Page 31 of Property of Big Daddy

“Yes,” I hiss.“Everyone is looking for her now.”

He caps a palm over his bald head and rubs it thoughtfully.“I thought she’d be okay for a few minutes.I didn’t think,” he trails off.

“No, you didn’t,” I snap, but it’s not truly his fault.

“I’ll find her.”

“You better,” Sissy calls after him as he goes out the back door.Sissy and I follow after him and I see Big Daddy and Lunatic deep in conversation by the guesthouse where Hero lives.

They look up as we approach them with Doc Stevens.

“We can’t find her.We’ll need to split up and go deeper into the woods,” my man announces.

Sissy goes one direction with Doc Stevens, Lunatic goes off alone and I go in the opposite direction with Big Daddy.

She’s got to be okay.I chant repeatedly in my thoughts as we traverse over the uneven ground.

“Daisy,” I scream out her name, hearing the others doing the same off in the distance.

Big Daddy is about thirty feet in front of me when he takes off in a mad dash, sliding down an embankment.I rush after him, and what I see below breaks my heart.

My big and strong biker is on his knees in the pine needles and dirt, cradling Daisy in his arms and she isn’t moving.

“Oh no,” I whisper, touching my hand to my mouth.

My man goes to his feet, carrying her in his arms like a sleeping child.“Need to get her back to the house.Fast.Find Doc.”

“Okay.”

As he stomps past me, I notice the blood flowing down her arms.

“Damn it, Daisy,” I say under my breath, then I’m running and yelling for Doc.

Chapter Twelve

Gwyneelooksatmewith unshed tears glittering in the creases of her eyes, her hand wrapped up in Sissy’s.The two of them seemed to have bonded through the chaos of the day together.“Is she okay?”

“Doc seems to think she’ll recover, but she needs more care than we can give her.He knows a place that will take her in.”

“That’s good.”My woman looks hopeful, and so does my girl.

It’s been a long fucking day that’s wearing on all of us.“You still want me to drive you home?”

“I don’t care if you stay,” Sissy tells her.

“Thanks, but I should probably go home and get dinner and a shower.”

“How about I treat you both to dinner and we can drop you home after?”

“Can we get Mi Hacienda?”Sissy questions and I glance at my watch.

“That okay with you?”I ask Gwynee.

“Yeah, sure.Whatever you guys want.”

“We’ll take the cage.”

Her brows shoot up to her forehead.“The cage?”
