damn place. “They’ll be too busy cleaning up. I also need for you to pull Kayden. The cop doesn’t belong here, and he’s no longer a prospect. If you don’t want me to handle it, then you should do it for me. Understood? I don’t want my woman to wait while you’re handling that shit. Besides, the burger joint is two blocks down.”

“A burger with fries and a chocolate shake sounds great,” Livi beams.

Archer’s fucking face softens and he says, “Go shower and rest, cousin. I’ll have one of my men fetch food so Thorsten and I can finish up here.”

Livi steps away and hugs her cousin. My fingers curl into fists. I know he’s her blood but seeing her in anyone’s arms other than mine fucks with my head.
