I like her like this, relaxed enough to show me her vulnerable side. Now that she’s mine I don’t want her to hide any part of herself away from me.

“I want you to come down the club later, with me,” I tell her, shifting some hair away from her eyes and tucking it behind her ear. I can’t take hearing how the brothers talk about her anymore. Once I’ve claimed her, they’ll at least have the respect to keep their filthy thoughts to themselves.

“You mean together, like…”

“Exactly like that. I need everyone around here to know you’re mine”

“Wow, never let it be said that Richie Carter doesn’t know how to treat a lady.” Her fake enthusiasm comes with a smirk that has my cock twitching to be inside her again.

“How do you even know my… you know what, I don’t want to know.” I shake my head at her. No one calls me by my name around here, very few people even know what it is. The girl must have been doing her groundwork, or maybe she’s worked on Maddy for information.

“I gotta get back, things are busy down there.”

“Okay, darling.” Rogue changes her voice to mimic a suburban housewife as she goes to shift off my lap, but I grip her hips and hold her in place. Claiming her mouth in the same way I intend to in front of everyone tonight down at the club.

“Do you have to go?” she asks when I release her.

“Wouldn’t be leavin’ if I didn’t.” My thumb soothes over her swollen bottom lip.

“And, you need to get down to the garage. I don’t want to get in trouble with Skid for distracting his best mechanic.”

“I think you're gonna be in enough trouble with Skid.” She bites down on my thumb. “Did you call him?”

“Not yet.” Truth is, I’m putting that shit off. Now I have her, I don’t have a death wish, and Rogue is the closest thing to a daughter Skid has. She’s the closest thing he has full stop these days and I doubt he’ll appreciate her being involved with someone like me.

Not that it’s gonna stop me.

“I’ll call him before we make it clear to the others,” I assure her.

“Promise?” she asks so sweetly, before reminding me she’s anything but ‘sweet’ when she fists the back of my hair and forces my head up to make eye contact.

“Promise.”

She kisses me, this time it’s her lips that are firm and commanding, and it feels much more like a warning than a show of affection.

“Get out of here.” She shifts her hot little ass off me so I can stand up.

In any other case, I’d have to take a shower. Spend a good twenty minutes scrubbing any trace of the bitch I’d let touch me off my body. But not with her. I want to keep a little bit of Rogue with me wherever I go. A constant reminder of who she belongs to now, that will have to do until later when I show my club.

Down at the clubhouse, things are looking much clearer. Luckily there’s no major damage, just stray branches and debris. It won’t take long for us to be back in business.

“Anyone heard from Skid?” Troj asks, his cigarette hanging from the corner of his mouth as he drags a huge tree branch toward the firepit.

“No, I’ll give him a call now, see if he’s followed up the lead Maddy gave him on the crew Eddie had met with,” Jessie answers

“I’ll do it,” I interrupt a little too hastily. “He’ll wanna know how Rogue’s doin' anyway.”

“And how is Rogue… doin’?” Troj asks with a sneer, one that tells me exactly what his filthy mind is thinking.

“She’s doin’ just fine.” I try not to show my frustration, but it’s hard when you know the outlaw version of fuckin’ Tarzan is picturing your girl in all the wrong kinda ways.

I don’t care if he’s king of the fuckin’ ring. I’d make sure no one ever found him.

“Call Skid, tell him we got things handled here,” Jessie agrees with me, and I leave the pair of them smirking at each other as I try to find a quiet space.

I could go to my basement room, but the signal down there’s shit. So instead I head for my room upstairs. The door’s left open with the key inside it, and I appreciate that Ella and Nyx have left everything exactly how they would have found it. I scroll to Skid’s number and he answers almost immediately.

“Everything okay?” he sounds worried.
