Army reclined in the chair. “She’s got a name—Mia. I’m staying with her. The club may not like it, but there’s nothing in the bylaws against me having a rival fucker’s sister as my woman.”
“Did you think how this is going to play out?” Paco said.
“Yeah. If she can’t come to the club, I get it and she’ll get it too. She’s not involved in the club wars. She just happens to be the sister of a sonofabitch.” Army splayed his hands on the table. “She’s important to me, and I can’t let her go.”
“You’re a fuckin’ pussy!” Crow’s angry voice boomed through the room. Suddenly, all eyes were on Army.
He darted his gaze around the room, and from the look on some of the members’ faces, he knew they agreed with Crow. “Maybe, but I think Steel, Paco, Diablo, Sangre and some of the others understand what I’m saying.”
“None of the old ladies have deep ties to a rival MC,” Steel said in a low voice.
Paco cleared his throat. “We see this relationship as a problem because we can’t trust her. You’re looking at it with your cock, and we’re looking at it objectively.”
“Bullshit. What I have with Mia is more than sexual.” Loud rumbles echoed around the brothers. “It’s true. I can’t walk away from her, but I don’t want to lose the brotherhood.”
“How much shit did you tell her when you were inside her pussy?” Skull asked.
Army scowled at him. “I’m gonna let that pass this time, but you say one more thing even remotely disrespectful about Mia, we’re gonna have a round in the yard.”
“What did you tell her?” Steel asked.
Army’s chest tightened as anger crawled up his spine. “The same thing you tell Breanna.” He looked at Paco. “Or Chelsea.” He slammed his fist on the table, knocking over the empty glass. “Give me a fuckin’ break! I’m a Night Rebel through and through. I’d die for any of you. Any one of you pussies want to challenge me onthat?”
“We’re not disputing your loyalty,” Paco said. “It’s just that you really need to think about what you’re doing. If she’s bullshitting you, you’re putting the whole club in jeopardy.”
Army snapped his gaze to the vice president’s. “Isn’t that what Steel told you when you moved Chelsea into the clubhouse? You argued for her because you believed her—you trusted your gut. That’s where I’m at, and my gut is telling me Mia’s not involved. I respect the way you all feel, and that’s why I’m moving out of the clubhouse.”
Paco stood up. “I hope you’re doing the right thing in trusting her.”
Army held his chin up. “I am.” He watched him and Steel walk back to where the old ladies sat. Chelsea caught his eyes and smiled at him, then turned away when Paco came over to her.
The other brothers dispersed and headed back to the bar and the pool table. Army took out his phone.
Army:I’ve been a fuckin’ fool, babe. Coming to Durango.
In less than a second the phone pinged.
Mia:U have. Bout time u realized it.
He threw his head back and roared. Damn she got his blood going.
Army:I’m leaving now. Be ready. Makeup sex is the best.
Mia:U put me through 3 days of hell. Ur crazy if u think ur getting it that easily.
Army grinned knowing full well that she would make him grovel, and he was totally up to the challenge. She was his wildcat, and he would’ve been disappointed if she greeted him with open legs.
Army:Leaving soon.
Mia:xoxo. Luv u.
Army:Me 2.
He got up and went to his room to take a shower and pack a few things. When he came back to the main room, he walked over to Steel.
“I’m going to Durango for a few days. Lil’ Donnie said that the buy is gonna happen in ten days. I’ll be back before then. Chad and Brutus can cover Lust for me. Call me on my phone if you need me back sooner.”
“We can manage without you for a couple of days,” Steel said, grasping his shoulder. “I need you fuckin’ focused when we take the Pistons and the 39thStreet punks down.”
