Silver Saints MC Volume 1 - Fiona Davenport Page 0,18

her eyes back to mine before speaking. “I—um—also got some stuff…you know, just for you.” Then she gestured to a pink striped bag hiding behind the one I’d seen next to her.

I jumped to my feet and tossed her over my shoulder, then scooped up the bags and raced for the clubhouse, Bridget giggling all the way.

Just as I entered, I almost ran into Dax. “Gotta talk, Prez.”

“Later,” I barked as I tried to move around him.

He grabbed my arm, and I spun around with a murderous scowl.

“Hospital called. Logan’s awake.”

“Thank fuck,” Mac sighed as he set me on my feet before swatting me on my ass, hard enough that I felt it but not so much that it hurt. “Gimme a second, baby.”

“Okay, I’ll take these”—I grabbed the bags out of his hand, shuffling the one with the lingerie I’d purchased to the back as I blushed—“and meet you up in your room.”

“Ours, Bridget,” Mac corrected.

The guy who stopped us looked as confused as I felt.

“Huh?” I asked.

He lifted a hand and traced along my collarbone and down my chest where his cut rested. “You’re wearing my mark, sleeping in my bed. I’ve claimed you, baby. That makes my room our room.”

“Oh! Right. Yeah,” I mumbled, trying to keep my cool when all I wanted to do was jump for joy.

“Fucking adorable.” I peeked up to find him smiling down at me with a knowing grin. “Take your shit up to our room while I talk to Dax.”

I did as he asked, dumping my shopping bags on the bed before heading into the bathroom to freshen up. My outing to the mall with Cat brought a whole new meaning to the phrase “shop ‘til you drop.” I’d been surprised by how well the VP’s old lady knew her way around all the best stores. And then surprise turned to shock when she’d dragged me into Victoria’s Secret to help me pick out sexy stuff that was “guaranteed to bring Mac to his knees,” as she’d put it.

I’d been a little uncomfortable at first, but she’d been so darn excited to help me that I’d gone with it anyway. And once I’d pictured Mac’s reaction to me in the scraps of black lace that she’d shoved into my hands before pushing me into a changing room, I’d become eager to try on all sorts of things I’d never have considered before. When we’d left the store, I couldn’t wait to get back to the Silver Saints compound so I could show Mac everything I’d bought. Unfortunately, when I walked out of the bathroom and saw the stony look on his face, I knew I was going to have to wait before I’d have the chance to model it all for him.

“Shit, baby,” he groaned, pulling me into his strong arms. “If this wasn’t so damn important, I’d fuck that look of disappointment right off your face. But we’ve been waiting to be able to talk to one of my guys who’s in the hospital, and one of the prospects called to let me know that Logan’s finally awake. I’ve gotta head to the hospital, and it can’t wait.”

I thought back to what I’d overheard when Mac called my dad the day he’d taken me. “The one in the coma?”

“Yup.”

“Because of something someone in the Hounds of Hellfire did?” I whispered.

“One of those motherfuckers beat the shit out of my Road Captain with a baseball bat because he didn’t like it when Logan stepped in when he was roughing up a woman.”

“No,” I gasped in shock. I knew the guys in my dad’s club weren’t model citizens, but I couldn’t picture one of them doing that. Going after another guy with a baseball bat in a fit of rage? Maybe. Knocking a woman around? No way. “Are you sure that’s what happened? My dad would never put up with one of his guys hitting a woman.”

“I’ve got zero doubt about it, Bridget. Neither does your dad. He knows which of his men put Logan in the hospital, and he hasn’t done jack shit to make it right.”

“No.” I shook my head, refusing to believe that was true. “My dad wouldn’t do that.”

“I’m sorry, baby, but he did. I talked to him myself this morning.”

Ducking my head as my eyes filled with tears, Mac pulled me into his arms. Although I didn’t know any details because it was club business, I was aware that my dad did things that weren’t legal. I
