My woman nods and then starts to speak, I can tell by her hoarse voice that she’s been crying for a while. She looks utterly devastated and beat down right now, and it pricks something in me seeing her like this. “I… went back to the pool house to get the rest of my stuff…”
The next five minutes Raegan tells us everything that happened at the mayor’s house. By the end of it, I want to rip that piece of shit to shreds. How dare he lay a hand on not only a woman but his stepdaughter. He was already on my shit list before yesterday’s activities, but now he just moved up his ranking to the top along with the Vipers. And for that worthless ass bitch of a mother of hers to sit there and allow someone to assault their own child and do nothing but glare at them with hatred is despicable. I could tell Raegan seemed more hurt by her mother’s actions than Dennis hitting her. I’ll let her focus on her mother while I take care of that prick.
I place a kiss on her forehead and motion for Sutton to come sit down beside us. After passing her over to Sutton, I nod for my brothers to meet me outside. We walk out and everyone comes in close to hear me.
“What’s the plan, Prez?” Reaper asks with a tone ready for battle.
They all feel very protective over her and not just because she’s considered my Ol’ Lady, but because she’s been such a tremendous help in finding things out with the Vipers. Raegan also going to bat blackmailing the D.A. yesterday put her on our protection list. When you’re on that list, any Dead Road brother would lay their life down for you.
To me, this is what true family is.
“I want the car unloaded of her things, and then I want that piece of shit car delivered back to the mayor’s house and out of our sight.”
“I’ll be glad to take care of that, Prez,” Diesel requests cracking his knuckles and I give him a nod.
“I want a prospect on Raegan whenever I’m not. This is the second time in two days that one of our enemies put their hands on her, and it’s not going to happen a third.” I have a good mind to lock her ass down at the clubhouse if I didn’t think she’d kick my ass for it. But I know she’d fight me on it.
“I’ll be happy to do it, Prez,” Trick steps up and offers.
“Fine, but when you’re doing club business I want Tiny or another on her. Got me?” I command. Trick just got patched recently, and I respect that he wants to step up.
“Yes, sir.”
I leave them to walk over to where Diesel is and have a private conversation.
“Deliver the car and make a statement after it’s been dropped off. Make sure it can’t be traced back to us or Raegan.”
“Already on it, Prez.” I see the twinkle in his eyes. “Let’s just say that a cigarette is going to be left on the leather seat to catch the inside of the car on fire. It’ll be ruined by the time the firefighters get there. Might be a helluva fireworks show. Blaze is off getting all the materials,” he mentions my brother who loves setting shit on fire. Hence, the road name.
I nod in approval and head back inside to Raegan. She needs comfort right now and seeing her curled up with Sutton on the couch makes me jealous. I want to be the one she gets it from. I know that sounds selfish, but the possessiveness in me can’t help it.
Stealing her from the couch, I pick her up bridal style and walk down the hallway to our bedroom and right into the bathroom. Setting her on the counter, I start taking her shoes then clothes off after I’ve turned on the shower. I strip myself of clothing and carry her in the stall to let the hot water run over us.
She took a hard blow today from someone who was supposed to always choose her over everybody else but didn’t. She needs to know that not everyone is that way, that some really are the ride or die type. She’s that for me, and I want her to know that I’m that for her.
“Babe,” I gently say and watch as her eyes meet mine. “I’m sorry you have a shitty mother who’d let something like this happen.”
She shrugs, “I guess this shouldn’t come as a complete shock. I mean she did the same to my dad, so why wouldn’t she pick that asshat over me?”
“I don’t want you to worry anymore about her or him. You’re mine now. I’ll always take care of what is mine,” I stress to her. “You’re my ride or die, Raegan.”
I see a small smirk form on her gorgeous face, even with a swollen cheek she’s still the most beautiful woman I’ve ever come into contact with. Just her smile could melt the coldest ice caps.
“Ride or die,” she repeats back to me.
“We have a saying once you’re a part of our MC family and it applies to you,” I tell her. “We say, One Road. One Family. One Fate.”
“One Road. One Family. One Fate.”
In that moment, nothing else matters but her and me. I lean over her and softly mold my lips to hers. She means the world to me. I don’t care how short of time we’ve known each other, I’m never letting her go.
I would love nothing more than to ravish her, but I know deep down she’s vulnerable after what happened today so I let her take the lead here. Her delicate tiny hand traces the muscles of my chest and abs before hitting my favorite part of my body. She starts to stroke him gently at first, but as she deepens our kiss, she tightens her hold on my cock. Not wanting to be the only one getting enjoyment out of our shower, I trail my fingers from her hips to the valley of sin. I find my target, and it sets her off as she picks up speed on my dick. Not waiting a moment longer, I grab from behind her knees and hike her up round my waist before nailing her to the shower wall.
She needs a distraction from all the hurt and pain she received today, and I’ll help wipe out all those bad memories if I can.
Walking into the closet, I start tossing clothes looking for my most favorite pair of yoga pants and tank top. I need some destressing and since I don’t like to be a couch potato with junk food, I usually go for a long run to help clear my head.
Kane has no idea how much his words in the shower meant to me. I knew we cared about each other, but I think after all of this, it confirms that I’m hopelessly in love with him. He definitely isn’t a hearts and flowers kind of guy, but hearing him say that I’m his ride or die, solidified it for me.
