Revenge (31 page)

Moving between them, he pressed a finger to her clit,
caressing the bud. Her pussy clenched around his cock, and he didn’t stop until
she screamed out her climax. When she came down from her orgasm, he gripped her
hips and started to pound inside.

They moved together as if they’d known each other for
a lifetime rather than a few chance meetings. When he was with Lacey, Whizz
felt like she knew what he was going through. He trusted her vague words and
the depth of pain in her eyes. He saw it, and understood it. Lacey had been
through hell and was still living.

Grinding his teeth together, he thrust up inside her a
final time, releasing his cum inside her body.

She collapsed against him. Her breath fanned across
his neck. Stroking her hair out of the way, Whizz felt complete.

“We need to stop doing this,” she said.

“I don’t care so long as you don’t.”

He really didn’t. Their meetings weren’t hurting
anyone, and he didn’t see why it was a problem.

Lacey relaxed against him, and he held her tight never
wanting to let her go.

Chapter Fourteen

Devil was thankful that Vincent and Phoebe were happy
to take the three kids. He’d not heard from Tiny that morning, and so he decided
to leave getting in touch with the bastard. If Tiny wanted to cause a problem,
Devil wasn’t going to go out of his way to fix it.

“Are you sure about this?” Devil asked, holding
Lexie’s hand.

They were waiting outside the morgue at the hospital.
The police had taken down the crime scene tape from the club as they all had
alibis.

“I’m not sure about anything. She was my sister, and I
don’t know what to think.”

She tightened her hold on him.

“Don’t think about anything, baby. Kayla was simply in
the wrong place at the wrong time.” Devil had tried, unsuccessfully, to help
her get through this.

“Gonzalez went out of his way to find her, Devil.
Kayla wasn’t stupid. You warned her away, and she stayed away from us. She
wouldn’t have come back to Piston County willingly.” Lexie stopped as she
swallowed down a sob.

Seeing the emotion on her face was tearing him up
inside. Devil never did like seeing Lexie upset. When he got his hands on
Gonzalez, he was going to kill him.

“She died because of us. We should have warned her or
at least found someone to protect her.”

“There was nothing we could have done, Lex. She was
dead to the world. Whoever she was, she wasn’t Kayla Howard.”

“What do we tell Simon?” Lexie asked.

“I told you, he doesn’t need to know about Kayla.
You’re his mother, and the only woman he knows is you.” Devil wasn’t going to
let his son know the truth of how he was born. Fucking a whore and the condom
breaking had been his mistake. Chasing Kayla to Piston County and claiming her
younger sister was a story Simon didn’t need to know about.

“This is wrong. Have you talked to Tiny?” she asked,
changing the subject.

“No, and I have no intention of talking to him.”

“Do you know how childish you sound?”

Devil chuckled. “It’s the way we are together. Don’t
worry. I’ll call him when I’m good and ready.”

He wasn’t going to call him until he was ready to talk
to the bastard. This morning recalling what Tiny called his women had sent
another rush of anger inside him. None of the women in the club were whores,
and Devil refused to let him get away with it. The only chance he was giving
Tiny was to get rid of Gonzalez. When that was over, then he would consider a
friendship, until then, nothing.

“You’re never going to call him,” Lexie said.

“I will.”

“Don’t lie. It doesn’t become you.” She rested her
head in her hand. “This is a nightmare.”

“I’m not in any rush for you to see a dead body. You
shouldn’t be either.” He tugged her into his arms. She snuggled up against him.

Stroking her hair, he stared at the clinical walls
around him.

“I’m still going to talk with Eva. Is that okay?” she
asked.

“Yeah, it’s okay.” Devil knew if he refused she would
find some way of getting what she wanted anyway.

The door to their left opened.

“Would you like to follow me?” the cop asked.

He got to his feet and kept an arm around Lexie so she
didn’t pass out. They entered a large, cool room. The inside looked like a
morgue on the television.

“I want to warn you both there
was
bruising to her face, but if you can’t confirm we can go through dental records
instead. Please, take your time. I know this must be hard.”

“I’m ready. Could you pull the blanket away?” Lexie
asked.

Devil tightened his hold around her body. If he could
stop this, he would have. No woman should have to be witnessing a dead body of
a relative.

Staring at the woman, Devil recognized her right away
from the tattoo near her collarbone. The woman on the table was Kayla Howard.

From the sob Lexie gave out, she recognized her as
well.

Turning her away from the dead body, he pressed her
face against his chest.

“Yes, it’s her.”

“Okay. The autopsy is complete. Will you sign here,
and we’re going to release the body to you to handle the funeral arrangements.”

Devil signed the necessary paperwork. “Call the club.
We’ll handle everything and thank you.”

The cop nodded and helped them to leave the room.
Lexie held onto his jacket crying her eyes out.

Moving out of the morgue, he didn’t release Lexie until
he got to the car. He found Death, Pussy, and Ripper waiting for him.

“Is it true?” Pussy asked.

“Yeah, Kayla was beaten and raped.” He nodded at the
cop across from him, who waved in his direction. “He told me everything the
autopsy report said.” Devil lowered his voice so Lexie didn’t hear. “Everett
did this,” Devil said.

“How do you know?”

“On the body he tattooed his name across her stomach.
It was recent, and the bastard had to have been doing it to her during the
torture. He killed Kayla then went after Eva. Gonzalez is going to kill all of
us. It’s only a matter of time.”

“You should call Tiny. Let him know what you’ve found
out,” Ripper said.

“Do you think the bastard deserves it?” Pussy asked.
“He kicked us out of his town. I say let the fucker rot.”

“What about your wedding” Devil asked.

