Chapter 40

Haylee

“You alright?” Lucian asked, and then blocked my view to Ethan. God please keep Ethan quiet. Lucian did the back of my strap up, and he dipped his head. “Haylee—”

“There is an intruder in your club,” I blurted it out, causing him to frown. Okay, I could have at least tried to hide the desperate nerves in my voice. “Bakes must have told him I was with you.” I pointed over Lucian’s shoulder. “Get rid of him.”

Lucian looked over his shoulder and then back at me. “He isn’t the first one to come looking, won’t be the last.” He gestured with his head for me to go. He opened the side door, and I didn’t look back at Ethan as I darted for the safety of the club, leaving Ethan in the raw hands of my husband, who had violent tendencies.

“Boys!” Lucian shouted into the clubhouse, causing the men to put their cards down, climb off women, and stop mid-thrust. All making their way outside, not even questioning why they were being pulled away from their Saturday night activities.

The boys didn’t shoulder past me, and a few even gave me a wink and a smile. Which was the first time they had respected me or didn’t look at me like a sex toy.

“Haylee, can we talk?” Ruby, Dash’s girl, appeared at my side.

Was it cruel that I didn’t feel an inch of guilt for what was going to happen to Ethan? Then again, a heart can beat but that doesn’t mean it feels.

“Yeah, sure, Ruby.” I took my eyes off the door as it closed, and then saw the state she was in. “Fuck. What the fuck happened to you!”

LUCIAN

“Tell Harley if he sends another one of you bastards, the next one won’t be leaving with legs for stepping on my territory.”

He spat out a mouthful of blood. “Harley didn’t fucking send me,” he sneered up at me. “You think Haylee is yours? She was mine before she was yours—and she will always be mine.”

There were a few cracks of laughter behind me. After all, I had just beaten the shit out of him, he was barely breathing, and the bastard thought he would bait me by saying he had claims on my wife?

“I take that back.” I peeled my vest off. “Ya won’t be walking away from this.”

“Big bad Lucian gonna get his hands dirty?” The man had the guts to laugh at me. “Bring it on.”

“Lucian!”

Fuck this cunt for thinking for a second that he could be near my wife.

“Lucian!”

“Ruby, stay back. Lucian is about to go feral.”

“It’s Haylee!” Ruby shouted, and it was the sound of her voice that caused me to turn around. “Dash just stabbed her!” I saw the blood covering Ruby’s arms.
