“Please say yes, Charlie Girl.Please, I really want to see how they can hold up against a pissed-off brother,” Satchel calls.
The blond looks back and forth between us, wide-eyed.“Are you taken?”
“She likes to think that she is special, just like the two at the end of the bar who spend all their time with our Enforcer and Prez,” Ivy sneers, looking down at Tasia and Ainsley.
Satchel coughs, “Ivy, you might—”
“Satchel, mind your fucking business,” Ivy singsongs from being tucked under the redhead's arm.
“Oh, this is going to be fun to watch,” Twitch chuckles.
“Right, well I’m fucking bored with this conversation.So, why don’t you tell me what your drink order is, and I’ll move back to my girls at the end of the bar,” I state sharply.
They give me their order and I make it, then do just as I said I was going to.
“So, what do you want to know?I answered your questions about the club and the people.What else do you wanna know?”Leaning my elbows on the bar, I place my chin in my hands.
“Woman, if you make us drag it out of you about what is happening with you and Blitz, the next time we have a girl's night we’re going to get you so drunk you’ll do whatever we want you to.”Ainsley crosses her arms over her chest, trying to glare at me.
“All I can tell you is I love that man and, from what he’s said and done, I believe he feels the same,” I tell her, smiling widely.
“Yes,” Ainsley pumps her fist.“That means you’re never leaving us.”
“Not a chance in the world,” I stand and go back to finish cleaning up my bar when an idea strikes me.
“Hey ladies, you know how Ivy keeps going on about us not counting as Ol’ Ladies because we don’t have a patch?What if we got our own patches?”I whisper.
“I’ll check what the rules are for property patches and then let's fucking do it.”Tasia smiles.
“I want to keep it between us as much as possible and surprise our men with it,” I tell her, smiling.I turn away and relax because right now, in this moment, I’m happy and content.

Blitz
The banging of the gavel on the table brings the daydream featuring my Sparrow to an end.
“We’ve got a problem, boys,” Raider calls.
“What the fuck happened last night?”Rhino asks, looking over at me.
“Blitz, would you like to walk us through what happened last night?”Raider nods.
Sitting straighter in my chair, I go through the events of the afternoon, starting with being cornered by Ivy before our run.I make sure to leave out fucking my woman in the woods and move to when we found Nova standing against the wall.I give them everything I can about what Nova had to say and what she did.Thankful the entire thing was caught on camera.
“Hermes, can you pull up the video from last night?”I ask him.
Hermes clicks through some things before the large screen comes on and the video plays.We’re all watching as Nova wraps her hand around Charlie's throat.Listening to Charlie gasp for air again causes my blood to heat.It’s about two minutes before the red dot appears on Nova's shoulder.Last night it felt like a lifetime.Nova’s words finally start to register in my brain just as the video comes to an end.
“Hermes, you’ve been digging into the Lucifer's Knights, correct?”My question seems to throw him off.
“Yeah,” Hermes answers, looking up from his laptop.
“In any of that searching did you find the name Bella May?”I ask.
“Let me look.”His fingers fly across the keyboard until several documents and pictures pop up on the screen.
The pictures are of Nova and an infant.In the next photo, Nova is sitting next to a brother, looking sad and broken, holding a tiny bundle.I wipe a hand down my face, my stomach sinking.Her words last night make more sense now.
