“Now, if the guy doesn’t have anyone, then he probably won’t be able to make bail,” Dagger says, crossing his arms over his chest, his long gray beard hanging down past his stomach. “I say we make it look like one of these long lost cousins put up the money, get him out, and take care of him once and for all.”
“Any opposers?” Cruz calls, gavel in hand, and no one says a word. “Granted. Buzz, work your magic.”
Cruz sets the gavel down and looks directly at his son. “Next order of business is Nox. You have anything to say?”
He clears his throat, the only sign that this situation is getting to him. “I should’ve come to Ravage after finding out Carson was involved with the Rangers. Thought I could just get her out, change her identity, and hide her. When the Rangers saw me, I should’ve come to y’all to help with cleanup instead of doin’ it myself. Even though it’s cleaned up now and the Rangers are taken care of, I did wrong and will accept my punishment.”
Whenever a brother fucks up when it comes to the club, it’s hard. He’s our family, and any punishment isn’t something we like. I don’t get a hard-on from beating the shit out of one of my brothers because they did wrong. Once again, we do what we need to do to keep the club safe.
“While we should beat the fuck out of you, Nox,” GT, his uncle, says. “We’ve come up with some other ways.”
Nox doesn’t move an inch.
“We’re going to expand the hole. Or, I should say, you’re going to expand the hole. No equipment but your hands and a shovel. You have two weeks to get it done. If it is not, we will have something else for you immediately. During those two weeks, you will be in charge of cleaning all the bathrooms in the clubhouse and shop. You will get all garbage from the place and take it to the dumpster daily. You will help Bristyl in the office when she needs it. You will help us if we need it. If we keep you busy all day and you don’t have time to work on the hole, that’s your problem to figure out. Two weeks and if it’s not completed, you don’t want to know what will happen.”
“How big?” Nox answers immediately, and I can see the pride shine in Cruz’s eyes. Nox is taking it like a man, not bitching or complaining.
“Double what it is now. You’ll need to put in metal poles to hold the concrete above it. Don’t let it fall in on you,” Rhys says with a sadistic smile.
“Understood,” Nox responds, and I have to admit, while that shit will be strenuous work and who the hell knows if he can get it done on time—for Ravage not to do blood has got to be a first.
“You start tomorrow, son,” Cruz says on a chin lift. Not a word is said throughout the room. It’s a bit surprising because I’d have thought the tension would’ve been higher during this part, but I’d be wrong.
“Alright, last order of business. We’ve got Deke. He’s done his time, proved without a doubt that he belongs here and will do anything for Ravage. But he needs the vote. Anyone in this room opposed to having Deke join the Ravage MC, brothers?”
I swear a pin could drop in the room and it would be the loudest thing around. GT’s smile grows wide. He and his son have been through some serious ups and downs. This has to be the icing on the cake for him.
“Deke’s becoming Ravage.” Cruz slams down the gavel making it official. Deke’s a good man. He’d have my balls if I hurt his sister, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m honored to have him as my brother. I trust him implicitly.
We start pounding our hands on the table loudly which has become a tradition when someone joins Ravage as of late. Smiles are around the table, and we’ll damn sure make sure life is good for all of us.
“Get him here and let’s do this,” GT calls out as Cooper gets up from the table and goes to the door. Breaker moves over to the small cabinet and pulls out the leather cut that’s been in there for months for Deke. He inspects it, then puts it back inside with a nod.
“He’s coming, school the faces,” Cruz orders all of us, and we do as told. This is another tradition. The guys we bring into the brotherhood never really know what they’re being called in for because they aren’t allowed in this room except for specific purposes.
Deke enters looking around the room, not getting a single inclination of what’s about to happen to him.
“Stand here,” Cooper says, and Deke puts his hands behind his back. I’d love to know if he’s nervous right now. I remember I was. Didn’t know why they had me come into the room. It was one of the happiest days I’ve had—next to having Emery.
Cruz nods to GT. It’s kind of cool Cruz is giving up the reins so father and son can do their thing.
GT rises and faces off in front of his son. “You’ve been brought in here because we voted.” Deke’s eyes flicker around the room, trying to gauge what the vote came up as. He’s been around long enough to know how this shit works by now. We give him nothing.
“Congratulations, Son. You’re officially Ravage.” Only then does Deke let out a huge breath, and a wide smile grows across his face. GT pulls Deke into his arms, and they do the one-armed guy hug that we all do.
Breaker brings over the cut, and Deke slides it on. “Fuck yeah,” he shouts, which I find is funny because Deke doesn’t show emotions often.
“Let’s party!” Dagger yells, and the party starts.
Openingthe door to my room, my heart stops and my cock throbs. Emery is on the bed, laying on her side looking at me, with nothing but her cut on. Fuck, that’s sexy. Never thought I’d have a woman in a cut, but fuck I’m happy it’s Emery in it.
“Hey, baby,” she purrs. Yes, fucking purrs like a damn kitten. I slap the door shut and lock it, disposing my clothes during the ten step walk to the bed.
“Fuck, you’re so damn sexy.” I pounce on her as she giggles. She shuts up quick when my mouth meets hers and my hips fall between her thighs. “Get ready for hard and dirty.”
“God, yes,” she moans as I slide in, her hot heat engulfing me. Knees on the bed, elbows on either side of her head, I piston hard and fast, the bed thumping against the wall with force. Her sounds are sexy as hell as is her nails scraping down my back. Add the fucking leather on her and I’m in heaven. Complete and utter heaven.
“Fuck, you cup around my cock perfectly.”
