They headed back downstairs to the party. The guys catcalled and whistled making Raine blush. Her and Jax walked over to the bar and sat down. "By the way, I fired Candy. So, we're short a stripper now." Raine explained. "Jeez, thanks!" Jax muttered. "I have an idea." Raine replied. "Dare I ask?" Jax asked. "There are quite a few women that come to the bar. I think most come to see the bikers. So why not have a male stripper or two?" Raine asked. "You're joking?" Jax asked in disbelief. "Nope. Think about it. You could use brothers or prospects. Or even hire male strippers. The women would pay good money, and it would probably drag in more business." She explained. I've been looking online at the male stripper organizations. There's a few of them, and there is a ton of revenue going into those businesses from what I could tell." Raine explained. "You've been checking out other naked males?" Jax growled. "Yes. Like you don't see other naked women on a daily basis? Are you rea
Jax threw her over his shoulder and walked to their bedroom where they stayed the rest of the night. It's Friday night weeks later, and the bar was crowded. Raine was behind the bar working with Carmen and MD. It's so busy the two couldn't keep up so Raine was pitching in to help. "Man, I've not seen it this busy before. I think we need to hire a third person." Carmen stated. "I hate to say it, but your idea of adding a male stripper was golden! Money in the bank. There are some crazy ass bitches out there! And man can they spend money." MD replied. Raine laughed. "You thinking about applying for a stripper gig?""Maybe." MD replied. "There are still a few brothers that have a problem with it." Raine replied "There will always be brothers with problems no matter what." Ice replied. A few hours later Raine's whole world shifted. Right when he walked into the bar. A man wearing a suit looked around after he entered. He's fairly good looking with a cocky air about him. You know
Afterwards, mom had to work two jobs. I tried to help out best I could. I bought everything I could used. Hell, even my bras and panties came from second hand thrift stores or goodwill.” She explained.I just wanted to not be a big burden money wise to mom. Her jobs were crappy and paid crappy. Kim and Sam even gave me their clothes they didn't want. Hell, half the stuff they gave me they bought brand new to give me." Raine paused to see how the guys are taking in what she's said. "I can imagine the kids at school. We're they mean to you?" Jax asked. Raine smiled. "At first they were. But I shut that shit down really quick. I loved my parents and they did their best. I was not letting anyone make me feel bad because of how we lived.” Her voice got rough.“I broke the main bitch’s nose when she started her shit and the rumors. Kim and Sam backed me. After that everyone knew that they had the trio to deal with if they started anything.” She shrugged.“Afterwards if they said anything,
"You are not going anywhere! I will kill that fucker before I allow that to happen." Jax fumed. "You take online classes? What about those?" Ice asked. "How would he know about them? Besides the address they have is still my old home address. I never changed it when I moved. I have no social media accounts. Nothing electronic. The only bills I have are my classes, I buy a prepaid card with cash and pay them online." Raine explained. "Ice, get I.T. on it. Fully history on this asshole." Jax ordered.“You got it brother." Ice agreed. "Baby, don't worry. You belong with me, and I will protect you with everything I have. I too have resources. So, don't worry your pretty little head about it." Jax soothed her. "Jax, he knows some really questionable people. People you don't want to mess with. He'd be dirty enough to plant drugs or evidence here, the clubhouse, or any MC property to get you guys in trouble. God, I am so sick to my stomach over this." Raine cried. "Listen baby, don't w
"Funding comes out of my account. This is my old lady's problem, and it doesn't have anything to do with the club. I never buy anything anyway, so my money is just sitting there not being used. I.T. I'll let you handle that." Jax explained. I.T. came up with dirt on the doctor. He's a big gambler and doesn't do very well. He's also sleeping with one of his nurses. His wife doesn't know and would leave him and take everything. Especially since he married her for her money. The guys talk with the grandfather. To be 76 he's still mentally stable and agreed to help them take down his grandson. He still had a few connections too. Club meeting a few weeks later. "What we have is purely circumstantial. We need either solid proof or a confession." Jax explained. "I just don't think he's stupid enough for that brother." Ice replied. "I did manage to find the vehicle that ran her mom off the road. I checked the service station videos before and after the wreck. There was a black F150 there
