“You don’t think the twocould be related?”Tiny asked.
“Andrew was a weak little shit.He was sick in the head, and he was all over drugs.There’s no wayhe could be as powerful as Master,” Gash said.“You’ve got more ofa chance of Andrew selling shit about The Skulls to this mysteryguy than you have of him being an actual problem.”
Gash wouldn’t even give his brother athought.
“What does the letter say?”Lash asked.
“I’ve not opened it.Icalled ahead to get you guys here, and Charlotte didn’t even openit.”Gash reached out, opening the letter.
“What does it say?”Hardyasked.
Gash read the letter out.“Consider this agift.I’ve dealt with the whore.She had to learn her place.EnjoyJeff.He’s no longer useful to me.Chat soon.M.”Gash threw theletter down.“This guy is not playing by any rules.”
“That’s the point.There are norules to him.He even kills people who work for him,” Lash said.“This is serious.Until we know more, I want us all on lockdown.Everyone back at the club.The bitches will go back to their roomsin the basement.Kids are going to be here when they’re not atschool.None of the old ladies are to leave the clubhouse unlessthey have a prospect or one of the men with them, understood?”Lashlooked at all of them.
All of the men agreed.
“Whizz, get your ass on thecomputer.Find everything associated with Jeff, before today, andeven before Gash was sent to prison.I want to know everythingabout this bastard, where he went to school, his parents, even whenhe took a shit.The same goes for Rebecca.I want any possible leadthat will show who Master is.”
“I’ll put a call through tospeak to Brianna and Jessica.Both women were captured by Master.Imight get some details, maybe even work out some facial recognitionor some shit,” Whizz said.
“Do that.I want us all watchingour backs and the club.”Lash slammed his hand down on the table.“Dismissed.”
Gash left the church room beforeanyone else, and went to Charlotte.He tugged her in his arms andslammed his lips against hers.The guys at the club whistled andhollered, and he didn’t give a fuck.Cupping her cheek, he sank his fingersinto her hair, holding her close.She opened up, and he slid histongue into her mouth, tasting her.Charlotte was his compensationfor dealing with this Master shit.
Finally, she pulled away, her eyesclosed.He watched her lick her lips, and his cock thickened,imagining her lips around his dick.
When she opened her eyes, she glancedaround the room.“Everyone is watching us.”
“I don’t care.”Taking holdof her hand, he turned to the guys, lifting their hands foreveryone to see.“Charlotte, she’s my old lady, my woman.I’ll beputting a ring on her finger soon enough.”
“Gash?”She tried to push theirhands down, but he wasn’t having that.
“No need to beembarrassed.”
For the next five minutes they weresurrounded by the club who congratulated them.Angel rushed towardthem, pulling Charlotte in for a hug.“It’s so good to see youhappy.”
He held Charlotte against him asAngel hugged them.After he accepted the club’s support, he bent down,pushing his shoulder against Charlotte’s stomach.She let out alittle squeal as he started to carry her up toward hisroom.
“Put me down.I can walk.”She hit his ass, and he slapped hers for good measure.
She screamed again.“You did not justslap my ass.”
He slapped it again.“I’m not afraid togive you what you need, baby.”Another slap, and she sank her teethinto the denim of his jeans, which protected him from her bite.Gash chuckled, providing her with another slap.
Opening his bedroom door, hekicked it closed, and dropped Charlotte to the bed.He made sureher teeth were no longersunk into his ass cheek.Capturing her hands, hepressed them beside her head.
“Are you sure about this?”she asked.
“What?”
“You just made a commitmentwith me in front of the entire club.Doesn’t that bother you?”sheasked.
“I should have made thatcommitment seven years ago.I’m the asshole that waited, fuckingRebecca rather than taking you.I wanted you, and if I’d acted onmy feelings, this might not have happened.”Dropping down, he tookpossession of her lips, and sighed.“Do you forgive me?”heasked.
“I’ve told you, Gash.There’snothing to forgive you for.”
“There is.I love you,Charlotte, and I wasn’t there for you.”
