"Come on, Vic, you know she ain't going to open the door. Let's go downstairs. The party is about to start."
The woman kicked the door again, clearly upset that I didn't do what she wanted me to do. I had never been a violent person before this place, but I would do what I had to do to protect myself.
I waited patiently for Shepard to come home, I almost jumped for joy when I finally heard his bike pulling up.
Shepard's POV
I took the long way back, making extra sure that Kat didn't see me behind him. I didn't want to let on that I was spying on what he was doing in his downtime. By the time I got home, there was a party already in full swing.
"What the fuck is this?" I parked up and walked past all the skanks and strippers, making their way around the room.
I saw Tex by the bar, Rooster's arm over his shoulder. "Lucky, what's up? Tex back in business?"
"Yup, the Blue Bunny is back in production, and we already have three new buyers. Everyone wants a piece of this shit."
I nodded, making money always put Rooster in a good mood. That and killing.
I knew I should tell him what I saw with Kat, but I didn't want to accuse him if I couldn't prove it. I would, though, it was only a matter of time.
"Hey, baby. You gonna bless me with that dick today?" Victoria strolled up to me, her pupils large, and her eyelids low from whatever drug she decided to do today. She rubbed on me through my pants. My cock barely flinched.
"Victoria, you have all the bikers you want in here, why are you coming to me?"
"I want you. Fuck, you know how good it is when we’re together."
I was about to tell her that she was out of her mind when another hand reached down towards my pants and snatched her off of me.
"That’s mine. It's time you get used to that." Gianna had come out of her room.
I looked toward Victoria, interested to see what she would do. I’d already let all the other brothers know that Gianna was mine, claimed.
"Bitch, you wasn't talking all that shit when I was trying to get you a few hours ago, no you hid in your room like a scared puppy."
"Never scared, honey, just obedient. If it weren't for Shep telling me to stay put, I would have opened the door. Don't make the mistake of underestimating me; I promise you won't like the outcome."
My eyebrows raised to my hairline, who the fuck was this woman, and what happened to the good girl I had taken.
"Bitch!" Victoria took a step toward Gianna as if to strike her, but Gianna didn't even flinch. She stood there, ready for whatever Victoria was going to do.
"Try me."
"Hey there, ladies, why all the anger? Is it because there are no dicks in your mouth? Victoria, I am more than happy to help you with that problem." Tex smiled brightly, the man I knew shining through.
"Yeah, go play with Tex Victoria. There is nothing for you here." Gianna spoke up again.
I had no intention of actually letting them fight, but the fact that she was outwardly laying a claim on me was hot as fuck. She had the best pussy in the place anyway, and I wasn't a dumb ass. If the best wanted me just for herself, I would stay put.
I snapped my fingers and shooed Victoria away as I turned to look at Gianna. "You trying to lock me down, Gianna?"
"I already have, don't let me find you having sex with anyone, I want to respect you and your brothers, but I won't tolerate being made to look like a fool."
This was it. The let's be exclusive chat. I had run from this conversation all of my life, but with Gianna, it was almost as normal as breathing. I could do that as long as she didn't ask me for any chocolates and flowers, I could promise to fuck just her.
"Fuck it. I'm in." I pulled her close to me and let my finger trail down to the hem of her dress.
What is she wearing?
"What the fuck is this?"
I pushed her back to get a good look at exactly what she had on. It was one of my black t-shirts with what looked like the sleeves cut off and the sides tied in knots.
"I don't have any clothes here Shep, and I am pretty sure you don't want me to walk around naked, I had to use your stuff."
I had promised her that I was going to take her shopping when I got back, I’d taken her like she was a prisoner, but now that she was inserting herself further and further into my life I would need to treat her like she was a guest. "Come on, let's get you some clothes."
Chapter 15
Gianna’s POV
Shepard bought me at least three thousand dollars worth of clothes, everything that I asked for he bought. I’d always worked so hard to get what I needed that it felt strange to have someone up and give it to me.
Anytime I picked something up and thought it was too expensive, he would buy it just to prove a point. He wasn't hurting for cash, but it wasn't something that he was going around flaunting to everyone. No one in this club did.
When we made it back to the compound, everything looked quiet outside, but I knew that inside the party would still be going on. I dragged what I could out of Shepard's car while he carried the majority of the items through the abandoned warehouse and to the elevators I knew would take me back to where I would call home for the time being.
The music was deafening even before the elevator made it all the way downstairs. When the doors did open, I almost wanted to cover my ears to buffer the violent sound.
"Go upstairs and change out of that fucking shirt, if you gonna be with me you gotta look the part." Shepard smacked me hard on the ass as he shouted in my ear.
I smirked and rushed up to the room. I had bought specific outfits that I thought he would like. There was a dark blue satin romper that was sexy enough for alone time with him and me but still badass enough to wear to one of these parties. I thought he would appreciate that for sure.
I showered and changed into the outfit, the fabric clinging tightly to every one of my curves. I lined my eyes makeup and made sure to add a bit of color to my lips. I let my long hair fall messily down my back. The whole outfit screamed, fuck me. It was just what I was going for.
I fastened my heels and made my way down the stairs scanning the crowd looking for Shepard. I saw him in the corner talking with two other brothers, Hatchet and Lucky. I knew he was going to go wild when he saw me, but something strange caught my eye on the other side of the room.
Tex.
He was walking back and forth, not talking to anyone, but he looked like he was in a panic. I didn't know what was going on, but I knew that I didn't want him to fall off the deep end and go missing again. Instead of walking over to Shepard, I walked over to Tex. There were at least a dozen people around him, including Kat, but no one was even bothering to find out if he was ok.
I walked up slowly, just in case.
"Tex!" I screamed over the loud music, "You good?"
He looked up at me, and I watched his Adam’s apple bob up and down hard, he said something, but I couldn't make out what it was over the music. He ran his fingers through his hair and continued to look around.
"Tex! What's the matter?"
He didn't look at me again, he tried to walk off, but I caught his arm. I pulled him in one of the back rooms and tried to get him to talk to me.
