My lips are on hers as soon as she’s done talking. I pour everything into the kiss, hoping she can feel what I’m struggling to put into words at the moment.

I vaguely hear the door shut and I lessen the intensity of the kiss before I pull back, breathing heavily as I rest my forehead against hers.

“Lark…” I pause as I try to find the words I need to say, still breathing heavily. “I can’t tell you how much that means to me. To us. That you’d be willing to do that for my brothers. I can’t…”

Her eyes and face soften as she pulls me back down for another kiss, this time it’s softer.

Instantly, I know she knows what I was trying to put into words.

A few moments later, we break apart and she looks up at me with a sassy look, but I can still see the anger in her eyes.

“Now, let’s go deal with the bitch. I’d like to see how she tries to worm her way out of this one.”

Chapter 34

Lark

Iamfuckingfumingas I follow Anthony down the hall toward his office. The need to get out my bow is strong, but then I curse internally.

I didn’t bring one with me.

Not that I can use one yet, but it would be nice to have on hand when needed. Next time I go home, I make a mental note to bring a couple of them over along with some extra arrows, targets, and a few supplies to carve.

Walking into his office, I fight to keep a neutral look on my face when I see Brandy perched on the edge of the sofa. She’s crossed her legs which has her short skirt revealing a lot more leg because of the high slits on either side. Her hands rest on her knee and as soon as she sees Anthony, she shifts slightly, thrusting her chest out even more. Her cropped tank top is barely restraining her breasts, so much so that I can see the top of her areolas.

Anthony takes a seat behind his desk, leaning on his forearms. As his muscles flex, I bite my lip to keep my lusty thoughts at bay and focus back on the matter at hand.

“Queen,” Devil says as he gestures to a chair next to Anthony. Thankfully it’s to Anthony’s right so I don’t have to walk in front of the bitch. I wouldn’t put it past her to try and trip me.

Once I’m seated, I look back at Brandy, who is watching me with a look of disgust on her face.

The muscles in my jaw clench, which have the muscles along my hairline also tightening. The claw marks along those muscles burn, but I channel that pain into my anger.

“Care to explain yourself?” Anthony bites out, but Brandy ignores the barb and as she switches her focus to him, a seductive look comes over her as she bats her eyelashes at him.

“I was just looking out for you, Reaper. You’re the President of the club. You deserve an Old Lady that’s worthy, beautiful, and someone who won’t cheat on you. She’s just a disaster waiting to happen. She already tried to ruin one relationship and is on her way to ruining another. Her fried fat ass should be dragged out of here. I don’t get why I’m the one in trouble when she brings trouble everywhere she goes! She should be the one you’re angry at, not me.”

Red hot fury ignites in my veins at what she’s implying. It’s only Devil’s gentle hand on my shoulder and the small shake of Anthony’s head that keeps me in my seat.

“So, you think you know Lark better than me, huh? Tell me, why do you think she isn’t worthy of being with me?”

Brandy scoffs. “Everyone knows she seduced Kelly Brass’ boyfriend and tried to steal him away from her. And when that didn’t work, she moved on to her other best friend’s boyfriend and started fucking him, too! It’s inevitable that she’ll start cheating on you as soon as you give her what she wants. She probably set fire to her own house just to get attention.”

I see red and Devil’s hand tightens on my shoulders for a moment before it slips away.

“You don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about,” I ground out. “Iwas dating Aiden first. Not even a month later, Kelly wormed her way into his bed. They were fucking behindmyback, not the other way around. As for your other comment about fucking another friend’s boyfriend, I don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about. The only person I’ve been with after Aiden and I broke up is Reaper. I have never cheated on anyone in my life and I never will. That’s not the type of person I am.”

Brandy rolls her eyes before curling her lip in disgust as she looks up and down my body. “I have proof that you seduced Aiden away from Kelly and are trying to seduce Zac away from Khloe, so you can stop lying, you fucking cow.”

I damn near throw up at the mental image of fucking Zac, but I push the bile down and focus on her other words.

I give a little shrug and notice out of the corner of my eye that Anthony’s muscles are coiled so tight I’m afraid he might do something he regrets if this bitch keeps this up.

“Alright, prove it. I’m sure any proof you have is doctored and pieced together since I’m not the one lying here.”

She gives me a smug, satisfied look as she digs her phone out from between her boobs. I wrinkle my nose. What is with people and storing their phones in their boobs? Boob sweat is a real thing.

She taps on her phone, her fake nails clicking against it as she taps. A moment later, she leans forward and sets her phone on Anthony’s desk, while trying to give him a good look of her chest.
