I sigh, “Who did you think I was speaking to?” and she blinks, then blinks again, before very slowly turning around, coming face-to-face with an extremely pissed off Alex, just as Doc steps up beside him, then Stone.
Oh crap, the president and vice president…
I swallow hard. Even I know this can’t be good, and I know nothing about Motorcycle Clubs.
“D-Dirty, I-I,” she stutters, and he raises a brow.
“You what?” he asks calmly but I hear the edge to his voice.
I side-eye the room again, looking for my daughter and Caleb, but don’t see them. My heart rate kicks up a notch with worry as I turn my head, looking around as everyone watching Alex.
“They’re outside on the swings,” Ice mentions, seeing where my attention has gone and I nod, the tension leaving me before I look back at Alex and see his attention on me. A soft smile appears on his face, which soon turns into a grin and I know my cheeks are heating up.
“Such a fucking darling,” he mutters before Doc demands, “Answer him, Dolly!”
Dolly clears her throat as she fidgets and stutters, “I-I, w-well, I-I heard, I-I mean, I-I…”
“Now I know you are not about to make up some lie that I can dismantle within seconds?” Alex demands, taking a step forward and she clears her throat as giggles echo into the room which instantly has my back up.
“Alex!” I warn instantly, not wanting this in front of the kids, whatever this is because I know, this is going to end in tears, I can feel it.
His eyes come my way and I subtly shake my head just as Lyra crashes into me and I grunt, “oof,” as I look down at my daughter with a grin while Caleb looks around and asks, “Which club girl messed up this time?”
What?
I shoot my head up, my eyes wide, but Caleb isn’t looking at me, he’s eyeing the women in the room.
Seriously?
“Caleb,” I try but Alex smirks my way stopping me.
I furrow my brows at the man, but my mouth soon opens when he says to his son, "Bud, what would you do if Dolly here demanded Ms. Robins leave the clubhouse or she’d drag her out by her hair?"
“Okay, I really think he needs to call me Holly outside of school,” I mutter just as Caleb states, “I would put in a club vote to have her kicked out of the club!”
Oh wow.
“Caleb!” Dolly gasps in shock, but her head shoots back to Alex as he says, “Good idea, son.”
“Alex –”
He cuts me off, looks around the room, and calls, “I hereby put in a vote to have Dolly removed from the clubhouse effective immediately.”
Oh my….
“All in favor, say Aye!” Doc says loudly, and Stone begins the vote, “We’ve already seen what happens when clubwhores believe they own a brother, Aye!”
Dolly chokes in shock as Trigger calls, “Aye,” and one by one, every brother agrees, not one declining, and I blink in shock.
What is happening right now?
Caleb jumps in and says, “Aye,” along with my own daughter, and I blink again.
“All the Ayes have it. Buck, help Dolly pack,” Doc commands and Dolly sobs, "She-she’s a patch chaser. She-she already tried to trap a man. Now she wants a brother for her brats' daddy!”
She really wouldn’t think that if she knew who Adam was.
I roll my eyes, but soon stiffen when Lyra chimes in, “Actually, lady, I don’t have a daddy. It’s just my mama and cousin Matty. Matty isn’t happy with Mama right now though because she made his legs, and in between them, look like a lady."
