“Coming right up, burgers or something more filling?”
“Burgers sound grand,” Chains said, an almost growl coming from his mouth. He slung his good arm around Shauna’s shoulders and she helped him over to a booth while I ran over to the kitchen to make them some burgers. It felt good to do something, and bonus, it was for Chains and that boy deserved the world right now.
As I turned the corner, I saw Viper and Kayleigh going at it near the sink.
“Guys!” I screamed. “Come on, this is so unhygienic!”
Picking up the spray bottle, I squirted the anti-bacterial spray at them as they hurried past.
“Come on, Shona, what about when Savage had you splayed out over this same table?”
My mouth fell open. “That was…different.”
“How?”
“There wasn’t any food that needed to be eaten on it!”
“Just you, right?”
I sprayed him right in the face, but he ducked at the last minute with a chuckle. The squeal of delight that came from outside told me he’d caught up to Kayleigh and they were hopefully taking it to his room. Flashes of the night I’d come into the kitchen for a late night snack flooded my mind, and how it felt for Savage to lift me up onto the table and feast on me for what felt like hours. I wondered how many others saw that…had it only been Viper?
I couldn’t worry about that right now though, I needed to cook some meat for the injured. My skin pebbled as my memory served me with flashes ofhow Savage touched my arms, rubbing his rough fingers up and down my soft skin. How he rubbed his stubbled jaw along the sensitive flesh on my neck, his lips dipping to my collarbone to trace a wet path with his tongue up my jaw and to my mouth. My legs wobbled a little as I held onto the side of the sink while waiting for the sensation to pass.
“Are you okay?” I heard Shauna ask me. I spun around to face her, my cheeks flushing as if I had been caught doing something bad.
“Yeah, sorry, I just need to clean up after I caught Viper in here.”
She chuckled. “Some things don’t change.”
“What do you mean?”
“Hasn’t Savage had you laid out on that very table before too?”
I swung back around. “Does everyone goddamn know?”
She shrugged. “About you and Savage, or about that in particular?”
“Both!”
“Well I think you and Savage have been obvious for years. Honestly, I don’t even know why it’s nota thing yet. But you on the table? Yeah, that’s from Blaze actually.”
“What?”
“He caught you two late one night and told everyone,” she shrugged as if she didn’t just tell me something major. “From what I heard, Savage beat him severely for that. He never speaks anymore unless he’s been ordered to.”
I had noticed Blaze wasn’t as loud as the others, and he preferred to do this own thing. “Why would he talk about it?”
Shauna shrugged, helping me to wipe down the bench. “Clout, I’m guessing. But it didn’t exactly go to plan, did it?”
I rolled my eyes, my heart pumping a little harder for Savage, knowing he had been protecting my honour like that. It was amazing that it hadn't gotten back to me. This clubhouse had a lot of members, but we were tight. Everyone knew everyone’s business here.
“Go, sit,” I ordered her. “I’ll throw these burgers on and be with you in aminute.”
She sighed and left the kitchen. I heated up the pan and grabbed the meat from the fridge before I set about getting all the ingredients ready and making the best damn burger Chains has ever had. Then I was going to sit down with them and tell them how damn much I missed them, and take my mind off Savage.
As I cooked the burgers, I couldn’t help but do one for myself, then plating them up with some salad on the side. Carrying them out, waiter style using my arms, I put the plates down on the table and slid in on the opposite side to them.
“So, tell us what’s been happening around here?” Shauna asked. “It’s quiet.”
