Shade(44)

Everyone looked at the two members who sat in confusion, not understanding what she was referring to, but Winter was about to remind them.

“I heard you tell Bliss that you guys could get back to normal after I leave, like Viper told you. If that is any example”—she pointed to Bliss’s tattoo—“I bet you can hardly wait until I am gone. Viper told you two weeks; I am not going to cramp your style. I am leaving tonight. My bags are packed, and my ride should be here any minute. I would like to thank each of you for your help this last month.”

She turned to Viper, who stared back at her impassively except for the burning fury in his eyes. “You put yourself out for nothing. They said you were still playing me, hoping Vincent would tell me something about the baby. You were way off-base. Sorry I couldn’t have been more help, but at least this time you didn’t have to waste two years of your life.”

“I see that Rider and Bliss were a fountain of information for you.”

Both of them sat as still as statues, while Bliss had fear on her face.

“They didn’t know I was even there. I was in the hallway, and they were in the hot tub.”

“But they were discussing my business?”

Winter wisely didn’t answer his question. “Bliss and Rider didn’t do anything wrong; I was the one eavesdropping.”

Viper ignored her defense of the members. “So, who did you call to come get you this time?”

“The sheriff.”

Viper motioned to Shade, who immediately stood, pulling his phone out of his pocket before going inside the kitchen to call his dad.

He answered on the second ring. “What do you want?”

Shade gritted his teeth, knowing his father was still angry he hadn’t showed for Christmas. “Where are you?”

“Headed toward the clubhouse. Isn’t that why you called?” he mocked.

Shade knew his dad was getting tired of only getting called when it involved The Last Rider’s business. “As a matter of fact, yes. Don’t bother. Winter was angry at Viper. She’s over it now.”

“You think I’ll take your word for it without checking for myself? I’ll be there in five.”

Shade had ten minutes. It would take his dad another five to make it up the long flight of steps at the front of the clubhouse.

He put his cell phone back in his pocket as he went outside again, easily finding Viper stalking Winter toward the gazebo.

He stealthily moved to the other side of it so Viper could see him, motioning for Viper to take her upstairs. Viper shook his head, though.

Shade leaned against the tree as the yard darkened, letting the shadows hide him as he listened to Viper and Winter’s argument.#p#分页标题#e#

“I could have fucked you silly as Loker James, but I wanted you to know who I really was before I put my dick in you. I won’t always be so nice. I am not a nice person. Never was, don’t want to be. Nice people get fucked over. My brother was an example of that.”

Winter started to interrupt, but Viper talked over her. “You’re a nice person. I fucked you over, but deal with it because I am done trying to make amends. I never led you to believe there was more to us than there actually was, and until you come to grips with that, you are going to stay pissed at me. But I can deal with pissed; actually, it makes me want to fuck.”

His hand went to her chest, pulling down her sweater and bra, leaving her breasts bare. When Winter looked around to see if anyone was watching and ended up dropping her cane as she tugged her shirt back up, Shade backed farther into the shadows. Viper’s back blocked her from everyone’s view except his.

Viper brought her hands upward, knotting soft cords around her wrists that Shade had nailed there himself. He used the gazebo often when Beth was around. Razer would keep her in the club room while he partied outside or in his bedroom.

“You guys are prepared for everything.” Winter struggled against the restraints.

Viper laughed. “We try.” Viper lowered his head, capturing her mouth in a kiss that made her quit struggling briefly before tearing her mouth away from him. Ignoring her obvious protests, he tugged her top back down and took her nipple in his mouth,

Shade saw the flash of Viper’s teeth as he teased her flesh while Viper’s other hand once again uncovered her breasts completely, squeezing one from bottom to top. Winter’s head fell back against the gazebo.

“Do you know how many times I imagined you like this? With your breasts just waiting for my mouth, your nipples for me to suck them until you scream for mercy? I fucked every woman here the last two years pretending it was your pussy I was inside.”
