sat in the truck with Stinger. They were in the center of town and were waiting
for Lucien and his men to make the pass through Steel Corner to their
whorehouse. It had been two days since he had killed the man that had hurt
Lilly, and forty-eight fucking hours since he had seen the woman that he
couldn’t stop thinking about. He wanted to go see Lilly, but he had to watch to
make sure Lucien, or whoever was transporting the women that were paid to fuck
high-profile men, got through town without incident. But after everything that
had gone down he trusted The Brothers of Menace, and knew that Jagger and the
other Grizzlies did, too. But tonight wasn’t about making sure the MC didn’t
fuck with their town. It was to make sure no one fucked with them . It had just taken that one
incident to bring the two MCs together. The Brothers had looked out for Lilly
and Roan, hadn’t fucked around when it came to the bastard responsible for
fucking her up, and to the Grizzlies that went a long way in assuring they were
as tight as two allies could be. When another MC looked out for the people
associated with another club, took care of them until they got there, and made
sure to help exact vengeance for the ones that were hurt, that meant they were good
fucking men, and respected by The Grizzly MC.
    “Your
girl doing good ?”
    Court
looked over at Stinger and thought about his question. “I guess she’s as good as can be expected given the situation.”
Stinger may not have been there because he had been drunker than shit, but
every member of the club knew what had gone down, and that Lilly was his. The
meeting they had earlier that day had cemented that in stone, and what he had
gotten from the members of the club was support and brotherly love. He still
hadn’t really talked to her about why he had gone all possessive and
proprietary on her, but she was a smart girl. He had also told her that he had
claimed her when she had spoken aloud. Whether she knew what that really meant
was still left to be seen. It was like a switch had gone off in his body, his
bear had taken control, and he had gotten his head out of his ass and realized
what was important to him.
    “How
many times you been to the barn to fight?”
    Court
looked over at Stinger again, and on instinct touched the cut under his eye
that he had gotten just that night. Yeah, it had been two days since he had
seen Lilly and killed that fucker that had hurt her, but he had been on this
rampage for violence. Since leaving her house he had been to the barn three
different times and taken out three different shifters. He felt a lot calmer
now that he had a lot of his aggression out, but leave it to his thoughts of
Lilly hurt to have him thinking about kicking someone’s ass again. “Enough to help ease my bear and fuck people up.” He looked
out the windshield once more. His knuckles were also beat to shit, but he liked
the pain, especially when he was in this kind of foul mood.
    “I
didn’t even know you were serious about anyone. I mean you’ve been fucking club
pussy for a long ass time.”
    Court
looked forward again. “Well, we haven’t really talked in a few years, but we
have a history.”
    Stinger
didn’t say anything, but the sound of an approaching car had them sitting up
straighter in the truck and had their senses going on alert. They watched the
blacked out van pass through the center of town, and then pulled out behind it.
They weren’t trying to be stealthy in following them, because Lucien knew that
they were doing it to make sure shit went okay on both ends. Once the van left
Steel Corner Court turned the truck around and headed back to the clubhouse.
What he wanted to do was see Lilly, but it was late, and the last two times he
had
