“So what do you want us to do, boss?” Trevy asks as he leans forward.

“I need to know if everyone would be up for helping me keep her safe for the next few weeks while I find this fucker.” I look up at them all. They can see how serious I am. I never ask them for shit.

Dev stands up. Fuck, she hates me. I know this is going to go over so fucking well. I roll my eyes to myself.

“This shithead got himself into this situation, and it’s not our fucking problem to babysit his girl.” She walks to the front of the group. My hackles go up as she looks over at me. “But, he’s family, and we protect our own, and she’s his girl. So even though this isn’t our fight, we’re going to do what this club does best, and fucking fight.” She turns to me, looking at me with determination. “I’m with you bud. I’m not going to let some fucker hassle Oli. She’s a sweetheart. She doesn’t fucking deserve this.”

Joel stands up. “You know the drill guys, this is not a mandatory thing. If you want to be a part of it, raise your hands.”

I look at them as they all pause for a second. Dev’s hand goes up and she looks at me with love in her eyes. I really didn’t expect anything good from her at all. It honestly made me almost tear up.

Brit’s hand goes up, followed by Meg’s, and Lucy’s. Once all the women’s hands are up, the rest of the club’s hands go up.

Fuckers.

“Didn’t think the ladies would be the first ones to help me with this, but thank you.” I turn to Dev and take her hand. “I appreciate you all so fucking much. Thanks, Dev.”

She rips her hand away from me with a glint in her eye. Pulling her arm back, she balls her fist and it flies at my face. It makes contact with my jaw as she punches me, my head whipping to the side from the impact.

“Don’t get sappy and shit with me, fucker.” She grins as I wipe the blood away from my lip she just split open.

“Fuck you. Love you too, Dev.” She smiles at me and goes to sit down.

Joel stands up. “Alright, let’s get a game plan going.”

Chapter 17

Jayce

Waking up with Oli next to me after all this time away from her is pure bliss. I look over at her, hair a mess all over her face. Her mouth gapes open as drool puddles under her, soaking her pillow. Her cute bear-like snores fill the room. Fuck. I love this woman.

I get out of bed and make my way to the bathroom. After I get through all my business, shit, shower, shave. I grab my phone and text Zander.

Do we have a plan?

I know he met with the club yesterday, he was supposed to bring food over last night but didn’t show. He texted saying he wasn’t feeling great, so Oli and I went down to see him in the bar when he came into work. He wasn’t able to talk about anything that went down with the club there with Oli but told me to text him about it today, so here we are.

Yeah, the club is good. Also, a dude followed me after I left the club yesterday. I got his plate and car description, but that’s the real reason I didn’t come over. I didn’t want anyone to follow me to Oli.

Fuck, things are escalating.

He sends the picture of the car and the plate number. I forward it to one of my friends who knows what’s happening. I can’t tell many people about this, but I helped his wife get out from some serious shit with a gang while keeping things off the books, so he owes me and I know he won’t go to the department with this shit.

It’s being run right now, I’ll have the info back in about ten minutes. Where did you go with them following you?

I need all the details to be able to figure this whole thing out.

I drove them out to the dry lake bed. Didn’t think they would follow me all the way out there but they did. When we got to the lake bed, I was about to get out of the car and go beat their asses, but they flipped a bitch and took off.

Don’t do that shit again, you need to tell me or someone else when this is happening. What if you got hurt?

Shit, do I care about this guy? Why do I care if he would have gotten hurt?

Awww I knew daddy Jayce liked me. It’s okay, I will make sure to come home to you and Oli. (Kissy face emoji)

I roll my eyes. Gods dammit. I’m not going to live that one down for a while.

Just tell me next time fucker. Oli will be upset if you get hurt.