"He said I belong to him. He owns me. So, he wants his property to have control of it. That video I had ain't worth shit now. Marty never cared about the politics. Since he now owns his father's estate, that's all he wanted.” She replied.“He doesn't work, so no career to tarnish like his dad and grandfather. So, showing that video wouldn't even get him a slap on the wrist, in fact he'd probably be proud of it now. Especially since I know he has the police on his payroll now." Raine explained. "Do you think you could talk him into a confession?" I.T. asked. "I don't know. I'm not sure I'd know what to say. And if I'd make him suspicious of me?" Raine asked. "We need to think, if you want to try? I voted no, but we are stuck right now on ideas." Jax replied. "Ok, I'll think on it." Raine replied. Later in bed, Jax and Raine were discussing ways she could get Marty to confess should she decide to go through with it. "I know I need to do this, it's our best and maybe only shot. I
"And it seems his doctor had a change of heart. Once Junior is out of the way, he'll release Senior with a clean bill of health." Jax replied. "Good. He was always kind to me. He told Marty he wasn't good enough for a girl like me. Marty hated it of course. I never knew why the man was always so hard on him. I guess he knew his true colors and Marty probably deserved his treatment." Raine replied. "You know you have to allow yourself to be taken, but not obvious about it. Just do like you would in the past. Use his cockiness against him. Hopefully, his arrogance will be his downfall." Jax explained. "I know, I'll do my best. I guess we'll see what kind of actress I am." Raine replied. "Just don't push his buttons too much. And as soon as you're at his house or in his jet, lock yourself in the bathroom. Then say the code word." Jax explained. "Ah yeah about that. Pick another code word." Raine commanded. "What's wrong with the one I chose?" Jax asked. "I'll laugh myself to death
I.T. tracked Raine. He told the brothers that they are headed towards the Vanderbilt estate. Meanwhile in Marty's car. "You know the club will come after me." Raine cautioned. "I know, I have it all planned out." Marty smirked. That was what Raine was waiting on. An excuse to goad him into bragging about what he done. Anything to get him admitting to illegal activity to put him away for good."Yeah right! What do you know about plans?" Raine asked. "Honey, I am now king of our hometown. The cops and drug dealers are all on my payroll. I control them. And they are all ready to give your club a great big welcome party!" Marty laughed. "Yeah, well my guys will be ready for that I trust them and know they will help me." Raine replied. "Honey your trust is in the wrong people. You need to put your trust in me. I always get my way." Marty grinned. "I can't trust you. Not when I know you've been keeping secrets from me!" Raine retorted. "Just know that you can." Marty replied. "I ca
"Well I'm not exactly who you think I am." Pamela started. "I know who you are." Ace interjected. Pamela continued. "I've been hanging out with the Vet MC for research." "Because you're an author." Ace interrupted. "I had a new book idea, wait what? You know?" Pamela asked puzzled. "Jax told my dad the whole story. Besides, we had you investigated anyway. While we don't do illegal things, we still are very selective of who we allow around our club." Ace explained. "So you've known this whole time who I really was?" Pamela asked. "Of course." Ace replied. "And you still want me here? The club is ok with what I do?" She asked. "Yes, and yes. As long as you know you can never write about the real club life here or mention any of our members by name in any book." Ace warned. "I would never." Pamela reassured him. "Good. Now that is settled, I'm still waiting for an answer." Ace remarked. "I'd still have to go to the Vet MC to talk with the ladies. Raine, Kim, and Sam are telli
"Lexi here is my girlfriend." TJ replied."Yeah, and don't forget it skank!" Lexi warned."Honey please! TJ doesn't know the meaning of faithful. I just have to get him all horny and worked up and he'll be mine for the fucking." She laughed.Pamela knew Lexi was gonna lose it, so she stepped back. Lexi grabbed the skank by the back of her head and slammed her face into the bar. Blood splattered from her nose and mouth. The skank was crying and sputtering."You busted my nose!" She whined."You better get out of my sight before I cut a bitch!' Lexi warned.She opened her switch blade with a little fancy move that made it hiss. The skanks eyes widened before she ran off screaming."Keep that psycho away from me!" She wailed."If you can't run with the big dogs, stay home." Lexi laughed.Pamela and Ace joined in on the laughter. Lexi walked over to TJ and grabbed his nuts very firmly and not in a feel-good way. In a warning you're gonna lose them way."Your turn. You decide here and now.
