She giggles. “Only with you.”

My heart hammers in my chest, and I slowly step back until I’m at the door. “That’s what I like to hear,” I tell her and leave before it becomes impossible.

Time to focus on MC business.

I grab a coffee and head to Church because it’s late, and being with Aria is unlike anything I’ve ever done. I’m exhausted and hyped for what’s about to happen tonight.

When I walk into the room, half of my brothers are already there, some of them sipping coffee while others are nursing beers and whiskey.

“Hey,” I say to my brothers.

Preacher looks up from his coffee and smiles at me. “Wasn’t sure if you were going to make it, brother.”

“Always,” I assure him with a smile. “I’m fucking tired, but I’m ready to deal with this LTC shit. Is there any question about how this vote is gonna go?”

Preacher’s gaze slides around the room to Nova and Coop, deep in conversation, and then to Shades and Banger. Dix and Ace haven’t arrived yet, and Preacher sighs heavily.

“Probably not, but maybe one question.”

I know he means Dix, and I can’t really blame his hesitation, but it’s fucking bullshit considering what the MC has been through.

“Are you having doubts?”

“Always.” Preacher smiles. “But not about this. It’s necessary for our survival, for our peace as a group.”

I toss my head back and laugh. “Spiritual motherfucker.”

Preacher laughs again. “I have faith this is the plan.”

“Well, I’m determined that this is the plan. We have to fucking end the LTC, so we can deal with Banger’s old crew.”

Preacher nods, and the other brothers all nod their agreement as Dix and then Ace steps inside our inner sanctum.

When everyone is seated, Ace starts the meeting. “All right, brothers. The first order of business is a vote on Wild Man’s plan to deal with LTC. You know how it works, and we’ll start with Dix.”

Dix sits tall in his seat next to Ace and nods before casting his vote. Each of us casts our vote in order.

Ace grins. “It’s unanimous, then. We’re doing this.”

Wild Man flashes a proud smile, sitting a little taller in his seat.

“Excellent because if we’re really on board to do this, we’re good to go tonight.”

“Tonight?” Shades asks.

Wild Man nods. “KrypTonic reached out an hour ago to say everything’s a go. It’s two o’clock now in Colombia. We can strike within the hour. Or wait until tomorrow night.”

Ace says, “Tonight, if he can do it. Let’s go.”

“So how do we know what’s happening? I mean, we aren’t in Columbia, so do we just wait for the news or something?” I know I sound stupid, but we’re paying this guy good money, so I hope we’re not getting scammed.

Wild Man smiles. “I thought you’d never ask. We’re going to watch it in real time. Gia’s setting everything up.”

Ace gives a short nod, a small smile curling up his lips. “Let’s do this.”

Half an hour later, we’re all inside Wild Man’s sleek new badass office, sitting around a wall of monitors. I’ve never even been in this room.

“Damn. What is this place?”
