I smile at her. “No baby, you’re not.” I lift her into my arms. “Spider, I’m taking her to the clubhouse. It looks like you took them all down on your own.”
“I sure did, no one threatens my sister's life.” He comes over to us. “Lyssa, you are going to be the death of me. Maybe being with Tank means that I’m not the only one with the responsibility to keep you alive. You are really testing our skills right now.”
She smiles at him, and he hugs her. “Thanks, Brady. Love you, too.”
He lets her go and Spider walks over to the Vasquez guy. He’s not dead, Spider kicks the gun out of his reach. He had hit him in the leg so that he would still be alive when Prez arrives.
As we back to the bikes, Lyssa says, “I knew you’d come for me, Tank. I just wanted to keep him talking until you did.”
“This looks like it’s become a habit. You need to stay away from Russian Roulette for a while.”
She laughs, and it’s just a great feeling to know that she’s safe.
When we get to the bikes, Prez pulls up. “She okay?”
“Yes, Prez.”
“Get her back to the clubhouse, Doc is on his way.”
“Thanks, Prez.”
“We still need to talk. But let's get Lyssa looked after first.” He looks around. “Where’s Spider?”
“He’s in the warehouse waiting for you. He still has the Vasquez guy alive, he doesn't know what you want to do with him.”
Prez laughs. “I’m going to have fun with this one.” He walks off.
“Do you think you’ll be okay on my bike? I know your leg is broken, but I just need you to hold on for a little while.”
“I’ll be fine as long as I’m holding onto you.”
I kiss her. Hard, deep and showing how much she means to me.
I help her on the bike, slide in front of her and then she leans forward and holds onto me tight. I can’t believe I could have lost her. I need to tell her how I feel about her.
We ride back to the clubhouse and the ladies are waiting for her to come back. I lift her off the bike, pushing my way through them.
“I need to take her to Doc, then she’ll be able to tell you what happened.”
Lyssa waves at them, and I smile. She’s made friends with them really fast and I know that she is going to fit into the family so well.
She reaches out and touches my cheek. “Hey, look at me.”
I stop walking, and look down at her.
“I’m okay. I’m alive because of you and my brother. I’m not going anywhere. I can hear you worrying.”
“Lyssa, I thought you were going to die and I knew that I didn’t want to lose you. It was scary and I hated feeling like that. My job is to make you feel safe.”
“No, Tank. Your job is to make me feel loved and you are already doing that. I know that my life is going to be so much better with you in it.”
I lean down and kiss her. “I can’t wait to get you in my bed. I’m going to worship every inch of you and then I’m going to slide inside you and worship every inch there too.”
“Tank, don’t say things like that to me when I have to see Doc. All I want now is for you to fuck me hard.”
“Later, Lys, later.”
I carry her into the makeshift hospital that we have on the compound, where Doc is waiting for us.
