“It’s just a suggestion. I just know you love being a nurse, baby, and I don’t want you losing yourself by taking away something you love to do.”
“I know,” she whispers, visibly swallowing. “Do you . . . um . . . do you think I can go with you to the clubhouse? I don’t think I want to be alone.”
Fuck. Shit. Fuck me.
“Yeah, baby, you can come with me to the clubhouse. I’ve got shit to do there, but you can hang with whoever is around. I’m sure Zinnia or one of the other ol’ ladies will be there.”
“Thank you.”
“Don’t gotta thank me.” Letting her chin go, I pull her flush against my front and hug her to me. I fucked up bringing the subject up. Pushed too fast on it. She’s not ready. Not yet. But I’ll get her there in time. Releasing her, I step back. “Now, go get ready,” I command gently, ‘cause if we don’t get going, I’ll end up doing what I want instead of what I’ve got to do for the club. We’ve got a run coming up and I need to go over some things with Hammer, Malice, and Axe. Then we’re supposed to be having church. Cy’s got shit he needs to tell us about. I’m hoping like fuck it’s about those bastards who thought they could get away with hurting my woman.

“How’s Honor doing?”
I look to Hammer at his question and nod. “She’s good.”
“Good?” He cocks a brow. “I have eyes. I saw her come in with you. She didn’t look good.”
“We had a moment this morning. I pushed harder on a subject she wasn’t ready for.”
“Brother, you gotta take it easy and not worry about getting your dick wet,” Malice grumbles.
“It wasn’t about getting my dick wet,” I growl. “I’m not an asshole, and when it comes to Honor, she always comes before my fuckin’ needs.”
“Then what did you push her on?” Axe asks, brows furrowed.
“I want her to have her normal back. To get that, she can’t stay at home all the time or here. She needs to get back out there. I suggested she get her job back.”
Hammer nods as Axe whistles. Malice just stares.
“She doesn’t want to go back to the ER and work there. Said she doesn’t want to have to work nights again.”
“I get that. She was taken from the hospital parking lot,” Hammer states what we all know.
“Yeah, so I suggested she look at other options. A clinic or even a school. She’s meant to help people and loves being a nurse.”
“Gotta let her take this at her pace, brother,” Malice mutters. “She went through hell.”
“I fuckin’ know that, VP. I know she went through hell. I’ve heard the nightmares. I’ve sat with her in a session and heard what she went through. I see the damn pain in her eyes every damn day. Those bastards took my woman, hurt her, raped her, and fuckin’ humiliated her. She’s been through enough bullshit because of them, I want her to have everything that was taken from her.”
“I get that,” Hammer states, nodding. “It’s well past time those bastards got what they deserve. Let’s finish this up, Cy’s got shit for us on them. Once we find out what he’s got, if we can make a game plan, we make it. I don’t give a fuck if we gotta take on the De La Rosas at the same fuckin’ time. Way I see it, it’ll kill two birds with one stone at that point.”
“Damn right.” Axe grunts.
“Agreed,” Malice growls.
“Long as I get to put my bullet in one or all of the siblings, then I’m all for it,” I agree, nostrils flaring at the anger of thinking about what happened to Honor because of them. I hate them and want to make them pay for daring to even breathe Honor’s air.

“It’s all set then,” Hammer mutters, leaning back in his seat. “Two weeks and we’ll play our hand. Gives me time to prep Avery for what we’re doing and get her ready to set the bait for us.”
The way my Prez curls his lip in disgust, I know he doesn’t care for the plan, but his woman had the idea, and it’s a good one to incorporate. Once the time is right, we’ll be using her to draw them out. If it means the De La Rosas come with them, then we’ll be ready. We’ve got a solid plan, and if all goes well, in two weeks, the bastards will be eating mine and every man in this room’s bullets.
Until then I’ve got to be patient and wait as I see to my woman and make sure she’s good.
“Anything else we need to talk about?” he asks as there’s a fast knock at the doors.Hammer opens his mouth to call out, but the door opens quickly to Avery stepping in, eyes wide. “What’s wrong, Sunshine?”