Trish turned and ran out the door. A couple guys were waiting on her and grabbed her. Pamela walked out and BJ Jr. was standing there."What's going to happen to her?" She asked."A copy of the recording we just made will be given to the police department. My guys will deliver her and the recording. I'm sure she'll be charged with attempted murder over the accident." He explained."So, you're not going to take her outback and shoot her?" Pamela asked.BJ Jr. laughed hard. "Son, you got one with a vivid imagination here. Good luck with that!""I look forward to it." Ace smirked.It's been a week since Trish was arrested. Things have been quiet. Hanna had decided to talk to Maverick about marriage."So, you remember when I was upset after your sister's wedding?" Hanna asked."Yes." Maverick replied."The reason why, was because I was jealous of her." Hanna explained."Baby, what do you have to be jealous of?" Maverick asked."She got the whole package. The guy, marriage, and a baby on t
"Yeah you have two large windows in your bedroom." Maverick replied."You sleep nude or something?" TJ laughed."You wish Romeo! But no, it's just creepy that someone will be watching me while I sleep." Pamela retorted."I could come in and help you get to sleep." TJ suggested."That's a big no! I can manage just fine on my own lover boy." Pamela declined. Pamela went inside and locked the door. Trish's car was spotted driving by. It was her first mistake she made. A week had passed with nothing happening. Pamela and TJ were still keeping up the pretense of dating. Friday night they had a party at the Vet MC clubhouse. Jokers were invited. After a while, Pamela went to the bathroom to get away from TJ. He'd kept hanging all over her taking advantage of the situation and it was getting on her last nerve. She was starting to get pissed off so she took a break before she blew their cover. As she rounded the corner to the bathroom, someone came up behind her. They put one hand over her
"It's a good plan. I've just not been able to catch her at anything." BJ Jr replied."But dangerous for Pamela. We all know how crazy these bitches can be." Ice grumbled."I'm willing to risk it. Hanna has become a great friend. Before I came here, I really didn't have any friends. So, if I can do something to help her and protect her then I'm all in for it. That's what you do for friends and family." Pamela replied."Woman you're not family. You're just allowed to hang around like the club whores." Hawk retorted. "I don't think I pulled your dog chain nor did I ask for your two cents old man!" Pamela glared at him."That's enough Hawk. You want Lexi to go in and do this?" Jax demanded. Hawk looked down at the floor. "Didn't think so. So shut the fuck up.""Well, I'm game. I'll take one for the team." TJ laughed."Oh please! Like that's a hard job. Having a gorgeous girl pretend she's into you." Snake huffed."Heck pretending will be easy on my end of course, but hey hers too." TJ sm
"What happened? Could she have a friend?" Pamela asked."It's a long story that's best left in the past. I don't think she had anyone." Hanna replied."Oh." Pamela responded."So, who?" Jasmine asked."Sorry I'm drawing a blank. I can't remember having words with any women." Hanna replied."No one who's been hateful to you? Any guys you may have messed with that had jealous girlfriends? Or any girls in Maverick's past?" Pamela questioned."I can’t... umm wait there was one thing but it was minor. And I did not go after her boyfriend. But Maverick said something to him for flirting with me." Hanna replied. "Yeah, that girl was a raging skanky bitch!" Jasmine responded."Yeah, but it was for maybe 2 minutes and only happened once." Hanna responded."Any other women said anything to you?" Pamela asked."No." Hanna denied."I think we should tell my dad." Jasmine said."Let me get Mav." Hanna sighed. Pamela, Hanna, Jasmine, Maverick, and Maddox go to Jax's office. "Dad we have a theory
While she's sitting there, Hanna came up and sat beside her. "Hi, I'm Hanna.""I'm Pamela." She replied."You're new. Just passing through or visiting?" Hanna asked."Not sure yet." Pamela replied."Would you like to join me and my friends?" Hanna asked."Sure." Pamela responded. They went over to the table where Jasmine, Jessi, and Lexi were sitting."This is Pamela." Hanna announced. That's Jessi my cousin, Jasmine, and Lexi. Jazz and Lex are like family. Our moms have been best friends forever and we all grew up together.""Nice to meet y'all." Pamela replied. Brady walked over to their table. "Sis, ladies, who's your friend?""Her name is Pamela and you need to back off!" Hanna retorted."What? I just came over to be friendly." Brady laughed."Sure you did, Mr. Player himself." Hanna huffed."Ladies. Hey baby." Maddox replied as he bent down to kiss Jasmine."Pamela this is Jazz's boyfriend Maddox." Hanna explained.Maverick walked up behind Hanna. "Hey baby who's your friend?"
He stepped aside to let her in the office. He closed the door and sat back behind his desk. Raine sat down on his lap. "Sit. What's your name?" He asked."Pamela." She replied as she sat down."Pamela?" Raine asked."Just Pamela." She replied.Raine looked like she was thinking pretty hard. But doesn't say anything."Ok you've got my attention. Talk." Jax demanded."Before I tell you I need to know that it won't go any further than this room." Pamela explained."Sweetheart I can't promise shit till I know what you have to say." Jax replied."Ok." She sighed. "I guess I'll have to take my chances that you'll understand. I want a waitress job here for some research work I'm doing. And before you get all defensive it's not what you think.""I'm listening." Jax replied. "I'm not with the cops or government. I just recently graduated with my English lit degree to further my career of being an author. Or trying to. I've published several stories but got writer’s block. Then I decided to t
"If it's TJ behind this, all bets are off!" Maverick responded."There's things going on you don't know. I'll explain when I get there. You're just going to have to trust me that I'm doing everything in my power to take care of this. I can't have you going off halfcocked not knowing what's going on." Jax warned."No promises." Maverick replied."Find Hanna then we'll talk." Jax ordered. "Son that's an order.""Fine!" Maverick agreed. They finally found Hanna's car and she was taken to the hospital. Maverick lost his shit, but luckily Jax got to him before any damage was done."Son calm down!" Jax ordered. "If you don’t, I'll have the brothers take you to the clubhouse.""If I find out that fucker had anything to do with this, I'll end him!" Maverick warned.Hanna finally woke up but before the doctors let her family in, they had to run tests. Finally, they were done and let her mom, dads, and Maverick see her."Hey honey, how are you feeling?" Sam asked."Baby I was worried sick!" Ma
