I picked her up even though she called Jack. My girl was always smart. She figured things out quick. She marched over and stood directly in front of Jack, who had been suspiciously quiet before now.

“Tell them,” she demanded, her fists on her hips. “Tell them what shape he was in when you found him!”

We all turned our eyes on Jack and waited. It was late last night when he got back. Jack told us it was done, and he would fill us in at church.

Sighing, Jack relayed what he hadn’t told us yet, “We found him at home, of all places. I think he honestly thought nothing would happen to him. Dumbass. When we got there, he was on his couch with a bag of ice on his dick, his face scratched to hell and his eye swollen shut.”

We all looked over at Becca. She stood there, fucking pride on her scowling face. Stomping back over to King, sheshouted, “Does that sound like something a little girl would do?”

Without waiting for an answer, she did an about-face and bolted from the clubhouse, slamming the door on her way out.

Rachel and I looked at each other, smiling.

Pointing at the front door, I exclaimed loudly, “That is the fucking Becca I fell in love with!”

King, Cash, and Jack all stood there with their mouths open in disbelief as Rachel ran out the door to catch up with her friend.

Chapter Fourteen

Beck

I sat in Rachel’s car, staring out the window, waiting for her. I was furious. What right did any of them have to get involved in my business?

You gave them the right when you called them to rescue you.

Rescue? I rescued my-freakin-self. I just needed a ride home after that jag-off left me there alone.

Rachel hopped in the car and stared at me.

“What?” I asked, refusing to look at her.

Putting the key in the ignition, she started the car and laughed.

“What, she says. Like she didn’t just hand four big scary bikers their asses and walk away like the fucking queen she is.” Shaking her head, she pulled through the gate, heading toward town.

Despite my anger, I smiled. Rachel had always had a way of building me up when I thought I couldn’t possibly feel any lower than I was. As soon as I got home last night, I called her and told her what happened with Grant.

Not what happened after, though.

I left out the kiss I shared with Blade.

I wasn’t ready to share it with her, yet. Soon I would.

Regardless of the time spent apart, connecting with Rachel again felt like I never left. I was so thankful to have her in my life again. I knew I wouldn’t get through this without her.

Thankfully, Grams was asleep when I got home, and I snuck out without seeing her this morning. I wouldn’t be able to keep this from her, not with the giant bruise on my face. At least Grant was safe from her in the hospital. I was sure whatever Jack did to him was nothing compared to what could have happened if Grams had got ahold of him.

“So, where are we headed first?” Rachel asked.

“The hospital,” I announced calmly, not expecting her to object.

“Abso-fuckin-lutely not. Are you crazy? The guys would be furious.”

Finally, I looked over at her and admitted, “Rachel, I need to talk to him. I need to understand what is happening.”

“No way. Let the guys handle it,” she protested, pulling onto the highway.

We drove to the mall for some retail therapy.
