“Your kisses are amazing,” I say when we pull apart.
Katie drops our food and coffee over and we eat in silence. I watch how she eats and am happy when she clears her plate. “Hungry, huh?”
“I haven’t eaten much over the last few months. I know it’ll probably hurt my stomach, but it was so good. It tasted delicious.”
I see she has some maple syrup on the edge of her mouth, and I lean forward and lick it off her and kiss her at the same time. “Sorry, I just wanted to taste that bit of syrup.”
She laughs. “You could have just taken some from my plate.”
“I wanted to taste yours.” I laugh and we sit in silence for a few minutes. It’s not awkward, just two people alone with their thoughts.
Suddenly, she stills and goes rigid, but moves down in her seat.
“What’s wrong?” I ask looking around the diner.
“I know that man.” She points out a guy near the door. “He was at one of the parties. He was a guest.”
Anger flows through me and all I want to do is to get up off the stool and kill him. “Did he hurt you?” I growl out with gritted teeth.
“Yes, he raped me and Mallory and lots of other girls.” She puts her hand on my leg to stop me from moving over to hurt him. “I don’t want him to see me, he might tell them, and they might come for me.”
I feel her fear. She is slowly slipping away from me; in her mind I can see she is taken back to the parties that were held. I pull her close to me. “Sweetheart, I’m going to get Katie to take you to the office. I need to have a chat with that guy.”
“Braxton don’t do anything stupid. Can’t we just get out of here?” She’s panicking now and I hate that she feels like this. Everything was good for a while.
“Piper, I need to get revenge for what he did to you. An eye for an eye.” I look up and nod at Katie and she comes over to us.
“Was everything okay?” She looks puzzled.
“Katie, everything is fine. Can you take Piper to your office for a few minutes. I need to talk to that guy over there by the door. Do you know him?”
She turns to look at him. “Yeah, he comes here quite often. I’ve spoken to him a few times, he’s quite sleazy, thinks he’s god's gift and that all the women find him attractive.”
“I’m going to call my brothers and we need to have words, but I need to keep Piper out of it. Will you take her to the office for me?”
“Of course, Braxton. Anything for the Black Saints.” She smiles at Piper and Piper looks at me.
“Baby, I promise everything will be fine. He might be able to tell us where Mallory is. He might know who’s in charge and we can get them and have revenge.”
“Don’t get hurt Braxton.” She hugs me and then leaves with Katie.
I pull out my cell and call Prez.
“Yeah,” Prez says.
“I’m at the diner with Piper and there’s a guy here who used to go to the parties. He raped her and Mallory and the other girls. I’m going to have words with him, but need a truck, because we need to take him back to the clubhouse and find out exactly what he knows.”
“You mean you’re going to restrain yourself until you get to the clubhouse, are you going soft, Brax?” Prez asks, confused. “But if this fucker has touched my sister, then he needs to die.”
“Exactly, but we need to find out what we can first. Send Ethan down with the truck so we can bring him home.”
“Done, give him five minutes and then he’ll be there. Don’t do anything in public.”
I grin. “You know me too well, but don’t worry I am going to do this one right. There’s too much at stake.”
I hang up and then I walk over to the man’s table and sit down opposite him.
“Hey, excuse me go sit somewhere else.” His face is red, and I can see that he eats too much fatty foods, he’s portly and balding. Clearly the only way for him to have a woman is to rape her. My stomach churns at the thought of what this man has done to my woman and Mallory.
