“Fine, come on.” I grabbed her hand and led her to the room we all gathered in. “Sit down.” I pointed at a chair as I walked to the front of the room to place my weapons away. “Prez, can I have a quiet word?”
“Sure.” I walked back to the door and the Prez followed me.
“She wants to go to him, she hates that women are dying because of her. Are we able to have a conference call with the Cornish Crusaders?”
“Yeah, two charters are better than one. Come on, let’s get a plan in place and sort this out once and for all.” He slapped me on the back and I followed him back into the room, where it was full of the club brothers that were all willing to help. I pulled Ashlyn out of her chair, sat down and pulled her onto my lap. There were other vacant chairs but I needed her close to me.
The Prez slammed the gavel down. “Right, the only concern we have right now is keeping this woman here safe, we need a plan to get this sick son of a bitch and finally put an end to him. Drake call up your Prez, get them in church and on loud speaker.” I reached into my leather jacket and pulled out my phone dialling my Prez, I explained to him what we wanted to do and he called everyone to join him.
“You’re on loud speaker, Prez,” I said.
“Pipe, let me first thank you for taking good care of my prospect and Ashlyn.”
“It’s not a problem, let’s get this fucker into the ground. Ideas?” Pipe asked.
“We need to go and grab this guy from the location that Ashlyn was given, pump him for information,” Drum said.
“No, he said there would be consequences!” Ashlyn cried.
“With my techniques, I could have him talking within the hour,” Drum boasted.
“No, he’ll know that he’s gone and God knows how many women will turn up the next day,” Ashlyn muttered.
“We use Ashlyn as bait and coax him out of hiding?” Monkey suggested.
“Hell no!” I argued, glaring at him.
“Listen up!” Mason, my VP shouted, trying to get everyone’s attention. “We set a trap, get him or his brothers to follow Drake and Ashlyn and we take them all out. Solar, Toes and I will head up to you tomorrow morning, we’ll work together on this.”
“Holes, what about Cammie?” Ashlyn asked. “And Harley.”
“They’ll be fine. I’ll be home again by night fall.”
“Pipe, this plan work for you?” Prez asked.
“It’s a good a plan as any.”
“My guys will be with you tomorrow.” Prez hung up the phone.
“What about the eleven o’clock present?” Ashlyn asked, worrying her bottom lip between her teeth.
“We’ll get it done before then,” Rooster said. “I think we need to have a practice run to see if Drake and Ash will be followed.”
“Good thinking, VP,” Prez added. “Drake and Ashlyn will go out tonight for a ride to see if they are tailed. We need to make sure this plan will work and it won’t if no one follows them.”
“Prez,” I said in agreement. “Can someone else instead of Ashlyn go?”
“No, if he’s watching, like the junkie said he was, he’ll know it’s not her and then could potentially come to the clubhouse,” Rooster stated.
“That’s the plan. Drake and Ashlyn will go tonight, nine o’clock.” Prez slammed the gavel down and Ashlyn climbed off my lap and hurried out of the room.
“Is she likely to do something stupid?” Rooster asked. “Like sneak out to the address she was given?”
“I’ll keep a close eye on her.” I grabbed my gun and knife out of the plastic drawer and headed into the clubhouse bar where Ashlyn sat.

“Sweetheart, I need you to pack a bag for you and Harley,” I said to Cammie as I walked into our bedroom where she was feeding our son.
“Why? Where are we going?” I climbed onto the bed beside her and kissed her gently on the lips, followed by a soft kiss on the top of Harley’s head.
“You two are going to Devon.” She went to ask more questions and I cut her off. “It’s club business, sweetheart.”
“What about the lockdown?” She passed Harley to me to wind him while she covered herself back up.
“I’ve got to go on a run, I won’t be more than a day but Solar and Toes are coming with me. I’d just be able to concentrate more knowing that you were out of harm’s way. Blade and the DD can protect you and if something went wrong, no one would know where you two were.”
