“Technically, you’re not mine, you’re his.” Bane nods toward Nevada. “And while I appreciate the sentiment and admire the bravery, offerin’ yourself up like that is suicide. These men are ruthless. I doubt your club will even agree to bullshit like that.”
“They’re not my—” I stop myself. If I’m in love with Nevada and he’s the man I want, then they are my club. The realization hits me all at once. NOLA Rebels are my club now. “They don’t know what I’m capable of either. I have all this power and energy and I don’t know how to use it. I want to be helpful. I’m angry. I’m so fucking angry! I’ll do anything to get my sister… I don’t have anything else…” I trail off. I can’t break down in front of these men, they won’t appreciate that.
“You can be helpful by stayin’ alive,” Tag mutters.
“You’re with me.” Nevada’s tone is firm. “Which means you’re NOLA Rebels property. And we protect our property.” In a lower voice he adds, “Anymore talk like that and I’ll throw you over my shoulder and take you outta here right now and I don’t care who sees me spankin’ your ass.”
I think Viking hears because he snickers across the table.
I don’t like being told I’m property, and I’m about to protest when Nevada places one finger over my lips. I hold in my bitter diatribe, knowing I’m gonna put that in my spank bank for later. I must need my head examined because I’ve never let a man shush me before.
His lips twitch into a half smile in approval.
Bane shakes his head in amusement. “She’s a pistol. And she’s all yours, brother.”

NEVADA
After a hot shower, I’m beat. I let Star sleep for a little bit while I went down to Tag and Harlem’s room with Hawk to devise a plan of attack with Riot and the Nomad brothers…
I told them about the proposed meeting at the motel and none of them liked it.
“Sounds like a fuckin’ set up,” Cash says, down the phone. “I don’t like it.”
I palm the back of my head. “So, what do you want us to do?”
“Might be a good idea to grab that asshole Dave and get somethin’ out of him. He’s not tied to the Hellions, so they shouldn’t have a problem with it.”
“I’ll run it by Bane,” Harlem says.
“In the meantime, just remember it’s also Skeleton MC territory, and those guys are ruthless. Bad enough the Hellions have beef without draggin’ us into the mix,” he goes on.
“That won’t be happenin’,” Hawk affirms. “Plan is to get in and get out. If we can nab Dave and get somethin’ outta him about Texas, we’ll know if this bitch was lyin’.”
“Which she probably is,” I add. “She just wants the reward.”
“Your woman has balls,” Ryder snorts down the line. “I’ll give her that.”
“Tell me about it, she even offered herself up for a fuckin’ exchange.” I shake my head. “The woman clearly has a goddamn death wish.”
“Gonna be fun watchin’ you try and control that vixen,” Riot snickers. “I never thought I’d see the day.”
“If she’s your ol’ lady, then you claimin’ her at the table when you get back is gonna be the least of your problems because of all the broken hearts you’ll be leavin’ behind,” Brew feels the need to add. His brother chuckles in agreement.
I pat my heart with my hand. “Happy to admit I’ve been caught.”
I’m proud of my girl. She held her own and was respectful when I knew she wanted to throw shit and probably go off. She knows how this game works, and she’s playing it.
Which reminds me of her sleeping just a floor above. I need to get back to her…
“This goddamn Monty Jefferson asshole needs takin’ out,” Haze says. “Skeletons might think they have the upper hand in this city, but I don’t know, Bane and his crew seem pretty fuckin’ hardcore.”
“Which reminds me,” I interject. “Did you even plan on fillin’ us in on Bane comin’ to the meetin’?”
Cash sighs. “I knew things were gettin’ outta hand fast. The right thing to do was call him and update him. Once I let him know about the club, that’s when he told me about Jefferson.”
“So you were one step ahead of us?” Riot mumbles.
