“That’s the one,” I say with a smile, and Cage laughs a little, shaking his head, and I ask, “I take it you’re close with the club?”
He clears his throat, not making eye contact for a minute, which is weird, before he nods and admits, “I uh, I run the night club for them,” and I smile and nod.
Guess he was worried about what I thought about him being affiliated with the Rebels, and honestly, I don’t mind. Every brother I’ve met so far has been sweet, and the amount of good they do in town makes them good in my books, plus, my dad is friends with some of the brothers, so they can’t be that bad.
Shaking his head Cage leans forward and asks, “What does your day look like today,” changing the subject but I don’t mind as I smile automatically and admit, “I’m meeting my little sisterat the mall at one so she can spend my entire pay check,” and he grins wide before asking, “What days are you working this week? I want to take you out on a date.”
I melt as I lean forward a little bit, my heart pounding at how easy it is to talk to him, showing it wasn’t just sexual chemistry between us. We begin talking shifts, arranging a night when he can take me out, just him and me, and I, for one, am looking forward to it.
Chapter 5
Stone – A Week Later
I tap my leg as the boys shoot the shit with the Devil’s and Huntsmen brothers while waiting for the Untamed brothers to show up.
Doc, Axel, the pres of the Untamed, Steal, the pres of the Huntsmen and Snake, the pres of the Devil’s all had a phone meeting two days ago and decided it was just easier for all of us to meet at the same time to save multiple trips. That and Axel mentioning needing time away before he killed his old lady then himself because he can’t live without her – his words not mine.
Snake and Steal need ammo, which we supply to them while Axel is delivering the drugs to us, so we can then ride them to the Cartel before they fly them out from a private base. We’ve already swapped two vans with Steal and Snake, but Axelis running a little behind after his old lady Annalise put blue powder shit in his exhaust.
Turns out she found out about our meetings at the strip clubs and was not happy about it, though Axel claims he told her, but she just forgot.
She’s pregnant and is most likely hormonal and forgetful, again his words not mine. Huh, maybe that is why she fucked with his bike if those are the words he’s saying.
Fucker knocked her up with their second kid, surely he knows the routine with her hormones by now.
“I swear Axel has his hands full,” Anchor, our brother says, while Anchor from the Huntsmen MC, because yeah, they have the same road name, but not for the same reasons, snorts, “We all do. Annalise has made friends with every single woman in our club, and we’re all fucked. My old lady actually went out and bought a snake to hide under the sheets after I pissed her off.”
Everyone laughs as his brother Acid chokes, “It was fucking hilarious, he ran out of his room squealing like a little girl,” causing everyone to laugh harder and I smile and shake my head, laughter not really in me at the moment. I know Dirty has noticed I’m off a little by the constant looks he keeps giving me, and I am, my mind is on Rose.
A week, I’ve known her for a week, yet thoughts of her consume me.
Three days ago, I took her out to the movies three towns over, not willing the chances of bumping into Elsie or worse my sister and it was amazing. We clicked instantly, laughed, flirted then spent the night in her bed, my cock firmly inside her the whole night and when I woke, it was still inside her, hard, ready for round five.
I haven’t seen her since, but we’ve texted a lot, getting to know each other more, and guilt fills me.
She doesn’t know I’m married, even if it is only on paper. She doesn’t know I’m club because, of course, her dad is friends with mine, which is a fucking shocker. I feel bad keeping the truth from her, but I know that as soon as she knows about Elsie, even if it is just on paper, she will walk away.
She’s never had a boyfriend, only slept with me and one other fucker who put her off sex, and she’s a family girl. She has morals which include ‘no fucking married men’ or dating them.
I need to figure out how to get a divorce without upsetting the dynamics between Dad and James. If Dad did sleep with James’ wife, and that is the reason why he wants me to stick with it with Elsie, then he’s just going to have to speak to Mama because I’m done with his threats where that fucking woman is concerned.
“Brother, you good?” Anchor says, and I look up and lock eyes with my brother and nod once, but he frowns, clearly not believing me. “Is it Rose?” he asks, and I swallow but nod slightly.
The brothers are aware of her, well, the officer brothers are. I don’t want the whole club knowing, I don’t fucking want my sister, Elsie, or my dad knowing. Not until I can figure out how to navigate everything without losing my girl because she is mine, and already I feel like I need her to breathe.
Mama was right, when you meet the one, you won’t want to let her go. Fuck, I’ve only been seeing Rose for a week, and I already want to grab her tightly and never let her go.
“Who is Rose?” Acid asks, and I wince as I look at him and admit, “My girl.”
He frowns as Anchor, the Huntsman brother, asks, “Isn’t your wife’s name Elsie?”
I nod, and his brows hit his hairline as, Breaker, from the Devil’s MC starts laughing, already catching up, and I drop my chin and mumble, “Fucker,” only making him and everyone else laugh, enjoying my predicament.
“Does your girl know you have an unwanted wife?” Snake asks, and I look at the bald fucker and shake my head, and that does it.
Everyone stops laughing and looks at me with wide eyes while Snake winces as I admit, “She doesn’t even know I’m part of the club, only knows that I grew up with them. Doc works with her and encouraged her to go to Rebel’s Phoenix, knowing I was going to be there.”
“He set you both up?” Acid asks with a grin, and I nod, making him chuckle.
