I’m a monster hiding in human skin. Shutting off my emotions should not be this easy. But because it is, I’m the man Johnston calls on when he needs a job taken care of.
Which is how I end up bunking at the Texas Charter’s clubhouse for the next foreseeable future. At the same clubhouse where my club brother and his woman live.
The same woman I’ve been inside on more than one occasion. And the same club brother I secretly crave.
But Chase doesn’t swing that way. I know I have to remain content just being with his woman and seeing him at his most vulnerable when we’re with her together.
And I am content… until the Russians kidnap Chase.
It’s time for everyone to find out just how much Satan resides in my veins. They’ll pay for taking him from me and our woman.

CHASE
Having Trigger in the clubhouse, sharing Sophia with him… I’m okay with it. I trust him. He’s a brother to me in every meaning of the word except blood.
Except now, I’m noticing things I shouldn’t about him. I’m craving him as much as I crave the woman I hold in my arms every night.
I can’t handle it. Can’t wrap my head around this gay-for-you moment I seem to be having. But it’s not a moment, is it? Because these feelings aren’t going away. They’re festering. Taking over.
And just when I get ready to give in to him, just as I’m on my way home to give this a try for all of our sakes, I’m run off the road.
I’m taken. Strapped to a table. Ripped of my humanity. Nothing more than a slab of meat.
I’ve met my fate, and my only regret is that I didn’t tell Trigger how I feel. That I don’t have a chance to give my woman everything she deserves.

Trigger
Ileaned over the engine, trying to force my long, thick fingers to screw on the nut needed to secure this fucking alternator in place, but car manufacturers never made these spaces big enough for men like me. I’d bought this piece of shit truck a few months ago, but I was about damn ready to just push it off a bridge. It was proving to be a lot more trouble than it was actually worth, and I was over it. Sure, it gave me something to do on days like today, where shit wasn’t happening, but this mother fucker should’ve been running already.
“Still working on that piece of shit?” Geek asked, coming to lean against the fender. He was holding a beer in his left hand, and he braced his right forearm on the truck to lean over so he could see what I was doing. Nosy fucker.
Geek was our tech guy. We had Scorpion—the president of the Texas Charter—who was practically a tech genius, but we needed someone here in the mother charter, too. Johnston had pulled strings to get him out of prison when he got wind of a hacker being locked up, and Geek had been our Treasurer ever since then, which was a couple of years now. He was a genius at laundering club money, and he was even better at hacking into shit we had no business putting our fingers in. If Johnston, our president, ever asked Geek to hack the FBI, I had no doubt Geek could accomplish it—and would gleefully do it.
None of us knew where he got his skills from, but we weren’t going to ask either. Sometimes, it was just better not knowing.
“Don’t you have some database to hack or something?” I asked, sighing when I finally got the nut on. Fuck, that took forever. I grabbed the wrench I needed and worked on tightening it while hoping Geek would fuck off somewhere.
I missed my woman, and I just wanted to be left the fuck alone. She’d been mopey this morning when I’d called her, and while I knew Chase, the Vice President of the Texas Charter and her old man, would take care of her, it didn’t make this achy feeling inside of me any easier to deal with.
Sophia, who had already been claimed by Chase, and I had started our relationship a little over a year ago when she’d been tipsy and wanted to be shared. Chase, wanting to give her everything she desired, let it happen. But she’d gotten hooked, and so had I. Chase and I were making it work for her sake, and neither of us was jealous of the other.
In fact, I was head over goddamn heels for Chase too, but the man was as straight as a man could be.
