leave both him and Fin. I’ve never been on my own. Fin has always been a phone call away and now they’re sending me off to college.
I almost can’t believe that I’m going to go. It shocks me. After being with Eric for so long, I never thought I would have the chance to live out my future the way I wanted to. Now I have Viking leading the way to it.
“Thank you,” I tell him softly.
His lips press into the top of my head.
“For what?”
“Believing in me, pushing me, and loving me.”
Viking chuckles and nuzzles his face deeper into my hair. “That’s the easy part baby girl.”

VIKING
Well I never thought I’d see the day,” I say as I smirk at the bastards.
“Fuck you,” he spits.
I glance up at Fin and we both chuckle.
“I thought I made the message clear enough when I slit your boy’s throat? Apparently that was too simple a gesture. What should we do with the rest of these little shits Fin?”
I glance over at him as he twirls his blade in between his fingers. All was calm for a while. We laid back, recovered, and kept business moving forward. Imagine my surprise when the little fuckers of the rat boys showed up outside our clubhouse ready for a war they weren’t prepared for.
Mason, Ink, and the prospects made quick work of rounding the little wanna be thugs up and bringing them out to the docks. They were damn lucky when they set foot on my property that my girl wasn’t there. Luckily for me she was now out shopping with Molly and Whitley.
“I think cuttin’ off each of their head and rollin’ that shit
down off the dock sounds fun,” Fin adds as his voice slurs a little.
I chuckle, look back at the guys on their knees in front of us, and chuckle as I say, “That sound fun boys?”
“You don’t have to kill us. We’ll disappear,” the new ringleader tells me.
Turns out Eric was the leader all along. He killed the other one and quickly slid into his place. He did forget one crucial part in all of this though, me.
“I already know you’re gonna disappear. As soon as Shook gets you out on that boat that is. You see, he knows where the sharks like to feed at. Did I ever tell you that man has a thing for sharks? He loves watchin’ them eat. Meal times are his favorite.”
The guy in front of me shakes his head rapidly. I almost laugh, but keep it down.
“Let’s finish this shit. We’ve got a party to attend,” Fin reminds me.
I grunt, grab one of the guys by the hair, and drag him toward me.
“Yeah my girl’s goin’ to college. You go to college pretty boy?” I ask him as he squirms to try to get out of my hold.
“No.”
“Too bad. Maybe you wouldn’t be endin’ up shark bait if you had gone. See, that’s why I’m pushin’ my girl to go yeah? I want her to be somethin’ better than us. That make sense?” I ask him as I pull him to his feet.
“Yes. Makes a lot of sense,” he stutters.
“She wanted to fight me on it. Can you believe that? She wanted to stay with me and not go off to learn some shit.”
I shake my head. I don’t know why I’m telling this little fucker any of this, but it feels good to get it off of my chest.
“She’s a stubborn girl,” I mumble. “Anyway we’re havin’ her a big ass celebration party today and you fuckers almost ruined that. Shark bait should be the least of what I do to you, but seein’ as how my baby girl is waitin’ on me back at the clubhouse, we have to make this quick. You don’t mind do you?”
I like fucking with his head. I like the look in his eyes. It’s like we’ve magically become friends. Except he forgot one tiny problem. I only tell my people my business.
“Please. We’ll just leave,” he tries again.
I shake my head and drag him onto the plastic we have unrolled on the floor to catch the blood and dead body. See? I can be a helpful motherfucker too.
“Can’t do that. You helped him take my girl. You helped him plan that shit out and that’s just somethin’ I’m not very forgivin’ of. I don’t think Fin is either. Are ya Fin?” I ask as I glance over to see him draggin’ one of the others over
