“Would you all like some coffee?” Dinah asked. She got to her feet and pulled her hand out of his.
“Coffee?”
“Yeah, I don’t know how long everyone has been here, and I think it’s only fair I go and grab some.” She pulled away, and several of the guys held their hands up. “I’ll be right back.”
Road didn’t want her out of his sight but as Dinah left, he tensed up as another man entered the waiting room. It had been a long time since he had seen Nikki Golubev. He should have known that little fucker would arrive at some point, but he had hoped he wouldn’t be the one to see him.
All the guys tensed. They were all aware of who Nikki Golubev was. He was their main fucking spy within the group of men, and he wanted to kill him.
Road had a lot of issues with Nikki, like the fact he’d been the one to tell them all to back down. They were not his puppets and it pissed him off to think he even thought he stood a chance against them. Anger traveled down his spine, and he wanted to kill the bastard right then and there, but he held himself in check.
When he killed Nikki, and there was going to come a point that he did, there would not be witnesses. He was pleased that Dinah had chosen to leave. He needed to keep her safe, and he didn’t know if any of the Golubev men even remembered the orders they had given. Knowing the kind of man Golubev was, he wouldn’t remember Dinah’s mother.
He stared across at Nikki, and he felt this hatred just at the sight of him,. He didn’t know why Brute continued to put up with him. It was good to have a man on the inside, but with Nikki, it always came with a risk.
Road knew it was only a matter of time before Nikki stabbed them in the back, and when that time came, he was going to be ready for them.
“What the fuck are you doing here?” Road asked.
“My daughter is giving birth. Brute made me aware of the special occasion, and I found time to come and see.”
“You shouldn’t be here.”
“I’m aware of where I should and shouldn’t be, Road. I don’t need you to enlighten me of my whereabouts.”
He wanted to kick his ass. His hatred for this man was bone-deep.
Nikki had been fucking nothing while Road had been there, and completely intact. He knew Nikki had despised him. There had been a time when his father had trusted him over his own son. He knew in some way Nikki was responsible for the scars on his face. For his father turning his back on Road.
His hatred for him knew no bounds, but he kept his calm. In that moment, he knew he shouldn’t have brought Dinah, but he wasn’t going to back down, nor was he going to show this man anything other than contempt.
Road stood his ground, and waited for Nikki to step on through and take a seat. He wasn’t disillusioned by the bastard. Nikki was an evil fucker. He didn’t know how Faith seemed to inspire all the men who were close to her.
He watched and waited, and when Dinah arrived, she kept a smile on her face. Road wanted to grab her and take her back to her home where he knew she would be safe.
She carried a tray laden with disposable plastic coffee mugs.
“Want one?” she asked.
He took one, not because of the taste, but so Nikki didn’t get a chance to take one.
She walked around all the guys in leather jackets, until there was only one coffee remaining.
“I’ll take that one,” Nikki said, getting to his feet.
Dinah frowned, glancing up and down at Nikki.
Road took a step closer to her, offering her his strength and protection against Nikki.
“That’s hers,” Road said.
“It’s fine. I will go and grab myself another cup. Enjoy it.”
“I’m Nikki, by the way,” he said, holding out his hand.
“Dinah.” She didn’t give her last name but Road stopped her from taking hold of Nikki’s hand.
“Let’s go and get you that coffee.”
