Page 35 of Viper

We’d finished the security updates a few weeks ago. The new security booth was the last thing we did. I had to wait for it to be delivered and then it took us three days to get the screens installed plus all the other features.

I have other things on my agenda today. Snapping my attention back to my computer, I focus on my current task.

I’ve been trying to locate the Outlaws, but I’ve come up empty. I don’t know what rock they’re hiding under, but I will find them. I shut down my computer and head to Viper’s office. I walk in, not bothering to knock. Viper stops what he’s doing and looks up. When his eyes set on me, heat overtakes them instantly.

“Hey, babe. I had a few questions.” I walk over and give him a quick kiss and sit on the desk. Viper spreads my legs and rolls his chair in between. His hands wrap around my hips and squeeze. I have to bite back a moan. I don’t know what it is when he does that but it’s for sure an erogenous zone. Leaning back in his chair, he looks up at me with a triumphant smile. “What’s up, Hellcat?”

“Whose houses are those in the back of the property?”

“One is mine. The rest belong to Pops, Axel, Blade, Torch, and Red.”

“I didn’t know my brothers had built homes.” I’m a little shocked. I can’t believe they didn’t tell me.

“They probably didn’t tell you because they’re never there. We only started building homes, so we’d have somewhere to go when we got tired of the clubhouse. Red built his because of the kids. After the kids’ mother walked out on them, it made it easier for him to be close to the clubhouse whenever he needed help with them.”

“Cindy and Colton’s mom walked out on them?” I ask a little shocked. It makes sense now. Those two eat up any kind of female attention they can get. My heart breaks for them.

“Yup. A year after she had Colton, she walked out. Said she didn’t want to be a mom. Wanted to be free. Red never heard from her again.”

I’m fuming right now. What kind of mother just walks out on her children? I want to find this bitch. I guess Viper is getting to know me better than I thought because he starts laughing, shaking his head at me.

“Leave it be, babe. Red has moved on. No need digging up old skeletons.”

I give him a nod. He’s right. But if Red ever comes to me asking me to find the bitch, I’ll do it with no hesitation. I decide to change the subject to why I really came in here.

“So, I overheard some of the guys saying there was a party happening this weekend.”

Jace nods his head. “Yeah, we have the other charters coming in and we’ll be throwing a huge party. I’m warning you now, our parties get wild.”

“How wild are we talking?”

“Like you’ll see people have sex right in the open.”

“So, it’s just one big orgy?”

Jace barks out a laugh. “It’s not like that the entire party, but as the party goes on, people become heavily intoxicated and shit happens.”

“Okay. I’m not a prude or anything. It’s basically live porn.”

Jace is giving a full belly laugh now. “Yes, I guess you can say that. Promise me something, babe.”

“Anything,” I reply without hesitation. I would do anything for him, and I know he’d do the same.

“Stay with either me or your brothers during the party. You don’t have your property patch yet so the other chapters will think you’re fair game.”

“Okay. I can do that. I’m telling you now, if somebody does not take no for an answer, I can’t be held accountable for my actions.” I hop down off the desk and Jace stands in front of me.

“If you’re with me or your brothers, they’ll listen. Make sure you tell Sara the same thing. The guys love a new woman on the scene.”

I stand on my toes and give my man a kiss. As I’m pulling away, he grips the back of my head, keeping me in place. He kisses me for a few minutes before releasing me. I’m a little dazed after the kiss. The man always has me tied in knots.

“I’m going to let you get back to work. I’ll see you later.” I give him one more quick peck and leave the office. Walking into the common room, I see Bear, Thor, Red, and Sara sitting on the couches. I walk over and sit next to Thor. We really have become close. He gets my humor, and he really is a big-ass kid. He’s my best bud. I learned his cocky façade is just a cover up. He really has a heart of gold, but he’s been hurt. When he was nineteen, he went to propose to his girlfriend, only to find her in bed with his uncle. He left her apartment vowing to never let a woman get close again.

“Thor, I’ve been wanting to ask you how did you get your road name? I know you look like Chris Hemsworth, but it doesn’t make sense to call you ‘Thor’ because of it.” Red starts laughing and Bear actually smirks. I look at Thor and he almost looks embarrassed.

“Back when I was a prospect, we threw a costume party for Halloween. I came as Thor.”

I look at him because I know that can’t be it. “Finish the story or I will,” Red says through his laughter.
