The point out of doubtless implicating one among my sisters in Viper’s loss of life knotted my abdomen. “In fact, I’m going to inform Rage,” I snapped, zipping up the too-tight jacket he’d offered.

“Unsure that’s a wise concept,” he stated, a bit underneath his breath.

“She’s my president. Don’t you count on your males to be loyal to you?” I challenged.

“Shouldn’t we discover out extra in case she’s concerned?” he countered.

His suggestion that Rage might be concerned in Viper’s loss of life was a step too far. “If she is, I’m positive she had her causes,” I returned, making an attempt to maintain my voice even. The very concept was preposterous, and loyalty to my membership, to my president, ran deep.

“Don’t you wish to know the reality?” he pressed, turning to face me lastly.

“I’m a Heel first,” I informed him, assembly his gaze squarely. The Heelz have been my household, my loyalty to them unwavering, even within the face of uncomfortable truths.

Mounting his bike, I took the spot on the again, wrapping my arms round him out of necessity and want I couldn’t dismiss. As we rode in the direction of the hospital, the cool morning air did little to clear the turmoil of feelings swirling inside me.

Riptide’s insistence on uncovering the reality, on questioning the loyalty and motivations of my president, had opened a rift between us, a reminder of the vastly totally different worlds we inhabited. And but, regardless of my reservations, his phrases echoed in my thoughts. We have been linked now, certain by a shared purpose to unravel the thriller of Viper’s loss of life and a lot extra. However the place that connection would lead, and what sacrifices it could demand, remained to be seen.

Because the hospital loomed forward, I acquired sucked into questioning if the reality we sought would carry us nearer or tear us additional aside. For now, my allegiance to the Hell on Heelz remained my guiding star, my dedication to my membership and my president unwavering.

However after the physician cleared me, it was clear I used to be softening to Riptide’s calls for. Given some painkillers, I used to be informed to not be working heavy equipment. I questioned if my Harley certified as equipment. It was in a ditch on the freeway, one other downside for later.

“You’re coming again to my house,” Riptide stated, like he wouldn’t take no for a solution.

Chapter 9

Riptide

That experience to the hospital was an actual head-spinner. All rattling day, I’d been laying it out for Star, telling her I wished her, however she was enjoying exhausting to get, not bending to my will. However I knew it was only a matter of time earlier than I acquired what I used to be after.

With Brat holding onto me, driving bitch on my bike, it was like lightening between us, blurring the traces we’d drawn within the sand. Cruising by means of the early morning streets, her on my backseat hammered residence our difficult dance. I used to be itching for her, however she was a Hell on Heelz, off-limits by my very own rattling guidelines. But right here we have been, twisted up in the identical struggle, the identical secrets and techniques, getting caught in a snare that was getting tighter the extra we wriggled.

Submit-hospital, as soon as the docs gave her the all-clear, the truth of our tightrope stroll hit residence. I laid it out straight, informed her she was coming to my place, no arguments. We needed to hash out the mess from the Serpent’s Tail.

She tried to backpedal.

“We have to straighten issues out earlier than you hit the Roost once more,” I insisted.

Deep down, we each knew there wouldn’t be a lot speaking. Holding again together with her in my pad had been robust, not figuring out if she was actually harm. However now, together with her within the clear and ache managed, the gloves have been coming off.

“I don’t assume going to your home is wise,” she countered, her voice shaky, betraying her need.

I shrugged it off. “Superb, I’ll solo it then. I’ll piece collectively Cowgirl and Viper’s story myself. Simply hope your so-called membership’s as robust as they declare.”

That acquired her hackles up. “So-called membership? We’ve acquired one thing you guys don’t,” she shot again, her defiance lighting a spark in me. The problem was clear, and the biker in me was able to take it head-on.

“What, tits?” I snapped.

“No, we acquired brains, not such as you Slayers, all trigger-happy,” she jabbed.

I simply crossed my arms, unimpressed. “From what I’ve seen, the Heelz are simply enjoying up their pussies to maintain the lights on.”

She bristled, her chin lifting defiantly. “You calling us whores?”

I wasn’t about to get caught in that snare. “You’re coming with me. You may be my whore.”

“I’m hitting your home simply to seize my minimize,” she snapped, her lips in a cussed pout.

However when she hopped on my Harley, sliding her fingers underneath my vest, I acquired the message loud and clear. I’d been enjoying it too good, spilling my guts when what she wanted was the previous me, the man she couldn’t get sufficient of, the one who took what he wished.
