Ryder: A Wings of Diablo MC Novel by Rae Lake (drm ebook reader .TXT) 📕

he is pledging at a fucking fraternity. According to him, the pants are ok but these slippers you got,” I picked it up to show her the offensive piece of footwear, “these have got to go. LJ said so.”

She laughed as she sauntered her way towards us, even when she wasn’t trying the sex appeal just poured off this woman. She handed me the bottle and I positioned LJ in my arms so I could feed him. It all seemed so normal. It seemed so perfect.

“You feeling any better?” She asked as she combed her fingers through my hair.

“Yeah, always when I am with this little guy.” LJ laid silent as he gulped down the formula that his mother made for him.

Cherry looked up at the clock, “Ugh. I have to get ready for work soon.”

That moment of peace we just shared completely shattered. I handed LJ back to her and tried to go to sleep. Anger was bubbling in my gut and I didn’t understand why.

“Ryder, what happened?” Cherry situated LJ and tried to get me to turn over and talk to her.

“Cherry, just go.”

“But what happened? We were having a good time.”

“Yeah, everyone has a good time with you,” I said under my breath.

“What?” She asked this time pulling me harder so that I could look at her.

I wanted to tell her that she was annoying, or that she was taking up too much of my space, I wanted to be angry at her for any other reason than what I knew I was angry about.

“You heard me, go run along and entertain your clients.” I let entertain drag from my mouth.

“What the hell? Ryder, I don’t understand. Why is this all of a sudden a problem?” She placed her free hand on her hip, her eyebrows furrowed in and a small pout on her face. “I don’t do well with riddles, just tell me what’s going on.”

“I don’t want you to go, I hate that you fucking work at that place, I hate that you do what you do for fucking money. I hate it!” I yelled at her, causing little LJ to wake up from the early stages of his nap. He fussed a bit and Cherry shushed him and rocked him a bit until his eyes began to droop again.

I lowered my voice and spoke to her, “I don’t know why, this shit is eating at me so bad Cherry, but it is. Every time I see one of the grimy fucks eye fuck you while you’re on stage I want to snap their fucking neck. I hate this shit.”

She stood there in silence for a while, “Ryder, you set these rules!” She hissed at me.

“What fucking rules did I set, I never said you had to strip!”

“No, not that. The rules about you and me.” She placed the sleeping baby on the end of my bed. “You told me that our relationship would go no further than the doors of this room. You were the one who told me that that being with you wasn’t and would never be an option.”

“And it’s not Cherry. I may not be able to ride like I used to but maybe one day I will. Who knows? I won’t give up my club for anyone, no woman comes between me and my brothers.”

“Yeah, that’s what you told me the first time and I took you at your word, but now you’re here telling me you’re jealous!” She threw her hands up in exasperation.

“What the fuck? Who said anything about me being jealous? I ain’t jealous woman.”

“No? Then what do you call it Ryder?”

She was starting to irk my nerves, “Protection, I am just trying to look out for you. You constantly sell yourself fucking short and you deserve better.” I shouldn’t have to force someone to see that they are worth more than what some man is willing to pay.

“Yup, you said that too, but let me ask you a question and be fucking honest with yourself.”

“I am always honest with myself. What the fuck do I have to lie for?”

“Can I go fuck Ripper right now?”

“Yup,” I answered instantaneously.

“Yeah,” she came closer to me and put her mouth close to my ear, whispering the rest of her questions, “you are completely fine with him pulling my pink thong down, and shoving his hard cock into my pussy? You good with me creaming all over him? Him pulling my hair while I call him daddy?”

I grabbed her roughly by the shoulders and pushed her away from me, “Go do what the fuck you want Charity. The miles you put on that cunt got nothing to do with me.”

She backed up but a small smile played on her mouth.

I laid back gently, trying to make sure I didn’t wake the baby. I tried to put what she said out of my mind but the green-eyed monster in me was growling loud. I tried to calm myself down, but a loud ‘NO’ screamed in my head. Just the image of Ripper fucking touching her was putting my anger into hyperdrive. She was right, I was fucking jealous.

Fucking great.

“Whatever you say, Ryder. Let me know when you’re ready to be a man about this.” She went and gathered LJ off the bed and picked up the few things she had on the table.

“Cherry, listen-”

The door to the clubhouse burst open with a deafening boom and screams filled the air outside.

“Cherry, my chair!” I screamed at her, she quickly pushed it over to me and I pulled myself down quickly. I rushed over to the door but before I could open it, I could hear what was going on.

“FBI! FBI! Freeze!”

My door opened and two men in full tactical gear with the letters FBI brazenly painted on their bulletproof vests shoved guns in mine and Cherry’s face.

“Get the fuck out! Let’s go, now! Now! Now!” They screamed down at me.

“Alright, we’re moving,” I said rolling out.

The clubhouse was in utter chaos. Shit
