Page 67 of Dagger

I don't take my eyes off my girl as Axel speaks, "Sunny, you volunteered pretty quick to cover for Amy today after refusing before you found out Dagger was home. Now, I'm wondering if this was your plan all along. Causing problems with a brother and his old lady is forbidden. It's in your contract, and you've broken it. Get your things, you're fired."

I look up in time to see her eyes widen in shock. "B-b-but she's not his old lady; he's just dating her; you can't sack me."

I see Clitter and several other sweet butts in the corner of my eye, their eyes wide as they slink back. Good. This had to happen to put these ladies in their place. They were getting too fucking comfortable.

Axel smirks as Stormy stands and walks over to us. He passes me the box, guilt still shining in his eyes, but I don't say anything to him; I haven't since he realized I wasn't a fucking liar.

I take the box from him with a nod. He sighs, shame shining through, but I ignore it as I let go of my girl, making her turn to me, and I grin at her as she looks at me confused before I open the box and take out the cut. Axel takesthe box while I keep my gaze on my woman's. I hear several intakes of breath from the brothers and the women in the room while Annalise and Cammy look ecstatic, bouncing on their feet, making me chuckle.

I lean forward and kiss Mel gently before rasping, "I love you, Melanie, and I want you to be my old lady." I hold up the cut while her eyes widen as tears pool in them. "What do you say, Precious?" she sniffles as her tears fall before she nods. The whole clubhouse erupts in cheers while I take her into my arms, ignoring the pain in my shoulder, and kiss her hard before I help her put the cut on.

I rub my nose along hers while gently wiping away her tears before I rasp, "I love you."

She sniffles, clutching my cut on my sides, "Not as much as I love you."

I grin before looking up, catching Cammy's eyes, and decide to give her an olive branch. "Can you sit with her while we're in church?" Her eyes water and she nods frantically before rushing over to me. She kisses my cheek, and I smile, trying not to be tense before I kiss my girl one more time. "I won't be long; then you and I, we're celebrating." Her eyes dilate, and I smirk before turning back to a shocked Sunny and saying, "You heard my Pres; get the fuck off our property."

Tears fall from her eyes as two prospects come either side of her, grabbing her arms. She starts to plead, but I ignore her before heading into church as several brothers pat my back and congratulate me on my way past. I'm tense by the time I take a seat, my skin burning from all the touches. I need my woman, and I've only just fucking left her.

Shit.

Everyone sits while I try to loosen up, and Axel bangs his gavel.

"Alright fuckers, church is in session."

Everyone looks at me, and I tense up again, realizing we're getting straight to it.

Axel clears his throat. "I know you don't want to talk about it, brother. I know most of us ignored your cry for help growing up, and you were and are angry at us for that, but we need to know. We all heard the rumors and the stories, but now we need to know what was true and what was not."

The brothers are all tense, guilt pouring from them, while Stormy looks ready to pass out.

I ignore them all as I stare ahead while the memories build up before the words spill out of me.

"The first memory I have was when I was three, which shouldn't be fucking possible but is ingrained in there."

I sniffle; my bear-bear is ripped, but I don't know how. Daddy, I want my daddy.

My tears fall harder when Les-Les comes into my room and scowls, making me slink back a bit. She gave me a weird mark on my arm yesterday because I dropped my cup; it hurt bad.

"What are you moaning about now?"

She sounds mad, and I sniffle, "bear-bear broken."

She rolls her eyes and says, "I know, you little brat, I tore it."

My eyes widen, and I start to cry. "I want my daddy."

Her eyes go hard, and her face is red before she looks at the fire; grabbing something while I get up and go running to Daddy's room until I feel something really hot on my back. I scream as pain shoots through my body.

What happened, and why does it hurt?

"DADDY"

I fall before Leslie grabs a hold of my arm, turning me. Anger shines through her eyes, and she's holding the fire poker thing. The end is red hot, and Daddy told me to never go near it. She gets in my sobbing face and says, "Call him daddy again, and the next time, I'll shove it down your throat. Got it? He's Stormy to you."

I sniffle and nod my head before she lets go of my arm and kicks me hard in the stomach, causing me to scream louder. We hear banging and running, and she quickly puts the poker back, her face changing from angry to scared as my daddy runs into the room.

"Oh my god, baby, he just ran into the wall on purpose."
