Revenge (27 page)

Grabbing the first thing nearest him, Tiny threw it
across the room. The cup shot past Devil’s head and smashed into the wall.

“You brought this crap to me, and now you’re running
off back to you town like a fucking coward.”

“Don’t you fucking say that shit,” Devil said,
yelling. “I’ve come to your aid every fucking chance I’ve got. I’m not turning
my back on you. I’m going to clean up a mess that has occurred. My woman’s
sister is fucking dead. I told that bitch to stay gone and she’d live. She’s
just turned up fucking dead, and I bet it has this bastard’s stamp on it.”

“You leave now and I swear we’re fucking finished,”
Tiny said, losing control. He was done with Devil, his shit, and his crew.

Devil started to laugh. “You really think our
friendship will be over? Are you even listening to yourself, or is this Alex
speaking? The jumped up businessman who thinks he can run a club.”

“This is all me. You walk out of here, and I swear,
that’s it. You can take your shit and get the fuck out of Fort Wills. You and
Chaos Bleeds will not be welcome here ever again.”

Tiny wasn’t in the mood to be tested.

“Boss?”
Zero asked.

“No, I don’t give a fuck what anyone says. You leave
Fort Wills now and consider us through.”

Devil folded his arms. “What about our women? They get
along, Tiny.”

“I don’t give a fuck what they do. We’re through, and
Eva will do what I ask. She’s my woman, and I’m the one who she should agree
to.”

“You’re fucking insane,” Devil said. “Gonzalez has you
freaked out, and you’re acting like a pussy
who
hasn’t
lost anything. You’re the one losing control here, Tiny. You’re too old to deal
with the club.”

He charged at the other man, tackling Devil to the
ground. They fought each other, their men staying out of the way as they
started to land blows. Devil kicked him off, and together they got to their
feet.

“You think I’ve lost control of my club?”

“Alex runs this fucking place, not you. You’ve got no
chance of making the tough decisions. You’re too much of a pussy.” Devil
slammed his fist against
Tiny’s
face. Blocking some
of the blow, Tiny punched Devil in the stomach. Pushing him out of the kitchen,
he charged him into the dining room. The table collapsed beneath their weight
as they fought. In the back of his mind, Tiny thought about his woman. Eva was
going to be so pissed at him.

“Tiny, you’ve got to stop this,” Lash said.

He wasn’t listening. This fucker was supposed to be
his friend, and he’d brought death to his door and was now leaving him to clean
up the mess.

After minutes passed, Lash and Pussy got between the
two.

“I want you out of my fucking town. Take your whores
and get out.”

Lash had to fight Pussy as he went to attack him.
“Don’t you call my woman a fucking
whore.
”

“No, boys, round your shit up and grab your women.
We’re out of this town.” Devil glared at him. He was sporting a black eye, and
blood was dripping down his nose. “You’re going to regret this.” Devil pointed
his finger at him. Tiny didn’t stop until Devil was out of sight.

“Go with him and make sure they don’t destroy the
club.” Tiny pointed at Lash to get him out of the house.

While the rest of his men cleared away the body, Tiny
sat in the sitting room, staring straight ahead of him. The hours passed, and
silence soon descended in the house.

The front door opened, and Eva appeared in front of
him. She wore a pair of blue jeans and a white shirt.

“What that fuck happened?” Eva asked. “Devil came and
got his club and Lexie. Apparently you’ve kicked him out of the town and told
him to take his whores with him.”

She knelt in front of him.

“He’s gone home to take care of his own shit. I don’t
need him here, and he can go and fuck himself.”

“You’re not thinking clearly, Tiny. We need Devil and
the crew. You’ve got to mend fences.”

“No, I don’t. I’m sick and tired of dealing with his
shit. I took out the bastard who hurt us, and I almost got Tate killed. Devil went
to pick a fight, and we’ve been attacked at every turn. Gonzalez was not my
enemy until Devil brought them to our town. He stayed to deal with this shit
until Gonzalez was in the ground. Devil’s decided to leave, and now I’m fucking
done.”

He ran a hand down his face, feeling incredibly tired.

“You think picking a fight with Devil is going to
solve your problems? You called their old ladies whores, Tiny. That’s wrong and
fucking mean.”

“I’m not picking a fight with him. I’m cutting him
off.”

“What?”

“Our problems began when we started to make deals with
the Chaos Bleeds crew. In the future, we’re not going to be making deals with
anyone else. We’re not part of the same club. We’re different.”

“That’s it? You’re cutting him off?”

“Yeah and in doing so we’re going to be stronger than
ever before,” Tiny said.

“You’re wrong, Tiny. This is going to tear us apart.”

He reached out and stroked her cheek. The bruise
annoyed him. She shouldn’t have been in any danger, and yet because of him,
she’d gotten hurt. All of the women in his club had gotten hurt or killed. He
wasn’t going to let that happen again.

“Devil and I, it’s over, Eva. Are you with me, or are
you against me?” he asked, gripping her chin.

Tears were in her eyes as he delivered the ultimatum.

“You can’t be thinking straight,” she said.

“Make your decision or you can follow Devil back to
Piston County, Eva. I mean it. I’m fucking done with him.” He regretted the
words the moment he spoke them.

She took his hands within her own. “I love you, Tiny
and I trust you. I’m not going anywhere.”

Eva placed her head in his lap. Closing his eyes, Tiny
hoped he made the right choice. For his sake and for that of the club, he hoped
he was right.

Chapter Twelve

Devil and Lexie

“What the hell
is going on, Devil?”
Lexie asked. Being packed
away in the car with their kids sitting in the back and falling asleep wasn’t
her idea of fun. From the bruises on his face along with the anger in his eyes,
she knew something bad had happened to her man.

