He shakes his head once. “I already told you, we’re not going to discuss that shit, not until we need to. I’m just happy that you’re fucking alive. You’re breathing.”
“And that man? What happens to him?” I ask.
Wesley shifts his attention to the side, looking down at the ground for a moment before he turns back to me. “I don’t know what’s going to happen to him, but I can tell you that it won’t be anything good, buttercup.”
I think about telling Wesley that he didn’t hurt me at all. He really just scared me. He actually hurt Brianne. I decide that this man didn’t“not”hurt me out of the goodness of his heart or anything, it was because he just hadn’t gotten to it yet. He had plans, big ones, and I was going to bear the brunt of those plans. So, I say nothing about it.
Opening my mouth, I’m not sure what else to say at this point. I’ve already repeated my questions and my brother is gone. My entire body is trembling and I’m suddenly very tired. Wesley lifts his hands, cupping my cheeks and then I feel his lips on mine.
“Thank fuck you’re okay. I was so goddamn worried about you. Let’s go home.”
I don’t tell him that we don’t have a home. I decide not to ruin the moment. Instead, my lips part and I accept his tongue inside of my mouth. Lifting my arms, I wrap them around his shoulders and press myself against him.
I accept his tongue, his kiss, everything, because this man was made just for me. No matter what happened, this man is mine just as I’m his.

Brianne is already shipped off to the clubhouse where Tiny is waiting. The traitorous whore that she fucking is. I don’t think about the fact that she told Tanner she’s pregnant with my kid. I don’t even think about the fact that she’s the reason Tanner was kidnapped.
It doesn’t matter, not in the long run. None of it does. All that matters is that Tanner is safe, and that Sinks has been taken away.
As much as I want to watch him bleed to death slowly while screaming in pain, and crying out for help, his death will be just as sweet when I get news that one of our men did it from the inside.
Gathering Tanner in my arms, I carry her toward my bike. None of the men say anything as they follow me to their own bikes. Climbing onto my bike, Tanner does the same behind me. Starting the engine, I rev it and take off right after Prez does, right behind him.
Riding by the garage, I smile at the sight of it. I’ve missed working on cars and I can’t wait to get back to it. I’ve spent too much time doing runs and club business lately. I want to get my hands dirty. Hell, I would even answer the fucking phones. I could use a little less fucking action these days.
Once we’re in the clubhouse parking lot, I kick the stand of the bike down and hold out my hand, helping Tanner disengage before I follow behind her. Tilting my chin down, I smile at her, sliding my hand up her arm, and squeeze her gently.
“Let’s go inside.”
“I’m scared, Wesley.”
Shaking my head slowly, I look into her eyes. “Scared?”
Sucking in a breath, I can hear the trembling in her voice as she speaks. “We’re still so new. This is a lot happening at once,” she murmurs.
I hum, touching my lips to hers, unable to get enough of her. I want to taste her entire body. Every square inch. I cannot get enough of this fucking woman. Whether she knows it or not, she owns every part of me. Inside and out. So I decide to tell her as much.
“There is nothing and I’ll repeat, nothing, for you to worry about, Tanner. No matter what, we will succeed—together.”
Tanner lifts her hand between us, cupping my cheek when she does. Her fingers slide through my short beard, her eyes never leaving mine, and she lets out a low sigh as her gaze searches mine.
“I hope so,” she breathes right before her lips press against mine.
The kiss, it starts off as almost sweet, but I take it to another level, because this fucking woman drives me goddamn crazy. Then there’s the fact that she’s alive, that we’re both alive, and not just that, but at the same time, she’s safe.
Safe.
Fuck me.
No wait…fuck her.
And that is exactly what I’m going to do… right goddamn now.
