“Fatal already put me on lockdown,” I mutter and feel Fatal pull me closer.
“Good, good.If there’s anything I can do to help, let me know.Oh, and Prez?”Swade holds out his hand.“Thanks for finding a solution to keep my daughter safe.”
Fatal takes his hand.“Purely for my own benefit, Pa.”
Swade rips his hand away.“Cut that shit out, fucker.”
Fatal snickers.“I’m going to get my old lady settled in our room and then we’ll talk some more.”
My father nods and gives me a warm smile.Damn.Calling him father inside my head feels good.I might not voice it anytime soon, but inside my head no one else will know.
We head for our room and Fatal’s lips are on mine as soon as the door falls shut behind us.I groan and sneak my arms around his neck to keep him close.His hands are on my ass to pull me against him, letting me feel how hard his dick is between us.
Fatal pulls away much too soon and places his forehead against mine.“I’ll be back soon.Gotta talk to the brothers.Stay here and don’t leave the room.I need you safe.Fuck.It pains me to know one of our own can’t be trusted so you don’t trust anyone, okay?Keep that door locked.I’m the only one with a key.”
“I will,” I promise.
His lips feather over mine and I gasp from the intensity in his eyes.“Be back soon.”
“You’d better,” I urge.
He slips out the door, and I hear him lock it.I grab the remote and move toward the bed when I hear the lock flip again.When I turn to see why Fatal is back so soon, I freeze in place.It’s not Fatal entering the room.
CHAPTER THIRTEEN
–FATAL –
Glancing around the table at all the faces of my brothers, I notice there’s one crucial one missing.
I lean over and breach Heart’s personal space to whisper, “Where’s Gilpin?”
Heart throws a quick glance at all the men in church and whispers back, “He was here when I walked in.Where the hell did he go?”
Facing the rest of the table, I rumble, “Anyone know where Gilpin is?I’d like to start and that fucker needs to be here.”
“Huck was talking to him a few minutes ago.Gilpin was heading into the hallway when you entered church,” Remus states.
