Shady: MC Romance (24 page)

Dom frowned and stared at her before pouring the drink. “We will need to remind you soon of the way a real woman acts. With the privacy this place provides, your lessons will be quite easy to do.”

“Yes, please make sure you warn me when you are going to give me that lesson. I will make sure to pay close attention to your tutelage. I remember the other lessons you taught me, every fucking second of them,” Shady laughed.

“You have led us on a merry chase, Francesca. I thought you had learned better when you were younger,” Dom said with a chastising tone.

“Everyone grows up, even in a fucked up crazy ass house. Plus, let’s be truthful, you could have taken me a month ago, but you shot me. I am a little confused as to why you actually changed your mind. I mean, it doesn’t make sense if you want my inheritance,” Shady said slowly. She needed to keep him talking, the guys would have found out she was gone by now, they would be coming for her. She knew it.

Dom grinned and said, “Ah, so you know about your father. Good, I didn’t want to have to tell that sad story to you. It would only bring up bad memories.”

“You mean the story where your father, the sick fuck that he is, somehow convinced my mother to leave my father and then he killed him in order to have the company worth billions of dollars be transfer to me. It is brilliant I guess, abusing a girl so she was so broken, she would comply with everything you wanted. I just don’t get why the fuck you thought you would get away with it. I mean, even if I hadn’t run away, I would have told someone,” Shady laughed. “No matter what you do, I will never allow you to use me for
my
father's money.”

“That is where you are wrong, my Francesca. You will do exactly what I say or there will be dire consequences,” Dom said ominously.

“What the fuck ever,” Shady laughed. “Like seriously, that fucking is not gonna happen. You have already taken everything from me. How about we don’t play this game? Let’s lay this shit all out on the table.”

Dom went to one of the chairs in the room and sat down and then looked at her and motioned for her to take the other chair. “If we are going to rehash this, let’s do it comfortably.”

Shady grinned and then sauntered to the chair and sat down and crossed her jean-clad legs. She put the right over the left, because the men who took her didn’t search her. They should have. She had a gun strapped to her calf. All she had to do was get to it.

“Why don’t I start?” Shady said and then leaned forward. “I have been looking forward to this for a long time.”

“By all means,” Dom smiled.

“Are we going to be interrupted?” Shady asked slyly.

“Of course not, my men know not to interrupt me when I am in here. Besides, the wonderful part of this room is that it is soundproof,” he shared and winked at her.
So arrogant.
Yes, he was muscular and bigger than her but, she was no longer the little shrinking violet that he took advantage of. Fuck no, she wasn't Francesca, she was Shady. And Shady was a dangerous woman.

She looked to see where his weapons were, she knew he had them, but they were not in the open, something she was going to have to play by ear apparently. He figured with his strength he had the upper hand, and maybe he did—to a point.

“So tell me the plan?” she announced and leaned back, curling her leg to the side of her like she was settling in to have a conversation. The leg she tucked to the side had the gun strapped to it, she needed to keep him distracted long enough to get it out.

“The plan?” he laughed. “You say this like you have a chance to change something. My dear, you couldn’t be farther from the truth. Since the day my father chose your mother, your future has been set. In a week's time you will become my bride, then we will claim your inheritance, and you will become the perfect loving wife.”

“Simple,” she said quietly.

“Of course, have you forgotten everything I taught you?” Dom asked.

“No,” Shady said and then stared at him intently. “I have forgotten nothing. I just can’t figure out how you think you are going to make me do a damn thing for you.”

Dom smiled and then leaned forward like he was going to share a secret. “Let me give you a hint,” he chuckled. “You had a secret when you left, you thought no one knew, but I did. My father has no idea, which is good or he would have taken care of it. I, on the other hand, figured it was something I could use in the future. I wasn’t as stupid as my father thought I was, I just got bored with the game for a while. Sure, you disappeared for a time, but I found you, I always found you. I just didn’t have a need to be tied down until I was ready. Still I planned for the future, and I found what you gave away.”

