“Good girl,” I praise, only for her to slap me gently in the gut.
“I’m only going because you said please. I’m also going to tell all your brothers that I made you beg.”
“Woman, you have no idea just how easily you could make me beg.”
“We may have to find that out later,” she laughs and then, with a quick kiss, she goes back inside.
I shake my head, wondering how I can feel so happy when a man I hate is standing in my territory, staring at me as if daring me to kick his ass. I rub the back of my neck and walk over to the asshole—already knowing I’m not going to like how this goes.
“This is a surprise.”
I cross my arms at my chest and wait. King is now on his bike and he’s staring at me with a look that I’d take great pleasure in knocking off his face.
“Is it?” the bastard asks.
King is a big man. He’s closer to the size of Breaker than my own. His skin is a darker brown than mine, and he has tattoos and scars riddled over his arms. He’s wearing a black cut like mine, but it has a club patch and name for the Demon Chasers. Lame-ass name, if you ask me.
“Ford forget to tell you that you’re supposed to ask permission when you come into another club’s territory when you’re not allies?”
The fucker laughs. “You seem to be behind on the times, D.”
“It’s Dom,” I correct.
“Or Ice, right? I mean, the club thought enough of you to actually give you a club name. Too bad they didn’t bother with your brother.”
“Is there a point to this shit?” I growl.
“Just pointing out that in my eyes, you aren’t worth shit. You’re just an asshole who thought nothing of betraying his brother and didn’t bother looking out for him.”
King’s words burn in my stomach. Partly because some of it is true. I didn’t think about T not having a club name. In my defense, we all grew up together and his name was shortened to T. That’s just who everyone recognized him as. It’s much the same with me. Sure, they gave me the club name Ice. I got the nickname because Breaker used to say I had ice water running through my veins because I’d wait until the last minute to react, even when my life was on the line. I laughed and told him we called him Breaker because he was like a bull in a china shop and would break anything he came in contact with because he was so damn huge and bulky.
“You know jack-shit about anything to do with my brother.”
“Maybe you’re right. Although, I do know something you don’t.”
“What’s that?” I ask.
“Go ask your dear old dad why I’m in your neighborhood, kid. Better yet, ask him why he didn’t feel it necessary to tell you,” King taunts. Then, the bastard starts his bike and peels out. I’m left standing here knowing that my father is keeping shit from me—important shit.
I pull out my phone as I go to where I have my bike parked. Texting Thea, I let her know I’m fine with a promise I’ll see her at Breaker’s when she gets home. Then I call my asshole father and tell him I need to speak to him. I’ve had enough of this bullshit.
More than enough.
Chapter 30
Dom
“Didn’t you have shit to do for the club today, Dom? Weren’t you and Thea just telling me how you’re always there for the club and I was being unfair?” Dad snaps as soon as I walk into his office. I kick the door shut behind me. The echoing sound of it slamming closed surrounds me.
“Why the fuck wasn’t I told that King was in the territory?”
“He saved your brother. He can come here anytime he wants. You should be damn grateful to him, too—all things considered.”
“All things considered? What are you saying, Dad? Why do you think I should kiss King’s ass?”
“Dom, you’re walking a dangerous line,” Dad growls, but I just laugh.
“You think T getting shot was my fault. Just admit it, old man!”
