Page 39 of Viper

“Yeah, it’s like that,” Viper snarls with a look of fury, begging for someone to try him.

“Where’s her property cut?” a man named Tats ask. His patch readsEnforcer.

“It hasn’t made it here yet, but make no mistake. Cara. Is. Mine.”

Most of the men nod, but a few look like they’re going to push their luck. “What about blondie over there?” Crow asks.

Sara takes a step back. Her back is flush against Bear, and he growls. He has a look on his face that lets them know he means business. Crow throws his hands up in surrender and laughs. “I get it. Stick to the bunnies,” he says.

Out of nowhere, one of the bunnies rushes forward, pushes me out of the way, and throws herself around Viper.Oh, hell no! The bitch doesn’t know who she’s playing with. I quickly snatch the bitch off my man and throw her to the ground. Before she can get up, I bring my stiletto down on her throat.

“Mine!” I growl. Great. Now I sound like Viper. Seeing her wrap herself around my man did something to me.

Viper grabs me and pulls my back against his chest. “Yes, I am, Hellcat. Calm down, baby. They don’t know I’m a taken man,” he soothes.

The bunny rubs her throat while looking up at me with wide eyes. She scrambles to her feet and hurries back to the van. “I bet the bitch knows now.” I’ve never growled this much in my life, but I’m just as territorial as Jace. Maybe worse.

He chuckles against my neck. After the introductions are made, everyone goes inside. I learned Crow is the prez of the Tennessee chapter. I met his VP, Texas, and his enforcer, Tats. I also met a few other members. Viper was by my side every step of the way. Later in the day, we meet the Louisiana chapter. I met the prez, Razor, his VP, Ghost, and the enforcer, Daredevil. Most of them seem cool. A few flirted with me, but I could tell it was just to mess with Viper. As evening set, everyone gets ready for the party. I’m in Sara’s room getting ready. She didn’t feel comfortable with all these strange men in the clubhouse, so I came and got ready with her.

My sister is wearing a black crop top with a leather jacket. She paired it with skinny jeans and black thigh-high boots. She has her blonde hair pulled into a neat ponytail. She has light makeup on. The look has her looking like some kind of an angelic biker chick.

I, on the other hand, am in full sex-kitten mode. I want to drive Jace crazy. I am wearing tight leather pants with a sleeveless leather crop top that’s cut up in the front, showing off a little boob. My hair is curled down my back and I have a smokey eye look going on. I walk over to my room and grab a pair of black stilettos. Once I have them on, Sara and I leave the room.

Walking into the common room, we see the party has already started. We quickly spot our brothers at the bar, and we walk over. Thank God, nobody stops us. Chris and Cam give us their seats. “What ya drinking tonight, ladies?” Bobby shouts over the music.

“Crown and Coke,” Sara tells him.

“Sprite for me.” Sara turns to me with confusion, and I shrug. My stomach has been in knots all day. I guess the stress of the party and all the warnings Jace kept giving me had me more nervous than I thought. I’m goofing off with my siblings when I feel a pair of arms wrap around me. I know it’s Jace. I can smell him. Plus, I know how my man’s arms feel around me.

“Are you trying to drive me crazy?” he growls against my neck.

“I take it you like the outfit?”

“Like? I fuckin’ love it! But I’m going to love it more when I’m ripping it from your body.”

I shiver and turn around, bringing my lips to his. He devours me right there at the bar, almost like he’s marking his territory. I can’t say I mind it. I don’t want any of these men to get any ideas.

Later in the night, there is a group of us outside surrounding a bonfire. I’m sitting in Jace’s lap, looking at the stars. I feel my bladder alerting me it’s time to go hit the bathroom. I start to stand and Jace stops me.

“Where are you going?”

“I need to use the bathroom.”

“I’ll go with you.” He starts to stand, and I place my hand on his shoulder to stop him. “Babe, the bathroom is right by the common room. Just call Bobby and tell him to look out for me. I’ll be fine. You forget your woman is fully capable of defending herself?”

“I don’t know, baby.” He looks unsure, like he’s having an internal battle over the situation.

“I’ll be fine,” I reassure him. He relents, calls Bobby and tells him to look out for me. I get up and start walking for the side door of the clubhouse. All of a sudden, a napkin is placed over my nose and mouth, and I’m being dragged toward the wooded area. I’m kicking and bucking, trying to get away. This fucker is strong. I drive my elbow into his gut, and he lets me go. I make a move to run but I’m not fast enough. He grabs me and throws me to the ground. I look up and see the prospect from earlier. The one who gave me the creeps. And like the creep he is, he has a creepy smile on his face.

The chances of the prospects seeing this on the cameras are slim. They’re set on rotation. There are only four monitors in the booth. Add in the fact that there is a party going on, yeah, I’m not holding my breath on them picking this up.

“I heard you used to be a bunny. You must have some magic pussy to make Viper claim you. I know he won’t care once I get what I need from you. Bunnies are replaceable.” He laughs at the statement. He has no idea how wrong he is.

Who the hell told him I used to be a bunny? Before I can reply, he pounces on me. He’s on top of me, trying to rip my clothes off. Whatever was on that napkin is doing its job. I’m getting dizzy. I have to fight. I punch him right in his nose, breaking it. Wrong move. That pisses him off. I feel his fist come down on my face repeatedly. My face goes numb.

I have to get out of here. I’m fighting to stay conscious. I bring my knee right to his balls and push him off me. I start crawling away from him. As I’m crawling, I reach into my pocket and grab my special whistle. It’s a dog whistle that alerts Duke and Daisy that I need them. I had it made when I was putting them through training. It’s silent for us but with their hearing, it's loud. I bring it to my mouth and blow as hard as I can. The prospect grabs my ankles and drags me back. I hope they find me in time. Then everything goes dark. I hope they find me in time.
