“I’m Duke’s second, and officially I’m VP and Treasurer. Bash is part of Duke’s inner circle, and is an important member of the MC. He’s my brother.” He cocked an eyebrow. “I hadn’t expected you to admit to how much you know about the inner workings of the club.”

I shrugged. “You know I have the data, and you know it’s still on my laptop.” As well as a few servers I maintain around the world, but I figured it best not to point that out. It was encrypted — if someone managed to find it, they wouldn’t be able to access a decrypted version, and I believed in keeping a copy of everything I’d managed to obtain. You never know when a bit of knowledge might work in your favor.

Brain would probably be able to find two of the servers, if he dug deep enough on my laptop, but he’d never get past the encryption. Good thing, as I had information on so many corporations, government agencies, politicians, media stars, and a host of others… no one should have so much information. I trusted myself to only use it if I had to, but I didn’t trust anyone else with the data.

“I’m surprised you’ve spent time reading so much of it, though. Don’t you usually just obtain the information and hand it over?”

“I used my great big brain to deduce the guy chasing me, who happened to drive a Harley, was part of the MC. So, yeah. I read through the data. Know your enemies, right?”

Brain nodded. “Same as me researching you, figuring out who you were and are.” He shook his head. “I can only imagine what you’ve been through since you went off the grid. You aren’t the same girl you were in college, though. Few people look me in the eyes with little to no fear when I’m threatening them.”

I’d instinctively known Brain didn’t want to hurt me. Bash, on the other hand, terrified me. I was still unhurt only because Brain was in charge.

“What happens next?”

He sighed. “If you’re honest with Duke from the beginning, he’ll get to step into this situation as the good guy. Knowing him, if he decides to make you a friend instead of a foe, he’ll make sure you’re happy with your guards. You’ll be able to request different people watch you, if you want.” Brain looked away a few seconds, conflicted, and then spoke while gazing off in the distance. “Our brother needs round the clock care. He nearly died, and a hospital wasn’t an option. We’re caring for him, and he’ll eventually recover, but I don’t know how many of my brothers are going to be interested in taking care of you after your reconstructive surgery.”

“And you?” Once again, my voice was soft and meek, and I wanted to lash out and hit someone for it.

He shook his head. “Part of me wants to turn you over my lap and spank you until you cry, and then spank you some more.” He stood, walked to the railing, crossed his arms and looked out, his back to me. “If you don’t send me away, I’ll take care of you.”

Shit, damn, and hellfire. I wanted this man. His brutal honesty, and the way he looked out of his eyes, the way he stood, the conflict in his pose. He wasn’t going to spank me, and I was certain he had feelings for me, and was working around them to stay loyal to his MC. I could use that, later. When I wasn’t bound.

However, without the ability to get up and walk away, I pulled my feet into the seat, wrapped my arms around my legs, and put my forehead on my knees. Again. It was the only way to escape them with my feet and legs bound together, and I didn’t want him to see my face. He didn’t need to know how badly I wanted to climb on him and fuck his brains out.





Chapter Six




Brain



Blood pulsed into my cock as Ice released a ton of arousal pheromones. She liked the idea of my spanking her?

Fuck me.

Damn, I was so hard it hurt, and no way could I turn around now without her seeing evidence of my arousal. She had no idea I could smell the effect my words had on her, so no reason to understand my reaction.

I pulled my phone from my pocket, pretended to read a text, and told her, “I need to make a run down the mountain.” I knew Bash would hear, and he came out, took a sniff, and I could feel waves of anger coming off him.

“I’ll be gone a few hours,” I told them without turning around. “Text me if you want me to pick something up at the store.”

I rode for an hour on curvy, mountain roads, before heading into town. I’d made contact with the dominant MC in Knoxville to let them know Bash and I would be in the area, and they’d told me where I could buy girls and drugs, and said we were welcome as long as we didn’t fly our colors. I hadn’t been the least interested in girls or drugs when we talked, but now, knowing where the girls were, I headed to the hotel. I needed to get my rocks off a few times before going back to Ice.
