“Heard congratulations are in order,” Ky said. He was looking at me. My lungs froze. Maddie stilled on my lap. She gripped my hand and turned to face my brothers.
“Thank you,” she replied to Ky. She kissed my hand and leaned against me again, stroking her finger along the back of my hand. She did that when she tried to help me calm down. I liked it. It normally always worked.
Viking shuffled forward on his seat. “Anyone else ever noticed how fucking hot Rider’s mama is?” I looked to Ruth who was sitting with Bella and Rider. “She never comes to the bar, so I haven’t seen her much. But SHIT! I fucking love me an older bitch. Sister fucking Ruth is looking all kind of hot. Who knew that tight fucking body was under those long dresses the cult bitches all used to wear?”
“Don’t think she’s that much older than you,” Tank said. “Maybe a year or two. Fuck, she might even be younger than you. She had Rider and his twin when she was twelve or thirteen or something, didn’t she? You’re practically the same age.”
“Really?” Vike mused and whistled loudly. He smiled and his eyebrows danced. “Rider!” Rider lifted his head to see Viking across the tables. “Get the fuck over here!” Rider got up and walked over slowly.
“What?” He ran his hand over his shaved head.
“Your mama,” Vike asked. “How old is she? She seeing anyone?”
“Why?” Rider asked. His eyes narrowed.
Viking shrugged. “Enquiring minds want to know.”
Rider was quiet for a while, then he leaned in and warned, “Stay the fuck away from my mama, Vike. I mean it. She’s been through too much to deal with your shit.”
Viking smirked. “Don’t be like that, Doc. Don’t you want a new daddy? Someone to fix your booboos and read you bedtime stories?” Vike slapped his lap. “Come on, son. Me and your mama just want to make you happy, that’s all.”
“I mean it. Stay the fuck away.” Rider walked off.
Vike bit his lip and pushed his hand against his crotch. “I suddenly got a real fucking boner for Sister Ruthie over there. Forgot she was so fucking young.” His head cocked to the side. “Christ! We’ve had a perfect ten living amongst us, and the anaconda has only just noticed.” Viking looked down to his crotch, patting his hand over his cock. “You’re slacking, bud. You’re meant to seek out potential pussy like her.”
“Fucking dumbass,” Ky said and shook his head. “How the fuck was he ever let in the club?”
“I’d fuck her,” Rudge agreed, nodding.
“Ain’t sure that’s a ringing endorsement,” Hush said and took a swig of his beer.
“Says the guy who double teams the VP’s little sister every night, then finishes off spurting white ribbons on his boyfriend’s chest,” Vike said, then pointed at Cowboy, who was smirking at him. “Oops. Forgot we have to pretend that y’all aren’t fucking each other too. Don’t know why though. Everyone has their kinks. Yours are just pussy and dicks.” Vike held out his fist out to Ky. “Equal opportunity lovers. Right, Veep? We all know the Hangmen gotta keep moving with these modern times!”
“You’re lucky I’m holding my daughter, Vike, or I swear to Hades I’d fucking skin you alive. Right now. Not caring who the fuck was watching.”
Viking laughed, shook his head and got to his feet to grab a whiskey and what looked like a glass of wine from Zane at the bar. He moved across the room to sit next to Rider. “For you, M’lady,” he offered to Ruth. Ruth took the wine off him. Her eyes were narrowed and her eyebrows were pulled down. I didn’t know if she was happy, but when people frowned it usually meant they weren’t.
“Rider will kill him,” Tank said. Ky’s daughter suddenly started crying and my body immediately fucking tensed. The crying sliced into my brain like a bullet, like torture. It echoed off the fucking bar’s walls. My hands started shaking. I closed my eyes to get my shit together. But the darkness took me to the cellar. Maddie’s hand tightened in mine. I held on, trying to push the memory away—
“Quick!” The sound of Ash’s voice made my eyes snap open and sit forward. I wrapped my arm around Maddie’s chest, keeping her close. “Y’all need to come to the barn. Fucking now!”
Styx was on his feet, signing. “What?” AK voiced the Prez’s words, as Ky handed his kid to Bella.
“There’s fire. Fucking fire and a bitch… a dead bitch strung up. You have to see it.” Ash started shaking his head. I started breathing fast. Fire. There was fire.
Ky moved next to Prez, reading his instructions aloud. “Mae, get the women in the back room and lock yourselves in.” Mae got to her feet, carrying Charon, and led the bitches into the back room. I held onto Maddie. She wasn’t going anywhere without me.
