Tate has the prospect load up the SUV, and we lock up the house before making the drive down to Panama City.
Fuck, nothing beats riding my bike on a late summer night. I’ve tied my hair back, so it’s not in my face, and I have my night glasses on since Florida fuckin’ mandated it. The humid air hits my skin, and I feel so fuckin’ alive.
Joining the club has been the best thing I’ve done in my life. While jail still isn’t off the table for me, I’m honestly shocked my record isn’t longer than it is. Without the club, I know I would have done something absolutely reckless and got myself locked up by now.
The club gives me purpose and direction. It’s my whole life. I live and breathe for the Dead Palms, it’s who I am.
So it’s baffling to me that Lily can have such an effect on the thing I hold closest to me. The club is my life, but I’m ready to mess it all up and make her my fuckin’ everything.
I spend the whole ride daydreaming about Lily’s small tits and sucking them into my mouth… till we finally arrive just outside of Bottlenose Outlaws MC. Stupid fuckin’ club name, if you ask me. Like we get it, there’s fuckin’ dolphins. It honestly makes them sound like a bunch of bitches to me.
“Dumb fuckin’ name,” Tate growls, and it makes me smile.
Maybe he’s not so bad after all.
Cash pulls out a pair of night vision binoculars that I’m apparently not allowed to carry. You lose one fuckin’ thing and suddenly you’re not allowed to carry anything cool. It was one rifle. The serial number was scratched off, but you would have thought I lost a fuckin’ baby or somethin’.
“Three,” Cash states softly.
“Dead or Alive?” Tate asks.
I sigh regrettably. “Alive.”
Tate just shrugs his shoulders and pulls out what looks to be a tranq gun.
“When the fuck did we get a tranq gun?” I question.
Tate grins widely, to the point where I can see all his teeth. “Brought it along with me, thought it might come in handy.”
“How long will it knock them out for?”
“Let’s just say they’re definitely goin’ to get a good night’s sleep,” he replies.
The prospects for the Outlaws clearly aren’t taking their job seriously, considering the fact that they are all standing together and drinkin’ while they’re supposed to be guarding and patrolling the warehouse.
“Go a quarter mile to the left, we need to separate them. Make some noise and let’s hope one of them goes to investigate,” Tate instructs.
I take up a light jog until I’m a good distance away from Tate and the guys while still being close enough to the warehouse so these stupid motherfuckers will hear me.
“Uhhh, yeah!” I yell.
“You hear that?” dumbass number one says.
“I didn’t hear nothin’,” dumbass number two replies.
“I’m goin’ to go check it out.”
Dumbass number one decides to walk around the warehouse, his eyes squinting into the distance. These stupidpricks have such big spotlights on their warehouse that it’s almost like they put out a neon sign that says ‘we have illegal shit here’.
Tate is quick and efficient, hitting both guys by the front door with the tranquilizer. As cool as it looked to shoot them with that, I have plans of my own. I wait in the shadows as the Outlaws prospect gets closer and closer to the darker side of the property. He sighs heavily when he reaches the edge and scratches the back of his neck. I can see a heavy sheen of sweat on his pale skin. No fuckin’ way this dude gets patched in.Then again, this club is full of a bunch of pussies anyway.
He turns to walk back to the warehouse, and that’s when I jump on his back. My arm locks around his throat as I hold him in a chokehold.
“Go night-night, bitch,” I whisper in his ear as he struggles against my hold.
I might be a Beta—hell, my feet are nearly off the ground holding onto this Alpha’s neck—but I’m not weak or small. I work hard to have the body I do, and I plan on using it at every opportunity. He drops his gun and gasps for air, but it doesn’t do him much good as I squeeze his windpipe harder, eventually bringing him to his knees.
He still resists passing out, so I just squeeze harder, until he finally gives out. His large body collapses to the ground, making me grin.
