“Come here.” Blackout lies down next to me and opens his arms.
“I'm a mess.” I slide a finger through the cum on my breasts, and almost laugh at how quickly their eyes lock to it.
“Yeah, but you’re our mess.”

WILLOW
When the doorslams open and someone comes stomping in. I scream in surprise, clutching the sheets to me. Blackout bounces off the bed to see who it is, not caring one bit that he could knock someone out with his morning wood.
“Willow still here?” Skyhigh's voice is asking and he's not sounding happy.
Did I do something? He's not jealous, is he? They promised me that wasn't a thing, and so far they've acted like that's true. But if not that, then what?
“Yeah? What the fuck's going on?” Blackout steps back, inked arms crossed over his chest, making room for Skyhigh to come around the corner and see me.
Angry or not, Skyhigh pauses a moment when he sees that all I'm wearing is Blackout's sheet. He grins. “Looks like I missed out on a good time last night.”
“The day’s still young.” Blackout gestures at the bed, looking ready to hop back in for a three-way.
Skyhigh shakes his head. “Hellfire wants all of us up in his office. Including you, Willow.”
“Me? Why does he want to talk to me? Am I in trouble?”
“Not exactly. Hellfire thinks you might have some info that could be useful, and he wants to be the one asking.” Skyhigh sounds vaguely apologetic while he explains, which is really out of character for him.
Blackout, who's already pulled on jeans and black T-shirt that molds to his chest, finds my underwear on the floor and my bra over the back of his couch. My jeans ended up under the bed, and my top is on the kitchen counter for some reason. Must've been after we picked up the pizza last night. “Guess I don't have time to go home and change?”
“Sorry babe. We're heading straight there.”
Wonderful. I hesitate for a moment, but then just shrug and flip the sheets aside. They've all seen me naked. I pull everything on and run my fingers through my hair, and then we're out the door. I have to admit that I never imagined I'd make the walk of shame to Hellfire's office. For not being in trouble, this feels really ominous.
As we enter the church through the side entrance, Dragon comes jogging to join us from the garage. He's shirtless, and there are oil stains on his jeans and his side, right next to his six pack. “What’s going on?”
“Hellfire wants to talk to Willow.”
Dragon frowns. “Count me in.”
“Come,” Hellfire snaps when we knock on the door.
Skyhigh leads the way, while Blackout and Dragon follow behind me like an honor guard. It makes me feel better. At least a little.
The room is still full of massive wooden furniture from when it was the sacristy, but it’s clearly been an office for quite a while. Bonnie is there waiting for us. She smiles reassuringly when I come in which makes me feel a little better.
Hellfire acknowledges us with a nod. “Sit.”
I take a chair next to Bonnie, feeling safer with her at my side. Skyhigh sits across from me while Blackout and Dragon choose to stand, leaning their backs to the wall.
“Okay, what's going on?” I look around at all the serious faces. “You guys are scaring me.”
“I need you to tell me everything you know about Tanner. Why the fuck are you asking about him?” Hellfire leans back in his chair, putting his boot up on his desk and watches me under furrowed brows.
I blink. “What? Why are we talking about him?” I glance over at Bonnie.
She nods. “It’s fine, just tell him what you told me.”
“Um…” I told Tanner I wouldn't tell, but the Outlaw Sons have done a lot more to earn my loyalty than he has. “I found a box of his things in my house. It was just some old junk, like clothes and pocket watch, stuff like that, but there was a jacket with his name on it and a note with a phone number that looked like my grandmother’s writing. I called it out of curiosity and left a message. He never called me back or anything, but a couple days ago he just showed up at my house to collect his stuff.”
