His head came up as I entered, and his expression went from soft to his natural scowl. “Gotta handle some club shit, baby,” he said to Stella. Then he pushed to his feet and turned, leading the way down another hallway to his office.

He knocked on Blaze’s open door as we passed by, and the VP stood to follow us. Echo, our road captain; Kevlar, our sergeant at arms; Ace, club treasurer; and Ash, our secretary, were all with him, and he motioned for them to come with us.

King stalked into his office and over to his desk, dropping into the large leather chair behind it.

Blaze went to stand next to him, casually leaning back against the wall while Ash and Ace sat on the couch opposite the conference table, where Echo, Kevlar, and I took a seat.

“Wizard?” King muttered, giving me the floor.

I glanced at Echo. “You tell ’em anything?” I didn’t want to waste time repeating anything he might have already shared, but he shook his head.

Quickly, I filled them in on the basics of Thea’s situation. Then I looked at King. “She’s good here?”

He nodded and waved off my question. “Of course. There’s nowhere safer, and we protect our own.”

I wasn’t surprised that he’d picked up on what Thea meant to me, but I was grateful because I wasn’t ready to talk about it with anyone until she and I were on more solid ground.

“You have the letters?” Ash asked, his fingers tapping on the table restlessly.

Nodding, I dropped the envelope on the table and slid it over to him.

“I’ll have my contact at the private lab to see if there are any prints to analyze.”

“Thanks,” I grunted. “I haven’t had a chance to do any more digging other than the flower shops, but I’ll give you all any information as I find it.”

“Ace, try to follow the money from the flower orders,” King instructed.

It would be hard as fuck if they were all paid in cash, but Ace had done it before, so I was hoping he could get something for me now.

“Wizard, make sure you go over every detail with Thea. What’s changed in her life? Especially around the time the stalking started,” Blaze added.

Word would make it around to all of the club brothers shortly, and anyone available would help out however they could.

Family meant something different to the Hounds of Hellfire. It was a choice, not a genetic assignment. We were a solid wall of protection, respect, and honor. If you fucked with one Hound, you fucked with them all.

When King dismissed the meeting, I decided to go check on Thea before heading to my office to get to work. I should’ve known better.

The bathroom door was shut when I walked into the room, and I heard the sound of running water.

Shit.

Thea had obviously decided to take a shower, and now, all I could think about was her wet, naked body just on the other side of that wall. I wanted to see just how much wetter she would get with my fingers, tongue, or cock in her tight little pussy.

My dick was trying to punch its way through my zipper, and I winced when I turned to shut and lock the door.

Stiffly, I moved toward my dresser, intending to get changed before Thea emerged from the bathroom. My plan to work had gone out the window. I wanted to go to bed with her, even if all I did was hold her.

I kicked off my shoes and yanked off my socks, then my T-shirt, and tossed the clothes into the hamper. Carefully, I lowered my zipper and was about to pull myself out when I heard Thea’s voice. Smiling when I saw her cell on the bedside table, I realized she was talking to herself.Fuck, she was cute.

I padded across the carpet to the door and listened.

“High Triangle? That definitely goes on the list.”

“The Wheelbarrow? It’s got potential.”

“What about The Plunge? I think she’d be into it.”

“Doggy style? Hmmm…no.”
