Page 8 of Blind Devotion (Chaos Bleeds MC)

His president walked toward his office. Turning to Lexie, Pussy saw the concern on her face.

“Come on. I better do what he says otherwise it’s going to get worse for me.” He took her hand, leading her away from the chaos in the main room.

“It’s all going to get a lot worse, right?” Lexie asked.

“I don’t know.” He walked up the long flight of stairs, going to the top floor of the clubhouse. The top floor was Devil’s and Lexie’s room. “Are you going to tell me what happened, or do I have to guess?”

Lexie sighed, moving her daughter to her other hip.

“I got a visit from Frederick yesterday.”

Pussy paused, turning to look at her. “What?”

“Can we get to the room? She’s heavy, and I’ll tell you what you want to know.”

He didn’t respond but picked up the pace to get her to the main room. Did he want to know what Frederick was doing back in Piston County? Crap, if he was back and they’d not had a visit then it could only mean that he was here to see someone else. He didn’t like it. Pussy didn’t like the threat this man posed to all of them.

Inside the room he saw the windows were all closed. Putting Edward down in a safe place, Pussy went around the room, opening the windows to let some fresh air into the room.

Lexie sighed as a breeze rushed through the room.

“I hate this. I hate how paranoid he’s becoming,” Lexie said.

Turning to face her, Pussy saw Lexie was pale. She looked ill.

“What’s going on?”

“Devil was at the clubhouse yesterday, and I didn’t give it a thought to check who was calling. Phoebe calls around, and Judi still uses the doorbell to visit. She’s walked in too many times on me and Devil going at it.”

Pussy chuckled. Judi saw Lexie and Devil as her parents. Seeing your parents having sex would upset anyone.

“Anyway, I didn’t check, and Frederick was at the door. He wanted to be let in. After everything that happened, I didn’t want to anger him.”

“You let him in. Do you know about Ashley?”

“I know everything that goes on at this club, Pussy. Devil doesn’t keep secrets from me, even though I imagine he’d like to try it. I wouldn’t let him. Chaos Bleeds is my family as much as it’s his.” Lexie shrugged. The shirt she wore fell off her shoulder.

“Did he hurt you?”

“No, Frederick didn’t hurt me. He asked to have tea and cake with me. The kids were playing, and I didn’t want to piss him off. He talked about loyalty and how important loyalty was.” She ran a hand over her face. “I don’t know what he’s trying to do, but I think he’s going to try and break The Skulls and Chaos Bleeds apart.”

Pussy frowned. “What?”

“He implied that someone withinTiny’sclubhas lost all their loyalty. I don’t know what to make of it. Devil arrived and freaked out. He didn’t start shooting Frederick’s ass, but he was close.” Lexie blew out a breath. “I wish we could go back, you know? Go back to when shit was simple and I was pissed at Devil for stupid shit.”

He knew what she meant. “Devil’s always going to be like this around you. He loves you, Lex. You can’t let this upset you. Also, you know he’s going to protective of you. You’re his woman, the mother of his children. Even after everything you’ve been through, you’re fucking hot.”

She started laughing. “Thank you, Pussy. You’re the best.” She moved closer to him and kissed his cheek. “Go on. Go and enjoy your freedom while Devil allows it. He’s going to call for us all to be on lockdown. We’ll all suffer then.”

Nodding, he made sure she was okay before heading out. Dropping down into Death’s room, he watched his friend riding a bitch’s ass. Whistling, he caught Death’s attention. He told him everything that Lexie had told him.

“No shit. What’s the fucker up to?” Death asked. He stayed still inside the whore’s body.

“I don’t know. I’ve got a feeling he’s trying to put a wedge between us and The Skulls.”

“Good way to go about it. Make us afraid to trust Tiny and his crew.” Death shook his head. “Where are you going?”

“I’m heading out. If we’re going on lockdown, I’m getting some road time in. I need to clear my head before it’s trapped in the same place.”
