Free Ryker Fallen Angel's MC 3 by Erin Trejo

about all those years ago.
    The girls talk a little more as I throw back a few more shots.
    “Hey.” Looking over I see Bella smiling at me.
    “Hey darlin’. You doin’ alright?” She sways slightly or at least that’s how she looks to me. Shit, I could be fairly drunk right now too.
    “I am now. Jersey said that she saw Deb and Cassidy. They’re ok. She said they were moved to another house a few weeks ago.” I nod my head. That’s good news right? It has to be after this damn day.
    “We’ll find them Bella.” I don’t know what else to say to her. Shit I told her I’d find them once and I didn’t.
    “I know. I just wanted to say thank you for pushing the issue with the club. If you didn’t I would have never known if they were alive and Jersey might not be alive right now.” The reality of what she’s saying drives a knife into my stomach. Looking over I can’t stop looking at her. It’s like when I can’t see her, be near her, I’m not at ease.
    “I couldn’t leave her there.” The words come out more as a reassurance to myself than for Bella.
    “I see how you look at her. Jersey has something about her that pulls people in. Just don’t hurt her Ryker. She has been through more hell than you know.” Bella’s hand lands on my shoulder as I look up at her.
    “I’m not gonna hurt her Bella. I’m gonna stay as far away from her as I can. I won’t let shit happen to her but that’s where this shit ends.” Bella giggles making me shake my head.
    “What’s that for?” Bella drops on the stool next to me before she speaks.
    “I just said I see the way you look at her. You’re not fooling me. You like her. I’m a girl Ryker I know these things.” Chuckling slightly I look at her.
    “That’s right. You’re a girl. A child. So is she Bella. I’m too damn old for that girl.” Bella explodes into laughter as I pull out a joint and light it up. Females today are killing me.
    “Oh my God Ryker! You aren’t old! Besides, age means nothing.” Oh good God please don’t let her go into one of Piper’s life lessons, I can’t take that right now.
    “Bella if you fuckin’ quote Piper I will lose my God damn mind.” Bella laughs before she stands and kisses my cheek, pulling at my beard.
    “You really should shave. Maybe you’d look younger.” Bella giggles as I swat at her before she walks away. That damn girl is just like her dad.
    “You gonna be ok with all this?” Tank walks up next to me as I nod.
    “Yeah, Bella set my ass straight.” Chuckling I grab another shot and throw it back.
    “She has a way with words, yeah?” That’s a fucking understatement.
    “She has somethin’ brother. I don’t know how you do that father thing. I don’t think I’m cut out for that shit.” Tank laughs before he turns and walks away.
    I lean my arms against the bar as I watch my new wife smiling like she belongs here. A part of me wishes that she did. I could get used to the feelings I get when I’m near her.
     
     

 
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Chapter 21
    The last three days have been a living hell. Being in the same room with Jersey and not touching her is killing me. My dick practically screams in protest because of what I’m doing to him.
    Climbing out of the shower, today is the day. Creed has lifted the lock down and I’m taking Jersey back to the apartment. I’m not sure how any of this is going to work out but I know now that she’s safe and that’s what matters most.
    Walking into the bedroom my heart slams into me. I dead stop when I see that sexy ass standing there in nothing but a thong and bra. Why the hell is she making this so damn hard for me? I did save her fucking life didn’t I?
    Clearing my throat, I can only hope that she takes the hint and covers up. Yeah, that would be great right? Fuck no. Not for Ryker, that isn’t going to happen. Instead what does she do? She turns the fuck around with those blue eyes as big as the sun and stares at me.
    “You
