Storm (Sinning Cobras MC #1) - Colbie Kay Page 0,29
I’m running now and not paying any attention to him.
I sprint until I reach my bike and quickly get her started, speeding out of the compound and throwing gravel in my wake.
After a while, I find myself banging on Nyx and Kayla’s front door. “Storm?” Nyx answers, surprised to see me.
“Where’s your Ol’ Lady?” I growl, still angry with myself for losing control with Haven.
He opens the door wider, allowing me to enter. “She’s putting the baby to sleep. C’mon.”
Following him to their kitchen, I stand there as he reaches into their fridge and grabs a couple beers. Nyx slides one across the granite countertop. Catching it, I open the can and take a long pull. “What you want with Kayla?”
“What about me?” Kayla asks as she joins us in the kitchen. Her eyes widen for a moment when she sees me. “What are you doing here, Storm?”
I run my hand over my beard. “Gotta know what the fuck you’re doing with Haven.”
She gets her own beer out of the fridge. “What do you mean?”
“I asked you to listen to her talk. Let her tell you all about her shit because I couldn’t fuckin’ handle hearing the shit she’s fuckin’ been through.”
Kayla shrugs her shoulder. “I’m doing what you asked.”
“No.” I laugh without mirth and point my finger at her. “You’re changing her. You got her doing all this fuckin’ homework and trying to cook and got her coming out of her room. Why?”
She laughs lightly. “I’m doing my job, Storm. You don’t fucking like it because she isn’t going to need you when I’m done with her. You’re scared, but that’s not my problem. My job is to help Haven grow into an independent young woman, and that’s exactly what I’m doing.”
I rush toward her, but Nyx steps between us. “It’s time to go, Brother.”
My glare stays glued on Kayla. “You don’t know shit.” Nyx takes my arm and starts leading me out of their house.
Kayla yells after us, “Why has it taken this long for her to get help? Why have you let her remain stuck in that room for so fucking long, Storm? Why didn’t you let her leave a long time ago? Why are you here now so concerned and threatened with her progress?”
Nyx closes the door behind us. “Thanks, Brother, now I gotta deal with a pissed off wife all night long.”
“Your Ol’ Lady’s a bitch.”
He laughs. “You’re lucky you’re my brother. Anybody else would be lying dead on my porch for saying some shit like that. You know she’s right, though. What happened to make you come here, and what’s got you ready to kill somebody?”
Sighing heavily, I glance up at the sky. “I lost control with her tonight. I was trying to help her learn how to cook like Kayla wanted, and shit got outta hand. It would have gone a lot further if Ace hadn’t come into the kitchen.”
“Ah.” He nods his head, and I get the feeling he expected this to happen. “You’re not really pissed at Kayla. You’re pissed at yourself. But we’ve all seen this coming, Storm. Shit was bound to happen eventually with you two. If you want Haven, why not just fuckin’ claim her already? And if you don’t want her, why not let her go? Why are you keeping her at the clubhouse? Let her get better and move the fuck on.”
“I want her so bad it fuckin’ hurts, Brother.”
“Sounds like you need to figure your own shit out. Go back to the clubhouse and deal with it.”
I know he’s right, but I can’t go back to the clubhouse right now. No fuckin’ way I could face her after I lost control then ran away. Lighting up a cigarette, I take a few hits and stare up at the dark night sky. Squeezing my eyes shut, I admit, “You’re right, but I don’t even know how to figure this shit out. She’s in my fuckin’ head, and it’s fuckin’ with me.” I rub my hand along my forehead. “I’ll see you tomorrow.” I throw my cigarette on the ground and smash it with my boot.
“Sorry, Brother, I don’t know what to tell you except shit with women is never easy. You gotta figure out if she’s worth all the fuckin’ work. See ya’.” Nyx goes back into his house while I stride to my bike.
What the fuck am I going to do? Starting my Harley, I pull away from their house and just ride. I have
