“I love you,Whizz.”
He picked her up and settled down on thefloor with her in his arms.Stroking her hair, Lacey began to calmdown.
“I love you, Lacey.I can’tstand the thought of anything happening to you.”
“Then don’t let anythinghappen to me.We’ll do whatever it takes, Whizz, but I can’t loseyou.”He kissed the top of her head.
“I won’t go anywhere, and I won’tsend you anywhere.”
She nodded, listening to his heartbeating against her ear.
ChapterFourteen
Whizz made sure there were cuffsattached to the bed for the future.Having Lacey break down in hisarms had torn at a part of his soul.The club brothers were there to help himas they stood in his bedroom the following day.
“Are you sure you’re not goingall kinky on us?”Steven asked, handing up the cuffs.He secured themaround the metal and climbed onto the bed.The women were at thespa while the prospects were looking after the kids.
“I’m not going kinky.You sawwhat I did to Lacey.I can’t sleep in here until I know she’sfine.”Helayon the bed, securing his hand to the bed.
“Why are we watching this?”Killer asked, looking around the room.
Lash and Nash were chuckling in thecorner.Hardy was also in the room.He looked the worse for wear.Rose hadn’t been near him in over a month.She wouldn’t budge whenit came to Tiny.Whizz knew that Hardy asked to see her or at leastspeak to her.There was nothing any of them could do.
He stayed on his side then started totug and fight on the bed.When he couldn’t move, Whizz wassatisfied.Every night Lacey would need to secure him to the bed inorder to make sure she was safe.
“You can let me out now,”Whizz said, looking at the men.
“You’re the sucker whosecured your wrist without the key.”Lash held the key in hishands.
“Don’t be an asshole.Letme out.”
“Nah, I think Lacey shouldbe the one to let you out.”Lash slapped Nash on the back.“Comeon, I got plans for Angel when she gets home.”
“I hear you.I’ve gotsomething planned for Sophia as well.”The two brothers made theirway out of the room.Hardy stayed in the corner.
“Come on, Hardy, let meout.”
“No can do.I’ve got moreproblems of my own.”
“Like what?”
“Like I just got thedetails requesting a divorce from Rose.She’s divorcing me ongrounds of adultery.I’ve got to talk with Tiny about it.”Hardygot to his feet.
“You’re just going to lether go?”Whizz asked, concerned for both of his friends.
“No, I’m not going to let Roseget away.She’s my fucking woman.I’m the one who fucked up, but Iswear, I’m not going to let her get away from me again.I’ve got totalk with Tiny though.He’s the one who’s handlingeverything.”
Butch rounded the corner, looking into theroom.They’d voted him back into the club on a probationary period.He had to remain within the clubhouse until Ned had a place for himin Vegas.The club had decided that it would be best for the timebeing if Butch earned his spot back by helping out Ned, who neededa contact for The Skulls close at hand, but Ned didn’t want Butchuntil the New Year when he could set him up in Vegas.Cheryl andMichael also stayed at the clubhouse.Butch, however, didn’t get tobe part of any major decisions.In truth, he was probably in aworse position than a prospect for the time being, until he provedhis loyalty.Whizz was happy to have him as part of the club evenif he was going to Vegas.It was nice to see him smiling again,regardless of the deal the club made.Some of the brothers were alittle tense around him, which was to be expected after everythingthat happened.In time, it should work out with Butch being inVegas.Alex wasn’t happy about Michael being far away, but seeingas he’d not quit the casino completely, it worked forhim.
“I heard what happened lastnight,” Butch said.
“I fucked up, and this is mypunishment from Lash.I don’t suppose you’d get the key from him?”Whizz asked.
“I can’t.I’m on probation,remember?I’ve got to be good otherwise I’m gone.”
“It’s good to have youback, Butch.”
The other man nodded.“It’s good to beback even though I shouldn’t have done what I did.I’ll make amendsfor the way I affected all of you.I’m pleased you’re going tomarry Lacey.”
