“Let’s get them to the holding cells, and we’ll get them talking there.” Viper grunts. “Actually, let’s get them there, leave ’em til morning. Let ’em think on their actions and what we’re gonna do to them.”
“Works for me,” I mutter. I want to talk to Rosemary. Find out what happened to her. What she has to say first.
“You know you’re gonna have a fight on your hands with her?”
Cocking a brow, I give Cobra a chin lift, knowing what he’s talking about. “Saw it in her eyes.”
“So, you admit it then?”
Do I?
Yeah, I fucking do. Seeing her again, I know without a doubt I want her again. But this time around, I’m going to be smart about it. She’s not a one-and-done. Rosemary is a hell of a lot more than that. And she’s mine.
Meeting her brother’s gaze, I nod once and grit out two words he wanted me to admit at the clubhouse. “She’s mine.”
CHAPTER5
ROSEMARY
“Why don’t you go take a shower, Princess?” Dad suggests upon us stepping into the clubhouse. The Devil’s Riot MC clubhouse.
I remember Jade telling me about the move and asking me to come with her. Of course, I agreed. She’s my best friend, and I could’ve found another gym to work at, even if it wasn’t a management position. Either way, I intended to move with her and Viper when they moved here. Now they’re here, and I’m not sure what to do or make of it all.
I wrap my arms around myself and nod, not speaking a word.
“Rosemary,” Jade cries out and rushes forward, only to come up short by my dad. Her eyes wide as she takes a good look at me and the blood coating my hands, my body, and my hair. It’s everywhere, and I don’t have to see it to know I’m covered in tonight’s victim’s blood.
“Easy, sweetheart. She needs room to shower and get cleaned up.”
I flinch at the gentle tone of my dad’s voice. It’s a rarity to be heard. I think the last time he spoke so softly to me was when he told me my mother was gone. I cried in his arms. Later, I’d gotten mad and blamed him, him and his club. Because of them, I didn’t have a mother.
“Come on, I’ll show you where you can do that.” Jade nods, holding her hand out.
“I’ll show her.”
The voice comes from directly behind me, causing me to tense. I hadn’t heard him come in. I didn’t know he was there.
“I can do it, Kevlar,” Jade remarks, narrowing her eyes.
“Yeah, but Viper needs you to do something for him,” Kevlar states, coming up next to me, his hand taking mine. “I’ll show her where to go.”
I refuse to speak, to say a word. It all feels like a dream. That at any moment, I’ll be back with Dominic, and he’ll succeed in doing as he wanted to do with me. What he’d been telling me he intended to do while we’d been in the back of the SUV.
“Let me know when you’re done, Princess, and I’ll bring you something to eat,” my dad says, releasing me to Kevlar.
Again, I nod and allow Kevlar to pull me from the room.
I have so many questions.
Questions that I want answers to, but I don’t know where to begin. I mean, for one, what were my dad and brother doing here? I didn’t think they knew any of the members of the Devil’s Riot MC. I knew Jade’s brother, Jensen, knew who they were. He was even friends with my brother somewhat, but they both swore to keep my relationship to themselves. I didn’t want anyone to know I had anything to do with them.
It’s not that I don’t love them. I do, but at the time, things were so bad, I’d been so angry, I needed to be away from them all. I cut ties with them, and they allowed me this on the condition I don’t close the door on them. That they give me the chance to stay a part of my life, even if at a distance. Now they’re here. They came for me. I can only assume they heard something.
That’s something else I want to know, how they found me. How they got me away so easily. Nothing is ever that easy. There’s always something. Dominic went with them without a fight, and that can’t be good. He must have had something up his sleeve. He had to. It’s the only explanation that makes sense.
Kevlar guides me into a room and closes the door. “Jade refused to leave your stuff behind when we moved. She said you need it here when we finally found you. They’re still packed up in another room, but for now, you can use one of my shirts.”
I blink, uncertain I heard him correctly.
