He pointed at Blade. “Protect her.”
“With my life if it comes down to it.” The weight in Blade’s vow made me a little weak in the knees, but he must’ve noticed because he wrapped his arm around my waist as Gideon strode out of the kitchen. “Don’t worry, baby. I won’t let anything happen to you.”
“I know it’ll sound weird, but even after what happened last night, I’m not worried about myself.” I leaned against his side. “My brother wouldn’t have left me with you guys if he wasn’t certain you’d find the drug dealer before he can get to me. But I can’t shake the feeling that he’s the one in actual danger.”
“Can’t share club business with you, but I can say that Storm will have Viper at his back while he’s gone. He’ll be fine.”
“He better be,” I muttered just as my stomach let out a loud rumble.
“Sounds as though you need some breakfast.” Blade dropped his hand to my lower back to guide me over to the counter where Sheila had laid out all the food. Everything looked too good to pass up, so I decided to eat my worries away.

BLADE
The rational side of my brain was telling me to take things slow with Elise. She was young—too damn young for me, but that wasn’t going to stop me from claiming her—and we’d met less than twenty-four hours ago.
But the other part was dying to be inside her, and now that her brother wasn’t an obstacle…
It was a fight in my head, but after watching Elise eat…seeing her moan with delight and slide her fork in and out of her plush, fuckable lips…the need to fuck her won out.
By the time she finished, I was surprised that my dick hadn’t punched through my pants. I was a big guy, and my long, thick cock was hard as hell, pressing tight against the zipper, which was probably leaving teeth marks in the sensitive skin.
Biting back a groan of pain, I stood from the table and took our dishes to the sink. When I turned and headed back to my girl, I saw Molly sit down next to her and begin to say something.
“Why don’t you come to our house while Storm is gone? No one here would hurt you, but since you aren’t claimed, you’ll probably get really sick of every guy around hitting on you.”
Molly giggled at her words, but they ignited a fire in my belly. She was wrong. Elise was taken, and I was gonna make sure everyone knew it. Starting with her.
“She’s staying with me,” I grunted in a tone that made it clear this wasn’t up for discussion.
Molly raised an eyebrow, but her green orbs were twinkling with amusement. However, it was Elise’s reaction that I paid attention to.
She turned in her seat and looked up at me, then double-blinked, her mouth parting in surprise. After a few seconds, she sighed. “You don’t have to watch over me just because I’m Storm’s sister. I—”
“Don’t give a fuck about your brother,” I growled as I came to stand directly in front of her and held out my hand. “You’re m—staying with me.” I’d almost declared that she belonged to me, but I caught myself at the last second because I didn’t want to have that discussion until we were alone in my room.
Elise’s lips curled up, and her brown eyes sparked with excitement as she placed her palm in mine. “Okay,” she agreed softly.
I helped her to her feet and lifted my chin at Molly, ignoring her knowing smirk, then led Elise out of the kitchen. While I had an apartment not far from the compound, I kept a permanent room in the clubhouse because I often needed to be here for someone overnight or to just crash if I treated someone at odd hours. I would have preferred to take Elise to my place, but I didn’t want her leaving the compound until the asshole who tried to kill her had been dealt with.
Deviant had discovered the guy’s name, but he hadn’t been able to locate him so far. All of our businesses were on the MC owned land in the town surrounding the compound, and most of the apartment buildings and houses were with either patches, prospects, or loyal families, so it was unlikely that he was local.What we were most concerned about was whether this was a one-time deal, or if the scumbag was part of a bigger drug ring that had decided to encroach on our territory.
I planned to jump into helping out with the investigation tomorrow, but for tonight, I was going to put all my focus on my woman.
My room was on the first floor, at the back of the house so that it was nearest to the clinic. There were a few suite-type rooms down that hall, but they were mostly used whenever one of my club brothers who didn’t have their own space needed to crash at the last minute or for guests. So it was pretty isolated, and that suited me just fine since I wasn’t keen on the idea of anyone hearing Elise screaming my name. Although, it was certainly one way to stake my claim.
When we reached our destination, I fished a key out of my pocket and unlocked the door before shoving it open and gesturing for her to enter. Being a doctor, I was used to keeping things organized and tidy. So the king bed was made and the only clutter was a worn paperback on one of the oak nightstands and a few items I’d left on the long dresser that faced the bed with a large flatscreen mounted above it.
The exterior wall had two windows, and beneath one of them was an old, comfy leather chair with a small table next to it. Elise wandered over and sat down, then turned on the little lamp and picked up the framed photo I kept there.
Her forehead puckered as she gazed at the two laughing toddlers in the picture. “You’re a dad?” Her eyes met mine, filled with confusion and hesitance.
“That’s my niece, Darrah, and my nephew, Devon,” I explained. Relief flooded her features, and I cocked my head to the side, studying her. “Do you want kids?”
A bright smile instantly spread across her face, giving me my answer before she said a word. “Oh, yes. I want lots of them.”She traced the cherub faces in the photo and sighed. “I love my brother to pieces, and he did his best to be there for me, but for the most part, I grew up like an only child since there are ten years between us. My parents were rarely there, and when they were, they acted like I wasn’t. I don’t want my kids to ever feel that kind of loneliness.”
I was happy to hear that she wanted a big family, but my chest ached at the sadness and pain she’d endured. Her parents were definitely on my shit list, and they had better stay the hell away from my woman.