“It’s fucking over, Lexie. We’re going back home.
Tiny’s
a fucking pussy, and he’s losing control over his
own fucking club.” Devil lashed out hitting the steering wheel.

Glancing in the back seat, she saw Simon was watching
his father.

“Stop it,” she said. “You don’t know what you’re
saying. I take it those bruises are from Tiny?”

“Yeah, we got into a fucking fight.”

“Is this a real fight you can’t solve, or are you both
just arguing?” She looked out of the window to see the bikes following them
back to Piston County. Being pulled out of bed and forced to pack late at night
had pissed her off. The anger on Devil’s face was a good indication that he
didn’t want to do it either.

“I don’t know what it means. Tiny kicked us out of
Fort Wills, Lex. He called you and all our women whores.”

Tugging her hands into fists, Lexie tried not to react
to what he said. “Eva’s going to kick his ass.”

“I don’t care. I’ve got something to do.”

His hands were tight as he gripped the steering wheel.
She’d seen Devil angry before, but he was also holding something back and she
didn’t like it. Something had gone down. She didn’t know what, and she intended
to find out.

“What happened?” she asked.

Devil glanced her way.
“Nothing.”

“Something had to have happened for Eva to be sporting
a bruise and Angel to look like she’d been hit in the stomach. You come into
town even though you told me you wouldn’t be home tonight. You tell me what’s
going on now, or I swear to God, you will not get anywhere near me in the foreseeable
future.”

“You’d withhold sex from me?”

“You’re withholding something a lot more important
than sex. We’re on the road in the middle of the night, Devil. Now is not the
time for you to be trying to keep secrets from me. I won’t have it. It’s not fair,
and I refuse to be pulled from one town to another just because you and Tiny
said some crazy shit to each other. Now, open up, or that’s it and you can
sleep at the club tonight.” She’d do it even though she wanted to feel him
tonight.

“For fuck’s sake.”
He growled the words, and Lexie was pleased she wasn’t the steering
wheel what with the death grip he had on it.

“Don’t keep me in the dark.”

He reached out to look in the back. Simon had fallen
back to sleep while they were talking. “Check and make sure he’s asleep. I’ve
seen the little shit pretending before.”

Rolling her eyes, she turned around and placed a
finger in the spot underneath his arm that always made him giggle.
Nothing.
Simon was dead to the world.
 

“He’s not pretending, and he only got that from you.”

“I don’t care where he’s got it from providing he
doesn’t do it to us.”

“Stop stalling and tell me what’s got your panties in
a twist.”

“I’m not wearing any.”

Shaking her head, she reached down in her bag to grab
a bottle of water. “You’ve got a one track mind, and you’re trying to distract
me. Just so you know
,
I’m not wearing any panties or
bra either.”

She’d thrown on a dress with how quickly Devil wanted
them out of the town.

“Are you for fucking real?” he asked.

Taking hold of his hand, she placed his palm between
her thighs. His fingers pushed the dress out of his way. Holding her breath,
Lexie closed her eyes as he touched her naked slit.

“Fuck, baby.”

She didn’t care if anyone could see them.

“You’re doing this to fucking kill me. I’m not going
to make it back home without taking you.”

Lexie chuckled, pushing his hand away. “Then you’re
going to have to deal with it. Tell me what happened or else you’re not getting
anymore.”

He released a sigh, sucking his fingers into his mouth.
“Fuck, you taste so good.”

“Stop stalling and tell me.”

“I don’t like this. You shouldn’t have to deal with
this crap.”

“Then you shouldn’t have pursued me the way you did.
Tell me what’s going on, and then we’ll talk about something else.” She
smoothed her skirt out to cover her exposed thighs.

“I fell in love with you, Lex. There was no walking
away from you after that.”

She smiled. Whenever Devil talked about his love for
her, he made her melt. “You know how to say all the right things.”

“A guy working for Gonzalez broke into Tiny and Eva’s
house. He attacked Angel because she was there. Lash sent her to Eva’s when he
wasn’t going to make it home. Eva then tried to help Angel and was hurt
herself. One of the new prospects, Baker, I think, saved them both. He tied the
bastard to the chair.” Devil stopped talking, and she saw his jaw tense.

“That’s not all?” she asked.

“No, not even close.”

“Then tell me, Devil. I’m not going to change my
thoughts about you. I knew you were a hard assed man when I married you. I’ve
been dealing with it a long time.” She rested her head against the chair and
looked at him. Lexie wasn’t stupid. She knew Devil had blood on his hands, but
she still loved him. To everyone else he was a tough as nails biker but to her
and the kids, he was this tender, sweet, loving man. So long as he continued to
be the man she loved, she didn’t care about anything else.

“Whizz tortured the information out of him. Everett
was the man’s name, and he’d been sent by Gonzalez to kidnap Eva. Once he had
her, he was to rape, torture, and finally kill her, sending bits of her back to
Tiny at the clubhouse.”

Pressing a hand to her stomach, Lexie felt the nausea
suddenly overcome her. “Stop the car,” she said.

“Lex, it’s fine, I’ll shut up.”

“I’m pregnant, and I’m going to vomit. Stop the
fucking car now.”

He pulled up against the side of the road. Tugging the
seatbelt off her, Lexie shoved the door open stepping away from the car. The
bikes containing their crew stopped, heading back toward them.

“Lex?”

She bent over, pulling her hair out of the way as the
first heave began. The dinner she ate started to come up. Devil took over,
holding her hair out of the way as she continued to vomit.

“Boss, is everything okay?” Pussy asked.

“She’s fine. She’s pregnant again, and her stomach’s
unsettled.”
