Renegade Lady (Renegade Sons MC 1)(75)
“I want the VP patch off your cut. You don’t deserve it.”
Taking Chipper’s patch is something I should’ve done years ago, but I wanted my family by my side. Before, he was just slacking off and tossing his duties at the other brothers. Now that I know he put my woman in danger, I can’t keep calling him my VP.
“I should’ve told you,” he says, starting to see the light. Brother or not, it’s too fucking late.
“Yes, you should have, but you didn’t, and now I want you to step down.”
Reese steps towards me and places his hand on my arm. “You can’t do that, Kidd. He was just keeping his word to your Pop.’
I jerk away and turn towards Reese. “He was keeping his word to a dead man, when the woman that I love is in danger. That is not the action of a man that I want watching my back.”
He’s quiet for a second then raises his hand to his Sargent at Arms patch; the same patch I gave him the day Timber went inside. “You want my patch, you got it.”
I nod. “I sure in the hell do, but you’re going to be putting that VP patch on as a replacement.”
I see shock work its way through his eyes before he responds. “But, man. I knew the same shit he did, and I didn’t tell you.”
I take a deep breath in an attempt to try and let out some of my anger. “You didn’t tell me, because you’re VP told you not to. It was his job to come to me, not yours. From now on, you’ll be VP. It will be your job to tell me shit.”#p#分页标题#e#
I look back to Chipper. “You’re my brother, and I love you, but you will never hold office in this club again. I want you here and I don’t want you to leave. You’ll always be a member of Renegade Sons, but a member is all you’ll ever be.”
He nods, taking the news better than I expected. “If that’s how you feel, I understand.”
“Let everyone know that you’re stepping down. Don’t tell them why. As far as anyone is concerned, it was your decision. Everyone knows you never wanted to hold office, and that’s why you’re not president. They’ll understand.”
With those words, I walk away. I grab a bottle of Jack from my desk and head straight to the common room. I see Timber sitting at the bar and sit my ass on the stool next to his. “You feel like wearing the Sergeant at Arms patch that you gave up when you went inside?”
He shoots me a smile. “Hell yeah, brother.”

It’s just after midnight when I walk into the club house. I see Kidd, Reese, and Timber sitting at a table and throwing back shots of Jack. Timber has a girl on each leg, one of which is leaning against Reese’s chair. Kidd is alone, but I know for a fact that every chick in this place has tried to get with him tonight. After what I experienced last night and this morning, I can’t blame them.
I know how this club works. When you become an old lady, you’re supposed to turn a blind eye to their fucking around, so I’m on a mission to find a suitable whore just for Kidd. One that won’t make me jealous or lose my shit. One that I know he wouldn’t touch, even if his life depended on it.
I walk further into the room and look around, needing to find Mary. Mary is one of the sweetest women I have ever met and she’s also one of the funniest. She loves a good joke, so I’m sure she’ll be perfect for what I have in mind. I spot her in the back, talking to a few of the boys. It’s hard to tell the older ladies here apart, but she’s the only one not wearing a cut.
I make my way over and wrap my arm around her waist, leaning my head against her chest. Even at five foot nine, I barely reach her chin. I look up at her wrinkled face, wrinkles that show nearly sixty years of laughter. “You want to help me out?”
“What’cha got planned?”
I get on my tiptoes and whisper in her ear. A slow smile spreads across her face, and she starts to laugh. “I don’t know. I’m not as young as I used to be. I’m not sure I can handle the Pres.”
“Trust me, he’ll treat you right,” I say with a wink.
Her eyes sparkle and she starts to laugh even harder. “All right, sweet pea. Take me to my man meat for the night.”
“Follow me.”
We make our way to where Kidd is still talking with Timber and Reese. I grab Mary’s arm to bring her close to my side, and swing my arm around her waist.
