“I need you to not be embarrassed when I ask you this next question and it is important that you tell me the truth when I do.”

My eyes met his and I knew what he was about to ask. I nodded, but he asked anyway. “Did you call out my name when you were pleasuring yourself, sweetness?”

“Yes,” I whispered.

Breakneck pulled me into his body and wrapped his arms around me. “I know this all feels like a huge fucking violation and it is. I’m sorry that I had to ask, but Dave said something about this before we were done questioning him. I wasn’t sure whether to believe him or not, and then we got this picture with my name on the back, and I put two-and-two together. You were saying my name. That’s how we know they have a video of what you were doing. They wouldn’t have known that from still shots.”

“I hate this. That picture shouldn’t exist. The video… That means someone has watched it long enough to at least take still shots from it. There’s no telling how many people…”

“I know baby. We are working on getting those bastards, need you to believe me. We will burn their fucking house down and everyone and everything inside it once we find out where they’re hiding. Those assholes are like rats. They aren’t brave enough to have a clubhouse that’s out in the open the way ours is.”

“It’s another MC?”

“Yeah, sweetness, it looks like another MC was involved. They’re not good guys.”

“That’s what you said about the men here.”

“They make us look like fucking saints.”

“I’m scared,” I admitted.

“That’s why we brought you in tonight. You’re going to stay here for a while on lockdown. Normally, we’d lockdown all the women and children when a threat is issued, but Tripp is fairly certain the threat was targeted to only you and me.”

“Threat?”

“Delivering a picture like that to our front gate is like delivering a threat. They have video of you, this is them saying they are going to use it. This is them saying they’re watching us.”

There was no stopping the full body shake that started when I allowed that information to sink in. “What do you mean by lockdown?”

“You won’t be able to leave the clubhouse for a while, probably not until we find out where these assholes are hiding.”

“What about school?”

“We’re working on getting you excused on account of you receiving a threatening message from a stalker. Kip is going to talk to them tomorrow about you taking online courses for the rest of the semester.”

“The rest of the semester?”

“Hopefully, it won’t take us that long, but we want to cover all the bases just in case. Don’t panic, we’re just being extra cautious because you mean so much to everyone here. Whether you realize it or not, you’re a part of our family now.”

“Just because we went on one date?”

Breakneck laughed. “It doesn’t work that way, sweetness. You’re family because of your position with Kip and Knoxville. If things progress the way I hope they do with us, then you’ll be family for a different reason, but I’d need to claim you as my old lady first for that to happen.”

“What all does that mean?”

“It’s like an MC version of a marriage. Some people get married by law, too. Claiming an old lady means just as much, often times more, than signing a piece of paper telling everyone you’re married.”

“Okay, well I’m definitely not ready for that,” I admitted.

“Neither of us are.” He moved to put that picture away in a drawer and I hoped he didn’t leave it there. In fact, I kind of wanted to burn it. He must have seen the look in my eyes. “We have to hang onto it for now, just in case we need it later.”

“Why would you need it later?”

“It’s evidence. Just in case we need to pull the law in on this. And trust me when I say, that’s the last thing we want to do, but we hand on to evidence as a backup.”

“I understand.” That was a lie. I didn’t understand it at all. He and Kip had both told me that whatever happened to Dave at his house of corpses was on camera. They couldn’t go to law enforcement about it without incriminating themselves in Dave’s disappearance. I didn’t see how that could have possibly changed. They also now knew that there was video out there of me, and maybe of them. I didn’t know if it was something streamed or that Dave had to send them manually. If it was the latter, then the men behind the videos might not have access to the evidence that put Breakneck and Kip in the house. Endless possibilities spun in my head as I sat on the edge of Breakneck’s bed.

“Kip is going to set his room up for you, so you can watch Knoxville in there if things in the common room get too obnoxious. We want you to have a quiet place to study and keep the baby when Kip is at work.”
