“They’re together and they’re fine. I have news for you.”
“Spill it, then get the fuck out.”
“It’s really good news.”
“Is your fucking father dead? Is the war fucking over?”
“No.”
“Then it ain’t good news.
“The war isn’t over, but it’s going to be. I have solved our crisis,” Kara said, barging the rest of the way in.
“What the fuck, Kara?” I demanded.
“Shut up for once in your fucking life, Tony. I just solved your fucking problem. I got the Crypt Keepers to agree to back us up entirely. I did what you couldn’t do, so I’m here to tell you I’m taking my claim as Prez of the Midnight Saints.”
“What the fuck?” I jumped up.
Austin jumped up to get between us. “Hang on, Tony! Like hell you are, you fucking bitch!”
I smiled at his reaction. “We don’t have to worry about my asshole father anymore. The Crypt Keepers are going to help us deal with him.”
“Since when do you have an in with the Crypt Keepers?” I didn’t even know why the fuck I was asking. I had answered my own damn question when I mentioned the dicks she had wrapped around her finger.
“I have an ex in their ranks. He got me an audience with the Prez. It was an easy deal. In exchange for a discount at the bar on Friends of the MC night, and a new ally contract, they agreed to help when shit goes down, and I promised we’d help if shit goes down.”
“We? We? Since when are you a Midnight Saint?” I barked over Austin’s shoulder, feeling a bit like I was in a playground fight.
“I was born a Midnight Saint, you fucking ass. I hate my old man for what he did, and I want to prove to him that he didn’t fuck us up as much as he wanted to. With me in charge.”
“With you in charge, we’re all screwed.” I laughed as I ran my hands through my blond hair. Austin seemed just as amused by the idea as I was.
“Oh really? You think you’re doing a good job holding this club together? I heard about all the shit that went down,” Kara said, jabbing a finger in my face.
“You don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about.” I swatted her finger away, moving around Austin to fight my own battle. The bitch wouldn’t dare try to hurt me. “Look, Kara, we came to you when shit first went down, and you all but gave us the finger. Do you remember that?”
“Yes, I remember that. Well, I changed my mind. I’m allowed to do that, you know. Things changed when that fucking asshole who gave sperm to make me broke into my fucking house.”
“You mean you changed your mind when you realized you needed us to protect your sorry ass.”
“I don’t need anyone’s protection. I came back to save your sorry asses, to save this fucking club, because, believe it or not, I actually do care about this fucking club and the guys and gals in it. What happened to Devon was beyond fucked up. He’s going to pay. Mark my words, one way or another, he's going to pay for that.”
“I’m the Prez now, so no, you fucking can’t just change your mind and want to take over. It doesn’t fucking work like that, Kara. Now, how the fuck do you know everything that went on?”
“Nope, not revealing my source, but you can trust them. I know I can.”
“I don’t even know that I can trust you, bitch.” Didn’t I just defend her to Austin? Maybe I should have let him do what he wanted. If someone told me this morning that Kara was going to walk into my club today and claim Prez, I would have gone after her and knocked some sense into her rather than meeting with a pissed off VP.
“Well, you fucking better learn fast because like it or not, I’m not going anywhere this time.”
“We’ll see about that,” I snarled.
“Seriously, you two need to go fuck and get it over with,” Austin said. “We can deal with this shit after that.”
“I’m not going near that fucking cunt, and if you suggest it again, I’ll fucking knock your fucking teeth out.” I shook my fist in his face. He just laughed. I was glad one of us was having a good fucking time here.
“What makes you think I’d ever let your fucking gross ass cock near my pussy?” Kara snapped at me.
“Then we’re in agreement.”
“We are.”
“Fine, now get your fucking cunt out of my fucking clubhouse.”
“No!” Kara crossed her arms and stood her ground, and it took me by surprise. I felt myself stir in my pants, and that only fueled my rage. Fuck, why did women like this have to be so damn sexy? Power and that body? Fucking tats almost from head to toe like a piece of art, long hair down to her firm ass . . .
What the fuck? I needed to snap out of it.
“Austin, remove her from the premises.”
“Austin, you fucking touch me and I’ll fucking kick you where it fucking hurts,” Kara threatened.
“Where the fuck is Seth when I fucking need him?” I said, ripping at my hair. “I’m going to fucking kick his fucking ass for choosing that fucking Diablo whore over us.” Truth was, I didn’t really mean it. I couldn’t imagine ousting Seth, but he sure as hell was a good place to put my anger right now when I needed to not further the tension in the room, which was a mix of rage and lust.
“Be careful, Tony, you don’t want Seth to—”
“What? Leave us for the fucking Blue Diablos? Do you think he’d really take the girl he claims he loves back to them? Austin, where is your fucking head? Maybe I need to fucking kick your ass to wake your ass up.” I swore he was trying to play devil’s advocate today for the hell of it.
“Okay, Tony, enough, and you could certainly
