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

did all I wanted to do was to hold her and take the pain away.

“Charity? What the hell happened?”

It looked like she had been in a brawl, her face was all bruised up, she was favoring her side and her waist length beautiful hair was gone. It was cut up to around her shoulders, some pieces longer than others.

“Ryder, what are you doing here? You shouldn’t be here.”

“What, why the fuck not?” I leaned as far over the table as I could without drawing the attention of any of the guards.

“Ryder, they don’t like the Wings in here, they don’t like me in here. I can’t fight anymore; they’ve come for me every night since they discovered I was with you guys. I can’t fight them.”

The Wings have always been the top club in the area but we had made a lot of enemies along the way. Now Cherry was locked in a place with a bunch of catty women whose men we had wronged. They were brutalizing her.

“Listen to me, we’re going to get you out of here.”

“You won’t, they won’t give me bail. I’m going to be here for a long time Ryder.” She let a tear fall down her face but looked away from me.

“No, Keeley is getting some of the best lawyers from her father and we’re getting you the fuck out of here. Devin says what you did was self-defense. We just need to get some proof.” I said trying to reassure her.

“Ryder, you and I both know that I’m not going to make it out of this place. I just wish LJ was home with his family.” She put her head in her hands and cried hard, “Oh I miss him, I miss him so much.”

“You will make it. You will. Don’t fucking talk like you’re just going to sit here and give up. You have to fight.”

“Ryder, please, just stop.” She shook her head and looked away.

“You were right.”

“Right about what?” She asked her curiosity poking through her despair.

“I was jealous, I’ve been jealous since before Larry.” I sighed and stared at the beautiful woman across from me.

“What? How can you say that? You always said that it was nothing more than what happened in the room.”

“That’s how it’s always been and when you and I first started fucking around that’s what it was but the more I had you, the more no one else compared. I don’t give two fucks about any of the other club bunnies, fuck I don’t give a fuck about any other women in general but I would do anything to make sure that you are happy and taken care of. It’s why when Larry looked like he was falling for you, I backed off. I knew he would provide for you once he got his head out of his ass.”

She looked from side to side, her mouth opening and closing a few times before she could actually say anything. “But what about when you came home from the hospital, all those cruel things you said to me.”

“I was trying to get you out of my system. I already knew that I didn’t fucking deserve you. Here I am almost eighteen years your senior, in a dangerous biker club and now I can’t fucking walk. I can’t provide for you, I can’t keep you happy not in the condition that I’m in. I also can’t leave my brothers, there’s so much shit that I can’t do, I was trying to forget about you.”

She laughed slightly, “You fucking idiot.”

“That’s wonderful, just what I wanted to hear after I poured my fucking heart out like a goddamn pussy.” I leaned back in my chair, embarrassed but I wouldn’t take back a word. I meant it all.

“Ryder, I loved you first, in all your asshole ways I loved you. Before I even looked in Larry’s direction, I was hooked on you. You told me it would never happen and I believed you.”

The chatter in the room suddenly died out and all I could fucking think about was the fact that she said she loved me.

“You love me?”

“Ryan, yes, of course, I love you. You think I sit through all the shit you put me through for someone I didn’t care about?”

I wanted to say it back, but for the life of me, I couldn’t. “That’s good if you love me like you say you do. You will fight.” I leaned back over the table trying to get her to see that she had to make it through.

“Ryan.”

“No, no excuses. You fight to come home, you fight for LJ, you fight to come back to me. I promise you we will get you out of here, just fucking stay alive.” I begged.

“You have to get my son Ryder. You have to, even if I do make it out of here, I can’t live without him. I won’t survive that.”

“He’ll be coming home.”

She nodded and got up, visitation was over.

“Oh, for the proof, the club has surveillance all around the perimeter.”

“We checked, the fucks must have come and erased all the tapes.”

“Yes, but I doubt they took it down from the cloud. I kept forgetting to save the footage so I linked all the cameras to a streaming service, it goes to the cloud drive for the clubhouse. Actually, Archer did it for me the last time he was here. He should be able to get you back in.”

“I’m on it, babe. I swear to you.”

She gave me a small smile and walked away. Her head held a little higher.

Chapter 15

The shit actually worked.

Archer found the links on the cloud that Cherry told me about and clear as day we all saw that the man rushed her after she told them to stop several times.

Keeley’s father sent over a team lawyers five deep and while the feds were still breathing down our necks for every fucking thing that we were doing they couldn’t hold Cherry for murder. They had
