"Nisa, I'm not a gentle man, you better be fucking sure you're ready for this." He snarls at me, letting my throat go to bury his hands in my hair and tug back.

"Yes, I need you. Yes." I nod as best I can.

The fates must not want Leo and me together because before I can get his belt off, Spike is banging on the door.

"Leo, we need to roll. They hit our safe house."

"Fuck, not now!" Leo groans out, but pushes my hands away. "Which one?"

"We need to go... it's Ms. Maddy. We need to go."

Pure bliss is replaced with absolute fear. My mom.

Even protected, I'll never be free of him.

CHAPTER 19

IS IT ONE OR TWO?

Leo

"What the fuck are you talking about?" I pull my hand out from between Nisa's legs as she's yanking her pants back into place.

"What's going on?" Nisa calls out and tries to push me off, so she can get out the door.

This is all like a fucking nightmare. She just had one close call with her mother and now this.

Her mother has already been through a lot of shit thanks to this Marc motherfucker. When we put Ms. Maddy in the safe house, it was to make sure she was shielded from this shit. There's no way that Marc could've gotten this information. Nisa didn't even know the information. Now I need to figure out how the hell he found out where we were hiding her.

"Hold on, Nisa." I grab hold of her and try to settle her down.

"No, fuck that, I'm not going to hold on. I need to get to my mom." She tries to push me back again, but her feeble attempt does nothing to me. The woman can barely stand upright since her brush with death a few days ago. Couple that with the powerful orgasm that just ripped through her body, and she'snot going to get more than five feet away from me. She's not going to be able to push me off, no matter how much she tries.

"Damn it, you need to take a breath. We're going to her. Trust me, Nisa." I look her in the eyes, doing my best to let her know that I'm not just going to stand back and let this shit go down.

Unfortunately, the last time I let her run off, she nearly got herself killed. We need more information, we need to come up with a fucking plan.

I fix my hard dick in my pants and both of us open the door to see my club already getting ready to ride.

"What do we know?" I bark out as I make my way out of the room, pulling Nisa behind me.

"They went old school, Leo. Fucking Molotov cocktails. No one got a good look at who it was and by the time anyone was able to get inside the house Ms Maddy had already inhaled a lot of smoke. Her lungs weren't in the best shape to start with from the fire the other day. They have her in the ICU. She hasn't woken up yet." Rumble says and I feel Nisa crumbling behind me.

"Oh god, this is my fault. I'm going to get my family killed. I have to go." She tries to pull away from me, but I snatch her hand, so she pulled back into my chest.

"You listen to me good, you're not going to even attempt to fucking run back to Marc. I don't care if the asshole threatens to blow up the entire world if you don't. Don't let me find out that you've gone against my wishes, either, or we're going to have much more than one problem on our hands. I snarl at her and watch as she clenches her jaw tight. Nisa has always been a very head strong individual. She's used to doing things her own way and making her own trouble, but now that I've claimed her as my old lady that shit is coming to an end, especially if that means I have to protect her from a fucking man that seems to want nothing more than to destroy Chrome Creed.

Her eyes are swimming in tears, but she doesn't let them fall. When she doesn't have any other argument, I turn back to my club to get more information.

"Doc, you have any intel at the hospital, anyone in there that we can trust right now?" I ask and he nods.

"Yeah, I have a nurse practitioner I've been in close contact with. I know she's down for us. She's not going to hold anything back from us." He says.

"Good, reach out to her and ask if she can see anyone waiting around the building. Anyone who seems like they're looking for us. If it's all clear, then half of us will go over there to check on Ms. Maddy while the other half will go to the safe house and find out if this is Marc and his people or something else is going on." I say.

"What the hell do you mean if anything else is going on? What more could be going on. I already told you this is Marc. It's his way of getting me to come out of hiding." Nisa tries to pull away from me again, but my vice-like grip keeps her in check.

"We don't know that, Nisa. And to be honest, it doesn't make much sense. Why the hell would he just light the place on fire and not try and get your mother? He doesn't know where this safe house is, and neither do you. Unless you think your mother might have had some reason to reach out to him. I'm not seeing the connection as to Marc and this shit right here."
