rest of her life.

“ It’s about time we saw you

happy,” Angel said.

Charlotte opened her eyes, and saw Angel

waddling toward them, Lash by her side.

“ Mom,” Anthony said, rushing

toward her. The little boy paused in front of her and wrapped his arms around

his mom.

“ Honey, you’re going to

have a baby sister,” Angel said, bending down, and picking him

up.

“ Nope, not happening.” Lash

grabbed Anthony, holding his son. “You can hold our son as soon as

you’re not pregnant anymore.”

Anthony burst out laughing.

Angel rolled her eyes. “Anyway, you look

really happy,” she said, looking toward them.

Charlotte smiled.

“ I am happy,” Gash said. “I

have the woman I’ve always wanted.”

He always knew when to say the right

thing.

For the rest of the afternoon she

stayed in Gash’s arms as they supervised all of the kids. Several

of the club brothers joined them, and she listened as they spoke to

Gash before heading toward their bike.

Gash was humming in her ear, and she

was getting more aroused with every passing second. His fingers

stroked across her wrist, and the heat spilled from the lips of her

pussy, coating her panties with her cream.

Licking her lips, she was about to

suggest they go to his room when a car, followed by the sound of a

bike entered the clubhouse.

“ Baker, I swear, you’re

going to be sorry.”

They both turned to watch Baker open a

car door, and haul a woman out, and carry her into the

clubhouse.

“ Deal with it. This is how it’s

going to go, Millie,” Baker said.

“ Come on, let’s go on

inside.”

Charlotte made sure that Kelsey and

Eva had the kids before heading inside with Gash.

“ You’re being a brute and a

Neanderthal,” Millie said.

Baker had put Millie down, but he also had

all the exits covered. Even Gash was standing in the doorway so she

couldn’t escape.

“ What is going on?” Angel

asked, coming out of the kitchen, wiping her hands.

“ I don’t like Baker,”

Millie said. “He’s kidnapped me.”

Angel placed her hands on her hips and

glared at Baker. “What are you doing?”

“ She’s my woman. We’re on

lockdown. There’s a threat, and I’m not going to let anything

happen to her. She’s got to deal with it.”

“ I do not. I don’t belong to you,

and I’m never going to belong to you.” Millie crossed her arms,

looking like a scolded child.

Charlotte’s heart went out to the

woman. She looked so sweet, and a little put out by the whole

experience.

“ She doesn’t leave,” Baker

said, and made to walk away.

“ See, how can I belong to a guy

who can’t even finish what he started? You kidnap me, and dump me

on your friends.” Millie got to her feet, and pushed past him

harder. “I’ll be happy to help you, Angel.”

“ You’re not going to throw

a tantrum?” Baker asked.

“ Not at you. You want me to

stay here, fine. I’ll stay with my friends, but don’t ever expect

me to accept an invitation to a movie with you again.”

Gash chuckled. “Oh, it’s going to a

tough couple of weeks.”

Lash was laughing as well when his

cell phone started to ring. It was late evening, and Charlotte’s

stomach started to growl. The scents coming out of the kitchen were

making her mouth water.

The smile on Lash’s face dropped.

“What the fuck?”

Gash tensed behind her, and the men

lost all sense of humor. It was scary how quickly they all

turned.

“ Is he okay?” Lash asked. “Fuck,

okay, I’ll talk to the brothers. Take care, brother.”

Lash hung up the phone.

“ What is it?” Tiny and Alex

asked at the same time.

“ Master struck, and Spider’s in

the hospital fighting for his life. Devil doesn’t know if he’s

going to wake up.”

This was bad. Charlotte knew it was bad by

the way the men sobered up.

“ There’s more,” Lash said.

“Master has also taken two girls. One of them is a dancer at the

club, and the other is her sister who is ill. I didn’t get more out

of Devil. He wanted to get back and check on his guy. I’m opening

up our house. The women are coming to stay with us, and we’re going

to do a meet up.”

“ You sure we can handle

that?” Nash said.

“ I don’t give a fuck what we can

and cannot handle. It’s what we’re going to do. It’s the right

thing to do.”

Gash took hold of Charlotte, tugging her

into his arms. The men started moving around, and she watched as

the kids and women were called inside.

“ Come on, I want to talk to Whizz

before we’re all fighting for food.”

He kept hold of her hand as they made

their way up the back of the clubhouse where all of the rooms were.

Gash didn’t even knock. He just entered the room. Whizz was sitting

at a computer, typing away.

“ Why am I not surprised that you

have no respect for personal space?” Whizz said.

“ We’re all in

lockdown.”

“ I know, and even with all

of you guys around, I’ve got two girls now that take Lacey’s

attention from me, not that I’m jealous or anything.”

“ Yeah, my heart is bleeding

for you. What do you know?” Gash asked.

Charlotte walked into the room and

leaned against the wall. The bed was rumpled, and she wasn’t

exactly in the mood to sit on someone else’s bed, especially one

that had seen a lot of action.

She stayed silent as Gash stood behind

Whizz. The wall of screens was impressive but not nearly as much as

the ones at his home.

“ Any news?”

“ Not the kind of shit

you’re going to like.”

“ Try me.”

“ Okay, so Master appeared about

twelve years ago, or at least the rumor mill, texts, emails, alerts

that people had tried to hide, but the internet isn’t like your

standard paperwork. There’s always a trail, a long, dirty

trail.”

“ Get to the

point!”

Charlotte rubbed her hands together to try

to warm herself up. Her gut was twisting as Whizz spoke. Master was

sounding like a ghost that couldn’t be caught.

“ Master doesn’t act like everyone

expects him to. He’s cruel, and there are times he employs minions

to do his dirty work, but that’s not always the case. What makes

him different is the fact he likes to get his hands dirty. No one

knows who he is as his name has never been mentioned before. They

only know him as Master. He’s unpredictable.”

“ And this son of a bitch

has an issue with me?”

“ Yes.”

Gash cursed and shook his head.

“You’ve got no idea who he is?”

“ No, none. I’ve got clues. He’s

into everything when it comes to trafficking. There are no limits

to what he’ll sell. For himself, he only takes women, and most of

them end up dead, discovered months after they were taken with a

brand on their thigh.”

“ What the fuck is this man’s

deal?”

“ I don’t know, but I’m trying to

access all the CCTV in the area that Devil texted me. I’m going to

find this fucker if it kills me. Just make sure my girls are looked

after,” Whizz said, cricking his neck and getting to typing

again.