“Go wrong? What could go wrong? I can’t lose you, Mason.” She cuddled into my side and nuzzled her face into my neck. I wound my arm around her and the three of us laid down on the bed.
“I’m going to be fine.”
“Is it Ashlyn? Are you going to help her?”
“Sweetheart.” I sighed. I hated having to keep everything from her but that was how it worked here. Old Ladies never knew club business.
“I’m sorry,” she whispered. “When do we have to go?”
“Tonight. I’ll stay with you at Heather and Blade’s and then I’ll be leaving first thing in the morning. Hoping to be home by the evening.”
“Ok.” She sighed deeply, resigning to the fact she’s being kept in the dark.
“Thank you.” I exhaled in relief that she didn’t fight it and enjoyed a peaceful moment with my wife and son in my arms.

“Cam, it’s time to go.” I pushed open the bedroom door to see that she was fast asleep. Harley was in his moses basket asleep too. I hated to wake them. I strode over to the bed and climbed on behind her, I wound my arms around her tummy and pulled her close to me.
“Mmmmmm,” she moaned which had my cock coming to life.
“Sweetheart,” I whispered in her ear. Her body turned to face me and her smile lit up her face as her gorgeous blue eyes found mine. “It’s time to go.”
“Ok.” She pressed her hand to the back of my neck and encouraged me down to her lips. It was a light, gentle kiss until her tongue traced my bottom lip. As soon as our tongues met, heat shot through me and I used my hand that was on her hip to roll her onto her back. Her legs opened and I settled in between them, pushing my hard cock onto her jean covered pussy. She gasped and I used that moment to deepen the kiss and take control. I angled her head and ran kisses down her neck.
“Mason,” she moaned. Just as I was about to pop open the button on her jeans and slip my hand inside, Harley chose that moment to wake up and scream.
“Fuck!” I cursed. I was rock hard and needed a little relief. Cammie pushed me off of her and shot to her feet.
“Hi, sweetie,” Cammie cooed at him. He let out a wail and she picked him up. “Oh, no, what’s wrong?” She placed him on her chest and rocked him until he calmed down. “There, all better. Mummy’s got you.”
I groaned and threw my arm over my eyes, willing my hard cock to calm down. I wasn’t getting any action and we needed to be leaving to get to the Devon Destroyers clubhouse.
“Mase, can you grab his car seat? I’ll just change his nappy real quick and then we can get going. Our bags are packed.” She pointed to the three bags by the door.
“Shit, woman, how long you going for?” I laughed.
“We need lots of stuff now we have this one.” She tickled his tummy as she redressed him. “I just need to use the bathroom.” She passed him to me and I got him settled in his car seat.
“Are you ok to drive? So I can take my bike?” I called out.
“Yeah.”
“I’ll meet you in the car, sweetheart.”
***
We arrived at the Devon Destroyers clubhouse an hour after we left Cornwall, Heather didn’t waste any time in stealing Harley from his car seat and cuddling him.
“Hi, handsome,” she cooed at him as she walked and stood in front of the fireplace.
“Hey, nice to see you too.” I laughed looking at her. She waved me off with a flick of her hand and I turned towards Blade who was sprawled out on the sofa with the TV
remote in his hand.
When the original DD clubhouse got blown up, Blade and the guys found this old hotel, bought it cheap as fuck and practically re-built it. They had converted the top floor into a home for Blade, Heather and their kids so that Blade didn’t have to be separated from them when the club needed him, it was a tough job being the president of an MC but Blade took to it like a duck to water.
“How’s things?” I asked as I sat next to him and placed my feet onto the solid wooden coffee table.
“Mason, feet.” Heather scowled at me. I sat up in my seat and placed my right foot onto my left knee.
“Yeah, things are good. No major drama. Just bought another strip club.”
“Another one?” I laughed.
“Yep, the men in this town spend a fortune on them. Plus, I want all traces of drugs out of this place. No more runs, dealing or using in the clubhouse, not with my kids around.”
