I smile and my heart skips a beat. Lucas kisses me hard, giving me everything he has. Once we pull apart, I put my clothes back on and Lucas adjusts his. He gives me another kiss before he sits in his chair and pulls me onto his lap.

“Now that we got that out of the way, what can you tell me about what happened?” Lucas asks, his arms tighten around my waist and he kisses the top of my head.

I inhale a deep breath and tell him everything that happened from the bar, how I was helpless to stop them from hurting Khandi, to when I woke up in the basement, then how the three men left us alone and how Elsa and I were able to escape.

“What three men?” Lucas asks when I stop talking.

“A Russian they called Kozlov, Kingston and Steam. They had me blindfolded, tied, gagged and a rope around my neckthat would choke me if I moved.” Suddenly a conversation pops in my head. “Holy shit.”

“What?”

“Kingston, he said it was a pity that his men raped and killed Khandi because she wasn’t supposed to be there but that’s what happens when you climb into bed with a man like him.”

“Are you sure?” Lucas asks, he turns us toward his computers and his fingers come around me, flying over his keys.

“Positive.” I watch with rapt attention as his screens turn from a bunch of numbers and letters to cameras all over the city. “Whoa,” I exclaim in shock.

Lucas smirks, kisses the top of my head and continues entering in codes and numbers. My brain can’t keep up with what he’s doing and it’s pretty overwhelming. Images flash across the screens until his computer beeps.

“Gotcha, fucker.” Lucas’ body is filled with tension as an image of Khandi, Kingston, Kozlov and Steam fills the monitor. They’re in the bar.

Chapter

Eighteen

ROOSTER

Istill haven’t told Alyssa Kingston, Kozlov and Steam weren’t there when we arrived. I don’t want her to freak out and start doing stupid shit. They must have snuck out another door not on a camera while we entered from the front. The man Duke threw over the edge was one of Kingston’s but the fucker wasn’t in sight.

There was something we were missing and thanks to Alyssa, I think we found it. When the image of the three men and Khandi at our bar the day they took Alyssa popped up, I knew we had them now. They’ve been right under our noses the entire time and fury builds in my gut.

“Thank you, Spitfire. You just helped me figure this out.” I kiss Alyssa on the cheek. She raises from my lap, stretching her back, exhaustion from the last couple of days evident in the way she moves. I have the urge to slap her ass in those booty shorts and I’m hard again. Fuck, she’s killing me.

Alyssa leans over my chair so our noses are touching. “You’re welcome, Lucas. I’m going to lie down with Elsa if you don’t need me anymore.”

“Babe, I will always need you. Never forget that.” I squeeze her ass as Alyssa’s lips land on mine and I pull her back onto mylap. She grinds her core into the hardness behind my jeans and I swallow her moan.

She pulls back and stares into my eyes. “I love you, Lucas.”

“I love you, too, Alyssa. Get some sleep and I’ll be up as soon as I can.” I kiss her one last time and watch her as she walks out of my communications room and shuts the door behind her.

Looking at the clock on the wall, it’s almost three a.m. and I haven’t slept in over forty-eight hours but there’s shit to get done and I’ll sleep when this is over. I get back to work and send a text to Kayne and he responds immediately. Then I text all my brothers and tell them Church in thirty. I search for more images to see how they’re getting into the bar undetected and that’s when I see the glitch on the screen. The fucker hacked into my system and has been running a loop each time they’re there.

“Son of a bitch.” I growl. I pull up all the feeds and begin searching for the same glitch. Once I find several of them, I compare them to the camera feeds.

Raising from my seat, I collect everything I need and head to the Chapel. I’m the first one in here and take a moment to center myself. I run my fingers over the oak table and a sense of melancholy takes over. This table has held our secrets, sheltered our tears and revived our lives. I wouldn’t be here today if the Savage Saints didn’t take me in when they did.

Thankful for having this opportunity and having a family again, I take my seat, fire up my laptop and wait for everyone else to file in. Kayne and Blayde are the first ones to enter. They don’t say anything as they take their seats.

I clear my throat and look directly at Kayne. “I’d like to say something before anyone else comes in.”

Kayne lights up a cigarette and exhales before motioning for me to continue.

“I want to say, thank you.” I clear my throat from the emotions overtaking me. “Thank you for bringing me into yourfamily and giving me this opportunity to do what I love. I also want to thank you for kicking me in the ass when I needed it when it came to Alyssa. Looking back now, if I had pursued her in the beginning, I would have broken her heart. Instead, she healed mine and tonight, I want to make it official as making her my Ol’ Lady.”

“Of course.” Kayne nods his head, flicking the ash into the ashtray. “I’ll get the prospects to get shit around for your Ol’ Lady party and have Talon ready for her to get your ink. Remember, in return, you have to get her ink too.” Kayne smirks.

I think back to when Kayne and Blayde got their Ol’ Ladies ink and I release a chuckle. “As long as it isn’t some dainty shit.”
