Without waking my woman, I grab the covers and throw them over the two of us. Closing my eyes, I allow myself to fall asleep.
“What the fuck do you mean Miles Granger has gone underground?” I snap into the phone I was holding to my ear. My brother-in-law, Levi called with an update on this fucker and evidently, he was feeling the heat of the Devil’s Riot MC and the men Levi work with.
“I mean the fucker isn’t here and there’s no trace of him in the area. My gut tells me he’s found Nora and is coming after her,” Levi growls.
“Fucker isn’t getting anywhere near her,” I swore. I promised my ol’ lady I’d protect her, whatever the cost when I married her and I’m not about to let her down.
“I know that. But just know that Flynn, Dash, and a few other men I work with are on their way toward you,” Levi grunts.
Motherfucker.
Great.
All I need is my wife’s brothers coming and getting in our fuckin’ way while we take care of business.
“I hope you’ve told your sister this,” I state as I sit back in my chair and look around the clubhouse’s main room. Spotting Tyres, I flag him down and mouth ‘Church’ to him. We’d already planned on having church later this evening after we’d all gotten some work done. I know I had shit to do with a shipment we had to get ready to go out.
Since I had shit to do, Nora decided to go take a nap in my room. She’d been tired a lot over the last week, but I figured it’s due to me wearing her out every night. I should feel bad for not letting her get her rest but fuck if I can’t get enough of her tight little body. Shit, just thinking of it has my cock getting hard.
“Figured you could handle telling our little sister since you married her without anyone there to give her away,” Levi snips.
Yeah, they’d been fuckin’ pissed when Nora told them. Said they sent her here for protection not to get married to someone she doesn’t fuckin’ know. That got me involved in the conversation. I had taken the phone from my woman’s hand put it to my ear and proceeded to inform the three of them the yelling at their sister stopped then and there.
“She may be my wife and I fuckin’ respect the hell out of her, but she deserves to hear that two out of three of her brothers are coming this way with some of your team. It’s not on me to tell her that shit. It’s called you show your sister the respect she should have from you three,” I rumble.
“If you respected Nora you wouldn’t have married her without her family being there,” he shot back.
“Bullshit. What Nora and I decided is between the two of us. Just because we did something for us doesn’t mean I wouldn’t give her the world if she wanted, let alone have some big fuckin’ wedding ceremony. Which, by the way, for your information, Nora has said she doesn’t want. Her words exactly were ‘Why do I want to put on some expensive ass gown to do a ceremony for something that will overshadow what we already have when I’m happy just having a blow-out party with everyone to celebrate.’ I wasn’t going to argue with her.” And I wasn’t. It was Nora’s decision and I’m not about to force her into doing anything else.
I’ve come to realize one major thing about my little Spitfire, she may have attitude and be over dramatic about a lot of things but she’s not a girly girl who wants to be showered with roses.
“Fuck, that sounds exactly like something she’d say,” Levi mutters.
“That’s because it is what your sister said. She’s happy here just so you know. Since she got out of your truck and I finally got her to talk to me, Nora has not gone one day without a smile on her face or giggling about something someone has said to her. Hell, she’s even convinced some of the guys to let her do their hair,” I grumble.
Now that was something I hadn’t wanted her doing. I didn’t like the idea of her touching any other man let alone my brothers, but I kept my mouth shut because this seemed to make her feel useful.
Hopefully, Levi will realize what I’m saying and listen to the unspoken advice I’ve just given to him. Be happy for his sister instead of pissed he didn’t have a say in what she did with her life.
“Look, Levi, call your sister. Tell your brothers to call your sister. I gotta go,” I mutter before hanging up on the man. Might not be the best thing to do right now but I’ve got shit to get done and a woman to protect.
What I don’t need right now is my wife’s stubborn as fuck brothers thinking they can come in and take over what the fuck we’re doing. Nora’s my woman and I vowed to keep her safe. Keep her from ever being harmed again.
Putting my phone in my pocket, I head in the direction of the room we hold church. I’d seen most of my brothers already go in there.
Once I’m inside the door slams shut behind me as Chains enters.
“You all good, brother?” he asks as he clasps a hand on my shoulder and squeezes.
“Naw, let’s sit and I’ll tell y’all,” I mutter shaking my head.
“Alright,” he agrees and moves to take his spot at the head of the table while I take my spot on his left. The way he moves and the fact his hands are in fists, I can tell something’s up with him.
Chains lifts the gavel and brings it down on the oak table our grandfather had made. “Now that we’re in here, tell us what’s going on,” he demands.
“Miles Granger has gone underground. I just found this out from
