Page 3 of Pit's Salvation

Pit couldn’t see where this was going, but he was a tad concerned that the club’s relationship with Bluff Creek Brotherhood MC might be damaged. Ariel was going to be his wife and Ol’ Lady, but he’d hoped to be able to control how War, Baron, and Roam found out. Now, it was anyone’s guess how this would turn out.

“So why come here?” Pit questioned.

He felt a little stupid focusing their interest back on him, but he wasn’t sure how he fit in.

“Well, we don’t check that often. Most times when we check, we see the tracker in Topeka, where one of the bail bonds offices is, or in Texas a couple of times, but then today, we saw she was in Kansas City. Then four trackers started all going different ways. One went toward Colorado. One went toward Chicago. The other two went south on Interstate thirty-five and then split, one east on Highway Forty and one west. We decided to see if we could stay here and then start trying to figure out what happened,” Baron said.

“How about we all go get some sleep and then we can talk about it tomorrow? I can guarantee that Ariel is fine,” Beth Franks, the youngest sister of the bail bonds, stated.

“How can you guarantee she’s fine when the trackers are all going different directions?” War asked.

“Well, they’re all going different directions because Ariel was angry when I called to tell her about them,” Beth stated, grinning at War.

“How did you find out about them?” War asked.

“Sarah saw them on Scoop’s laptop when her husband left the program up and running when he went to the bathroom. She was a little irritated at the high-handedness of you guys,” Beth stated.

This wasn’t getting better, and Pit was worried this would be an epic explosion they couldn’t come back from.

“How about Sledge and Crux get you all either rooms in the clubhouse or into our cabins to stay the night? I’m sure everyone is tired. Then we can sit down tomorrow and see if you all still need help.”

Pit was really hoping they’d take him up on his offer. He hadn’t heard any sounds from the bedroom and really hoped Ariel didn’t walk out now.

“We’d love a cabin, Pit. Remi, Sarah, Beth, and I can stay together. I have no wish to sleep beside my husband tonight since he obviously didn’t want to let me in on his plans,” Regina stated.

He nodded at Crux. “Ladies, come with me. Do you have luggage we need to get?” Crux said as he led them out of the house.

Baron, War, and Roam stood up. “Sorry to barge in, Pit. When I saw all those trackers going different ways, all I could think about was a human trafficking ring trying to get rid of evidence. We’ll stay in the clubhouse, and I’m sure I’ll be trying to figure out how to get in my wife’s good graces tomorrow,” War said.

“Sledge will get you set up, and there’s no reason to apologize. I can see how it would scare you. We can all get together tomorrow morning.”

Pit waited until he saw the guys go in the back door of the clubhouse before he closed and locked his door, turning off the lights as he made his way back to his room. He walked into his bedroom. Ariel was sitting on the bed.

“Well, this seems a fine situation we’re in,” Pit said.

Ariel giggled, then fell over chuckling on the bed.

“Oh my gosh. Your face when they were talking. How they didn’t see the fear in your eyes was beyond me. Now what do I get for not coming out there and blowing everything up tonight?” Ariel said, smiling.

Chapter Two

Arielhadlistenedinwhile Regina and some of her friends put her dad and brothers in their place. Her dad and brothers only had themselves to blame for not knowing exactly what Ariel did.

Back when she had graduated college, she mentioned to her dad that she was interested in making a difference. Despite him saying over the years that she could do anything she wanted, he kept mentioning how she needed to have a safe job.

She’d walked into Franks and Daughters Bail Bonds and spoke to Remi about what she was interested in. She’d also talked with Remi about how she had trouble staying on one task for an extended period of time. She worked best when she had different stimuli and things to figure out.

Remi had welcomed her with open arms and said they could tailor a job to fit her skillset and her personality. Remi didn’t see the need to protect her or to limit her ability to work with the company. Ariel had trained and completed all the courses the bail bonds required, and then she’d spent time training directly with the Franks sisters.

Not only was she proficient in investigations, but Ariel had actually been the one to train Beth Franks in surveillance since Beth was younger.

Ariel watched Pit stalking toward her, pulling off his T-shirt and tossing it onto the chair in his room. He might be fifty-three, but he kept in shape. He had some gray hairs coming in on his chest and some in his beard, but it only made him hotter to her.

Ariel was a little irritated at her family for busting in because she’d planned on talking to Pit this weekend about where they were going from here. Now it wouldn’t seem like her idea; it would sound like she was doing it in response to her dad and brothers. However, she’d already spoken to Remi about how she’d like her job to change. Ariel wanted to be based in Kansas City. For now, she’d still run investigations online and in person, but if Pit ended up wanting the same things she did, then she’d move to only online. When she had kids, she planned on being a mom who was around. And with Pit’s age, she was positive he’d want to get started right away.

His hands on her ankles, tugging her toward the end of the bed knocked all the thoughts of the future out of her mind. Dang, this man did it for her. His deep blue eyes and grin had pulled her in.

The fact that her man was heavily endowed in the manhood area and knew how to use it was a fantastic bonus. When Pit had her close to the end of the bed, he let go of her ankles, grasped the neck of his T-shirt she was wearing, and ripped it down the middle. Holy cow, that was hot. The wetness between her legs and her nipples pebbling had her wishing he’d just jump to the part where he thrust inside her and made them one.
