My eyes widen, and I sit up straighter. "What did you do?"
He clears his throat again. "I slipped her a sedative."
My mouth drops open for a second while I process what he just said, “I’m-I’m sorry, but I'm pretty sure you just admitted to slipping her a sedative, but clearly I'm hearing things; there's no way you would go that far, right?"
I can practically hear his wince from here: "I, fuck, I didn't know what else to do. She's being stubborn and refusing to come home. It's been two months, brother; I want to come fucking home, and I can see she isn't actually fucking happy here, and I have her mother and sister blowing up my phone, asking if I've found her, which of course she fucking saw, thinking I was fucking her sister again because I'm the biggest fucking idiot on the planet and went there in the first place. I had to do something."
I sigh and rub my hand along my chin. "Brother, you and I both know they only want her because she's their cash cow, so to speak."
He curses, "I know, believe me, I know, but I need her home, Slicer. I can't keep living through you brothers, who she decided she would speak to. I need her, and I need her safe. Hairy is still around, following her. She's not safe, and I can't fucking risk you coming here to track the fucker in case he makes his fucking move."
I sigh, "Alright, brother. But be prepared; she's going to fucking hate you when she wakes."
"She already hates me, brother."
I just smiled a little and said, "Nah, she doesn't; she's in love with you. She's just struggling with the pain you put her through."
He sighs again, ignoring my words.
He'll always blame himself for what she went through, and rightly so; he never should have left her; it's just something he's got to try and forgive himself for, and he hopes she forgives him too. "We'll be home tomorrow; we'll have to put the clubhouse on lockdown or she will bolt. How’s Meghan doing?"
I sigh, “better. Her guilt has dimmed in her eyes, and she's finally gone back to work. Doc's been with her every day, which has helped her anxiety.”
"That's good, brother; that's really fucking good."
I hear groaning in the background, "Fuck, she's waking up."
I chuckle. "I'm guessing you only gave her a little sedative?"
He clears his throat again. Oh shit.
"Nah brother, I uh, I’m driving back in her car towing my bike behind us, which is why I won't be back until tomorrow. That's the second sedative I gave her after she woke up screaming at me and tried to run, which was after she kneeled me in the balls and gave me a bloody nose. Tell me again why we taught her to defend herself."
I burst out in laughter as Star's voice echoes through the phone: "I'm go-going to-to kill you, Flame!"
"It's Zayne, and you fucking know it!"
With that, the phone goes dead and my laughter bursts free again before I shake my head. I look down and sigh at the paperwork, but start to make a dent through it. One of the downsides of being a treasurer
A few hours later, I've done three-quarters of the paperwork. When my office door opens, I look up and grin at seeing my two girls coming in. Meghan grins at me, her blue eyes finallysparkling, just like her black hair that is down and full of glitter, matching her blue maxi dress that's also full of glitter.
Fucking Lilah and her pranks.
Last week, I'd gone to my bike only for a cloud of flour to come out of the exhaust. She had also gone into the sweet butts' rooms and poured green hair dye into all their bottles, which were fucking bad. I've never seen so many pissed-off women; I think that's one prank Meghan found hilarious.
The girl is a beautiful menace.
Lilah rushes over to me, her dress matching her momma's swishes as she jumps onto me, and I catch her, placing her on my lap before kissing her head.
"And to what do I owe this perfect visit?"
Meghan smiles. "I thought we could take Lilah to the seaside that's two hours away to celebrate."
I raise a brow. "And what are we celebrating, Wildcat?"
"My parents getting life with no parole with Cindy; nice adding her to all their paperwork, by the way, and the nursery being shut down."
I grin wide and nod my head. "Then a trip to the seaside sounds perfect. You in the club's Jeep?"
