Page 17 of Property of Heart

Heart ignores Fatal when he keeps his eyes on me and softly says, “It’s not about us, yeah?”

My heart skips a beat and some of the panic fades when I softly reply, “Good.”

Fatal opens the door and guides me inside.There are some familiar faces I recognize from last night, and also Sevrin and Karev.Fatal brushes past us and takes the seat at the head of the table.Heart takes my hand and I walk with him to the empty chair beside Fatal.A gasp slips from my lips when Heart scoops me off my feet and sits down to place me on his lap.

“There’s no need to stake your claim when I already demanded to make her your old lady, asshole.”Karev shakes his head.

Heart pulls me closer and brushes his lips against my ear.“Mine.”

The tension inside me slowly fades and I relax against him.

That is until Sevrin rumbles, “We get the point, she’s yours.A Nowalk chapter old lady.Can we get back to the fact that Lina was probably targeted?We need to find out who the hell was involved, and who gave the order.Right now, we don’t know shit.Worst-case scenario?What happened in the woods links straight back to us, and it’s why I need to know what we’re dealing with.I have a pregnant wife back home and I will not put her at risk.”

I wince once again for the gazillion time since yesterday.

“Sorry,” I murmur, feeling shitty I’m the reason why they’re all sitting here when in reality I have no damn clue why they came after me either.

“Do you remember any details that might help to find out why they took you?”Fatal asks.

I’ve been asking myself this question over and over since I woke up in those woods.

I shake my head.“Like I mentioned yesterday...we should go to the shop so I can check my logbook.I keep it in the vault with all the details of the people I’ve bought stuff from.The contracts, which storage unit I put the stuff in, what items.”

Sevrin gets to his feet along with Karev who grunts, “Let’s go.”

Heart stands and takes me along with him.I hope the answer lies in the information like they said...because I really have no damn clue why this happened.

CHAPTER NINE

–HEART –

Having Lina on the back of my bike soothes some of the nerves inside me as we face the problems she’s wrapped in.It felt fucking fantastic to have her lush body plastered against mine the whole night.Her cunt a cockwarmer as I fell asleep.

I shouldn’t have let go the way I did, because I fucked her hard and rough.Delicious, but any other chick would have cried out if I was hurting her.Lina will never complain about pain.Which in return makes me run my hands all over her to check if she’s okay.

I was enjoying having her in my bed until my phone kept going off with incoming messages.Thank fuck Lina didn’t wake up, and I could sneak out to meet her pain in the ass half-brother.Here I thought we agreed I’d handle Lina’s issues.Karev noticed something troubling about the body he buried and discussed it with his president.Which is why they showed up here, along with another brother from their chapter.
