“You’re not backing awayfrom the club.You wouldn’t even let Butch back away.”

“I’m not backing away.I just seeit useless me trying to be something I’m clearly not.”Alexshrugged.“He was right.”

Tiny started laughing.“Devil and Iare no longer talking and you’re going to back down from theclub.”

“He was right.”

“What about Michael?Whatabout your son?He’s part of the club whether you like it or not.Are you going to back down?”Tiny asked.

“Alex?”Sunshine spoke hisname, drawing both of their attention away from the argument.“Would you both like a coffee or some food?”She was holding ablasted towel again.He hated her constantly holding atowel.

“I’d love one, Sunshine,thank you.”Tiny smiled at her.

“How do you know Sunshine?”Alex asked, jealousy hitting him.

“She’s lived in Fort Wills for along time, Alex.I know her parents, for crying out loud.It’s a small town,and you need to get your head out of your ass or go back to Vegas.I don’t want you around if you’re about to go fucking pussy on me.”Tiny poked him in the chest before heading into thekitchen.

Tiny was right.Something needed to givein his life, and he had to make a choice.

Chapter Six

Whizz left Butch to Cheryl andMichael.He was really happy that he’d visited Butch.Spending timewith him made him realize that Butch had only been doing what hethought was right.It hadn’t been and he’d put them all indanger, yetButch had suffered the most out of the club.The civilians thatlost their lives were a tragedy.The Savage Brothers had been aproblem even without Butch’s involvement.From what he learned fromLacey, they were determined to seek revenge and use anyone theycould to get what they wanted.

The look on Butch’s face whenCheryl and Michael walked in the room would stay with Whizz for along time.Hope, happiness, and joy had crossedButch’s face.They were a familyoutside of The Skulls.Cheryl had really come through for her man.She was strong through and through.

Climbing onto his bike he headed back tothe clubhouse.Driving inside the compound walls, he saw Eva hadmost of the kids in the play area.Tate was sitting on one of theswings watching the chaos unfold.Hardy was sat on the wall besidehis bike, smoking.

Parking the bike, he joined Hardy.Heturned down the offer of a cigarette.

“Doesn’t your woman wantyou smoking?”Hardy asked.His voice was gravelly as if he was onthe verge of breaking down.

“What’s gone up your ass and tooka shit?”Whizz took a seat beside him.The last thing he wanted todo was deal with Hardy.Ever since the truth had come out, Hardyhad become bitter.Whizz didn’t know about the other club members but he wastired of dealing with the asshole.Ten years ago, the fucker hadmade a mistake.It wasn’t anyone else’s fault but his own.Whateverreason Rose had for finally breaking apart was her own.Hardywasn’t dealing and neither was Rose, and that was the problem.Rosehadn’t really been dealing with it for the past ten years.She’dbeen pushing it aside as if it didn’t matter.The couple was payingthat price now.

“Where’s Rose?”

Whizz glanced at his watch to see itwas after lunch.“Is Lacey out with Prue and Angel?”

“Where’s Rose?”

Murphy walked out of the clubhouse,heading toward Tate.Whizz watched his friend kiss her head, and hewas shocked by what he saw.Tate smiled up at Murphy, reaching upto cup his face.His friend did the same to Tate.He read the wordson her lips.“I love you.”

In all the years he’d known Tate, he’dnever once seen her act like a human.This was a first for him towitness.The love on her face tore down the hard assed bitch he’dknown her to be.

When the moment was over, Murphy madehis way over to them, looking happy.

“Hey, guys, how’s ithanging?”Murphy pulled out a cigarette and took a longdrag.

“Fine, you?”Whizzasked.

“I can’t complain.I’ve got agood woman, a good life, and for once in our life there’s nofucking enemy.”Murphy held his arms open with a smile on his face.“We’ve got the world to look forward to.”

“Life’s good for some ofyou,” Hardy said.

Rolling his eyes, Whizz glanced at Hardy.“For fuck’s sake it’s not the club’s problem that you couldn’t keepyour dick in your pants.It would do Rose good if she gets rid ofyour ass.All you fucking do is moan.”

“What the fuck did yousay?”Hardy asked, throwing his cigarette to the ground andstamping it out.

“You heard me.You’re the one whodidn’t see what you had in front of you.Like always you wantedsomething more, something you shouldn’t have.Rose changed herselffor you.What did you do?”
