J.D. walks up to Kira and me and pulls me into a hug. "D, welcome man. It's been a long time."
I return the hug and slap him on the back. "Yeah, man. It's been too long. I’m so glad you’re able to help us out."
"All you got to do is ask. We’re brothers, we're family. And I assume this beautiful lady is some of your family we spoke about?" He extends his hand to Kira.
"Yeah man, this is Akira Masters. Akira, this is J.D. He's the president of the North Carolina chapter of our club."
She shakes J.D.'s hand. "You can call me Akira or Kira if you like, and thanks so much for helping me."
"No problem, darlin.' If you’re Demon's family, then you’re our family, and we protect our own."
"My sister should be here in about an hour with the rest of the guys. Let me get these guys situated so we can discuss business. Members, meet and greet with your brothers and send Razor up to the office when the rest show up."
"Y'all come on in so we can discuss this little problem." J.D. ushers us inside the clubhouse to his office.
I walk around the newly remodeled clubhouse. He added some new upgrades since I was last here. This shit is nice. "Man, I like what you’ve done with the place."
J.D. walks up to the office door and enters a few numbers into a keypad. "It took a few months, but we have added some nice amenities and some state-of-the-art security precautions, so your family is safe here."
He pushes the office door open. Kira and I take a seat on the leather couch in the office. "Man, give me the information for everyone you used for this project. We need to upgrade our clubhouse. Shit, might even do the bar too."
"No problem. One of the members owns the construction company that did the remodeling, and his wife was the designer. I’ll introduce you two after we take care of this shit, so y'all can swap info.” He hands us both a bottle of water from the mini-fridge and takes a seat at his desk. "So now, give me some background on this little problem we got?"
Kira gives me a small smile, and I give her a nod, telling her it’s fine to tell J.D. what happened. As tears fill her eyes, she starts to relive her past with her asshole of an ex. I swear I can feel all the pain she feels as she tells what happened to her. As her tears fall nonstop, my heart fills with ache, and my body fills with mind-numbing rage. I need to address my feelings for her after all this bullshit is finished.
Once she’s done, she lays her head on my shoulder, and I place a kiss on the top of her head, pulling her close to my body. "Kira, baby, I promise that motherfucker will never lay a hand on you again,” I whisper to her as she nods her head. “J.D., let me be honest with you. This guy has some real balls, but his connections and money are his father's, not his, and they arebig.
“How big?” J.D. asks, leaning forward on his desk.
“Bratva, police, and D.A. all in his pocket. That's why he's not in jail, despite all the evidence. But thanks to Kira, we got our own connections, so we’re straight on arms. And if we need any backup, we got that too." I grab her hand and kiss the back of it.
He leans back in his chair. "So, what's the next step? Since we already got what we need."
"Did you send him that message?" I ask.
"Oh yeah, I sent two boys up that way. They got back this morning. They trashed his car. Took out all his windows and slashed his tires. They moved to his house, trashed the inside and roughed him up a little. But they left him breathing for you." He smirks.
"Thanks, man. So, what are you boys willing to do?"
"I can send with you around forty of my guys. I informed them you may need their help, but I think we need to address the issue in front of my chapter members, so they can fully grasp the situation. If that is all right with you, Kira?"
"Guys, you do what you need to do,” Kira lets them know. “I’m so grateful to everyone for helping me. If not for you all, he probably would have found me by now and killed me."
When her phone rings, her body shakes with fear.
"Calm down, sweetheart. I’ll handle it. You are not alone in this anymore. Answer it and put it on speaker so we can listen to what he says." I try to give her comfort as she nods her head.
She takes a couple of death breaths to calm down, then she answers the call. "Hello?"
"You filthy ass nigger!” David Hansen yells. “You had something to do with what happened to him! I refuse to let a gold-digging whore hurt my son and not pay for it! He may not have finished the job, but you’re not dealing with him anymore. You are dealing with me now and you will fucking pay! You. Are. Dead!"
As he continues to rant, Kira looks at me with fear in her eyes. I nod my head to tell her to talk before I step in. I need J.D. to get an idea of what we’re dealing with before he goes before his chapter members.
"Mr. Hansen, I have no idea what you’re talking about. I didn't do anything to Avery.” Kira speaks softly. “I haven’t seen him since the night he tried to kill me."
"Shut your fucking mouth, you liar! I told my son not to deal with your fucking kind, but he couldn't keep his dick in his pants. He had to go and fuck filth. Well, let me tell you one thing, you dirty bitch. You will pay with your life!"
"I suggest you listen, and you listen good," I respond smoothly although the anger continues to build the longer I sit and listen to the disgusting words spewing from his mouth. "Like I told that bastard son of yours, you’re no longer dealing with Kira, but me now. I'm telling you just as I told your son, get your fucking affairs in order. That little message that was given to your son is nothing compared to what's coming."
