“I have no clue.” Starting the car, she looked up at the front of the club. There were several men standing on the porch. “Look.” Larissa directed her attention to where she was staring. “You think something is going on?”

“I don’t know, but it sure looks that way.”

She backed out of the parking spot and pulled onto the main road.

“You notice Beth? She kept her phone in her hand the whole time.”

“Yes,” Larissa answered without taking her eyes off the road. “I think she had 911 on speed dial. She was terrified for Killyama, but that wasn’t anything new today. She wanted her to have the baby in the hospital. I tried to ease her worry, but nothing I said changed her mind.”

“People always have—”

Larissa shook her head. “Beth’s fear was different than what we usually hear.”

“How so?”

Larissa debated on the wisdom of what Beth had said when she had pressed her on her fears.

“Larissa?”

She had never been good at keeping secrets from her sisters. Besides, Lana might be curious to ask Beth herself.

“She said The Last Rider women don’t have easy births.”

Lana frowned. “What did she mean by that?”

“I don’t know.” When she glanced at her sister, she read the worried look on Lana’s face.

“Then I’ll damn sure be finding out.”

CHAPTER FORTY-SIX

Moon sat patiently on his bike, waiting for Larissa to arrive. She had told him last night when he had talked to her that she would be coming to stay with Killyama this morning. He hadn’t informed her when they’d talked the previous night that one of the brothers had been killed.

Knox had been able to keep the news of Pace’s death a secret, but it hadn’t been easy. He was going to release the information after they watched the security footage. The Last Riders had used all their contacts to keep the details quiet until they had a better grasp on what the fuck had gone down.

Straightening off the bike at seeing Larissa’s car pulling into the parking lot, he waited for her to get out.

“Hey,” he called out when she got within earshot.

Larissa gave him a heartwarming smile as she walked toward him. “Hey back at you.”

Moon pulled her into his arms when she would have stopped. “I missed you.” He hid his smile when she looked around to check if anyone was watching.

“I missed you, too.”

Touching the bright spot of color on her cheekbone, he couldn’t resist teasing her. “Why are you so embarrassed?”

“I’m not.”

“You could have fooled me.” Placing a casual arm over her shoulders, he started walking her toward Killyama’s house.

“I guess I’m not used to public displays of affection.”

It was everything he could do not to burst out in laughter. If she thought that brief kiss was a public display of affection, she would have a fucking heart attack if she ever attended one of The Last Riders’ parties.

“I wouldn’t call that much of a display.”

Moon felt her studying him as they walked up the path.