“Yeah, I can understand that man.” I looked over my shoulder to see that Cammie had made herself at home in the large kitchen, making tea and coffee. The whole of the upstairs was open planned. The kitchen flowed into the dining room and living room, then down the hallway was the bedrooms and bathroom.
“Here we go,” Cammie said as she placed a cup of coffee in front of me and Blade.
“Thanks, Cam.” Blade smiled at her as he sat forward and reached for his cup.
“He’s seriously gorgeous, Cammie.” Heather beamed as she sat in the large swivel chair by the fireplace, keeping a firm grip on him.
“That’s because he looks like me.” I chuckled as Cammie picked up her cup of tea and sat next to me. Heather was about to answer when a cry came from down the hall.
“Oh, that’s Liam.”
“I’ll go, Sugar,” Blade said as he climbed to his feet and strolled down the hallway. The women started chatting and I looked around at my surroundings; there was a huge fireplace with a fire guard in front of it, a large corner sofa and swivel chair. Big ass flat screen TV with surround sound, a corner of the room was filled with kid’s toys and the large kitchen was filled with bottles and children’s cups with all sorts of characters on them, from Frozen to Thomas the Tank Engine.
“Mummy.” A sob broke out from Liam as Blade rounded the corner and into the room with Liam sitting on his hip, his face was red from crying and he held a teddy to his chest.
“Here she is buddy,” Blade said as he plopped Liam down next to Heather on the swivel chair. Cammie jumped up and picked up Harley, laying him against her chest.
“What’s wrong, baby?” Heather cooed as Liam climbed in her lap.
“Hug,” he said as he flung his small little arms around her neck.
“Shall we ask daddy to get you some milk?” she said as she rubbed her hand up and down his back. He nodded into her shoulder and Heather looked at Blade.
“Coming right up.” He strolled off into the kitchen and I looked down at Harley to see that he was still fast asleep, he never minded being passed from one person to another.
“We’ve set the spare room up for you. The moses basket is in there. I just hope the kids don’t disturb you in the morning, they get up early,” Heather said to us.
“Here we go, Sugar.” Blade passed her the bottle of warm milk as he squeezed onto the chair with her.
“Thanks.” He kissed her gently on the lips as Liam reached for the bottle. He settled against Heathers chest and guzzled down the contents, his eyes were closing as he started falling back to sleep.
“I need to be up and gone early tomorrow anyway,” I told them all as Cammie let out a yawn beside me. “Come on, let’s get you to bed.” I stood up and scooped Harley into my arms. “Thanks again for letting her stay.”
“You’re all family.” Heather smiled. I nodded my head in appreciation and then led Cammie down the hallway and to bed.

It was nearly seven in the morning and I was just about ready to leave, I had planned to be on the road by six at the latest. I found it difficult to pry myself away from Cammie’s hot body.
“Call me, if you need anything,” I said to Cammie as I held her in my arms by the front door. Kelsey, Tegan and Liam were all sitting at the kitchen table having their breakfast, Heather was right when she said they would be up early. It was five in the morning when I heard the first patter of tiny feet running down the hall.
“We’ll be fine. Please be careful and come home to us.” Cammie stretched up on her tiptoes and kissed me firmly on the lips. I kissed Harley on the head as he laid in Cammie’s arms and shouted my goodbyes to everyone else.
“I’ll walk you down,” Blade said as he slapped me on the back. “You three, be good for mummy today. Sugar, if you need me, call. I’ll only be at the clubhouse today.”
“Bye, Mase. Love you, Kade!” Heather called out.
“Love you all.” He was answered with a load of love you daddy and bye.
“Love you,” I said once more to Cammie with a kiss.
“We love you too.”
Blade pulled the door open and we walked down the stairs that led us to the side of the clubhouse. Just as I reached for my helmet that was hanging off the handlebars, a load of shouting came from the front of the clubhouse.
“What the hell is going on this early?” Blade muttered as he stormed off around the corner with me hot on his heels.
What I didn’t expect was to see a woman who had been beaten badly, her clothes were covered in blood and a furious Riz paced in front of her. His hair was a mess, his clothes were creased as if he had slept in them and his fists were clenched along with his jaw.
