He nodded. “Yeah. Thanks for letting her come.”
It was my turn to nod now.
“Well this was awkward and everything but I think we should go,” Rowan said, edging toward the door. I held her hand, watching Trey cast a gaze over the affection.
“What did he say?”
“As long as I don’t ask him to call me Stepmum, he doesn’t care.”
I snorted, helping her with the door, and heading outside after her. Trey joined us, but Rowan left us to talk.
“Are you really okay with this?” I asked him, low enough she wouldn’t hear me.
“You hurt her, and I don’t care if you’re my dad, the prez of your MC or the goddamn King of England. I will kill you.”
Coming from Trey, that was powerful, but I could see where he was coming from. He was protecting her.
I nodded at him, unable to give him any assurances. He’d seen me over the years, unable to hold down a relationship. He knew I was shit at it. But I didn’t want to be for her.
For her, I wanted to conquer it all.
How do you tell your son that?
“It won’t be much longer, Trey, then you can have your life back.”
Before he could respond, I moved toward the bike and jumped on, pulling Rowan into my back and heading back to the clubhouse. Trey’s warning pounding in my mind.
She deserves better.
Reaper
The last thing I wanted to be doing was parking my bike in the parking area of the Pit and heading inside. This place held so many memories for me, but I’d been balls deep in my woman when I got the call that I was needed here. I’d fucked her so rough until she came so hard that she passed out.
Taking care of her quickly, I got dressed and headed here. Hopefully, she got a good sleep and when she woke, I’d be back in bed, ready for her to maul me. My woman was insatiable, and I was loving every fucking minute of it.
Maverick was nowhere to be found. Chaos and I were going to need to talk to him about that soon. I had no idea what the fuck was going on with him, but it was being noticed and that wasn’t good.
The two guards at the door nodded at me and opened the steel door to let me in. The Pit, formerly known as the Hollow Pit, was the place I made my dad proud, and the place I’d met Pope and Shadow. Pope gave me another chance at life, and I’ve never looked back. Whereas Shadow and I were enemies turned allies.When he had joined the police academy rather than the MC, I’d been broken and betrayed, but once he was ready, he came back to us.
He’d always been one of us, whether he wore the kutte or not.
Stepping inside, I looked around the crowded dome. It was thick with sweat from the fighting in the pit, the grunting and cheering was loud, but I already knew where I was needed. Chaos flagged me down and I headed that way. He opened the door for me and I entered, taking in the sight of Beast, beaten and bloody.
“I said fact finding mission.”
He tried to laugh it off, but I could see the amount of pain he was in. The bruising coming quickly. I looked up to see his twin, Knight, looking at me with concern.
“Did you find anything out?” I asked.
Knight shook his head. “Not in the ring, but there is someone here you may want to see.”
I looked over at Chaos, his arms crossed over his chest. “Raf.”
What the fuck was he doing here?
“Get him to the hospital,” I shot over at Knight. He moved to get his brother up, with the help of the prospects. Chaos and I remained in the room, and I saw by the look in his eyes there was more. I could already feel that we wouldn’t be done anytime soon so I could wake Rowan up by sliding inside of her. My rage was starting to build. Once we were clear of everyone else, I waited for him to speak.
“Has Rowan mentioned this place to you?”
