I stare at them, getting angrier and more repulsed by the second. Why am I even thinking of letting Devlin near me? He wouldn’t want this! Devlin could have any pick of woman, when he sees my skin he won’t want me. He will most likely run away feeling sick. I do, and unfortunately I can’t run away from it. If I want to keep flirting with Devlin, then I need to make sure he doesn’t see my horrid skin. Ever since that accident and foolish kiss we shared not long after I arrived here, we’ve shared a chemistry. I can’t fight it, but I’m terrified of letting go and risk getting hurt because that will happen. As soon as Devlin sees my scars, he won’t want me anymore and I actually need him. His attention makes me feel needed. When Devlin talks to me, I don’t feel ugly and damaged, instead I feel sexy.

My phone makes me jump as it vibrates on the wood bathroom side and when I see I have another text from Devlin, I can’t help but smile.

Devlin – Damn, I should have stayed! I bet you look gorgeous in the morning.

Still smiling, I send a reply.

Me – Hardly! I’m going in the shower, might catch you later x

I bite on my lip, knowing I am teasing him.

Devlin – Fuck what you look like in the morning! I want to see you in the shower!

Laughing, I put down my phone and get in the shower.

I’m bored of waiting! I need action, I’m not going to get Raven just sitting here.

I look over at Venom, my stupid brother. He has a drunken girl sprawled over him and it’s just another thing on my long list that is pissing me off. I wish he would just fuck her already so I can kill her and be done with it. I always have to do Venom’s killings because he hasn’t got the balls to do it.

“Venom!” I shout over at him.

He straight away stops what he’s doing and walks over to me. Much to the whores’ disappointment, as she sulks while Venom walks away.

“Brother.” Venom greats me.

“Go and get Switch.” I order.

“I think he’s upstairs.” Venom tells me and I raise my eyebrows.

“Did I ask where he is, or did I tell you to get him for me?” I snap.

Without another word, Venom runs away and then I’m joined by his little whore.

“Impressive.” She purrs. “I like a man in control.”

I turn to look at her, she’s not too bad looking, if fake and dirty are what you like. Lucky for me, I don’t really give a shit.

“Suck my dick.” I order her and I see the pleasure ripple through her.

Without question, she gets down on her knees, unzips my jeans and begins to suck on my cock. I don’t even enjoy it, but what I do like it the look on my brothers’ face when he walks back with Switch right behind him.

I push the girl away, and she squeals as she falls to the floor. If I didn’t know any better, then I would think she rather enjoyed that.

“Strike.” Switch greets me.

“I need Raven.” Is all I say.

“We will find her.” Switch insists.

“Then fucking get her!” I shout.

Nobody stops what they’re doing, that’s because they are all used to this. Me shouting and demanding is a daily tradition. Now, if they stopped and stared, that would be a problem.

“She’s surrounded by Kings members, there’s no way in.” Switch replies and I can hear the desperation pouring from him.

“You got her in your bed before, do it again.” I remind him.

“She was different back then and she didn’t know who I really was. She will never trust me.” Switch reminds me.

Of course, why would I be so stupid?

“What about our inside man?” Venom asks.

I turn to look at him. My stupid and annoying brother and jump up. Venom nearly jumps out of his skin in shock as I hold his head in my hands and kiss him.

“That’s why you’re my brother.” I praise him.

I go back to my chair, pulling out one of my many phones from the drawer and sit down while the dial tone sounds though my ear. Venom and Switch stand close by.

After a couple of rings, he picks up.

“I told you not to ring me.” He snaps as he answers.

“I’m getting impatient.” I growl.

“I get that, but getting them apart is a hard job. Lauren is always with Grim, this isn’t easy!” He shouts back.

“Her name is Raven and she’s mine!” I roar even louder. “You will fucking get her back or I will kill you!”

There’s a minutes silence, and I would think he’s hung up on me but I can hear the fucker breathing.

“I have a plan.” He finally says. “Just do as I say, I think this is the only way to get Raven on her own and as soon as we do, that’s when we get her.”

I don’t like taking orders from other people. I only took it from Demon because he was my President and even then I was always thinking of ways to get rid of him.

What my little rat has to is genius! I just know it won’t be long until Raven is back with me. Exactly where she belongs.

“Oh, and one more thing.” He interrupts my thoughts. “The Kings know where you are and they’re planning an ambush.”

“When?” I ask, but as soon as I do I hear the gunfire.

Today I’m helping Lauren get to know some of the old ladies around here. Seeing as she’s with Grim now, she has to know most of them, if not all. I’m also here to see if Drew drops by, I want to ask her more about wanting to get into business together.

“He looks so much happier now.” Praises one of the old ladies to Lauren. “You’re good for him.”

“Thank you.” Smiles Lauren. We spend all morning in the club house, the children are running around and the club members are laughing together. What still surprises me though, is that even though these men are big, tattooed and some of them scary looking bikers, they adore their women. The members who have old ladies walk over to their women and children every now and then and make sure they’re ok. They give them a kiss and have a quick conversation before going back to the men of the club. It’s lovely to see, especially because the first MC I was introduced to was The Devil Spawn and we all know how that went. I adore watching the men pay the ladies in their lives attention and bringing smiles to their faces. It makes me believe that happiness can happen.

The children absolutely love Lauren and I think they feel the same about me, seeing as they won’t leave me alone. I’m overcrowded with giggling children but I don’t mind at all.

“You know Lauren, the younger girls will look up to you now.” Nelly, one of the old ladies teases her. Lauren instantly looks worried and I laugh silently.

“No.” Lauren shakes her head.

“Oh yes they will.” I nudge Lauren in the side. “You’re the VP’s Old Lady.”

“You’re new, young and pretty. Never mind that you’re with Grim, who is soon to be President. You’ll be a role model to the girls.” Marie another old lady says to her. They’re teasing her, but there’s truth to what they are saying. All the young kids around here already love her, they will grow to respect her and look up to Lauren.

Nelly has a 2 year old son and Marie has three children. She’s an experienced old lady and is one tough bitch. Along with Laura, Grim’s mother and women like Marie and Nelly around her I’m sure she will become a great role model around here. After Nelly and Marie leave with their children I look to Lauren and see the embarrassment written all over her face.

“Don’t beat yourself up about it.” I interrupt her worrying thoughts. She turns to look at me, she’s frowning and looks a little pale.
