“Why the fuck is he in the hospital then?”
Green chuckles, “Blood pressure. The fucker has high blood pressure, and they are giving him meds to bring it down. Can you believe that shit?”
“They’re just patchin’ him up so we can take him out,” Nox growls.
I follow suit, “But he’s gettin’ out, and his ass is mine.”
“We’re on him when he gets out. Buzz tapped the records, and he should be out in a day or two.” Green takes a swig of his beer.
“Alright, what about the judge?”
“Found some shady shit with the judge’s kid. Talked to her and she was very accommodating with your case,” Cooper informs me.
“Damn, wish you could’ve told me that sooner. I was sweatin’ bullets up there.” I take a healthy swallow of my beer.
“Good for ya,” Green says. “Puts hair on your chest.”
“Fuck off,” I joke, and everyone around the table laughs. I yell out to Deke who’s behind the bar, “beer!” He’s there quickly and hurries back to the bar.
“He know the vote is happenin’?” I ask the table.
Nox is the first to shake his head. “Nope. Not a damn clue.”
Deke has earned his spot here in Ravage. I’ll be honored to call him my brother. I glance out at the dance floor, and Emery gives me a show. It’s like a trance only she can put me under.
Someone slaps my arm, and I look to Nox. “You hear anything I just said?”
I motion with my head toward the dance floor. “If your name’s not Emery then no, I wasn’t listenin’.” Laughs billow out, but I pay closer attention.
“Micah took off. Went into the Marines.”
Even for me, cool, calm, and collected never showing feeling on the outside, can’t hide the absolute shock of what he just said. “You’re shittin’ me.”
Making my way to all the guys, they each nod. Holy shit.
“Nope.” Cooper leans back in his chair. “Blaze isn’t happy about it, and Tug hasn’t said much. But if it’s what he wants to do then so be it.”
No one says anything for a moment.
“Come on,” Nox starts. “If we would’ve voted to make him a prospect, none of us would’ve voted yes and he’d be out forever. He had to know that, and this was his way of dealing.”
“Who the fuck knows,” Green throws in as he glances over to the kitchen where Leah is smiling. “Gotta go to my woman.” He exits quickly. I’m so damn happy that Leah is coming more out of her shell.
With the three of us there, I lean in to Nox. “You do realize the shit is going to be beat out of you, right?”
Nox picks up his bottle and throws some back before looking between us. “Yeah. Fucked up. Even if it’s solved and everything is good with the Rangers, still I fucked up and I get the consequences. Just makes me wonder how many times I pissed all you guys off. You’ll be in it for payback.”
Laughter booms from the table. Nox is a respectable man, knowing what’s coming and not cowering from it. We won’t take pleasure from it, but it’ll need to be done. Take that back, I’m sure Rhys and Dagger will take pleasure in it.
Emery walks to me, eyes blazing with lust. “Come on,” she teases and walks right by me. Jumping up, I grab her and throw her over my shoulder. With her ass in the air, I smack it hard and she yelps. Hoots and hollers come from the club, and I drag my woman to my room.
Setting her down, I press her back against the door, taking her wrists in hand and holding them above her head. She pants, and her eyes dilate. Our lips crash into one another in a sensuous, all-consuming connection of two people. Everything we feel is poured through our touch as the heat builds between us.
Emery’s knees go weak as the kiss deepens, telling me she feels this too. This is the woman that I love. The woman I would bleed for. She is my everything.
Her lips pull away and connect with my neck. Her tongue and teeth nip up and down, my cock growing hard and pressing against my zipper. She grinds her hips against me, her pussy begging to be filled.
Gripping her ass, I lift her and her toned legs wrap around my waist. We make it to the bed, barely and fall down, still kissing and groping. Her nipples poke through her t-shirt, and I need them in my mouth, now.
