Free Nash (The Skulls) by Sam Crescent Page B

still. The heels of her boots clicked on the floor with her advancing steps. He was at the edge of the mattress. The chains on his wrists gave him a little moving room. Not much, but enough to not make him feel trapped. She’d never looked at him with anything other than happiness.
    Sophia glanced up and down at his body. “You don’t think I can handle what you’ve got to throw at me.”
    “You’re not prepared for The Skulls’ approach to life, baby. You can’t handle anything.”
    His lack of faith in her being able to handle the life was why he’d never tried anything else on her.
    “You think I’m too innocent even though I heard you fucking my sister?” Sophia asked.
    Nash didn’t break eye contact even though he wanted to. He kept looking at her waiting for her to cower away from him.
    She chuckled. “You really think I’m sweet and innocent.”
    There was something about her voice that made Nash stay quiet.
    “Then what do you think now?”
    He watched her walk toward Zero. Sophia dropped her bag to the floor along with her jacket. The sway of her hips captured his gaze. The bangles on her wrist s gave an edge to her appearance. He wanted his hands on her hips and wanted to feel that lush body against his own.
    She ran her hands up Zero’s chest.
    Jealousy gripped every part of him, and he tensed in the restraints. Sophia turned so he got a good view and plundered her tongue into Zero’s mouth. His biker brother ran his hands over her body, squeezing that full ass.
    He jerked to try to get to her. Nash was held in place.
    When she withdrew her lips were swollen. She turned to him and started toward him. Sophia grabbed her backpack and then invaded his personal space. “The only person who can’t deal with me being part of The Skulls, is you. You could have me a long time ago, but you wanted my sister. I wasn’t ready to get over you with my sister. I didn’t want that, but I still wanted you to be my friend. I’m not the person you think I am, Nash. It’s time you opened your eyes.”
    “I’m not a fucking mind reader,” Nash said, yelling the words.
    “Well, now you know the truth. I’m here, and I’m waiting for you to get over yourself.”
    She didn’t wait for him to respond before she was on her way.
    “You’ve just had your ass handed to you, Edward ,” Zero said.
    “Touch her again and I’ll cut your balls off. She’s mine.”
    Zero smirked. “You’re in no position to question me. I’ll go and see if she’s getting settled.”
    He had to watch Zero walk toward Sophia. Yanking at the chains, Nash let out a growl. He couldn’t handle watching one of his brothers taking on Sophia.
    Fuck, the look in her eyes would stay with him forever. In all the time he’d known her, he’d never once seen her look sexy. She’d always been beautiful to him but too innocent to ever explore.
    Had she ever really been innocent?
    Crap, his thoughts were all over the place, and he couldn’t think clearly at all.
    “What are you thinking?” Lash asked.
    His brother was stood with his arms folded over his chest.
    “These restraints are fucking unnecessary.” He pulled on them hoping they’d pull away easily. Nothing happened. Until Lash opened them up this was where he was staying.
    “Do you really think I’m going to believe that?” Lash stared at him, smirking.
    “You’re being an asshole. It’s my least favorite quality about you.” Nash stopped pressing on the restraints and sat down on the makeshift bed. “Is this what you’re going to do to save me?” He laughed. “This is the worst fucking idea in the world.” Nash wiped his brow free of sweat.
    “We’ll see who is laughing in a couple of weeks. When did you start using?” Lash sat down opposite him.
    The desire to lie filled every part of him. “Why do you want to know?”
    “I want to know when my brother started going off the rails. I need to know what I’m fighting against.”
    Letting out a breath, he
