Shannon arrived with the president of another motorcycle club. Not long after the introductions were made, the men went into Church leaving us girls sitting awkwardly in the common room. Shannon sat off to the side quietly sipping her water while Reese left the room to change James’s diaper.
I was trying to come up with something to say to Shannon when we heard a loud commotion followed by Chase’s enraged voice shouting, “You mean your piece of shit offspring killed my family?” The doors to Church flew open, and my brother came out frantically searching for Reese.
While Shannon told him where Reese had gone, I got to my feet and walked into a room I had no business entering, but I could clearly see Chase on his knees struggling against Phoenix’s hold and knew he needed help.
Phoenix was yelling for me to stay back, but I kept going until I was directly in front of Chase. He stopped fighting and looked up at me with so much anger and pain in his green eyes. I cupped his cheeks in my hands and put my mouth to his ear. “You can’t do this right now, big guy,” I whispered. “Your family needs you to be strong and stay calm.”
His big body relaxed, and his head dropped to his chest. I so badly wanted to pull him into my arms and comfort him, but I couldn’t. Instead, I whispered, “You can use my body to work through it later.” Then, I patted his shoulder and let him know I would be right outside the door if he needed me. Without making eye contact with anyone else in the room, I turned on my heels and planted my ass in a chair right outside the room, just like I promised.
The next thing I knew, I was being shuffled into a panic room with Reese, James, Shannon, and Ember while the guys went off to deal with club business. Several hours later we were being driven to the hospital in Devil Springs with no idea what awaited us.
When Byte said Chase had been hit, I fell to the floor with Shannon before the rest of his words registered. It wasn’t serious. Still, all I could do was look to Reese with pleading eyes and hope she understood my question. “Where is Duke?” she demanded.
Thankfully, my brother wasn’t injured. Once I knew he was okay, I tried to focus on Shannon. Her man wasn’t okay and might not make it from what I understood.
When Chase walked into the waiting room with a large bandage on his arm and locked eyes with me, I felt my entire body sigh in relief. He winked and turned his attention back to the room.
At some point, Chase was called out into the hall with my brother and Phoenix. Then, Duke was calling for Reese, and I just knew it was because of Chase. When Duke and Reese returned without Chase, it was all I could do to remain in my seat. I watched the doorway, waiting for him to return, but he never did.
Duke placed his hand on my shoulder. “Do you want to stay at the Devil Springs clubhouse tonight or do you want to stay at Aunt Leigh’s?”
“Are you and Judge going to be at the clubhouse?” I asked.
“Yes, we are. Reese will be there, as well as Ember and Dash. And you know Aunt Leigh will stay there, too, if you ask her.”
“Okay, I’ll stay at the clubhouse.” I really would have preferred to stay at the house that was my home for eight years of my life, but I was hoping I would be able to see Chase at some point if I stayed at the clubhouse.
Once I was settled in my designated room, I locked the door and headed for the shower. Even though I was exhausted, there was no way I would be able to sleep knowing I was covered in hospital germs.
I found Chase on my bed, propped up against the headboard when I emerged from the shower. Dropping my towel, I went straight for him, completely forgetting that I was naked and still somewhat wet. I straddled his waist and brought my lips to his. “I’ve been so worried about you,” I confessed. “Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I am now,” he whispered against my lips and deepened the kiss.
He groaned, and I immediately froze. “Is it your arm?” I asked, worried that I had inadvertently hurt him.
“No, baby, it’s my cock. You made him a promise earlier, and he’s ready for you to make good on it.”
I giggled. “And what exactly did I promise your cock?”
“That he could use your body to work through his troubles,” he said as his lips slid down my neck. “Undo my jeans, Harper.”
I could feel my body preparing for him. I loved it when he took charge in the bedroom, though I wasn’t sure how much he could do with his injured arm.
“Now, Harper,” he ordered with a light slap to my ass. I scooted back and set to work on getting his jeans open. Once I had him free, I wrapped my hand around his shaft and gently ran my fingers over the barbells that lined the underside of him.
“Stop,” he commanded, and my hand instantly stilled. “Raise up on your knees.”
I did and impatiently waited for the next instruction.
“Are you ready for me?” At my nod, he added, “Show me.”
I kept my eyes locked with his as my hand trailed down my stomach to the apex of my thighs. I reached between my legs and slowly slid one finger inside myself. I moved it in and out a few times before holding it up for him to see.
He brought my finger to his mouth and licked it clean. “Fuck me, Harper,” he growled.
No need to tell me twice. I grabbed ahold of his cock, positioned it at my entrance, and slid down his shaft. I started rocking my hips slowly and gradually increased my pace until I was bouncing up and down and our skin was loudly slapping together with each fall of my hips.
His good hand firmly gripped my hip as he ordered through gritted teeth, “Come.”
