“We know it wasn’t you, sweetness,” Breakneck rebutted before I could tell him who I was thinking of. I rolled my eyes and looked at Tripp instead.
“While appreciate the fact that he,” I tossed a thumb back in Breakneck’s general direction, “doesn’t think I’d videotape us having shower sex and send it to you, I was thinking about someone else.”
“Who, honey?” Tripp asked.
“Connie was in his room earlier. Who knows how long she was in there or what she was up to. The door was cracked open. She could have been watching Kip’s door to see when someone was coming, so she could dive on the bed and try to look like she was there to seduce him. No one was paying attention to her because there was too much going on with the members all showing up for church.
All three men stared at me like I had five heads before Tripp muttered, “Son of a bitch,” then hopped on his phone.
“Maybe we should add more female members,” Kip mulled over as Breakneck came to sit beside me. When that didn’t seem to appease him, he gently pulled me out of my seat and put me on his lap so that he could wrap his arms around me.
“I’m so fucking sorry, sweetness,” he whispered into my ear. “So, fucking sorry. This wasn’t supposed to happen on my watch. I fucking missed it.”
“Stop. You couldn’t have known one of your people would betray you and the club.”
“Should have been our first thought,” he argued.
There was a knock on the door and Scout came in as soon as Tripp called out for her to enter. “I checked the whole bar, the back hallway, and upstairs. There aren’t any other cameras.”
“What about the rest of Breakneck’s bedroom?” I asked.
“I can go check there. It’s where I was headed next, but I wanted you to know that the rest of the clubhouse was cleared. All that’s left to check is your office,” she said to Tripp, “and the other member’s bedrooms.”
“I would like to go with you,” I told Scout and tried to stand, but Breakneck kept a tight enough hold on me that it was impossible.
“Why do you want to go with her?” He asked me.
“I need to see where they are and…” I choked up for a minute before taking a breath and looking back up at Tripp because I felt he was the one who would make this decision. “I need to know that they’re all gone and the only way I’m going to believe that is if I watch Scout pull them all out.”
Tripp nodded his head. “Can’t blame you for wanting to see that with your own eyes. We’ll all go.”
“Can it just be me and Scout?” Tripp narrowed his eyes on me, wondering what I was up to, but eventually he agreed to it.
“We’ll be at the bar.” To Scout he said, “Text me when you’re done. I’ll want to double-check for myself. Nothing against the work you do, but I think Nova will feel better with a second set of eyes going over the place.”
“I’d never argue that.” Scout conceded.
“I think we have somewhere else to be,” Breakneck finally said when he spoke and helped me to my feet. “We’ll be out back in the shed with our suspect.” He was talking to Scout not me, but I didn’t take offense because she was now his ‘club brother’ for all intents and purposes. “Keep an eye on my woman, just in case it wasn’t Connie.”
“I will protect her with my life,” she confirmed, and I didn’t miss the way Kip growled, so I figured I’d give him a little something, too.
“Don’t worry, I’ll protect her with my life as well.”
He managed to grin at me, as did Tripp. To my surprise, Breakneck didn’t growl in protest the Kip had. Instead, he spun me around and kissed me senseless.
“You’re too close to perfect,” he whispered before he let me go. “Be careful,” he called out so that we could both hear him and then I followed Scout back to Breakneck’s room.

“We know there’s one in the shower, but I’m going to start checking the bedroom first and work my way back, that way we can kill their feed before they see and hear much else.”
“Won’t they be tipped off immediately when the first camera goes down, or I guess the only camera?”
“Sure, but that doesn’t matter. They’ll probably contact whoever planted them, but that just helps the guys figure out who the traitor is.”
“That makes sense.”
