“Oh, so that’s how this is going to be? You going to drip feed me information like any one of the other hang arounds? What the hell makes you any better than Marc if this is the treatment I get?” I press my hands to my waist and glare at Leo.
“Maybe I’m not any better than Marc. But you had your run with him. Tell me where did that get you?” Leo grabs hold of my chin hard and lifts my face so that I’m looking at him. “By all means if you think you have a better chance over there with him, go for it. Just know if you walk out of here again thinking you know best, I’m not going to be so lenient with my forgiveness. You leave the Chrome Creed clubhouse, and you will become our enemy.” He lets go of my chin and takes a step back. “You wanted to be with me, this is what you get. Don’t question my authority, ever.” He stares at me for a second, waiting for me to say something, I guess. “You understand?” He barks loud enough for me to jump.
“Yeah, I get it.”
“Get some more rest.” he leaves me standing behind the door while he and Rumble walk off and continue talking about the brother that may or may not have had a hand in putting my mother in the hospital.
It feels like I’m back in the corner, stuck between a rock and hard place.
I know Leo is going to look out for me, no matter how bad he tries to act. He’s going to make sure I’m good, but I can’t just sit back and do nothing when my mother is laying on what may be her deathbed.
I’m going to find out this info one way or another, I just hope it’s not enough to get me kicked out of Chrome Creed for good.
CHAPTER 21
MINDBLOWING APOLOGIES
Leo
This is not how I wanted to start my relationship with Nisa.
Hell, the fact that I'm not splitting her in two on my cock right now doesn't sit right with me.
I've spent all this time trying to stay away from her and now that I've got her all I want is her smiling and moaning under me. Instead, I've got to be the bad guy. If she wants to be in my world she's got to learn her place.
Ever since I ordered her to keep her mouth shut last night she's been distant and moody with me. Not only is it fucking with the tension in the clubhouse but it's fucking with me. I'm not used to caring what someone thinks about me. I didn't become the president of this MC by being everyone's friend.
"Prez, I got some news." Spike walks up to me at the bar. I've been trying to drown myself in Jack so I don't have to think about Nisa sulking away in the next room.
"What's up."
Spike takes a breath and slides a paper in my direction. It's a printout of screenshots. I don't know who the texters are so I stare up at Spike waiting for him to give me more information.
"What the hell is this? Am I supposed to guess?" I snarl.
"That's messages between Marc and Rumble's brother," Spike informs me and my gut drops to my feet. We didn't want to think Rumble's brother had anything to do with what was going on with Marc and Nisa but if I was reading the text messages correctly, he definitely did. In fact, from what I was reading it was him that set the fucking fire that put Ms. Maddy in the hospital.
"Where the fuck did you get this?"
"I just backtracked the number Rumble had. It wasn't very hard." He shrugged and looked away. I knew what he was saying even without him saying the words. If Rumble wanted to find out what his brother was up to he could've.
I didn't want to think of my sergeant at arms purposefully going against the club. Rumble has been with me from the very beginning and I didn't want to have to think of him as an enemy.
"When are we on bringing him in? Seems like we're going to need to have a little bit of a family reunion." I grumble.
"You know Rumble isn't going to like that." Spike shook his head and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Right now, I couldn't give a fly fuck what he likes. Someone is attacking my family and I'm going to get to the bottom of it no matter who it hurts." The anger and tension collide so intensely in my body that it feels like my muscles are about to rip from my bones.
"Alright Prez, I hear you." Spike nods and walks off leaving me to nurse my drink at the bar.
It feels like the shit just keeps piling on. I rub at the back of my neck trying to release some of the tension but nothing I'm doing helps. There's too much going on right now and I don't feel like I'm making any headway.
I can't do anything about Rumble and his brother right now but I can do something about Nisa. My eyes dart up to mybedroom where I know she is. Taking a deep breath, I push myself off the stool and stroll my way in that direction.
Nisa is a fucking viper, I know the minute I get in there she'll be on the attack, hissing and snapping at me.
Either tonight is going to be one to remember or she's going to bite my head off. Either way, it'll give me something else to focus on.
