“I don’t see her fucking six members to get their votes, do you?” Shade asked, not backing down.

“I don’t see her in the club at all.” Razer’s hands clenched by his sides.

“I do.” As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Razer swung at him.

Shade caught his fist mid-swing, and then Viper pushed them apart, placing his body between them.

“It’s okay for Beth to become a member, but not Lily?” Shade snarled.

“There’s a fucking difference!” Razer yelled back.

“You think I’m stupid? I know there is. You wanna tell me why? What happened to Lily to screw her up so badly?”#p#分页标题#e#

Razer’s shoulders slumped in defeat as he began shaking his head. “I honestly don’t know, brother.”

“Then shut the fuck up.”

“She doesn’t even know you exist.”

As Shade closed down, turning his back to the two men, Razer’s harsh breathing gradually slowed down.

“I’m sorry, brother, but it’s the truth.”

“Don’t call me brother.” Shade walked to the door.

“Shade… My marker will count as a vote.”

He didn’t stop at Viper’s words, going through the door with the two men behind him.

After Viper gave Evie the signal to take the women in the other room, leaving the kitchen and TV room filled with the brothers, he came to a stop in the middle of the room. The room went quiet as he began to speak.

“I want to thank everyone for being here. I know you put in a hard week at work and spent the night riding up here. First off, I would like to tell everyone that, with Winter’s help, we were able to prove Gavin didn’t disrespect the club rules by fucking Sam. The bitch lied, just as we all knew she had. We still haven’t been able to locate the baby, but the sheriff is continuing to investigate. We offered our assistance if he needs it. Evie and the women have been given permission to do what is necessary if Sam makes any further attacks on the club, but as of now, we are done with the bitch.”

Murmurs of approval filled the air before they quieted down with Viper’s next words.

“I wanted to handle this a few weeks ago, but Shade cautioned me to hold my hand. The group Sam has attached herself to are one-percenters, and he didn’t want us to strike out before we were ready. We are now prepared, and that’s why I sent for you. We planned on hitting their club tonight, but they called for a meet this morning. My guess is they have someone watching the house and are aware we are about to strike.

“I was not happy they wanted a meet, but did so because Shade urged me to at least talk to them. I’m glad I listened. The president of The Blue Horsemen informed me that the four men who attacked Beth and Lily are outlaws, no longer associated with their club. They have been trying to get their colors back, but they have been outrunning their enforcers. We offered our help, and they accepted.

“Shade has put in motion a set-up for tomorrow that they won’t be able to resist. We won’t need a show of force, but I am not an idiot. I won’t send you back to Ohio until our business with them is complete.

“Enjoy yourselves tonight, and we’ll take care of business tomorrow morning. If everything goes as planned, you can be back home tomorrow night.”

After the meeting broke up, the brothers spread out, making themselves comfortable. Viper and Razer went in search for their women in the other room.

Shade went to the kitchen cabinet, taking a bottle of the good whiskey and a glass, carrying it downstairs to his room. He wasn’t in the mood to hang out with the brothers.

He stared down into the glass of whiskey he poured, seeing Lily’s image. She had dragged him from his emotionless shell, and it was affecting his relationship with the brothers. Hell, he was probably planning for something which was never going to happen.

A knock drew his attention.

“Come in,” Shade said, not bothering to straighten from his sprawled position on the bed.

“You in the mood for some company?” Joy came strutting in the room.

Shade swallowed the remainder of his whiskey. “I’m in the mood to have my dick sucked.” Shade reached out and set his glass on the nightstand.

“I can do that.” She licked her bottom lip.#p#分页标题#e#

Shade stretched as the woman climbed on his bed between his sprawled legs. Her head bent toward his mouth, but Shade moved his hand to the back of her head, taking a handful of her hair.

“Did I say I wanted your mouth on mine?”

“No.” A look of fear flashed in her eyes.

“The only place I want that mouth is on my dick.”
