“Not happening.”
I look up and glare at Viper and then down at the phone on his chest.
When glaring causes my vision to blur, I close my eyes and put my head back down.
“Neither one of you gets to decide how I live my life,” I say. “Daddy, you’re just being the overprotective meanie that you are and Viper, I don’t even know you.”
Yeah, I sound like a child throwing a tantrum, but I can’t control my emotions and my pain at the same time. Right now, it’s taking all of my concentration to not scream at the pain in my head.
“Sir, my name is Viper. Enforcer of Obsidian MC over here in Harborbrook, Kentucky. I will do everything in my power to make sure Bitsy is safe. She isn’t leaving this clubhouse until her headache is gone and she’s ready to head back home.”
“Viper,”Daddy says, clearing his throat.“I’ve met your Pop a few times years back when he was in charge of Obsidian. How’s the old coot doing?”
“I’m still alive and kicking, you old bastard,” I hear the old man laugh. “It’s been a long while, Cap. Don’t worry about your baby. My boys will make sure she doesn’t do anything stupid. It looks as if my boy Viper has a special interest in her. He’s being overly protective.”
“I don’t need to be kept,” I grump.
Viper runs a soothing hand up and down my back. But as relaxing as it is, it won’t change my mind. I’m doing whatever the hell I want to do.
“The Obsidian’s have a good reputation,”Daddy tells me.“I’ll trust you all to keep my baby girl safe.”
“Or I’ll come over there and cut your fucking throats. Starting with the bastard already trying to claim my niece.”
I sigh as Viper growls at Uncle Shadow’s threat.
Honestly, men are animals.
“I’m getting off here, Daddy,” I say. “I need to call a taxi and get a motel for the night. My head is about to explode and all of this growling isn’t helping.”
“What she meant to say,” Viper rudely interrupts, “is that she’s going to take some Tylenol and stay awake for the next couple of hours before I put her to bed in one of our guest rooms here at the clubhouse. She will not be going to no damn motel.”
“You’ll do,”I hear my dad chuckle.“Do as the man says, Bitsy. I love you, my sweet girl. Call me tomorrow. Your mom says she loves you.”
The call ends before I can say anything.
As I feel myself drifting off to sleep, I can’t help but mumble, “What is it with you overprotective alpha males trying to control my every move? I just want to ride my bike. And take a nap.”
Viper, his presence strong and reassuring, speaks up, lifting me into his arms gently. “Come on, sweetheart,” he says softly. “You can’t do either of those things right now. Your bike is totaled, and you have a concussion. You’re going to take a shower and eat something. Then we’ll talk about that nap.”
I manage to regain some of my lucidity, enough to quip, “I’m not taking a shower with you. You’ll see me naked.”
Viper chuckles, a low and warm sound, as he replies, “As much as I would love to see you naked, little one, Ma is going to help you shower.”
What a shame. Just because I don’t want him to see me naked doesn’t mean I don’t want to see him naked. I bet he’s built like a god under all of that bossiness.
“I’m not bossy,” Viper chuckles, causing my face to burn with embarrassment.
“I guess I wasn’t talking in my head, huh?” I laugh. “My bad.”
“Don’t feel bad,” he tells me, sitting me down on my feet outside what I assume is the bathroom. “I like knowing the most beautiful woman I’ve ever set my eyes on is thinking about my body.”
“Leave her be, son,” Victoria chuckles as she stops next to me. “Sorry about him, lovely. He’s a charmer. Let’s go and get you cleaned up. I’ve brought something that will help with your headache. Doc says it’s safe to take these with the Tylenol he already gave you. Viper, why don’t you go and warm her up some of the chicken and dumpling soup you made tonight? We’ll be down shortly.”
Instead of listening to his mother’s demand, Viper leans down until we’re face to face.
“Don’t even think about walking down those stairs when you’re finished,” he orders firmly. “I will be right back up here to carry you down.”
My mind is practically screaming at me to give this fool a piece of my mind for trying to boss me around. However, my body seems to have other plans—it remains still.