Shady’s stomach plummeted. “What did you do?”

“Surely you don’t think I would let my child just go to anyone,” Dom laughed.

“WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?” Shady screamed.

“Made sure that I have an ace in the hole where you were concerned,” Dom smiled.

“Where is she?” Shady demanded.

“Shady, I am shocked. I thought you would have realized who you took,” Dom said.

“What?” Shady whispered.

“You see, I didn’t want a child, I figured when I took her from the adoption agency, I would give her to someone to watch until I got you back. Linda was a poor choice, granted, it made me change my original plan when she used the money I provided to buy drugs, then when I refused to give her more money she sold your little angel. I lost her for a while but I found her again, she was tainted by then, a child of the street, too rough to change, but easy enough to use. You were easy to track and so I just waited until I had to claim you. I paid those boys to scoop her off the street. She would never be allowed to be announced as our child now, but I am sure you will be happy to do what you had to do as long as she was safe. I am assuming she is safe now. So you will do exactly as I say because if you do not, I will send my men back to get her, and this time she will not be so lucky as to just be drugged and kept in a safe house. There are many men who would pay dearly for her, she is still a virgin, did you know that?” Dom sneered.

Shady felt rage the likes she had never experienced before. Jas, that broken girl who had tugged at her conscious, was her daughter? Even when she was a child enduring the abuse, she hadn’t been this blinded by rage. When she had left she had been pregnant, it was the reason she ran in the first place. Her intentions were to get rid of the baby, but she couldn’t, the baby was innocent, she also couldn’t raise her, so she did the only thing she could, she put her up for adoption the day she was born. The woman at the hospital had been so nice, telling her she was doing a good thing.

The only good part of the whole thing was that she had saved her child from that life. She had failed, the pain and anger rose up, and Shady was no longer thinking about the fact she needed information from Dom, or that she needed to wait for the guys. She was going to send him to hell where he belonged.

With a roar, she stood, pulled her gun out, and shot him in one knee and then the other. The look of surprise on the fucker's face would have been laughable if she had been in her right mind. However she wasn’t. She wanted him to suffer. He was bent over, and she used her foot to kick his shoulder, plunging him back in his chair, then shot him in both shoulders.

“Whore,” he screamed and she laughed.

“I am what you made me,” Shady said and then walked to where he sat and smiled at him with a twisted expression. “You do realize that right. I mean all of the lessons, all of the nights you tortured me while I cried and begged you to stop, made me what I am today.”

Dom glared at her, even though he was at the disadvantage, he was not going to go down easily. With effort, he swung his arm out and grabbed her arm, pulling her down so he could look her in the eye. “Do you really think I didn’t plan for this? If I die, she will never be safe, my father will never rest until he finds her, she of course, is your heir. Problem solved if I die.”

“Wrong,” Shady snarled and spit at him in disgust. “She will be safe because I will make her safe.
Your
father is going to meet you in hell.”

She was sick of him fucking with her head. She knew he probably planned for this, but she also knew her men would never let anything happen to Jas. They were going to take care of everything, for the first time she knew she could rely on someone to have her back. They had proven it.

She stood and put her gun to the side of his head and pulled the trigger without flinching and then pulled the remote out of his pocket and walked to the door. She looked back and smiled, then unlocked the door and walked out and smiled at the sight before her.

Her men were waiting for her.

Chapter Twenty-Four

The guys found the house where Dom had created his own little safe haven. They had been shocked at first at the security he had in the middle of nowhere, it was really impressive. Too bad he hadn’t planned on pissing off a group of bikers that smuggled guns for a good cause and had enough firepower stocked up to take down a small country.

The Prospect had been told to pack everything he could in the back of the SUV—he had listened. The shoulder rocket launcher came in handy when it came to blowing up the guards' gatehouse. They hadn’t known what hit them.

From there, making it to the house had been relatively easy, the arrogance of drug dealers always shocked the guys. They refused to accept they were untouchable just because they were ‘badasses’. It was a mistake they saw time and time again with simple criminals with no morals.

