I don’t take my eyes off of him. That’s how people get sucker punched and I’m not interested in getting sucker punched. Fuck that. “How can I protect a girl when they’re takin’ pictures of me fuckin’ her?” I ask defeatedly.
When it comes down to it, the stuff can be replaced. Bella can’t.
He shrugs. “That’s something you’re gonna have to figure out. Get your head outta your ass and take her back to the clubhouse. We’ll get Dragon to pull the tape outside and see who trashed it.”
I look at him for a hard minute to see if he will falter. He doesn’t. His face is set and his body language tells me he’s done with this conversation. Fuck. There’s not fuckin’ shit I can do.
“All right,” I mumble unhappily.
His hands let my cut go and I walk over to Bella who’s talking to Bishop still.
“What are you majoring in?” He asks.
“Science. I love science,” she answers innocently.
Why didn’t I think to ask any of these types of questions? Instead, I take her back to my bed and fuck her like she’s an animal. I’ve never tried to get to know her outside of what her body likes.
“I liked science too when I was in school. You’ve got a good head on your shoulders. You be careful with my boy, all right?”
She nods.
Bishop gets off the chair and walks past me with a nudge. “Don’t fuck it up by being you,” he murmurs.
“Thanks, brother. That’s comforting.”
“I try.”
I get down to my knees in front of Bella and place my hands on her thighs. “Are you okay, baby?”
She shrugs. “I don’t know. I’m just bad luck. None of this would have happened if I would have just stayed with The Spiders…”
Her words hit me like knives.
“That’s not true. This war’s been brewin’ since a few years ago when some lady died.”
Her eyes widen. “What lady?”
“Some lady your dad was seein’ or somethin’ got…”
That’s when it clicked.
“Holy shit. That was your mom?” I ask her.
“Where’s Peter?” Dozer asks the woman again for the fourth time.
She shakes her blonde head. “I don’t know! I don’t know anything!”
“You’re fuckin’ lying. You know something and you’re not telling us it. What do you know?” He yells.
I’ve just patched in and I’m standing off to the side watching a scene I never want to watch again. Dozer’s a man of action and he doesn’t give two shits where he gets the information he needs.
Peter’s an enforcer for The Spiders MC but he has a big problem paying his shit back. The longer he doesn’t pay us back, the more trouble he gets himself in.
Right now, he owes only ten grand. Not a lot considering the fact he’s worth a lot of money.
“I don’t know anything about Peter. He’s my ex. I swear to you!” She begs.
I believe the woman. There’s times a woman will lie to protect the man she loves and then there are times she just doesn’t know. This is one of those times she just doesn’t know where he is.
