Renegade Lady (Renegade Sons MC 1)(89)
Her words cut through me. She sounds like that young girl I picked up from the airport; the one that was devoted to her sister. “So, you went to Mateland.”
“Not right away. I had to wait until the semester ended,” she explains. “When I showed up at their clubhouse, Timmons claimed me. The minute I walked through the door, he told everyone I was his.”
I feel Jenna start to tremble behind me. She takes a step to my side and whispers out, “Did he hurt you?”
Krista looks to her, tears filling her eyes. “He hurt me every day.”
Jenna makes a choked sound and buries herself into my side. “He used her to get to me.”
She’s right, but she’s also wrong. Timmons used Krista to get to both of us. “Why did he send you here?”
Her eyes cut to me. “He wanted me to get Jenna away from the club, so he could take her. But then when he found out that you’d made her your old lady, he told me to have sex with you. I was supposed to make sure Jenna knew about it.”
“Why the hell would you go along with this plan?”
Krista doesn’t get a chance to answer, but instead Jenna does it for her. “She was scared.”
“I didn’t want to hurt either one of you, but he said if I helped, he’d let me go. You’ve got to understand, I can’t go back there. I just can’t go back to Timmons and Tug.”#p#分页标题#e#
As soon as she says the name Tug, a memory sparks in my mind. “Tug? What the hell does he have to do with this?”
The fucker’s been dead for years, at least that’s what Killer told me. Was everything I was told in Mateland a fuckin’ lie?
“He and Timmons are friends. He got out of prison a few weeks after I got to Mateland. Timmons likes for him to...” She trails off, but Jenna finishes for her.
“He likes for Tug to join in.”
Visions of what Jenna must have went through send bile into my mouth. My God! What in the fuck is wrong with these people? Promise or not, Mateland is no longer part of the Renegade Sons.
Krista hangs her head and starts to sob. “I can’t go back there. Please, don’t make me go back to Timmons.”
Jenna pulls away from me and gets on the floor beside Krista. She pulls her into her arms and starts to rock her back and forth. “You’ll never set foot in that clubhouse again, and I promise Timmons will never touch you.”
I look to the woman I love holding a woman that I thought I hated in her arms and say, “Timmons will never lay a motherfucking hand on any woman again.”
I walk to the door and shout for Reese. Within minutes, he’s there looking at Jenna and Krista, still comforting each other. “What the hell is going on? I thought Ice hated that bitch.”
I ignore his question. “Call the boys together. Church in an hour.”
He jerks his head towards me. “Are you going to tell me what’s up?”
“I’ll tell you when I tell everyone else. Too much shit to go into right now.”
He nods and starts down the hallway. Before he disappears, I call out to him. “Send Mary up here. Tell her we need a safe room made ready for Krista. Also, send Rum up here. She’ll need a guard. Tell Rum to watch her door, and end that orgy that’s going on downstairs. The party is officially over. I want only members in the clubhouse.”
I turn away and walk back to the girls. I squat down beside them and place my hand on Jenna’s cheek. “I’m gonna let the boys know what’s going on. Do you think you’ll be okay on your own?”
She leans into my hand. “I’ll be fine. You go take care of business.”
I pull her into me and give her a soft kiss. “Love you, baby girl.”
“Love you, too,” she says against my lips.
CHAPTERTwenty-Two
Kidd
Sitting at the end of the table, I glance around the room. “We have a problem.”
I spend the next ten minutes explaining all the shit that happened with Krista. Needless to say, the boys are pissed.
Timber pounds his fist against the table. “I know you’re all comparing her to Ice, but you need to remember that Ice was just a kid when that shit happened to her. This bitch is a woman.”
“Doesn’t matter how old she is, no one deserves the shit Timmons did to her,” Preach says.
Timber nods. “You’re right about that, but you’re not getting my point. Ice was stuck in that shithole. This bitch could have ran.”
