Chapter 12 #2
“We’re playing volleyball in the pool at his sister’s house with little Annie.
He brought some doctor friends over and we’re grilling out.
Allison is the one who invited Ivy, Sutton, and me to come.
I didn’t know he’d be here until we were already here.
And besides, you have no reason for that attitude after telling me about having to trust each other.
I choose you, remember? Ian and I are just friends. ”
Nothing deflates a man quicker than when his woman shoves his own words back at him. Like a bucket of cold water has been thrown on me, I start to loosen my jaw a bit and unlock my muscles. Then a thought comes to me.
“Who the hell is Sutton?” I ask not ever hearing that name before.
“I knew her in high school, and my mother wanted me to be friends with her and reconnect. She’s the preacher’s daughter.”
“The preacher’s daughter? From where?”
“The church by the courthouse, I think.”
Good lord, not only do I have the mayor’s daughter in my bed, but we have the daughter of the town’s preacher now associating with us.
This could be a complication that we don’t need right now, but I’ll have to wait until I get back to discuss this with her.
That pastor seems shady as shit, and I think she needs to steer clear of it and all who are involved with him.
“What are you wearing? Send me a pic right now,” I say, changing the subject wanting to get the focus back on us.
I know she has to be in a sexy little number, because with a body like hers she shouldn’t be hiding it. But fuck, I hate I’m not there with her to make sure none of those doctor friends of Ian try anything on her.
Fuck it. Before I can stop myself, I’m texting Ink and Dallas to go over to Allison’s house to check things over and to report back to me.
After sending the text, I feel the phone buzz and know it’s from Raegan.
What I’m not prepared for is the sight before me.
She obviously had someone take the pic for her because I get the entire view from head to toe of her perfect tight little body.
My body locks up and I feel my cock lengthen up against the zipper of my jeans.
She’s wearing a soft blue bikini that fits her like a fucking glove with her hair down and some shades that cover her eyes. She’s giving the sexiest look at the camera knowing exactly what that does to me.
As I’m about to call her I receive another text and it’s of her turned to the side giving me a good look at the back of her tight cheeks peeking out.
She looks like a goddess and with that red solo cup in her hand I can only imagine what she’s drinking in front of all those men who are in the pool waiting for her.
I have half a mind to call Allison and tell her to cancel that little shindig and send everyone home.
She’s lucky I only live a few houses down from her so that her and Ivy can walk there safely.
Hell, I’ve given Raegan and Ivy free reign on my house since I left on this run.
I wanted to make sure they were comfortable while I was gone since I know Raegan only has one bed in the pool house so I offered my place to give them more room.
“Raegan,” I growl in warning before she can greet me when I call her back.
I hear her giggle and for some reason my mouth kicks up in the corner making me smile.
“Kane,” she draws out in a mocking tone.
“If I ever catch you wearing a sexy as hell swimsuit like that again without me there with you, I’m gonna tan your ass red raw. Do you hear me?” I say with as much authority as possible.
“So you think it’s sexy?”
“Is that all you just heard?” She makes me chuckle at her antics. “What am I going to do with you, Wildcat?”
“Oh, I think the promise of a good spanking was offered.” She giggles again, and I wonder how many refills she’s had already. “I miss you,” she reveals and I feel my chest tighten.
“Oh really?” I pause for a sec. “How much have you missed me?”
I hear a door closing and then the sound of the people and noise in the background goes silent. She must’ve gone inside away from the party.
“More than I thought I would,” she admits. “Is that normal? We’ve only been together for such a short period of time, and all I can think about is when I’m going to see you next.”
“I feel the same, babe. You have no idea.” I clear my throat to try to at least gain some of my man card back after being such a sap. “We’ll be back soon.”
“Yeah, we still haven’t talked about you showing up with your face almost mangled before you left for this run.”
She was surprised when I left the clubhouse and rode back to find her before I had to leave for this run. I didn’t let her know about the fight Havoc and I got into over her.
