"You want to come home with me?" Jagger asked, his lips next to her ear.They had been wrapped up in one another for a long time, she wasn't sure how long really."Sounds good to me." She stretched her arms up, encircling them around his neck, and pulled him down, kissing him softly on the lips."Do I need to follow you back to your apartment to get your clothes?"She shook her head. "Nah, I did laundry today so all my clothes are in my car."He squeezed her around the waist tightly, her feet coming off the floor briefly before setting her down again. "Good, I'll follow you to the clubhouse then.""I need to tip out and stuff. You can go before me," she offered, reaching down to pull her underwear back up around her waist."No." His eyes hardened. "Is that asshole here tonight?"Bianca didn't know who had tipped him off to Money Bags, but she really wished they hadn't. "He's not causing me that much of an issue, but he is here.""Any issue is enough for me to be worri
Jagger quietly let himself into his dorm, surprised to find Bianca still awake."What are you doin' still up?" he asked, shutting the door behind him.She sat in the chair facing his bed, a textbook in her lap. Grinning, she answered, "You forget that I'm a complete night owl. Usually I don't go to bed until 2 a.m. It's the nature of having the job I do.""When you actually get into a full-time teaching position, it's gonna be rough on you," he laughed, taking his cut and shirt off."Don't I know it? How'd your meeting go?""Good," he nodded, not elaborating on anything. It was best to just leave things open ended. Bianca watched as he continued taking his clothes off and then pulled the covers of the bed back. "Are we going to bed?" she asked, her eyebrow raised."I don't know about you, but I'm tired." She stood up and divested herself of her clothes too, leaving her naked. "Can I have a shirt?""You know where they are." He pointed to his dresser and watched as s
Plans were coming together for the Heaven Hill MC. Somehow they had to prove that Raymond Tucker and the Vojnik knew each other. After discussing it for hours, the decision was made to break into Raymond Tucker's home and see what they could find. Everyone agreed that if there was something that would prove the connection Raymond would be cocky enough to have it at his home. It was obvious the way he went about things that he thought he was untouchable."I'm tellin' you and Layne right now. Don't get caught." Liam pointed a finger at Jagger as he and Layne were getting their equipment together.Jagger's palms were sweaty. He wasn't the type of person to do a B&E. He would do it though, just like he explained to Bianca the night before. Bianca. What he wouldn't give to still be lying in bed with her rather than preparing to do this. "This can't come back on her," he warned the group again."It's not going to," Tyler assured his friend. He clamped a hand on Jagger's back. "I hat
Jagger pulled his phone out of his pocket and sighed as he saw a missed call and two texts from Bianca. "Shit.""What's wrong?" Layne asked as he walked over to where Jagger sat.The two of them were at a local coffee shop, waiting to meet with their sheriff friend, Rooster. "Friend" was actually too strong a word, but he was useful sometimes and they all tried to work together whenever possible."B called and then texted twice. I should probably see what she wanted," he said as he dialed and put the phone to his ear.On the other end, Bianca answered. "Hey, I was tryin' to call you earlier.""I see that. I had some business to take care of for the club, so I was out of cell range. What did you need?""Full disclosure...I'm teaching tomorrow."Immediately, he stopped everything. "At the middle school?"She sighed. "Yeah. I know you don't want me to be doing it, but I have to get my hours in. The way for me to do it is student teaching and substituting. I have to do what
Bianca could hear her heels clicking against the concrete as she made her way into the school. Her heart thundered in her chest this time for different reasons than the first time. She was no longer nervous about how she would do, she was now nervous about who would be there and what might be said to her."Good morning, Stacey." She did her best, but the smile didn't exactly meet her eyes as she signed in at the office."Morning, Bianca. Here's everything you need for your classes today." The other woman handed her a badge and what looked to be lesson plans. "Thanks." Their greeting was awkward and Bianca wasn't sure why. She cleared her throat and tapped her toe against the carpeted floor. "I wanted to say thank you again for the email you sent me after the last time I was here. I really do appreciate it.""You're welcome. I think you're a nice woman, and from what I've heard about you, you've worked hard to make your dreams come true. The kids need someone like you around. Y
Bianca fumed as she stomped out of the front door of the school. As Rooster asked her to do, Stacey had met her outside the office and given her what she needed to get paid for her day. Bianca hadn't missed that look in Stacey's eyes that said she knew something was going on. The secretary just hadn't been sure of what it was. Her blood boiled as she hit the front stoop and saw Liam, Jagger, and Rooster hanging out in the parking lot. She wanted to turn and walk towards her car, but if she did, she would never get a mad on like this again."Fuck it," she mumbled and made her way to over where the three men lounged against a police cruiser and their bikes. Her heels sounded against the blacktop, and she knew by the frequency of the clicks she really should have been running."Hey baby," Jagger greeted her, opening his arms for her.She moved so that he couldn't wrap them around her body and held her finger up. "Don't 'baby' me. I'm furious at the three of you."Jagger took a mom
Bianca sat on the couch, her legs in Jagger's lap. She studied while he flipped through files on an iPad he had pulled out of his bag. She asked quietly what he was doing, but he had only grunted and indicated he was looking for something that tied everything together. She made the decision to just let him come to her when he was ready. As she got a little bit more comfortable, the two of them heard footsteps coming up the stairs outside and a knock at the door."You stay here," Jagger told her as he stood up, pulling a gun from behind his back. He made sure one was in the chamber and walked over to the door, slightly pulling the curtain back.She stiffened, not sure who was on the other side of that door. It made her nervous not to know just what the fuck was going on. This had never been the life that she lived, but she knew that with Jagger here this would be her life from now on, and she took that for what it was."It's the guys," he told her, putting the safety back on the g
Jagger awoke the next morning to his phone ringing incessantly. The first time he reached over and shut it off. In seconds it rang again."I think someone is really tryin' to get in touch with you," Bianca grumbled, putting her head under her pillow. It wasn't his pre-pay so Jagger knew it wasn't Liam or one of the other members of the club. "Somebody better be fuckin' dead. It's 5 a.m.," he growled into the phone."Sorry, but I figured you would want to hear this."Jagger recognized Rooster's voice, and just like that he was awake and sitting up, his mind working on all cylinders. "Talk to me.""I took my suspicions to my superiors yesterday. With what evidence we had—I embellished where yours came from slightly—they issued a search warrant for Raymond Tucker's house and his office at the school. We are executing that search warrant today. I'm giving you a personal heads up. I've also called Liam."Jagger reached over and shook Bianca awake. "Are you teaching today?" he a
