“I’ll hold my shit together as long as I can. You’ve got to promise me, we’re going to take these fuckers out.”
Devil nodded.
Stepping back, he joined the rest of his brothers in staring at Frederick.
“Now, I’m just disappointed,” Frederick said. “We’re all friends, and yet you’re attacking my friends.”
“You killed one of ours. You owe us,” Mia said, speaking up.
No one stopped her. She was right in what she said.
Glancing behind him, he saw Sasha standing alone. Reaching out, he grasped her hand and tugged her closer to him. She didn’t fight him.
“Sasha,” Kenneth said.
She tensed in Pussy’s arms. There was no chance of him letting her go back to that evil fucker. It wasn’t happening. He watched with satisfaction as Homer had to be helped up onto his feet. At least he’d gotten in some good punches before it was taken away from him.
“You don’t get to talk to her.”
“Sasha, honey,” her mother said.
Her mother had climbed out of the car and come to join them. Pussy noticed the anger in Kenneth’s face. Yeah, he couldn’t let either woman go back with this fucker. There were plans brewing inside him, and Pussy knew they weren’t good plans.
“Mom, what are you doing here?” Sasha wrapped her arms around his body, holding onto him.
“You need to come home, sweetie. Your father and I are very worried.”
Sasha shook her head. “No, I’m here with Pussy. He’s asked me to marry him, and I’ve said yes.”
That’s right, fucker, she’s mine.
“No, I don’t accept this. He’s coerced her into accepting,” Kenneth said. “She can’t get married without our permission.”
“I’m over eighteen, and you’re not my father. My father died a long time ago, and he’d be happy with my decision.” She snuggled in against him. “I don’t want to leave.”
“You’re not going anywhere.” Pussy kissed the top her head. “Tell your mother you want her here with you.” He whispered the words so no one else would hear. “You’ve got to trust me. He’s going to hurt her otherwise and use her to get what he wants.”
“Mom, will you stay with me tonight? Please, I’d like for us to catch up and have some girly fun.”
He watched her mother sigh. “Of course, honey. I’ll stay.” She crossed from their side onto his. Her mother was protected now. Glaring at Kenneth, Pussy made sure the other man knew who had won this time.
“You can’t do this, Penny. You don’t need to stay with her.”
“She’s my daughter, Kenneth. I’ll talk to you later, and I’m going to make sure she’s okay,” Penny said.
“I’m afraid, Kenneth, you’re going to have to deal with her decision. I’m sure she’ll come to her senses soon enough,” Frederick said. “As always, Devil, it was a pleasure doing business with you.”
“Not so fucking fast,” Devil said.
Pussy watched as Devil swung back and slammed his fist against Kenneth’s face hard, knocking the uptight asshole on his butt. “That’s for hurting my wife. I suggest you afford a guard. When I see you next, I’m going to fucking kill you.” Devil picked up Lexie and walked back into the building.
Pussy looked at Homer, remembering every part of his body. The next time they met, Pussy was the only one coming out alive.

“Honey, what the hell is going on? Finding out you were missing scared me. I begged Kenneth to not stop looking until he found you. It’s not like you to not come home. When he found out about you, he wouldn’t stop ranting about the biker group in town. I couldn’t get him to make any sense,” her mother said.
“I’m sorry, Mom. I shouldn’t have left you in the dark like that.” She was sitting on Pussy’s bed while her mother bustled around the room, clearly tidying up the mess. “Mom, sit with me. This is his room, and he’ll like itdonea certain way.”
