“Of course,” I relented because Kip rarely asked me for things without filling me in. I wondered briefly if he was in a rush to get his son out of the house because of his wife. Maybe she was on her way home and already itching for a new fight with him. That wouldn’t be too far out of the realm of possibility, considering how their relationship had played out since I’d been working for him.
I slipped my shoes on, grabbed my bag and debated whether to bring my books for a minute before Kip reached down and grabbed that bag for me. He had bought me a new bookbag while claiming that he and Breakneck had been the ones to rip the shit out of the other one.
That hadn’t been true. I’d ripped it first, so even if they made it worse, it was ultimately my fault, but I couldn’t fight him on it. Kip looked proud that he’d picked out a super durable bag that even my heavy books couldn’t poke a hole through.
We got Knoxville into my car along with mine and the baby’s bags and then Kip leaned down to talk to me before I closed my door. “I’m going to follow behind you. When you get to the gate, it should already be open, just pull on in and park your car close to the garage instead of near the fence, okay?”
“Is there something I should know?”
“We’ll talk when we get there, sweetheart.” He shut my door for me and then moved over to mount his Harley that was still sitting in the driveway from earlier.
It didn’t take long to drive to the clubhouse and Kip was right, Charmer was working the gate and had it opened up the minute he saw us coming down the street. That wasn’t typically how things were done, which set my nerves on edge.
Once I was parked beside the garage, so my car couldn’t be seen from the road, Kip came over to help get everything out of the car. “You take Knox and I’ll get all the bags.”
“Hand me Nova’s bags,” Breakneck demanded causing me to jump out of my skin because I hadn’t heard him walk up behind us.
“Holy crap!” I yelped. “What is going on and how in the world did you just sneak up on us like that.”
“I’m the enforcer, sweetness. It’s my job to be everywhere at once.”
I rolled my eyes and to my amusement, so did Kip. “He’s been practicing that shit for years.”
“What?” Breakneck questioned. “If you’re going to do something, do it right.”
“Yeah, remember you said that,” Kip told him and I didn’t miss the way his eyes drifted to me. Knoxville’s little hand reached up and patted my face rather roughly before using his little fingers to pull my bottom lip out. He seemed to be amused with the results and both men stopped to watch as the little angel giggled and yanked until my eyes teared up.
Very carefully, I pulled his hand away from my lip and playfully scolded him. “You can’t yank on my lips like that little man, it’s not nice.”
“Why am I jealous of your kid right now?” Breakneck asked Kip who simply laughed at him. We all walked together toward the clubhouse, and I didn’t miss the fact that Kip and Breakneck formed a human wall that would make it impossible for anyone on the street to see me enter the building.
“Okay, seriously, what’s going on?”
“Let’s get to my room before we talk. There are too many people hanging around right now,” Breakneck all but whispered in my ear before he turned to Kip. “Not sure who some of these fuckers are, but we shouldn’t have hanger-on types running around the clubhouse right now.”
“You go fill Nova in,” Kip said as he took his son from my arms. “I’m going to go have a chat with my Prez. We need him to call for church.”
Breakneck nodded and took my hand to pull me along behind him. As we passed by the woman who I’d last seen being carried out of Breakneck’s room unconscious, she muttered, “Bitch,” under her breath. Part of me wanted to flip her off, but if I hesitated long enough to do that, I’d never be able to catch up to the man who seemed in a rush to get me to his room.
I swallowed my anger and followed after him instead. Whatever he needed to fill me in on sounded important. Considering the precautions that were taken in getting me here, I was starting to wonder if they had finally figured out who Creepy Dave had been working with. Part of me had still been holding out hope that it was all for his personal collection and that nothing would have been transferred out of the house. It was a long shot, but I still had hope. At least, I did until those hopes were dashed to shit by the image I saw lying on Breakneck’s bed.
There was a picture of me in a compromising position, and before I even consciously registered when it could have been taken, tears started flowing down my cheeks. They were angry tears at being violated like that. Dave definitely had cameras in my bedroom, not just the bathroom. That image was of me on the bed with my sorry excuse for a blanket underneath me. I was touching myself and thinking about the man whose room I stood in.
“Does this mean there’s a video out there?”
He nodded his head. “Someone dropped this off outside our gate when the prospects were swapping shifts. The asshole Charmer relieved left his post a few minutes before he got there, and when Charmer arrived this had been flung under the gate.”
“He saw it?” I asked, eyes wide from shock and humiliation.
Breakneck was quick to disavow me of that conclusion. “No, sweetness. It was in an envelope. He called it in, and another brother came out to take it to Prez. Tripp saw it because he was the one to open it. The only other person who has seen it is me.”
I wasn’t thrilled that Tripp had seen it, but there was nothing to be done about that. “What does this mean?” I turned the photo over so that I wouldn’t have to look at myself with my fingers circling over my clit any longer but was surprised to find Breakneck’s name on the back.
“Who wrote that?”
“Whoever dropped the picture off, I’m guessing.”
“Why would they do that?”