“Sasha wouldn’t mind getting married here. I don’t
need to be in Fort Wills to make her mine.”

Devil shook his head. “That wedding is the only place
I see us getting Gonzalez at his weakest. We can take out every single fucker
who threatens to take us out. I don’t like it, but we’ve got no choice.”

Resting his hand against the car, Devil tapped his
foot on the ground. “Call a meeting. I want us to talk this through, and I’ll
put a call to Tiny, see where we stand.”

“Do you want me to follow you back home?” Death asked.

“No, it’ll be fine. Hopefully Gonzalez doesn’t know we’re
home yet. I know it’s a leap seeing as he’s got men around, but I’m hoping I’m
right. We’ll be safe for a day or so. I want to give Lexie that freedom at
least before things start to go shit for us all.” Devil rounded the car and
moved to the driver’s side. “Make sure you’re all safe.”

Climbing into the car, he started up the engine.

“What did they want?” Lexie asked, sniffling.

“We’re going to talk with The Skulls and come up with
a plan.”

“Are you going to retaliate?” She stared at him. Her
eyes were red and puffy from crying.

“Do you want me to retaliate because of this?”

“I don’t want you to be hurt, but she was my sister. I
don’t want him to go without some form of punishment.”

“We’re going to kill him, Lex. You’ve just got to give
us time.”

“I don’t care. He killed Kayla, and she wasn’t part of
the club or you. She deserves to be retaliated for.” She slammed her palm along
the dashboard. “Are you going to do it, or do I have to do it myself?” she
asked, glaring at him. She wasn’t listening to him. Devil saw none of his words
were getting through.

Staring at her, he let out a sigh. “I’ll do it. You’ve
got to give me a day or so before I do. I need to make sure when I do retaliate
we’re strong enough to take any backlash he dishes out.”

She nodded. “Good.
Phone Tiny.
I think it’s time for us all to plan the wedding.”

Pulling out of the hospital, Devil travelled to
Vincent and Phoebe’s house.

“I want to pick up the kids before we go home.”

“I don’t like the thought of you being alone,” he
said.

“I’m not in the mood for company, and Phoebe shouldn’t
be the one to deal with me right now. I’ll take care of our kids and bake a
little. I’m going to call Eva. I don’t give a fuck what Tiny said. She’s my
friend, and I’m not going to stop talking to her just because he’s being a
prick.”

His wife didn’t sound like herself. Driving to Phoebe
and Vincent’s house, he picked up the kids.

“How is she doing?” Vincent asked.

“Not good. She’s angry, and she wants me to retaliate
because of Kayla’s death.”

“What did you say?”

“I had no choice but to agree. She threatened to do it
on her own if I didn’t.”

Vincent shook his head. “You shouldn’t have taken her
to see her dead sister.”

“Again, I didn’t have a choice. I’ve still got to live
with my wife.”

“Still, this could change Lexie, and you may not like
what she turns into.”

Devil watched as Lexie cuddled Josh to her as Phoebe
walked with Elizabeth and Simon. Lexie wasn’t going to change. He knew his
woman, and she was hurting right now. It would only be a matter of time before
she was back to her old ways.

“We’re meeting at the club,” he said. “I suggest you
be there.”

“I wouldn’t miss it.”

Nodding, Devil climbed back behind the wheel as Lexie
secured Josh into his car seat. Driving the short distance to his own house, he
picked up Elizabeth and walked with Simon indoors.

In the kitchen he’d set up a play area for all three
kids.

Lexie wasn’t talking, not even to her kids.

Placing them safely in the play area he gave an order
to Simon to be good.

Grabbing her arm, Devil tugged her out of the kitchen.

“Hey, what are you doing?” she asked.

He pressed her against the wall.

“You better get your fucking act together.”

“What?”

“You heard me. I don’t give a fuck that you just saw
your sister lying on a slab of fucking metal. She was willing to let you die
when she dropped Simon off.” She went to mouth off to him. He covered her mouth
with his hand. “I don’t give a fuck what you’ve got to say. You can be silent
as I talk, and if you’ve got a problem with that, then tough.” He stopped,
seeing her eyes were wide. Good, she was listening. “I’m going to retaliate
regardless of what the club thinks. Kayla was not a club whore or even an old
lady. She was a bitch of the highest order. No one liked her. They do not need
to retaliate unless I order them to.”

Removing his hand, he was surprised she didn’t start
arguing with him.

“Those are our kids in there, and you’ve not spoken to
them. You want to turn into a bitch, fine, but you’ll do it without them.”

“You wouldn’t take me away from them.”

“Until you got your shit together I’d do it. I’d make
sure you didn’t see them until all of this was over. Get your shit together
before it’s taken out of my hands. Be Lexie, be the woman I love.”

She blew out a breath. “I’m sorry.”

“Don’t be sorry. Be strong. Nothing is going to
happen. I won’t let it.” He leaned forward and brushed his lips against hers.

“Okay.” She offered him a small smile.

When he was satisfied that she was back, he let her
go.

Staying in the doorway he watched her kiss their kids
one by one. Losing someone you cared about could easily change a person. He
wasn’t going to let Lexie have the chance to change. She was the only woman he
loved.

Pulling out his cell phone, he pressed
Tiny’s
number and let it ring.

“Hello,” Tiny said.

“I’m not in your town anymore, but we’ve still got a
fucking problem.” Devil turned away from his woman and made his way toward his
office.

“What?”

“We’ve still got Gonzalez to deal with together. If
you think you’re over this then think again. Everett took out Kayla, Lexie’s
sister, before he went after Eva. Gonzalez is going to take us out.”

“Fuck!”
