I manage to eat a few fries, part of my sandwich, and half my milkshake. The guys woof down theirs and soon we’re back on the road.
They said earlier we’ll be there soon, so I don’t bother laying back down. I just stare quietly out the side window and wait for what’s about to happen next.

“So, the house you’re staying at belongs to Ryder. He’s my sister’s ol’ man and a member of the Inferno’s Clutch MC,” Whip says, turning into the driveway to a house that looks like a home. “They don’t live here anymore, kept it as rental. Luckily, it was empty so we can hole you up here.”
“Chains is going to get tired of this shit,” Shadow grumbles.
“Shit, don’t I know it, but the last two we sent this way, he ended up with one and Breaker the other.” Whip snorts.
I tune them out as Whip parks, and they get out. My eyes are on the house, more or less on the door. Because of this, I see him the moment he steps out the door.
He’s breathtaking and scary all at the same time. A few others step out with him, but my eyes are locked on him, and the way looks like he wants to be anywhere else but here.
Shadow gets out, and I suck in a breath to follow suit. He gets my door open as I hear someone call out.
“So, where’s this bitch you guys want us to babysit?”
I flinch at the harsh tone of his voice as I scramble out of the back seat with Shadow’s help.
“Watch the tone, Lynch,” Venom mutters.
“Yeah, Lils is still weak and needs to finish healing. She don’t need attitude,” Whip growls.
“I thought y’all were sending a mole for us to deal with,” another man states. His head is shaved, and he looks menacing.
“Couldn’t go into detail over the phone, Chains,” Shadow remarks.
“Right, then where the fuck is this chick?” Chains demands.
Shadow steps away enough for them all to see me, and I don’t bother looking at them. I keep my eyes locked on the ground.
“This is Lily,” Cyprus announces, coming up on the other side of me. “She was shot twice protecting Jamie.”
“My nephew?” Chains snarls. This must be the guy Victoria told me was her brother.
“Yeah, now, let’s get her in the house and in bed. Then we’ll finish this discussion.”
CHAPTERTHREE
SPEED
Staring at the woman the Devil’s Riot MC are surrounding, I have to admit she’s absolutely beautiful. Small, not quite as little as Tiny, but she’s maybe five-foot-five and a buck ten. She’s pale, probably paler still because of her not being fully healed and the long drive.
Her name’s Lily, that’s what they called her. Whip called her Lils, so these men are all protective of her. This shit isn’t something I expected. When Chains said we’d be babysitting a mole, I figured it was some bitch who fucked over the club. This woman is definitely not what I was expecting. Not in the least bit.
I stay focused on her as she’s brought into the house and taken straight to one of the rooms. Ryder has them put her in the master. The bed in there is bigger and she’ll be more comfortable. I know this because I’d taken a nap in there earlier while we were waiting for their arrival.
“We’ll be out here if you need anything. Staying the night and heading back tomorrow.” I hear Shadow saying.
“Okay, Shadow.”
Fuck me, if that isn’t the sweetest voice I’ve ever heard.
The door closes behind Shadow, and I watch as he joins the rest of us, blowing out a heavy breath. “We shouldn’t have had her push herself with this trip.”
“She’ll be okay,” Cyprus grunts. “She’s stronger than we all think she is. For fuck’s sake, think of the shit she’s lived through and what she did for Jamie.”
