Page 6 of Ripper's Property
“Relax, Rip. I’ve always thought of her as a niece. I love her like family. But I will say this, if you ever do anything to hurt her, or put that sad look on her face again, I will kill you in your sleep. You’re my brother. But that girl… She’s my little princess.”
I’m not going to hurt her again. Lesson fucking learned.

Rory
“Hey, Dad.”
“What’s wrong, Rory?” His alarmed voice blares through the line and it hits me that I’m calling him in the middle of the night. I didn’t give thought to what time it is. I’m just so upset and needed to talk to him.
“Nothing’s wrong. Sorry, did I wake you?”
“Nah, you didn’t wake me. I was just um…hanging out.” In other words, he was busy fucking a sweetbutt. Once again, I’m pissed off. Can’t any of these men keep their dicks in their pants?
“Sorry, I’ll hang up so you can um…get back to it.”
“Nah, it can wait. My daughter always comes first.”
Now, I just feel like an idiot. My dad was busy getting some, is probably still naked, and I’m going to have a conversation with him about my teenage woes.
“So, how come you’re calling me in the middle of the night? You never want to talk to your pops.” He’s right. I usually alwaystalk to Ripper. But I can’t turn to that jerk anymore. Especially not with this matter because he’ll tell me no.
I’m just gonna come right out and say it. “I want you to get rid of Cherry, Dad.” There’s no reason to skirt around the issue. I don’t like her, and I don’t want her here. And if Ripper has a problem with it, so be it. If I can’t date any of the prospects, then he can’t fuck his little toy.
“You want to tell me why?”
“Because she’s a bitch and is always rude to me. She’s always calling me a spoiled brat when you guys aren’t around and is downright mean.” I never did anything to her, but she’s been rude since the day she showed up. This is my home. My family. And yet, she acts like the queen of the place.
“I didn’t know she was givin’ you shit. You should’ve told me; I would’ve nipped that in the bud real fast. I’ll have words with Ripper and make sure Cherry’s gone tomorrow.” I can’t help but smirk. Now Ripper’s favorite toy will no longer be around for him to fuck.
“Anything else, princess?” The rest will wait until he gets back. I don’t want to talk to him over the phone about needing some freedom; he’s just gonna say no.
“No, that’s all. Miss you, Daddy.”
“Miss you too, princess. You behave and I’ll check in with you in a few days.”
“Okay, love you.”
I hang up the phone and stick my tongue out at Ripper’s wall.Touché, motherfucker.

Ripper
“King.” I grip my phone tight as I take the call. Rory told me she was going to call her dad, tell him she wants to date a prospect. Based on the fact that he’s calling me in the middle of the night, I take it she did. I wonder what else she told him. Fuck.
“Just got off the phone with my girl.” My jaw clenches tighter, bracing for the ass ripping I’m about to receive. My only saving grace is the one thousand miles between us. He can’t rip my head off if she told him about me reading her diary. “She was upset, saying Cherry’s been givin’ her shit. What the fuck’s been going on? Those girls need to know their place in the club. Otherwise, I’ll be banning sweetbutts from the clubhouse. Now, I want her out.”
Doesn’t sound like Rory shared the real reason of why she’s upset. Which I’m thankful for. Goes to show that she still has asoft spot for me underneath all that anger because she saved my ass.
“She’ll be packing her bags tomorrow,” I tell him. I’ll be doing the honors first thing in the morning. Should’ve done that tonight when she called my girl a brat. I could see the hatred in her eyes, burning toward my princess, so it doesn’t come as a huge surprise that she’s giving my girl grief.
“Good. And tell the others that if they so much as look at Rory wrong, they’ll be gone too. Now, I’m gonna get some shut-eye. I’ll be checkin’ in tomorrow to get more details on what you found out about the meth lab. And then we need to put a plan in place. Montoya needs to fucking die.”
I’ve already got a plan. If anyone is motivated to get that motherfucker, it’s me. I can’t claim my girl until he’s no longer breathing, and with the state my dick is already in, I need him gone stat.
“We’re going to get him this time,” I seethe. “Mark my word. He’s not getting away.” Tomorrow, I’m gettin’ cameras in place and eyes on him.
