I pull back from him and rest my chin on his chest. “Well, if you have all those people there, then why can’t I be there? It sounds pretty safe to me.”
His fingers trail up and down my arms, causing me to completely get off track. “Because I can’t be there. And if I can’t be with you, then I need you to stay here where I know you’ll be safe. Can you do this for me? Please?”
I take a deep breath and let it out. I hate to bail on my dad, but I guess he’s right, and if Crater is looking for me, I would hate to bring him to my dad. “Fine. I won’t work today. So what am I supposed to do all day?”
“The guys have a few of their ol’ ladies coming over. And they usually bring something to do. And then when I get back later, I’m sure we can think of something to do,” he tells me, his voice dropping huskily.
I pull from his arms and walk toward the bathroom. “Sounds good. But I need to shower first. You think you can wash my back for me?”
Before I even get the words out, he’s pulling his jeans back off. “Oh, I’m sure I can.”

Maddy is going stir crazy. There’s no doubt about it. It’s been almost a week and we can’t find Crater. All of us are on it, but it’s like he’s disappeared. Maddy knows something is up because I still haven’t let her go back to work. Every time she’s mentioned it, I take her back to our room and am able to distract her from asking too much about Crater and what’s happening.
I still haven’t told her about him breaking into her apartment, but I know soon I may have to.
The whole thing has put me and the rest of the club on edge. All the brothers are worried and are bringing the ol’ ladies into the club every day to keep them safe. The single men have been on edge and have finally said fuck it, they’ve had enough. Some of them brought in a handful of sweet butts to play with to help loosen up the tension and all.
I’m not interested in any of them. Damn, all I can think about is Maddy. I’m addicted to her and want to be inside her all the time.
Sniper, Rancher, and I are sitting around the bar top trying to figure things out. Maddy and the other “married” women are off in the “church” room working on some project.
“We’ve got to figure this out. Maddy is going crazy being cooped up here. And I can’t say I blame her. I’ve at least been out, even if it was only to search for that punk Crater. But I haven’t wanted to risk her being out from these four walls,” I tell the guys.
“Did you hear the prospects found Tara? We won’t be getting any information from her anytime soon. She was in the hospital. I guess some of the Fallen Kings used her as their own personal punching bag,” Sniper says with disgust in his voice.
“Fuck!” I slam my fist on the counter. “There has to be something we can do.”
As soon as the words leave my mouth, I feel my chair spin around and a sweet butt lands in my lap. One of the new prospects who’s had way too much to drink has pushed a sweet butt toward me.
She’s positioned herself between my legs. I know her. Krystal’s a single mom that does this to pay for her son’s doctor bills. I’ve never been with her, but I can’t be mean to her. I don’t want to be an asshole to her just because I’m not interested. I manage to disengage her hands from my chest and I’m about to move her from between my legs when Maddy walks into the room.
I can see the hurt, anger and pain all over face before she whirls around and storms out.
“Maddy! Wait!” I tell her as I push the woman into the prospect’s waiting arms.
“Give her a minute to calm down, Iron,” Sniper says beside me.
But I can’t let her leave alone. She’s not just going outside. I saw her face. She’s devastated right now. She’s leaving. “I’m following her. She’s probably going to her house and she doesn’t know about Crater’s threat.”
“Well, fuck!” Ranger exclaims before jumping up from his seat. “Go on. I’ll gather the guys and we’ll be right behind you.”
Maddy
This is bullshit. I’m not hanging around and watching Josh fuck some easy woman. I thought when he said I was his that he meant it, that he wanted me, and we would be exclusive. I guess I’m stupid. Clearly, I’ve been wrong about a lot.
I run out of the clubhouse, and luckily my car is right where I left it. I grab the hide-a-key under the wheel well and pull out of the parking lot. I don’t have a plan, but I know I can’t stay here.
