“I’m going to send some prospects out there as soon as we’re finished. We’ll have two on the gate at all times until further notice. I’ll have them call you when they get there and you can deactivate it,” Phoenix explained.
“Copper, this shit runs over into your territory. It’s not my intention to go around creating problems, but this shit has to be dealt with. You got any thoughts you want to share on how we should go about handling things?”
Copper leaned back in his chair and twiddled his thumbs. “Honestly, we’ve never had any trouble with the Manglers MC. They keep to their area and we hardly ever hear anything from them. Boar has contacted me twice over the years to let me know he heard talk of the Disciples of Death MC being in the area. According to Boar, his club has had trouble with them in the past. Anyway, the times I’ve talked to him, he’s seemed like a level-headed guy, so why don’t you start by giving him a call and ask about setting up a meeting?”
“You can’t be fucking serious?” Carbon barked, rising to his feet.
“Sit the fuck down,” Phoenix ordered. “I know where you’re coming from, Carbon. I get it, but maybe Copper has a point. What could it hurt to meet with him and see what he has to say before we go in guns blazing? I promise you will get your turn when and if the time comes.”
Carbon dropped back into his chair, silently fuming.
“We’ll leave Melissa in the cells for now. I’m going to send two of the prospects to the farm. Duke and Carbon, go get whatever Reese and James will need to stay here for a few weeks. I’m going to go to the hospital to check on Mrs. Martin. I’ll give Boar a call in the morning.” Phoenix banged the gavel and we were dismissed.

It was damn near three o’clock in the morning when I finally fell into bed beside Reese. I thought she was asleep, but she rolled toward me and placed her hand on my shoulder. “You okay?”
I pulled her into my arms, kissing her temple. “Yeah, sugar. Just tired. It’s been a long damn day.”
“I know.” She moved closer to me and pressed her lips to mine. She kissed me softly at first. Then, she started kissing along my neck and down my chest. Her lips on my bare chest were driving me crazy. She mumbled against my skin, “Let me make you feel better.”
My tired brain didn’t register what she meant until her hand wrapped around my shaft, pulling me out of my boxers. Her hot lips surrounded the head of my cock before she took me all the way to the back of her throat. “Oh fuck, sugar,” I groaned. She bobbed her head up and down, each pass sucking and licking my cock. It was taking all my willpower not to thrust my hips and fuck her mouth.
She cupped my balls and gently massaged them while she continued working my cock with her glorious mouth. “Come on, Duke, fuck my mouth. I know you want to.” Fuck, she didn’t have to tell me twice. I grabbed her head and roughly thrust my hips forward. I plunged in and out of her mouth with quick, harsh thrusts. She moaned low and deep. The vibrations were too much for me. “I’m going to come in your dirty little mouth. You better swallow every last drop,” I grunted right before I shot my load down her throat. Being the good girl that she was, she did just as I asked and swallowed all of it. Then, she licked me clean.
I flipped her onto her back, shucked her shorts and panties off, and dove face first between her legs. I feasted on her pussy like it was my last meal. I ate her until she came twice. Then, I pulled her into my arms and fell asleep not even a minute later.
CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE
Phoenix
I pulled up to the little hole in the wall bar, Badger and Judge right behind me. Since this was too close to home for my SAA, Copper offered up his own SAA to fill in. Boar agreed to the meeting much easier than I had anticipated. I wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or not.
We walked into the bar and spotted Boar and his men right away. We couldn’t have missed them since there were only two other patrons in the whole place. Boar stood when we approached the table. “You must be Phoenix.” He held out his hand to shake mine. “Nice to finally put a face with the name. I’ve heard a lot about you over the years.”
I shook his hand. “Is that right?” Not expecting an answer, I gestured toward the table. “Shall we?”
He nodded and took a seat. “So, what’s this all about?”
I rubbed my chin with my thumb and forefinger then leaned back in my chair. “We’re not here to start trouble, but I’m not going to ease into it either. My brother’s son was kidnapped last night by your Old Lady’s sister. We caught her on her way to your clubhouse.”
Boar pushed back from the table but remained seated. “Fuck man! Is the kid okay?”
His reaction caught me off guard. I was expecting him to be pissed and immediately go on the defensive, not to be concerned about the kid. “Yeah, kid’s fine. I need to know, why was she bringing him to your clubhouse?”
He held his hands out as if that would ward me off. “I don’t fucking know. What makes you think she was headed for the clubhouse?”
“A text from your Old Lady telling her to bring him there,” I answered pointedly.
Boar turned to the man on his right. “Have a prospect bring Shannon’s ass up here right now. Not a word about why.” He turned back to face me. “The club had nothing to do with this. We’ve stayed out of each other’s way for years and I would like to keep it that way.”
“And I would like to believe that, but there’s a little more to this story. Do you know who that baby’s parents are?”
He shook his head. “Not a clue man. Should I?”
I schooled my expression and told him, “The baby’s mother is Tank’s daughter and the father is your Old Lady’s husband.”
Boar jumped to his feet, causing everyone at the table to stand, both SAA’s reaching for their guns. Boar cursed and then realized the tension he had created. “Calm down, boys. I’m just fucking pissed is all.”