When they had killed the men who were standing guard they went into the house, of course no one was inside, because Dom would never allow such lowlife’s in his space, they, after all, were minions. It was just as they suspected, thankfully. The door locked tighter than a fucking safe had them worried. While they were planning to blow the door to save Shady, she opened the door and walked out with a grin.

“Hey, guys, is Jas safe?” Shady asked.

When they nodded, she went to Slider and kissed him and then turned to Cajun and kissed him. Easy and Poke stood there in shock staring at the woman who kept shocking the shit out of them and shook their head.

“The fuck, Shay?” Poke growled and put his hands on his hips.

“What?” Shady said.

“We were rescuing you,” Easy roared. “How in the hell are we going to tell the guys the amazing story of us blowing up the guard house and then swooping in here and rescuing you, when you just sashayed your ass out of that room like you fucking knew we were here.”

Shady grinned and shook her head. “I did, silly.”

“What?” Poke asked and she looked at Slider and Cajun and shrugged.

“They will always have my back,” Shady said.

The guys laughed and she looked at her men, “We need to talk.”

“Of course,” Cajun smiled.

“And we need to get back to Jas,” she said firmly and both men frowned. “I will explain in the car.”

*****

The car was silent as they pulled into the compound for many reasons, one of them was because they had no idea what they were going back into, and two, everyone was shocked by what Shady had told them.

“If he was alive I would kill him again,” Cajun roared as they pulled up to the clubhouse and stopped. The cops were still there, but there wasn’t as much chaos as there was before.

“Are you going to tell her?” Slider asked slowly.

“I want to,” Shady said. “I'm just not sure she needs to know all of the sick and sordid details. I mean, what if he showed her the same tapes as they did Tami. How would she ever live with that?”

The guys were silent as Creed walked up to the car and looked inside. No one had gotten out because they were still talking and honestly, none of them knew what to do.

Easy looked up at their leader and put a finger up to tell him to wait for a few minutes. Creed frowned and Easy looked at him intently hoping he would get the message. He did and backed off with a frown.

“Shay?” Poke said and kissed her on the forehead, “Listen, this whole thing sucks. You won’t know the real answer to any of your questions until you get to know Jas first.”

“If I keep it from her and tell her later, she will hate me,” Shady said softly.

“No, she will have had a chance to know you, she will have had a chance to see what you are all about and see what the club is all about, get to know Slider and me. I am assuming we plan on staying here?” Cajun said gently and she nodded. “Then get her some help, get her settled, and see how she does. Don’t drop all this shit on her right off the bat, she has been through enough. You know, Slider and me know who she is to you, to us. Build on that, and when the time comes to tell her, we will all be there for you and for her.”

“I hate it when you actually make sense,” Shady whispered.

Cajun chuckled and then kissed her cheek. Slider took her hand, “She is yours, that makes her ours. We are not going to let anything else touch her.”

“Promise?” Shady whispered.

“We all do,” Easy said from the front seat and she turned and looked at Poke and Easy who were just as intent as Cajun and Slider were.

“Shay, you gotta know, us knowing she is a part of you makes her family. Even if she wasn’t your birth child, if you claim her in your heart, then she is in ours,” Easy said.

“Damn, all this mushy shit,” Shady said with a sniff. “Seriously, I can’t deal with this shit.”

The guys laughed and then Easy went to open the door. “Hey,” Cajun said quickly. “Can you tell the guys we need a couple of minutes with Jas before we talk to them?”

“Yeah, I will take care of it,” Easy said.

*****

Jas was back in the room where she had been staying. With all of the crap going on around the house, she was surprised when she had drifted off to sleep. When she woke she saw Shady, Cajun, and Slider in their chairs like they had been the night she was going through withdrawal.

Jas knew that no one would believe her if she told them she remembered everything about that night. At first she hadn’t, but then little things had come to her when she had been sitting in the safe room worrying about the trio of people who rescued her.
