“So?”
“So?” he parroted.
“What’s going on?”
“Still not discussing this with you,” he said and smiled. “Are Rabbit and I staying with you or at the club?”
“Either’s good with me, but if you’re at the club, I will be, too. I don’t want to miss out on time.”
“And Sierra might try to climb into bed with me if I’m at your place.”
“That happened once,” I pointed out and Tristan chuckled.
“Twice.”
I gasped “What? Seriously?”
“Yeah. Once I explained where I was with Olivia, though, it didn’t happen again.”
“Thank god for small favors, I guess,” I grumbled.
“Yeah, we’ll go with that,” he said.
“We’ll definitely need to keep her away from you, buddy,” I said to Rabbit. “Unless, you want a drop-dead gorgeous, overly sexed woman climbing into bed with you.”
“I’m good,” he said, and I grinned. He obviously had it bad for Parker.
“I’ll talk to Sundance and figure it out,” Tristan said.
I nodded, fighting back a yawn.
“Why don’t you sleep for a bit. We’ll hang out here while you rest.”
“Okay.” I closed my eyes and let my exhaustion win.
Orion
WALKING INTO THE cabin, I found Wrath and discovered he was done having fun with Zilla.
“Is he lucid?” I asked.
“Well, he wasn’t an hour ago, but I’m pretty sure he is now.”
“Jesus, Wrath, what happened to being careful?” I asked.
“Iwascareful. He’s still breathin’.”
I dragged my hands down my face. “I’m gonna take it from here.”
“Have at it.”
I made my way downstairs and into the panic room, where I found Aero guarding the door to our ‘confession’ booth. We’d built the basement out to be comfortable should we need a place to hole up during bad weather or enemy attack. We also had some escape routes that were only known by the club, so if we needed to get out without being seen, we could.
We’d built a room within that space as a panic room, should someone penetrate the basement, but it had become useful to ‘question’ people should we need to do so where their screams wouldn’t be heard. We didn’t use it often, mostly because things had been somewhat peaceful over the past few years, but if the fucking Predators decided to come at us again, I had a feeling this room was gonna be used often.
“Hey, Ori,” Aero said, giving me a chin lift.
“Hey,” I said. “How’s the asshole?”
