“No shit,” Sam snapped back at her father.
Furiously, she hit Beth again with the gun in her hand and Beth fell, barely managing to catch herself by grasping the end of the table. When her hand cupped her cheek, Shade saw blood on it, and so did Razer. Cash and Shade had to hold him back from storming inside the house. They needed to know what Bedford wanted from Beth. If they stopped it too soon and he was arrested, he would lawyer up. Then they might never have the answers they needed.
“Now, where are the fucking papers? This is the last time I am going to ask before I leave. If I search your room and someone comes in, I will shoot. Do you want to be responsible for someone being hurt?” Sam screamed at a dazed Beth.
A rough hand in Beth’s hair jerked her toward Vincent Bedford. “Tell me where you put the papers. I will put a bullet through your brain if you don’t.” Bedford placed the barrel of the gun he was holding against her temple.
“I put them in a brown shoe box in the closet.” Shade had to admire her bravery when she lied again.
Bedford slammed the gun into her head, and that was when Viper used his booted foot to kick in the door as Bedford threw Beth to the kitchen floor.
Shade saw his father coming around the corner of the house as Viper, Razer, and Cash went inside.
“Back off; let them handle it.” Shade placed a hand on his father, preventing him from interfering with what was happening.
His father nodded, and then both of them turned to watch the fight taking place.
While Cash restrained Samantha, who fought like a wildcat trying to get away from him, Viper pulled two knives, one in each hand, and started cutting Bedford to shreds. The older man was covered in blood and trying to defend himself against a man whose skill with those knives was unmatched.
When he turned to flee, Viper kicked him in the back, forcing him to fall forward onto the floor. The man attempted to crawl away from the revenge-driven biker, but Viper stepped on his hand, stopping his forward momentum.
Razer was bent over Beth as she attempted to stop Viper.
“Loker, stop.”
Viper ignored her, bringing his boot back, about to plant it in the screaming Bedford’s face.
“Please, Loker, stop. I have all the proof you need to convict him back at the clubhouse.”
That time, Viper stopped and looked at her.
“Cover him,” Razer said to Shade.
Shade lifted his gun, pointing it at Bedford’s face, wanting to pull the trigger as Razer tried to comfort Beth.
“How did you find me?”
“Loker was watching Bedford, and when he saw Sam come in with you, he called us.”
It was up to Viper when he would drop his alternate identity. Until then, they would keep his secret.
“I had to. He threatened to kill my baby. He gave me no choice.” Sam hung pitifully in Cash’s arms, all the fight drained out of her. “He paid someone to take my baby. I don’t even know if it was a boy or girl. He took the baby while I was unconscious after the delivery. He won’t tell me where my child is or even with whom.” The whole room went quiet, listening to Sam’s heart-rending cries. “It was Gavin’s child.”
“You lying bitch!” Viper yelled. He went to Sam, his hands circling her throat. “Lie again, and I’ll kill you.”
“I’m not lying. I swear.”
The sound of the sirens came from outside.
“Loker, let me deal with her. The deputies are here, and I’ll find out the truth.”
Viper thrust Sam away from him and into the sheriff’s custody.
“You better, or I swear I will tear this mother-fucking town apart until I find the answers I want.”
Chapter 9
Shade listened to Razer tell Beth it was over in less than gentle terms while he strummed his fingers on the bank statements Razer had found in his nightstand.
When Sam had told them what Bedford was searching for, she had cut herself a sweet deal for the information, leaving her father to fend for himself.
Razer walked into the room with Bliss in his arms, dropping her onto the bed.
“That seemed unnecessarily harsh. Did you really have to humiliate Beth in front of the whole club?” Shade set aside the documents.
Razer shut the bedroom door. “I had to make it seem like I was finished with her until we find out who Bedford’s accomplice is. Your dad get any more information out of Sam?”
Shade shook his head. “He said he would call.”
He swiveled his chair and saw Bliss strumming her fingers over her clit to ease the fire Razer had started.
“You going to take care of that?” Shade nodded toward Bliss.
“No,” Razer said sharply before opening the bedroom door and leaving.
“You like having Razer’s fingers on your pussy?”
Bliss moaned, “Yes.”
“Spread your thighs wider. If you’re going to play with yourself, do it right.”
Bliss followed his commands, showing Shade a view of her glistening pussy.
