Loving Nicole (Savage Brothers MC #3)(20)

“Where’s our guest?”

“Frog’s sitting on him at the shed,” Hawk speaks up.

I look up at all my brothers. None are smiling, which is good because we’re in the middle of a crap-fest. That said, Bull’s look is different. Fuck, I can’t deal with more than one f*cking mess at a time.

“Call Frog, tell him to let the son of a bitch go.”

“The f*ck you will, that might be the only lead we have back to Dani!” Crusher yells.

“Crush, man, I’m not telling your ass again. Rein your shit in. Nicole said Dani left on her own. She promised to check in soon with Nicole. We’ll have to wait to handle that shit then. For now, listen up because I’m not going to f*cking explain myself to you again. We’re letting the weasel go and we’re following him back to his man. Got it?”

“We need to work him over and find out exactly what they know about Dani. We can get this Michael’s whereabouts from him that way. None of this cat and mouse shit,” Crusher argues yet-a-f*ck-again.

If I were still standing up, I’d kick his ass. I’m too f*cking tired and worn out to fool with it right now.

“Get the f*ck out!” I order instead. The room goes silent.

“Damn it, Drag! We have to…”

“You’re not hearing me motherf*cker, I said get the f*ck out. I can’t deal with your shit right now. You are out of this until you manage to get your head out of your ass, untie the knot in your balls and listen to sense.”

“Drag!”

“Get out, motherf*cker! Now.”

Crusher’s face is frozen and he’s pissed. I can see it big time, I also know I’m doing this now, so there’s not a bigger problem later.

He slams out the door without another word.

I sigh heavily. Fuck.

“Now, let’s talk over this shit and then you call Frog and tell him to let the son of a bitch free.”





Chapter 12




Crusher


I stomp out of the meeting without another f*cking word. Son of a bitch wouldn’t listen anyways. He’d be singing a different tune if it was Nicole out there missing. I’ve been messing around with Dani for a month now. I thought it was just sex. Hell, that’s all I’ve ever wanted from a woman. I don’t think I’m built for more—or at least I wasn’t.

Then the damn woman turned shit on me. She got jealous of a f*cking night I had before her and I even hooked up. Freak’s woman Nikki had never had a threesome and wanted to. Brother trusted me to show his woman a good time—and it f*cking was a good time. Still, it wasn’t something I was looking to repeat. Dani flipped her f*cking lid. Sure, she thought it was something more recent, but still. If I live to be a hundred I don’t think I will ever figure that damned woman out.

Maybe that’s what keeps me interested. I don’t know. All I know, is that she is different from any woman I’ve been with. Dani has so many layers, I’m not sure I’ll ever reach the center. The only thing I am certain of is that trying will be a hell of a ride.

The last few days have been special. Something happened when she thought I had screwed another woman while visiting her bed. I don’t know what exactly, I just know it caused her to reveal a little more of herself to me and in doing that I saw this vulnerable side I never knew existed with Dani. She let me in…not a lot, but enough that she spoke vaguely of her past and her fears.

I need to keep her safe. She might not have told me the story, but I saw the desperation in her eyes when she thought of it. I heard the fear in her voice and the hopelessness that was inside of her. I’m not in love; I don’t do that shit. I will never be the type to be owned by a woman like Dragon, or Dance for that matter. But, I wasn’t lying when I told Dragon she’s mine. I’ve claimed her and I will protect her.

So even though it’s against Dragon’s orders, and everything I should do as a member of the club, I’m getting the ATV out of the shelter and driving up to the cabin. I’m going to interrogate the bastard and I will find out where the f*ck this Michael is before he can hurt Dani.

“Hey Crush, Drag and the boys didn’t say anyone was coming back tonight,” Frog says as he unlocks the shed door after I knock.

“Drag’s stressed man, he probably forgot. He tell you about plans for the piss-ant we’re holding?”

“Yeah dude, I was just about to go in there and let him go.”

“I’ll do it, I’m supposed to relieve you anyways. I got to play shadow and see where the f*ck the dude heads out to.”

“Sounds like a fun job—not.”

“Pretty much, but one of the sorry-ass perks of being the club VP.”

“I hear ya’. I guess I’m out of here then. Call me when you need relief.”

“Will do,” I say and barely keep from screaming get the f*ck out. Frog pisses in the wind for another ten minutes or so and finally leaves.

I lock the door and go into the back area where the dipshit is chained up. There’s no coming back from what I’m about to do. I know it, but I’m still going to do it. Am I doing it for Dani? Yeah, she’s a big reason but not all of it. Dani screams of fear, she screams of being trapped. She screams with the same scent and brokenness as another woman in my life. A woman I lost long ago. A woman I wasn’t able to help and that won’t be the case this time.