“What’s going on?” Blade asked as he stepped closer to them. “Beauty?” he asked. She nodded her head, her chin trembled as she wrapped her arms around her middle as an act of comfort. I remember something about this chick, she worked at the strip club ‘Skins’, she usually had long straight dark hair and pale skin. Not dark, matted hair covered in blood and bruises forming on her arms, face and neck.
“Tell me what happened,” Blade demanded.
“Son, let’s get her inside,” Bear, Blade’s dad, said as he slapped him on the shoulder. Blade nodded in agreement and we all filed into the clubhouse. Beauty sat down on the leather sofa and Anna, one of the club girls, sat beside her, handing her a glass with brown liquid in it. Beauty slung back the shot and winced at the same time.
“What happened?” Riz asked as his pacing slowed. I vaguely remember Blade saying something about one of the strippers that Riz had taken a liking too, that he was always at Skins when she was working. I didn’t know more than that, were they involved?
“A customer.” She took a deep breath. “He wanted me to join him in the back room, you know I don’t do the back room, I only dance and serve drinks.” Her eyes were focused on Riz.
“I know.” He nodded.
“He wasn’t happy that I had refused. He said that girls like us were there to service him, make him happy and that we had to do whatever he wanted. He flashed a lot of cash at Anton, he stepped aside and let him drag me in there.” She sobbed and Anna comforted her the best way that she could.
“Who’s Anton?” I asked Bear.
“Club security.”
“Do you know who it was?” Blade asked her.
“Parker.” She continued to cry and it made it harder to understand what she was saying.
“Fuck!” Riz roared. “I’m going to kill them both.” He stormed out of the clubhouse and Blade followed him, shouting at him to stop. He clearly wasn’t listening.
“Let’s ride!” Blade shouted at the members that were sitting around. Everyone climbed to their feet and hurried out of the room. “You ok with her?” he asked Anna.
“Yeah, I’ll get her cleaned up and set up in a room.”
“You need my help?” I asked as I followed Blade out of the clubhouse.
“Na, man. Get to the job you’re needed for.” He squeezed my shoulder and I nodded my head
at him. I watched as they all flew out of the compound. I needed to get a move on before I was late. I straddled my bike, started her up and headed for Leicestershire.
Chapter 18
Drake
Ashlyn and I had gone out for a bike ride last night and just as we had hoped we were followed. Ashlyn was worried that they would make a move to get her and she calmed down once I told her that the black transit van that we had passed had Henry and Monkey in it. We only drove for ten minutes in a circle and the two bikes followed our every move. It had made me more positive that the plan would work.
“You awake, darlin’?” I nuzzled into Ashlyn’s back and she moaned in response, pushing her ass into my already hard cock. I slipped my hand over her waist and just as I was about to edge it into her underwear there was a loud bang on the door.
“Prospect, you better get out here!” Rooster shouted through the door.
“Hold that thought, darlin’. I’ll be back.” I jumped out of bed and stepped into my jeans, threw a t-shirt on and grabbed my jacket and gun. “What are you doing?” I turned around to see that Ashlyn had dressed quicker than me and she was slipping her feet into some flip flops. She always wore those bloody things no matter what the weather was like, although, I did put my foot down and didn’t let her wear them on my bike.
“I’m coming with you,” she said defiantly. I heard a lot of commotion coming from down the hall so I shook my head at her for being stubborn, grabbed her hand and yanked open the bedroom door. There was a flurry of activity in the bar and we headed that way.
“What’s going on?” I asked as we stopped by the side of Drum.
“The gift was early.” His sombre voice had me wondering why it had affected him. When he dealt with the girl yesterday that was dumped outside, he carried on like it was just a normal day.
“What?” Ashlyn gasped as she pulled her hand out of mine and pushed her way through all of the people. I was close behind her and when she stopped dead in her tracks, I almost knocked her over. I grabbed hold of her hips to steady her and jumped when she let out a piercing cry.
