Part 20 (1/2)

”EVA!” Hurricane Kami came bursting through the front doors. Kami shoved him out of her way, grabbed Eva by her upper arms, and started screaming.

”You f.u.c.king idiot! Why didn't you tell me what he was doing? For G.o.ds sake Eva you didn't have to f.u.c.k him! Do you know how much dirt I have on that s.k.a.n.ky a.s.shole? Tons Eva, TONS! I would have broken him down in time!”

”Frankie didn't have time!” Eva screamed back. ”Chase wouldn't meet with me until Frankie got put in solitary!”

Deuce saw red. The a.s.shole hadn't just played on her love for Frankie he'd outright cornered her with her love for Frankie.

Preacher's eyes darted back and forth between Kami and his daughter. ”Eva, what the f.u.c.k did Kami just say?”

They both ignored him.

”Oh Evie,” Kami cried. ”I'm going to kill him! You are too good and too sweet and a man like Chase didn't deserve a taste of that kind of beautiful!”

If she kept saying s.h.i.+t like that about his woman maybe he could learn to like Kami.

”How did you find out?” Eva whispered.

Kami let out a frustrated breath. ”He came home like twenty minutes ago informing me that our marriage was over.” She snorted. ”Can you believe him? I was like, ”What marriage?” and started laughing at him. He got p.i.s.sed, told me about you, told me you guys were together, told me you were having his baby, but left Frankie out of it. Only I knew, I JUST KNEW, you would never touch him without a good reason! And I knew that reason was FRANKIE! Avoiding me for months, the clothes Evie, the makeup, the Jimmy f.u.c.king Choo's...I am not stupid!”

”I'm gonna ask one more time, Eva,” Preacher growled. ”What the f.u.c.k is Kami talking about?”

He stared at Eva.

She was pregnant.

His woman was pregnant. And it wasn't his.

All eyes were on Eva but she only had eyes for him and d.a.m.n her f.u.c.king eyes but he couldn't look away. He couldn't even blink.

”I'm sorry,” She whispered.

He blinked.

”Kami?” c.o.x said quietly, his voice unusually low. His head swiveled to his RC.

Kami, noticing c.o.x for the first time, shrieked and scrambled backwards. That's when he saw the little boy she was shoving behind her. Eva jumped beside her and they created a wall.

”Wait,” Kami whispered holding her palms up. ”You don't understand.”

Confused, he looked at c.o.x's furious expression then back at the little boy, scared out of his mind, peeking out between Kami and Eva's legs.

Understanding dawned. Little s.h.i.+t looked just the bigger s.h.i.+t.

”f.u.c.k,” He muttered. This was going to get ugly. There were two things in the world c.o.x truly cared about. The club. And his daughter. If he had known he had a son, the kid would have been on that list, too.

”What don't I understand?” c.o.x hissed. ”I don't understand that there's a f.u.c.kin' kid standing behind you 'bout four f.u.c.kin' years old who looks just like me? I don't understand that I f.u.c.ked his mother thirty ways from f.u.c.kin' Sunday the last time I f.u.c.kin' saw her, which was when, b.i.t.c.h? Five f.u.c.kin' years ago? Is that what I don't understand?”

Preacher stepped in front of Kami. ”You're talkin' s.h.i.+t 'bout the boy's mother right in front of him which is bad enough. But that mother is family and so is the boy and talkin' s.h.i.+t to my family does not happen in my f.u.c.kin' club.”

”f.u.c.k off Demon,” c.o.x spat. ”In case you haven't noticed that's my f.u.c.kin' kid!”

”Yeah a.s.shole, I f.u.c.kin' noticed. Hard not to when he looks just like ya.”

”Would everyone shut the f.u.c.k up?” Kami screamed. ”He doesn't know about you! All you're doing is scaring the c.r.a.p out of him!”

Preacher shoved between Kami and Eva and scooped up the little boy.

”Once I got Devin upstairs and out of f.u.c.kin' earshot from you lot of a.s.sholes you can resume f.u.c.kin' screamin' at one another.” He looked at Eva. ”Me and you baby girl are gonna be havin' words. If what I think happened actually happened I'm gonna get real trigger twitchy.”

n.o.body said a word until Preacher disappeared into the stairwell. Once he was gone, c.o.x exploded.

”This is so f.u.c.ked b.i.t.c.h! Hide a man's kid from him! Really f.u.c.kin' f.u.c.ked!”

”You crazy f.u.c.k!” Kami screamed. ”You live in Montana, you're f.u.c.king married, you already have a kid! I live in New York, I'm f.u.c.king married! What the f.u.c.k was I supposed to do?”

”What you were s'posed to do, b.i.t.c.h, was tell me you f.u.c.kin' s.h.i.+t out my kid!”

”You're disgusting!” Kami hissed. ”A f.u.c.king dirty, disgusting, biker wh.o.r.e!”

c.o.x's eyes bugged out of his head. ”b.i.t.c.h, you think I'm f.u.c.kin' disgusting? Were you or were you not the same f.u.c.kin' wh.o.r.e who was ridin' my c.o.c.k bareback, shovin' your f.u.c.kin' t.i.ts in my mouth begging me to bite harder while Ripper drilled into your f.u.c.kin' a.s.s?”

Eva went screaming crazy and lunged. Cursing, he tried to grab her but the crazy b.i.t.c.h faked right and then went left, managing to cold clock c.o.x in the jaw just before he caught her and hauled her backwards.

”You're f.u.c.kin' dead b.i.t.c.h!” c.o.x shouted.

He snapped. Shoving Eva off to the side, he spun around, grabbed c.o.x by his s.h.i.+rt and slammed him into a wall. ”b.i.t.c.h is pregnant and you're gonna threaten her? You're gonna f.u.c.kin' threaten my f.u.c.kin' pregnant woman?”

”Oh Evie,” Kami wailed, forgetting entirely about a very homicidal c.o.x. She threw her arms around Eva and together they sank down to the floor in a tangle of brown and blonde hair.

He released c.o.x and slumped back against the wall. He hadn't slept in over twenty four hours and there was too much crazy going on around him to deal with on no sleep.

”Settled this s.h.i.+t in my head already,” c.o.x hissed. ”I'm takin' my kid home.”

”You're not taking my son away from me!” Kami cried.

c.o.x glared at her. ”Then you best pack your s.h.i.+t and find a f.u.c.kin' place to live in Montana.”

Kami scrambled to her feet. ”Montana!” She shrieked. ”Devin is not going to Montana!”

Deuce wasn't quick enough to grab c.o.x before he got up Kami's face. ”b.i.t.c.h,” He hissed, ”I want to know my f.u.c.kin' kid. You already stole four f.u.c.kin' years from me. You're not stealin' anymore.”

Kami's lower lip trembled. ”You don't understand,” She whispered. ”Until Devin, my entire life was spent doing what I was told and then finding ways to fill up the empty s.p.a.ce in between. The drugs and drinking and the s.e.x, all of it, was me not knowing what to do with myself, not knowing where I belonged. The moment Devin was placed in my arms everything clicked into place and suddenly I knew exactly what I was meant to do, where I belonged. I couldn't let you take him from me.”

Her voice grew shrill. ”I couldn't let you take the only person in the world besides Evie that has ever meant anything to me!”

Eva burst into a fresh set of tears. Sighing, convinced he was the only sane person left in the world, he pulled her to him and started rubbing her back.

c.o.x turned away from Kami. ”s.h.i.+t,” He muttered. ”s.h.i.+t. s.h.i.+t. f.u.c.kin' s.h.i.+t.”