“I told you it was club business, babe. That’s all you need to know,” I say and hear a knock.
“Hold on a sec, someone’s at the front door,” she says, and I’d bet my left nut on who it is.
“Oh, hey guys, Allison is out back,” I hear her say.
“We’re just doing a sweep to make sure everything is all right. No need to bother her, ma’am, we’ll be gone in no time.” I think that was Ink’s voice.
“Well I have Kane on the phone if you need to report anything.”
“Kane, ma’am? Prez is the one who told us to come and check things out,” he answers confused.
Christ, good help is hard to find these days! And discreet ones at that.
“Is that so?” I can hear Raegan’s accusatory voice go up an octave. “Well then, you’ll want to speak with him.”
I hear ruffling and then a male’s voice. “Hello?” Ink answers with uncertainty.
“Check out the party and then the perimeter and if everything is good then leave, but not until every guy is checked.”
“Yes, sir.”
I hear ruffling again and then the sound of footsteps.
“You’re so busted, Kane. Maybe it’ll be your ass that’s red raw the next time we see each other.”
“Wildcat, the last person who threatened me ended up six feet under. I accept your challenge,” I goad, but in reality, two days ago I put a rival club member down between his eyes.
Being on the road is hard especially when other clubs want your blood.
Satan’s Heart MC has always been a pain in our ass since Dad first started the club.
We knew passing through their territory there was a chance of us crossing paths, but we needed to unload this merchandise as quickly as possible.
Running into three of their members wasn’t part of the plan, but they just happened to be at the same bar as us at the time.
Things got a little out of hand when one of the cocksuckers started talking about my Ol’ Lady, even though he had no idea who she was, the game was over for him.
All three were put down before a drink hit the floor.
Respect is tremendous in our lifestyle and not something to be messed with.
Our motto in our club is No Road Back. Once you’ve crossed that line, it’s lights out for you.

After saying goodbye to Kane on the phone and staying another hour, Sutton, Ivy, and I walk down a few houses to Kane’s house.
Ivy and I have been staying there for the last few days since he insisted on it.
I have to admit that it’s a beautiful home and way more spacious than the pool house.
Mom has been on my ass since Sunday at the garden brunch about not coming home.
I’ve told her that we’re staying with some old school friend to give Ivy some more room, but she is the nosiest person in this town.
I have a feeling that shits gonna hit the fan sooner than later when she finds out where I’m actually staying and who it belongs to.
“So, did you have a good time hanging out with Allison and her brother?” I ask Sutton hoping that maybe she and Ian made some kind of connection over the last two times they’ve hung around each other. It would definitely help stop the longing in Ian’s eyes for me.
After our blind date, we went out one other time to hang with Allison and her daughter, Annie.
Who also happens to be related to Kane’s family.
We never went beyond kissing, and after that night I made it obvious I didn’t feel anything for him.
He suggested being friends and staying close since our mothers wouldn’t stop trying to bring us together.
Even before Kane and I made that commitment to be with each other I knew Ian and I wouldn’t go any further.
Even if Kane and I don’t make it, I could never see myself with Ian.
We just don’t fit right. That’s the only way to describe it.
“It was a great time and exactly what I needed to get my mind off my parents. His friend Cory, who’s the ER doctor gave me his number, but I don’t know.” Sutton shrugs as we all sit on the couch with bottles of water.
“Cory seemed okay. He had some really hilarious ER stories,” Ivy says trying to get her to open up. She has this way of making people open up even when they’re the most introverted type.
Ivy comes from a lot of money and a lot is expected from her in their family social circles.
She considers herself the black sheep of the family and balks at every tradition they expect her to follow.
She’s the best person and the brightest light.
I could never imagine her fall in line to someone else’s strict rules.
She’s a butterfly and the world is her playground.
I think that is why she’s taken up with Sutton when we started hanging out with her a few days ago. What started out as a forced lunch by my mother and has turned into a growing new friendship that I think she is in desperate need of.
