watching as they speed over to me.

“Lauren!” Natasha screams as she reaches me.

Elise and Drew hold me as Natasha does and we all cry together.

“I’m so glad they found you.” Elise cries into my shoulder.

“What did they do to you?” Drew asks as she looks at my beaten face in horror.

“Standard Devil’s behaviour,” I reply and feel Natasha stiffen under my arm.

I break away from them and wipe my own face. “No more crying for them.” I order.

The three of them nod and wipe their own faces, softly smiling at me.

I hug them again, glad to be back. I’d never had friends before I found these women and I’m so glad to have them in my life. Without them, I don’t know where I would be. When I hold them I think of my sister Maisy. When this all blows over, I need to go and see her.

Brandon rips me away from the girls and they laugh. He scoops me up and holds me tight.

“Sorry girls, but I gotta have her to myself for now.” He walks away, holding me and I couldn’t be happier.

As happy as I am with the girls, I need to be alone with Brandon. I know what he’s feeling, so I don’t bother fighting with him, because I need it too. Instead, I wave at the girls as I’m carried away.

When we get to his room, Brandon lays me down gently on the bed. A definite change from previous times when he’s thrown me down in passion. Now it’s the time for care and nurture, not just for me but for both of us.

Brandon lays down next to me and just looks at me, taking me in. I look at him too, all of him and appreciate what he and his club have done for me twice now. Tears start to run down my face and hit the pillow under me. They sting the cuts on my face.

“Do I look horrible?” I ask. It’s a stupid question I know, but I want to break the silence.

“No.” He shakes his head.

“Liar.” I laugh and I get the tiniest smile back from him.

“I’m just glad to have you back.” He replies and I see his eyes shine. My heart melts for him.

I scoot a little closer to him. “I’m glad to be back.”

Brandon stands and holds his hand out, guiding me to the bathroom. He kisses my head and turns on the shower. When he faces me again, he holds me softly because of my injuries.

“We need to clean you up.” He orders and I nod.

“Thank you.” I whisper.

Brandon frowns and cradles my face in his hands. “You don’t have to thank me, Lauren. You’re my Old Lady and I will do anything for you.”

It’s then that I see the cuts all along his head. I reach out and touch them, looking him all over for more. “He told me you were dead.”

Brandon shakes his head. “I couldn’t die knowing he had you again, Lauren. I would die saving you rather than living without you.”

I start to cry and he kisses me sweetly. It’s a shock. He’s kissed me softly and dominantly, but now sweetly. It’s just what I need right now.

“Come on.” Brandon helps me into the shower and follows me in. He carefully washes my injuries and luckily the whip marks aren’t as bad as they feel and should heal fine. Brandon still wants me to ask Doc to be on the safe side.

When he has washed away the dirt and the blood, he begins to wash my hair for me and I have to fight to not sink to my knees. It feels amazing and I actually moan. Eventually Brandon wraps his arms around me and I feel his erection digging into the bottom of my back. I go to turn around, wanting to see him but he holds me in place.

“No.” Is all he says, and we stay like this for a few minutes. Just Brandon holding me, feeling him and it’s perfect. I have my suspicions that he was crying, but I guess I’ll never know because I won’t ask him. That was his private moment and I’m glad I was there for it.

Chapter 59

We spend the rest of the day alone, just being together and reuniting after yet another tragedy.

“That’s the last time you will see Demon.” He tells me with confidence.

“I know.” I reply with certainty. I know that they have Demon and I’m not stupid to not know what
