Page 15 of Torch's Torment

Capone glares at Rose and Jax and nods his head. Jax moves next to Rose and has his arm around her waist, pulling her flush against his body. The resemblance between us is uncanny. It’s like I’m staring into a mirror, only darker eyes and fewer tattoos staring back. Even the slight bump on the left side of his head is in the same spot as mine.

I run my hand over my head and release a deep breath. Rose opens her lips to speak but glances at Jax. He squeezes her hip and dips his head.

Rose makes direct eye contact with me, “Jax is your twin brother.”

I snarl and stand quickly, slamming my chair into the wall behind me. “Prez?” My voice is breaking along with my world shattering around me. But I won’t disrespect my patch or my Prez.

“Go, Torch.”

With the final word from my Prez, I storm out of Church and slam my fist against the walls as I walk down the hallway. Rage. Pure unadulterated rage pours out of me. Daisy comes running out of the kitchen with Danyella, Monica, Nina and Aerial behind her. Danyella ushers the two little ones back into the kitchen when she sees me about to lose my shit.

“Torch.” Daisy steps next to me and settles her hand on my arm. “Talk to me.” The warmth of her hand penetrates through the rage rumbling through my body.

“Let’s go.” I grab Daisy’s arm and we walk down the corridor toward my bike. Daisy doesn’t say a word and grabs a helmet resting on a hook on the wall. It’s like she knows what I need and that is her with me. The thought stops me for a beat. I strap my helmet on, straddle my bike and fire her up. Daisy climbs on the back and wraps her arms around my waist. Her body flush against my back. I roll my bike out of the garage and head toward the gates. A prospect spots me from the roof and opens them before I have to stop. I pass through, check both ways on the road for cars and gun my bike, trying to outrun the pain and rage of my world shattering around me. Daisy wraps her arms tighter around me as I shift gears and pick up speed.

We merge onto the PCH heading north. I open the throttle and take my bike as hard as she can handle until she taps out. Daisy is squeezing my waist and a squeal leaves her lips. This is what I need. After learning Rose’s fuck buddy is my twin, my head has been fucked up. Did anything we have mean anything to her or did she use me because I reminded her of her safety at home? And speaking of home, how was my twin brother kept from me all these years? There’s one man who’ll have answers to that one. That means I can’t kill him right away like I want to. Son of a bitch.

Daisy’s hands roam up and down my stomach close to my cock reminding me she’s been here the whole time. Waiting for me to make up my mind. No matter what I’ve done or with who, Daisy has always had my back. She deserves better than me. Rose’s words from earlier ring in my head and she’s right. I’ve been denying it this whole time, but my heart knew Daisy was the one I need. The one I’ve always wanted. The one on my mind every day, all day no matter where I was or what I was doing, it’s been Daisy. Even though I’ve been an asshole, she’s stuck by me.

Daisy’s hands are teasing the fuck out of me and I’m loving it. I pull off into a secluded spot overlooking the ocean. Not many people know about this spot and it’s just the way I like it for what I’m about to do. The wind blows against my heated skin and the sound of the waves crashing against the ocean below brings me peace. Trees are surrounding us and a small picnic table overlooking the ocean near the cliff. The path to get here is narrow and not made for cars.

Turning off my bike, I push my kickstand down and settle my bike on it. I remove my brain bucket and hang it on the handlebars. The engine ticks, cooling down. Daisy climbs off the back o and her legs are a little wobbly from the ride. I wrap my arm around her, holding her steady.

“You good?”

“Yeah. Had to get my legs working right.” Daisy unclips her helmet and sets it on the seat. I climb off behind her and walk to the edge of the cliff. “Can you tell me what’s going on now?”

Daisy comes up behind me and wraps her arms around my waist. I turn and pull her against my front. I kiss the top of her head.

“I don’t know how or why, but apparently I have a twin brother.” Daisy sucks in a deep breath and she hasn’t heard all of it. “And he’s Rose’s fuck boy. They’ve been together for years. Rose knew the whole time she’s been here I had a twin and the deception really burns my ass.”

“Did she say why she didn’t tell you?”

“No. I left before I could hear any more lies coming out of her mouth. As far as I’m concerned, she’s done. The sooner she packs her shit and gets the fuck out of the Clubhouse the better.”

I’m so enraged at Rose for hiding this from me, I can’t think straight. I really thought we had something no one else had, but apparently I reminded her of her Ol’ man back home and she used me. Used my body and tried stealing my heart when it didn’t belong to her in the first place.

“Maybe, and I’m not defending Rose so don’t take it like I am. But maybe you should hear them out.” Daisy picks her head up off my chest and stares into my eyes. I look for pity but there isn’t any, only love and trust. “I mean, you have a twin brother. Maybe you should get to know him before they leave. Who knows when you’ll see him again. I’d be ecstatic to know I had a brother or a sister for that matter.”

“You’re right. But the last time I trusted a blood brother, I was set up. What if I do and it happens again?” I voice my fear.

“Then I’ll cut his nuts off and feed them to him for hurting you.” Daisy giggles and my jaw drops open. “Oh, don’t be shocked, Torch. I’ve been around you long enough to know what you guys do. You might think I’m innocent but I’m not. I’ve had to dirty my hands living on the streets for so long. It wasn’t until you guys rescued me that I felt like I belonged.”

Daisy’s attractiveness just rose about one hundred percent. I lean in and brush my lips against hers. Daisy opens her mouth and allows my tongue entrance. Here is a woman who will defend me and have my back no matter what.

As we kiss, Daisy wraps her arms around my neck and I pick her up. She wraps her legs around my waist pushing her heated pussy against my throbbing cock. I break the kiss and pepper kisses down her throat. A low rumble vibrates my lips when it rips from Daisy’s throat.

“Wait, Torch.” I stop kissing her and hold still wondering if she’s experiencing PTSD or something.

Daisy untangles herself from my grip and places her soft hands against my face. “You need closure before we take this any further, Torch. You need to go talk to Rose and your twin. Then when you get what you’re looking for, come find me. With as much as I don’t want to, I need this for you. You need this for you. So, when we do take that next step, we’re both in it together.” Daisy leans up on her tiptoes and presses a soft kiss to my lips. “Come on. Let’s head back to the Clubhouse and you can close this door if it’s what you want.”

Holy fuck. I never thought I’d hear Daisy say this. I never thought she’d’ be the one to put things into perspective for me. “You’re right. I’m sorry, Daisy.”

“For what?”

“For being a hot and cold asshole to you.”

“I get it. You’ve been put into a situation you’ve never been in.” My hands grip Daisy’s waist and I pull her against me. “But you need to figure out what you want before we go any further. Torch I’ve been battling myself trying to get you to notice me. I’ve tried everything I could think of to get you to want me the way you want Rose. But what I’ve realized, I need to step back and you need closure from her before you move forward with me.”
