“I will probably never forgive myself for my negligence in that matter. Being busy isn’t a reason for not doing right by Scarlet. Especially when I didn’t insist on speaking to her after she left. I also should have trusted my brothers to keep everyone safe inside the compound. I trusted them to keep Sunshine and Rainbow safe here. I should have kept Scarlet here as well. My only defense is that I thought anywhere would have been safer than this compound. But I wasn’t sending the women or girls away without protection, and I thought Scarlet wanted to be with Hammer. Claw told me she did.”
“I guess that’s not a mistake you’ll be making again anytime soon. Or ever, really.”
“I’m not, as you say, a fuckwit. I learn from my mistakes. Especially one as big as that one was.”
“So now, we need to go see Gina.”
“It’s close to three a.m. I doubt she’s awake.”
“So, first thing in the morning, then.”
I grinned. “So we’ve got time.”
Her smile was simply to God glorious. “Oh, yeah. We’ve got time. And I know just what I want to do with that time.”
“I hope it involves getting naked again.”
“It does. Only, I have one request.”
“Anything.”
She picked at the collar of my shirt she wore. “I’m gonna need some clothes that actually fit. Much as I like wearing your clothes, I can’t look like a kid playing dress-up when I take it to the rest of the club.”
“I suppose that would take some of the sting out of whatever you decide to say.”
“Can’t have that. So, I need a couple of T-shirts and jeans. And maybe some motorcycle boots, ‘cause old ladies need to look the part. Speaking of which.” Her expression hardened again. “Where’s my fuckin’ vest?”
I barked out a laugh before wincing and glancing toward the room where I hoped Effie was still asleep. “Honey, you got here less than twenty-four hours ago. I can’t pull a property cut outta my ass.”
“How long?”
“It’s being made. You’ll have it tomorrow before we call church.”
She poked me in the chest none too gently. “I better. I don’t want to go in there without something to prove what I am, but I will. And if any one of those motherfuckers challenge me, I will bust a motherfucker up.”
“All right,” I grunted, bending to scoop her up. “You’ve done it now.”
“Rocket, what are you doing?” She didn’t struggle but looked appropriately put out.
“Takin’ you back to bed. You gave me a hard-on and I need to fill your pussy with more cum.”
She jerked back, looking at me with a surprised mien. “Oh. Well, then.” She pointed to the bedroom. “Carry on.”
Chapter Thirteen
Lemon
It was later than I intended to get up when Rocket finally roused me out of bed. To be fair, he’d kept me up all night. First the sex, then our talk. Then more sex. And I might have woken him a couple more times for sex. What can I say? When it’s good, it’s good.
Effie was all smiles and curiosity, but I could see the forced cheerfulness on her little face. Kid would need all kinds of therapy and getting it would be an issue since I’d decided we both needed to effectively fall off the grid. Like, forever. I’d get Wylde on that. Crush might be able to do it, but I wasn’t counting on him until I knew more about him. He might not have done anything overt, but he was still on my shit list. I had the feeling he knew way the fuck more than even Rocket thought he did. I also thought he could have kept closer tabs on Scarlet. But one thing at a time.
“I’ll have Crush give Gina a heads-up we’re coming.”
“NO!” I jumped up from bed and snagged the T-shirt Rocket had kept pulling off me last night. I’d given up trying to keep it on and just tossed it over a chair after the third round. “Don’t do that.”
He gave me a puzzled look. “Why not? She’ll want to be prepared for us.”
“Exactly.” I gave him a curt nod and marched out of the bedroom to the kitchen. I was fucking starving.
