Never Let Go (Devil's Chariots Motorcycle Club Book 2) (9 page)

“Wow,” Johnny pretended to care about her touching him. “That's a pretty fucked up scheme. When was he planning to do this?”

Velvet shifted her body and began to bend down. She was going to blow him right in the middle of the clubhouse. Holy fuck. However, her words right beforehand ended any hopes she had of it happening.

“He's already doing it,” she huffed. “Darryl doesn't waste any time.”

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

“What's up?” Chris answered the phone as quickly as he could.

Johnny was already pissed and yelling before he even said anything. What the fuck did he expect? Hell, that brunette was giving him the ride of his life when his phone had rang. Was he supposed to stop her so that he could tend to the needs of a brother?

“Where's Beth?” The breathless sound of his friend annoyed him.

“What do you mean?” Chris asked. “You interrupted what I was doing to ask that?”

“Fucking shit man, it's important!” Johnny screamed. “Where the fuck is Beth?”

“I don't know,” Chris answered. “Why?”

“What the hell do you mean you don't know?” Johnny was livid. “Isn't it your job to watch her?”

“Not twenty-four-seven,” Chris argued. “I have needs too, ya know?”

“So you are getting your rocks off while Beth is currently being romanced by the man that wants to kill her?”

The words jolted Chris out of his world of hot sex and babes. Did Johnny just say what he thought? Beth was dating a killer? What the hell had happened since he'd seen her last? It'd only been a day.

“What do you mean?”

“Darryl,” Johnny said, as if that was all he needed to say.

“The douche accountant?” Chris asked.

“No,” Johnny said. “The leader of Hell's Order that's pretending to be a douche accountant.”

Chris fell into the chair behind him in shock. Damn, that dude had faked his persona very well. He was a highly skilled liar, and Beth was in serious danger. What kind of a fuck-up wouldn't have seen this game?

“I'll head there now,” Chris answered. “I'll call you back in a few.”

The drive to Beth's seemed long and tedious. Chris berated himself the entire time for the way he had mishandled this situation. He knew better. She needed to be watched over all the time—even if it meant he didn't get any.

He also had missed the danger completely. He'd thought being with Darryl would keep her safe. No one was going to strike with a nerdy boyfriend in the way. Boy had he been wrong. Holy shit. How was he going to tell Beth her boyfriend wanted her dead?

Turned out he wouldn't have to. When he got to her house, there was no one home. He had a key, so he let himself in to wait on her. Before he could even sit on the sofa, he saw the note she'd left him. He read it three times before the message sank in and another three or four times to make it something he could talk to Johnny about.

Still, he wasn't ready to call him. Granted, the club needed preparation. But how was he going to tell them of the danger that she was in? Or where she'd gone? Or why? Or anything? Mostly how was he going to tell his brothers that he'd been so absorbed in sex that he'd let Beth slip through his hands?

“Well?” Johnny answered when Chris called him back. “Been damn near long enough.”

“I've got some bad news,” Chris stated.

Really bad news, he thought. Bad enough to make Johnny hate him forever—not that it mattered. If anything happened to Beth because of him, Chris would hate himself. He was just glad he was talking to Johnny and not Stan—that asshole wouldn't have even faked decency.

“Fucking talk,” Johnny yelled, and Chris thought maybe Stan would have been better.

“She's gone,” Chris answered.

“Gone? Where?” Johnny was in panic mode.

“She left a note,” Chris stated.

“SO fucking read it,” Johnny yelled at him.

“Okay,” Chris paused and Johnny could hear paper being situated. “Hey Chris, I assume you will be by to check on me. I'm not here. Darryl is taking me to a friend's wedding in California. I'll be gone for like a week. If you need me, call. Otherwise, I hope to be enjoying myself. Take care and I'll be back soon. Hugs and Kisses, Beth”

“Hugs and kisses?” Johnny asked.

“Friendly ones,” Chris answered.

“I see,” Johnny stated. “Where in California?”

“I have no clue. That's all it said.”

“Did you try to call?”

“Yes, Johnny,” Chris answered. “It goes right to voicemail.”

“Fuck!” Johnny exclaimed.

“What now?” Chris asked.

“I guess now I find out where the fuck they are, and I go take him out before she gets hurt,” he answered.

“And if you can't do that?”

Johnny thought long and hard about his goal.

“It's not an option. I have no choice,” Johnny said. “Nothing will happen to Beth as long as I'm alive.”

“I can come help,” Chris stated.

“That would be great.”

“Cool,” Chris replied. “Then let's do this.”

Johnny looked around at the room, and all he could see was Beth's face.

“Let's do it now,” he answered and hung up the phone. It was time to end this shit once and for all.
