Chapter 20
Jackal
I managed to keep eyes on Shiv on Monday, but steer clear of her. She had interviews and then caught up with Lacy after. She had more interviews Tuesday. Keys and I kept looking at surveillance of the businesses. I’d know quickly if any of the ladies tried to leave and the guys at the exits were keeping an eye out, as well.
Falcon and Eagle already told Daisy and Lacy to stay put, so my main issues were Cindy, Penny, and Shiv. Cindy wouldn’t make an effort to hide it, but I could see Penny trying to sneak off. Keys had already added some motion detection cameras around their house and the perimeter of the plot the clubhouse was on. We had over twenty acres, but most of it was just trees. Only about two were cleared for the clubhouse, garages, shed, and a few open areas for partying or hanging out. The two houses on the lot were against the tree line within that two acres, but visible from the clubhouse.
Keys also hacked into Butch’s phone records, but I knew it would be a dead end. He wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, but he wouldn’t be dumb enough to organize a takeover on a club phone. We recovered his bike from the airport the day he exposed himself as the rat but he must have had his personal phone with him.
The Trans Am hadn’t been spotted anywhere and if he’d been planning this for a while, he probably had another bike lined up. If he had taken off on his, we’d recognize it before we recognized him. Even if he was sporting a different cut.
Being holed up with Keys the last couple of days made it easy work to ensure the ladies didn’t take off, and watch Shiv squirm a little. She went to the clubhouse Monday and Tuesday and while she was chatting it up with her friends, she was looking for me.
I loved the look of annoyance on her face. That one eyebrow cocked high and that grimace could rival any biker I’d ever run across. I’d fix that look soon enough, but this was two birds with one stone–find these assholes and wear her down so she’d admit how she felt.
Hawk and the others made it back late Tuesday, and Keys and I hadn’t come up with much new info. I put out a few calls to some old friends to see if anyone knew about the Hellbound Heathens while we continued to go through hours of video, trying to piece things together. Once Shivana was back safely in her room, I touched base with Hawk on the quiet couple of days, then headed to my own room to get some shut eye.
Now that the guys were back and her interviews were done, I had the task of trying to explain why she couldn’t go house hunting. Hawk still wanted to keep things locked down for now. I’d also be heading out a few times this week with some guys to get eyes on the streets and see if we ran into any Hellbound Heathens. We’d put some of the trackers back on and see if we got any company. It was best for the ladies to stay put while we tried to draw out these fuckers.
After staying away from Shivana the last few days, though, I was ready to be back in her personal space. This week would give her a good taste of the life, though. Part of me wished this all happened before I lost my control so she could see how it would be and maybe she’d understand why I was so hesitant. But it was too late for that now, and better to get her used to it sooner rather than later.
She’d been here for weeks now, and while it was somber and tense, not a lot of activity happened until those fuckers decided to slash my tires in broad daylight. Everything else had been behind closed doors, away from the prying eyes and ears of the ladies.
Making my way downstairs, I walked into the bar and looked around. It was quiet, but a few guys were eating, a bunny was behind the bar, and Hawk was in his seat. No Shivana, though. Midweek and midday, it was normal to be slow and a lot of the guys were at their jobs. It wasn’t quite lunchtime yet, but I’d slept in since it was so late when Hawk and the guys got back from the run, and we caught up.
Hawk waved me over, so I headed that way and took a seat. “Hey, Prez. Get any sleep?”
He nodded. “Enough. You?”
“Enough. I’ll be good for tonight.”
“I’m riding with you tonight. We’ll do the trackers after we do a little scouting first.”
“I got your six.”
“It’s great to have someone I know I can trust.” He sipped his coffee, and his eyes went over my shoulder. The way his brows rose made me turn.
“Umm…Hey stranger,” Shivana said as she crossed her arms and cocked one of her hips out. “Hello, Hawk. My apologies,” she said as she smiled at him. “To you.” Then her eyes whipped back to me. “Not you.”
This should be fun. “Hawk, I’ll see you around later.”
“After dinner, man,” he said. “Good to see you, Doc.”
She smiled at him again. “Always a pleasure. Again, my apologies.”
Hawk waved her off. “Not a problem. Have fun.”
I stood up and smirked at him. Turning, I motioned for the door that led to the bedrooms.
“No. We can go outside.” She didn’t wait for a response before she stomped to the door, pushing it hard and swinging it wide.
Casually, I followed and made sure the door closed behind me. Shivana had walked to the circle of Adirondack chairs and was just plopping down as I made my way over. She was squinting hard, her face all scrunched up. It was cute and her full lips were both pouty and pursed.
Standing in front of her, I leaned down, my face just inches from hers and her chest swelled with a deep breath as she pressed her back against the chair but had nowhere else to go. Sweeping my gaze over her face, now shielded from the sun, I watched as she licked her lips but tried to hold her glare.
“What are you doing? Surely you don’t expect to just kiss me after you haven’t spoken two words to me in days? Hell, I only knew you were here because your bike was,” she said as she relaxed her shoulders and crossed her arms.
“And that bothers you?” I asked, trying to keep the snide look off my face.
She rolled those dark brown eyes, that one brow cocking high. “What? That’s not what I said.”
“Lil Bird, did you miss me?”
“I was a little disappointed there was no more sex, but I didn’t miss you.” Her eyes locked with mine.
“You must be a hustler? Have you ever shot pool? Played poker? You’d be great at it.”
“I would be excellent ,” she said, leaning forward. “I don’t half ass anything.”
“And it’s a nice ass.”
She relaxed back into the chair, huffing.
Leaning closer, I inhaled her sweet scent, letting out a small moan. “You know, Lil Bird, you could have sent for me. I’d come for you.”
“I think if anyone deserves to come, it’s me.”
Chuckling, I said, “Needy girl. But why do you deserve to come?”
She stared up at me, batting her eyes but not in a sultry way. More of a I’m-going-to-kill-you way.
“Maybe if you would just admit you missed me,” I leaned to her ear and spoke softly, “I’d make you come so hard you forgot your name again.” I let my lips lightly brush over her neck under her ear and she shivered despite the insane heat.
“Okay fine , I missed your body.”
I pulled back, grinning. “While I’m flattered, I know that. Do you have anything else you’d like to say?”
She squirmed in the chair. “This is ridiculous, we barely know each other. I admitted to missing your body. I missed this,” she said as she reached her hand to my cock. It quickly went half-staff, but I was strong, and she was starting to crack. She couldn’t sit still.
“He missed that sweet little cunt, but I can also admit I missed you . So...”
She bit her lip. It appeared she liked a little dirty talk. Moving a hand to one of her lush tits, I circled her pert nipple and she gasped. “Hey, you can’t do that out here,” she said in a whisper.
Looking down, I glanced back up. “Didn’t you say to me ‘hello pot, meet kettle’ or something like that the other day?”
She still didn’t move her hand, so I didn’t move mine. I moved the other to her thick thigh and squeezed. My thumb brushed over her pussy and she hissed. “Fine, I missed you. Now fix it,” she whined.
I crushed my lips to hers and she squealed before melting into the kiss. My cock was about to bust the zipper on my jeans as she worked it over the pants.
A door slammed, and she jerked away. “Oh, shit! Somebody saw!”
I stuck my hands out and pulled her to her feet, then jerked her against me. “Good, now they know hands and eyes off.”
