The fire house would be onto this soon. I slipped out the back door and ran back to the city centre to head home, minus one car that I really fucking loved.

Ronan down, Saverio down, Tomas down, Amity down.

Now I needed to send a message to anyone else who wanted to fuck with us.

Chapter Fourteen

Lorcanandhisbrotherswere drinking in the corner booth. The clubhouse was a party, because they knew the next couple of days was going to be insane. Teeghan had already organised for us to stay in an airbnb down south, in a small town where no one knew us. It was safer, as she explained, and they could focus on the task at hand.

I was all for leaving the fighting to the boys. I knew Teeghan liked it, and she was good too, but I didn’t like what it did to me. I was more than happy to hang at a seaside cottage until this all blew over and I could spend the rest of my days tangled up in everything Lorcan.

Now, that was worth the wait.

Teeghan slunk over to the bar and sat down next to me. “You’re not drinking?”

“I don’t want to get drunk,” I said. “I want to keep my wits about me.”

“That’s probably smart,” she said, downing the rest of her drink. “But I like to be a little dizzy at all times. Helps with the fucked up situation we find ourselves in.”

I understood the feeling but I also had no idea what we were celebrating. I was going to have to leave Lorcan and hang out and just wait for news to see if he survives or not.

“They’re enjoying themselves,” Teeghan said. “You should too.”

I smiled at her until she slid off her chair and moved back over to Sloane and a few of the women of the clubhouse. I couldn’t seem to get in the mood to play. I stepped outside to get some fresh air, and almost collided with Ace.

“Hey there, darlin’,” he held his hand out to catch me if I fell. Luckily, I am pretty steady footed. “You good?”

“Yeah, just needed some air.”

“It can be a little loud in there,” he chuckled. “Do you want me to get them to bring you something to eat and drink out here?”

“No, I’m good. I just need a couple minutes.”

He nodded, and headed inside. The air was crisp, so I wrapped my arms around myself as I paced the front porch of the clubhouse. It was so peaceful here, deep in the forest. No one would find you unless they knew you were here.

It was kind of awesome. It didn’t hold a candle to the estate though. That place was amazing, and so rich in culture. It also had a killer view of the ocean from Lorcan’s room.

“You all good?”

Lorcan’s deep voice broke me from my reverie. I turned to see him coming out the door.

“You don’t seem to be in pain.”

“I am,” he said. “But it’s bearable. The liquor helps.”

I rolled my eyes at him as I moved up to him and hugged him. His giant arms wrapped around me and instantly warmed me from the inside.

“Want to get out of here?” he asked me, his voice but a whisper in my hair.

“Like you wouldn’t believe.”

“Come on,” he said, taking my hand. He led me to one of the cars and I realised he probably shouldn’t be driving but hell, I trusted him.

I’d go just about anywhere with this man.

Lorcan
