Sandy shook her head.“No, she’s notawake.She’s sleeping.The doctor put her under.She’ll be asleepfor a few hours yet.”
Michael walked over.“I told you notto say anything.”He folded his arms, glaring at her.
“My loyalty is to The Skulls.Youwant to get me fired, go ahead.I never really liked working hereanyway,” Sandy said, glaring behind her at Michael.Killer had alot of respect for the woman before him.
“You’re not seeing her.Idon’t care what you meant to each other.I don’t want you near mywoman.”
Moving Sandy out of the way Killer glaredat his competition.“You really think you can keep meaway?”
“I’m her next of fuckingkin.Kelsey is my responsibility.Not yours.”
Taking a step closer, Killer felt all ofhis rage build up.He’d love to take a swipe at the man in front ofhim.“You want to take this outside, then let’s fucking take it.”Killer would deal with the bastard like he’d dealt with all of hisother enemies in the past.
Michael smirked.“You bikers, you’reall the same.You have no respect for the law.I don’t see what shedoes.”
“Kelsey never spoke of you,” Tatesaid.“You think you can keep us away you’ve got another thinkcoming.”
For the first time since knowingTate, Killer was happy to have her at his side.She was a persistent one whoeventually got her way.
“Until then none of you are goingto see Kelsey.She’s not your responsibility.I’ll let her knowshe’s loved.”Michael turned away about to leave them.
All of his rage coming to thefore, Killer lashed out.He had enough of pompous men telling himwhat hecouldand could not have.His love for Kelsey was absolute.
Reaching out, he grabbed Michael’s armlanding the first blow to his face.“You want to fuck with me,fine.Don’t bring Kelsey into this.”
The next blow Michael blocked.The nursesstarted shouting, and Tate yelled along with them.Before long theywere being pulled out of the waiting room and thrown outside.Thesecurity guard glared at both of them.“I don’t give a fuck whatyour problems are.This is my hospital, and you’ll treat it withrespect.”
The guard turned away to stop thementering.
“You can’t keep me out,”Michael said.“My wife is in there.”
“Until you settle your problemsI’m not letting anyone enter this door.Every part of our hospitalis precious.I’m not having you cost us more money.”
Wiping the blood from his lip Killerstared at Michael.
“What is your fucking problem?”Killer asked.“I don’t know you, and yet you’re here pretty muchpissing on Kelsey.She just tried to kill herself, and you want tokeep me away from her.”
“She’s my wife.I have aright to care about her and her health.”
Killer couldn’t argue with him.There was so much he didn’t know about Kelsey.Shaking his head, Killer turnedaway giving the other man his back.He wished he could go back towhen Kelsey was in his arms.They’d never gotten naked together,but the heavy petting had been more than enough for him.Hersweetness caught and held him all the time they weretogether.
She almostdied.
The thought of never seeing her againpetrified him.A world without Kelsey would beunbearable.
“You throw the fact she’s yourwife around as if it actually means something,” Killer said,turning back to glare at Michael.He wouldn’t be pushed asidebecause of him.Until Kelsey told him she no longer wanted him,Killer wasn’t going anywhere.“You’ve only just come on the scene.Are you telling me you’ve been faithful to her?”
Michael broke eye contact.“I was preparedto make it more when we first got married.I was more than willingto have her by my side.I never made her any promises I wasn’tprepared to keep.She didn’t want to have anything to do with me.Ileft everything alone.All I needed was a wife, and I got it.Kelsey wanted her independence, and who am I to take it the fuckaway?”
Spitting blood out onto the pavement hekept his gaze on the other man.“You fucked everything that walked.You can deflect all the fuck you want.You’re not in love withKelsey, and you’ll never be faithful to her.Are you a criminal?Kelsey didn’t have a clue why you were wealthy.”
“She never asked what I did.Iown the company her family mortgaged the house with.Also, herfamily’s debts were known to me.I’m a businessman.A legitimatebusinessman.I own multiple companies, and I invest in small onesthat I see turn a profit.”
Staring at the other man, Killer couldsee it.Michael could sure pack a fucking punch.His jaw hurt likehell.
“Why did you marry her?”Killerasked.“If you could have anyone, why her?”
“You really want me to talkabout my decision in choosing Kelsey?”Michael laughed.
