And then, without anyone else knowing, Anthony finally did what she had been craving. In her bedroom, after she had killed a man, and he helped to hide it, he kissed her, and it was the best kiss of her life.
It was a kiss no one was ever going to know about.
Chapter Three
Present Day
“Still no change?” Angel asked.
“No.”
“It has only been a day.”
“And Anthony has not left the hospital,” Lash said. He moved to sit on the edge of the bed, and he ran a hand down his face.
He was getting old, and right now he felt tired. There was a meeting with the Billionaire Bikers MC in a week. They needed to talk.
“What are we going to do?” Angel asked.
“Tomorrow, if I have to, I am going to physically remove Anthony from the hospital. He is going to shower, get changed, we will feed him, and then I will see.”
“He will not leave Daisy, not for long. You know this and so do I.”
Lash felt his wife at his back, wrapping her arms around his neck.
He should have known this was coming. Anthony had been too ... complicit the last year. He knew his son hated the association with Monster Dogs MC. He knew Anthony would opt for the shittiest jobs to get out of going, or at least he had the five years Simon had been out of Tabitha’s life.
He put his hand on top of his wife’s arm. The Monster Dogs MC had it coming. The club didn’t know the finer details the Billionaire Bikers MC had told him.
The Billionaire Bikers MC was a group of ten rich-as-fuck men with a lot of money, a lot of power, and a serious vendetta against all human traffickers in the world. Many years ago, they had approached not just him and Chaos Bleeds, but several other MCs, including the Trojans, Saints and Sinners, and Dirty Fuckers MC, but the details got lost. They wanted to give an opportunity to all those willing to help. As long as Lash could remember, the Skulls and Chaos Bleeds had faced enemy after enemy, had lost good men and women. His own wife had lost their first child, and that had sent her into a psych ward for a short time. The kids had been shot at. The clubs had nearly been wiped from existence, and against the odds, they had been able to bounce back. It hadn’t been easy. None of what they had done had been easy. It had been hard work.
Billionaire Bikers MC offered them a solution. They get out of the criminal life and work with them. Aligning with them allowed the law to get off their back. Their suspected criminal dealings would be over. They would instead help save women and children, even men. They stopped the kidnapping, selling, and distribution of trafficked human beings. It wasn’t an easy job, and each task came with risks.
All they had to do was stay out of trouble and not turn their back on the agreement they had made. Lash saw this as the lifeline it was. The club would not have survived without it.
He was done burying club members. He was done hearing his wife’s screams, and worrying about his children. He was through with it all. This was not cowardly. Deep down he knew Tiny would never have done it, but Tiny nearly got them all killed. Lash would not get them killed. He wanted them to live.
Fighting for innocent lives did not make them cowards. They were doing the right thing, and he had seen the power of the Billionaire Bikers MC. The damage real evil bastards could do. Selling children like they meant nothing. Pimping out women for sick games. Lash had seen it all.
There was some stuff he would never even tell his wife about. The Skulls still killed people, especially those that deserved to die. And the Monster Dogs MC was on the Billionaire Bikers MC radar.
When Ryan raped Tabitha, Lash had every intention of wiping that club from existence until the Billionaire Bikers MC told him what they knew. Monster Dogs MC was known within the trafficking world. The club moved from city to city, hunting down women, finding and kidnapping any and all that would bring in a good price. They paid people to find the best. Even going into schools and finding girls who didn’t have parents that cared. Stalking them, then taking them. They were a target of the Billionaire Bikers MC.
They needed the Skulls to form an alliance with them, an agreement that would not impact either club. Lash had to make the Skulls appear to be the guilty party, and he couldn’t allow Devil to know. He couldn’t allow anyone to know.
This secret was all on him. And he alone could figure out where they were going and what they were doing, saving as many lives as possible. But he also had to make sure some of them slipped through the cracks. He hated knowing there were women and girls hurting because he had to play it safe, but the Monsters Dogs MC were also part of something bigger.
