Page 40 of Shock
“Just a little lovers quarrel. These two idiots abandoned their post, though. I want them questioned.” Mayhem sees his god-sister crying and scoops her up to check on her.
“Did he hurt you?” I laugh and turn so he can see the guy’s face.
“As if,” Shock snorts at the question in mock outrage.
“Nova, get the door for me. Shock, the med kit is under the bar. I’ll put him in your room.” I start to walk away, but she calls after me.
“Cowboy?” I turn in the doorway to look at her.
“Hogtie him.” I smile.
“Yes, Ma’am.”
CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR
SHOCK
“Who is he?”Mayhem growls as Cowboy disappears with Diego.
“My old boss. Stupid fucking idiot.” I hiss my response out in annoyance.
What was he fucking thinking?
“What? He followed you down here? Why?” Nova questions, and I shrug.
Anyone’s guess is as good as mine.
“Is it a safe bet to assume that we’ve just caught your stalker?” Seer asks with a serious look on his face.
“Yeah, but no way is he the serial killer!” I point at him, shaking my head because I know what’s coming next.
“CHURCH!” Fuck.
Mayhem goes and pulls the food off the grill, and we all make our way inside. I’m yet to get a tour of this place so I follow behind the club members.
We climb the steps to the private quarters and hang a right down a hallway I haven’t explored. At the end is a set of double doors. Seer pushes them open, and a large table comes into view in front of a wall of windows.
“WOW,” I exclaim as I’m brought face to face with a view of the French Quarter.
“They can’t see us. It’s one-way glass.” Cowboy says from behind me, making me jump.
“He’s out cold and tied down to your bed.” He smirks and moves to take his place next to his President, Seer.
“Are we all up to speed on the situation in Reno?” Seer asks the group in the room.
Most of the club lives on-site, but a few members still live at home with their parents since they either just joined or are still in school.
“Shock, why don’t you tell us who our new guest is.” Seer sits at the head of the table and crosses his arms.
His face is a mask of ‘Don’t fuck with me’ and ‘Remember you’re a guest’. I nod and sit gathering my thoughts, trying to figure out what the important bits they need to know, but knowing that fucking Nova is gonna pry if I slip up.
“Doctor Diego Espinosa was my boss for the last few years. We have been exploring a sexual relationship very recently.” I cringe at how timid that came out.
“How recently?” Nova leans in and staples his fingers together, eager for more info to gossip about.
I swallow hard before answering.
“The night before we left.” Nova’s grin grows as he sits back.
