Winter wisely didn’t answer his question. “Bliss and Rider didn’t do anything wrong; I was the one eavesdropping.”
Viper ignored her defense of the members. “So, who did you call to come get you this time?”
“The sheriff.”
Viper motioned to Shade, who immediately stood, pulling his phone out of his pocket before going inside the kitchen to call his dad.
He answered on the second ring. “What do you want?”
Shade gritted his teeth, knowing his father was still angry he hadn’t showed for Christmas. “Where are you?”
“Headed toward the clubhouse. Isn’t that why you called?” he mocked.
Shade knew his dad was getting tired of only getting called when it involved The Last Rider’s business. “As a matter of fact, yes. Don’t bother. Winter was angry at Viper. She’s over it now.”
“You think I’ll take your word for it without checking for myself? I’ll be there in five.”
Shade had ten minutes. It would take his dad another five to make it up the long flight of steps at the front of the clubhouse.
He put his cell phone back in his pocket as he went outside again, easily finding Viper stalking Winter toward the gazebo.
He stealthily moved to the other side of it so Viper could see him, motioning for Viper to take her upstairs. Viper shook his head, though.
Shade leaned against the tree as the yard darkened, letting the shadows hide him as he listened to Viper and Winter’s argument.
“I could have fucked you silly as Loker James, but I wanted you to know who I really was before I put my dick in you. I won’t always be so nice. I am not a nice person. Never was, don’t want to be. Nice people get fucked over. My brother was an example of that.”
Winter started to interrupt, but Viper talked over her. “You’re a nice person. I fucked you over, but deal with it because I am done trying to make amends. I never led you to believe there was more to us than there actually was, and until you come to grips with that, you are going to stay pissed at me. But I can deal with pissed; actually, it makes me want to fuck.”
His hand went to her chest, pulling down her sweater and bra, leaving her breasts bare. When Winter looked around to see if anyone was watching and ended up dropping her cane as she tugged her shirt back up, Shade backed farther into the shadows. Viper’s back blocked her from everyone’s view except his.
Viper brought her hands upward, knotting soft cords around her wrists that Shade had nailed there himself. He used the gazebo often when Beth was around. Razer would keep her in the club room while he partied outside or in his bedroom.
“You guys are prepared for everything.” Winter struggled against the restraints.
Viper laughed. “We try.” Viper lowered his head, capturing her mouth in a kiss that made her quit struggling briefly before tearing her mouth away from him. Ignoring her obvious protests, he tugged her top back down and took her nipple in his mouth,
Shade saw the flash of Viper’s teeth as he teased her flesh while Viper’s other hand once again uncovered her breasts completely, squeezing one from bottom to top. Winter’s head fell back against the gazebo.
“Do you know how many times I imagined you like this? With your breasts just waiting for my mouth, your nipples for me to suck them until you scream for mercy? I fucked every woman here the last two years pretending it was your pussy I was inside.”
“You fucking liar. I bet you didn’t think of me that night with Bliss once. There were four daisies. Does that mean she fucked four members that night?”
“Yes; Cash, Evie, and me. We fucked all night long.” Viper unbuckled her jeans, spreading them open before sliding his hand inside. Winter kicked out at him but he stepped between her legs, making her attempt useless.
“Careful, I don’t want you to hurt your back. More importantly, I don’t want you hurting something of mine I plan to be using in a few minutes.”
“You go to Hell. If you think tying me up—”
“You don’t like it? That’s all you had to say.” With a twist of his hand, the cord around her wrist was loosened before giving away. “We don’t need safe words—a simple no will do—but your wet pussy is telling me no isn’t on your mind.”
When Shade saw his father come outside with Evie, he moved sideways noiselessly until he could leave the trees without the couple seeing him.
“I want to see Winter,” the sheriff demanded.
Beth stood up from the picnic table, throwing Razer an angry glare.
“I don’t think they want to be interrupted,” Shade told him as he approached.
“Now, Shade.”
Shade shrugged, leading the sheriff to within a few feet of the gazebo.
Beth, who was following along despite Razer trying to stop her, came to an abrupt stop herself, giving a low gasp.
Viper’s head was lowered over Winter’s breasts, and his hand was moving underneath her jeans as she arched against him.
