at my mom and that alone makes it all worth it.
“She tells me you’re a mechanic. We’re gonna be openin’ a legit shop as soon as things settle down around here and we want you on lead. You interested?” Jeff nods his head.
“Damn right I am. Look, I know the story, man. It’s not my business but for what it’s worth, I think you’re doing right by this club.”
“I appreciate that. I’m tryin’ to bring it back to its roots but that’s gonna take some time. Not everything is gonna run legal around here, but I will keep you out of it as much as possible,” I tell him truthfully. He nods his head and looks back to my mom.
“You love her?” I ask.
“Yeah. More than she will allow too. That woman is stronger than I thought when I first met her.
“Goddamn right she is.”
“Come on, I’ll show you around,” Preacher says, nodding over his shoulder. Jeff takes off following behind him. I think he’s going to be good for my mom. I wanted her here and she wanted him. It’s a win-win in my book.
“You okay?”
“I’m perfect, babe. Look at this. My family is all here. The club is getting the work done that it needed,” I say.
“What about the Columbians? I know you said Cash fucked up with them. Have you worked it out?”
“Somewhat. We’re still hashin’ it all out but I think we’ll end up fine. What did you find out about your doctor friend?”
“She needs another month to wrap up what she’s doing before she can come. I’m sorry, Grave. I really wanted to help him get back on the meds before then,” Silla says looking defeated. I reach out and run my hands up and down her arms.
“He’s been off them so long; I don’t think another month is gonna hurt much. We got him. We can keep him straight until then,” I remind her. We can’t just take him to a regular doc. Last time we tried, they told us he was a danger to himself and others. The bastard went as far as to try and get a court order to keep him locked up in some hospital. We handled that, of course, but I won’t risk it again. We use in-house trusted docs and that’s it.
“You’re a good friend, Grave.”
“I don’t know about all that.”
“I do. I’ve watched you with them. The four of you. It’s amazing.”
“Where did your brother go? He left pretty quickly,” I ask her.
“He said he would come back, but this wasn’t his scene.” She giggles.
“That I have no doubt. He’s somethin’ else.”
“He is but he’s my family. I never knew I would love saying that as much as I do. It kind of grows on you.”
“He ain’t your only family, babe.”
“I know that.”
“Do you? Or do I need to bend you over that pool table and remind you?”
“That is one thing not happening around here anymore!” We both look over at my mom where she stands with her hands on her hips.
“You forget whose club this is?” I tease her.
“You forget who changed your diapers and wiped your ass for years? Don’t think I’m walking through here and finding your cock swinging, Greyson. I swear to God!” Silla laughs hysterically and I can’t help but join in.
“I’m glad you’re back,” I tell her. She looks around at the construction we have going on and nods.
“Me too.” I watch her walk off before spinning Silla in my arms and kissing her possessively. My tongue sweeps into her mouth tasting her. I don’t think I could get enough of this girl even if I tried.
“You ready for tonight?”
“What’s tonight?” she asks, looking up at me with those big brown eyes I’ve come to love so much.
“Party, baby. Got a surprise for you, too.”
“What is it?”
“Why the hell would I tell you what the surprise is?”
“I don’t like surprises, Grave. I think you know that already.”
“This one you will.”
“You don’t know that,” she adds.
“I know that if you don’t shut the fuck up, I’m gonna put that mouth of yours to good use.”
“Is that a promise? she teases.
“You like promises but not surprises? What the hell?”
“Shut up and kiss me, Grave.” That I can do.
Chapter Thirty
The construction to the clubhouse is going to be ongoing. I want every fucking reminder of Cash out of here. Every bullet hole, the carpet, everything. He let this club turn to shit and I plan on fixing all that. With that being said, there
