Page 55 of Property of Camo

I know that both Rocky and Clark love Skyla, she is their family and they would die for her. The four of them have a bond that cannot be broken.

Skyla shakes her head before looking back to me. Her nostrils flare with anger, and her hands drop to her sides as she clenches her tiny fists tightly.

“They had no right. It is my problem and I am dealing with it, with the help of Tate,” she hisses, showing her agitation.

“We had every right,” Rocky calls out.

“You shut your mouth; I will deal with you later. I can’t believe that you went behind my back.” She may be angry, but you can hear the hurt in her voice.

“They had every right, baby. They were looking out for you and know that the club and I can protect you,” I interject, making her look to me again.

“You and your club will not get involved— there is no reason for you to. Just go, Camo. The police are helping me deal with the situation.”

I scoff, which makes her glare harder and I smirk at her.

“The police can only do so much, baby.”

“STOP CALLING ME THAT,” she snaps, screaming at me. “I am not your anything, you made fucking sure of that when you fucked a club girl in front of the whole club and me. You have no say in my life anymore.”

My heart stutters in my chest seeing and hearing the pain in her words.

I inch closer but she steps back.

“No. I do not want the Kings’ help.” She sighs, tears filling her eyes and it breaks my fucking heart, as she delivers the final blow. “Or yours. Leave me to move on, Camo. I am not yours to protect. It seems I never was.”

A growl builds in my chest and vibrates up into my throat, and Skyla’s eyes go wide. We are locked in a stare and I do not want to break it. Looking away from her means she wins and I have to leave.

“Brother, let’s go, yeah?” Halen speaks up, stepping between us, breaking my focus, which shifts to him.

I snarl at him, baring my teeth, which makes him shake his head.

“Calm it. You are scaring her; she has already had a scare.” He lowers his voice. “We will deal with it.”

Eva steps to her friend, pulling her close, and I see that both men have joined them, surrounding my girl, which pisses me off because it should be me comforting her.

But you hurt her, dickface.

“I won’t leave you unprotected, baby. A prospect will be your shadow until we sort this shit out.” My voice is low and I force the rage down, so I do not add to her current emotional state.

Stepping closer, I ignore the glares from her friends. She lets me cup her jaw, my thumb brushing over her bottom lip, and it pleases me to see her shiver from my touch.

“Hate me all you want, it is warranted. I fucked up, and I own that whole mess and I know that it will take me the rest ofmy life to get you to forgive me. Begging and groveling is in my future, baby. You are the strongest woman I have ever met, Skyla and you are beyond perfect to be mine.” I lean in closer, my lips touching the shell of her ear.

“You are mine, and I will make it up to you. My soul calls to you, Skyla Delmont. My mate.” She gasps, which makes me grin.

Kissing her cheek, letting my lips linger longer than normal and I swear to fuck she sighs, before I step back.

“Toad will stay here and will follow you home every night. No arguments on this, you will not win. Give me this, babe.”

She goes to speak up but Rocky cuts her off.

“We will take the extra security, thank you.”

Skyla says nothing, just keeps looking at me.

Smirking, I say, “See you soon, baby. Be a good girl and try not to give my prospect a hard time, okay?”

“No promises.” She shrugs, and I chuckle, making her eyes flash wide.
