Chapter 197

Author: Laramie Briscoe
last update Last Updated: 2022-10-20 14:22:04
Rooster was beginning to get frustrated. He'd figured out without a whole lot of trouble which kids at the high school were the ones dealing the steroids, and he kind of had an idea as to who the kids were that were taking them. Drew and his best friend Dalton Morrison were knee-deep in this whole situation. He still hadn't found out a way to tell Liam, he was still skirting the truth with Roni, and he was pissed about the whole situation. He was selfish because half of the reason he wasn't confirming anything about Drew was because he didn't want Liam to shoot the messenger. His biggest fear was that Liam and Roni would say he was lying and be done with him, even if they both suspected that Drew had a problem. In his experience, when telling people things they didn't want to hear, it was easy as fuck to turn a blind eye and accuse the person bringing the truth to them. The hardest thing to do was to sit back and wait for it all to unfold, but that's what he kept telling himself that h

    An hour later, Rooster had what he was looking for and Travis was asking questions that he knew he couldn't answer. That seemed to be his token job lately, having answers that he couldn't reveal."This is the high school football coach. What the fuck is going on?" Travis whispered as he held onto the papers he had printed for Rooster."I can't explain that right now, I need this information, so I need you to let go of the fucking paper," he whispered back.It was stupid, the two of them whisper shouting at each other in Steele's cave, but Rooster couldn't afford to let someone else hear them. What if Liam heard and then he had to confess that he'd kept all of this a secret? That he hadn't been completely on the up and up. It made his stomach hurt, but he didn't want to cause emotional pain to anyone until he knew exactly what he was dealing with. It didn't matter that he was waiting to get a bead on everything, to find out if what he thought was true was actually true. Liam wasn'

    Roni sat on the couch in Doc Jones office, wringing her hands together. She wasn't sure how people were supposed to feel once they got here, but she was nervous as hell. Everyone that she'd spoken with told her how easy it was to talk to the older woman once they got going, but Roni was beginning to doubt that. They'd been here for almost fifteen minutes and neither one of them were any closer to spilling their guts than they had been when they first walked inside. Neither one of them had barely said a sentence, much less anything else."Roni, you're the one who called me," Doc Jones started when it was apparent the two of them weren't going to offer her any information. "Why did you feel the need to have me around when you speak to Rooster?"She shifted in her seat; this part was the hard part. It felt like the spotlight was on her and she was on display. Being on display was never something her personality had craved and it made her very uncomfortable. If it helped her move on wi

    Rooster didn't know if this was a great idea, he was still reeling from what she had told him about their unborn child. That had been the last thing he'd thought she'd tell him when he'd agreed to come here. Of course, he'd had a feeling that whatever it was, it was going to be big. This was much bigger than anything he could have ever imagined."Go ahead," Doc Jones encouraged him. "You get yours out and then we'll work through it all together. It's better to just say it, and then we can take the ramifications one by one.""I quit the sheriff's department after some things happened that I didn't agree with. When I had to go to the camp, things changed and I became the do-gooder extraordinaire of the world because that's what I had to do. For years, I was a dick to Heaven Hill and I acted like I didn't even know who Roni was. There's no doubt in my mind why she didn't tell me about all this before now. I was trying to be someone I wasn't." He ran a hand through his hair. "That's ne

    They sat in his truck, silence blanketing them for long minutes. They both fidgeted in their seats, neither one sure of what to say or how to put into words the feelings that coursed through their hearts. If either one of them were honest, they were probably in shock about the bombshells they'd both dropped. Roni finally spoke."I know the two of us have a lot to talk about. I know I handed you a blow in there, there's not been time for either of us to process the emotions we're both feeling, but right now, we have a bigger issue that needs our attention."He glanced at her, nodding his head. "Drew.""That's right." She blew out a deep breath and glanced out the window. "We've got to see what we can do to help get him out of this situation. Right now, he's not over the edge. He's on the brink, and we've got to make sure we pull him back before he does some incredibly stupid shit. I don't want him to ruin his life before he even gets it started."Rooster agreed with her. "So we

    Rooster felt awkward walking up to a teenage boy's bedroom with Tyler following close behind. If this had been a year ago, he'd think that Drew was luring him in for a beat down. Bad analogy, he knew, but he had to do something to keep from thinking too heavily about the situation at hand. The three of them made their way inside. Rooster stood with his back to the door while Tyler had a seat next to Drew on the bed. The silence was deafening as they waited for him to tell them why he had called them in on this and not his parents."You're gonna need to give us something here," Tyler told him quietly. "What the fuck is going on?"Rooster tried to look at this subjectively. Back when all this had happened with him and Liam, they were almost a full two years older than the boy who sat before them. But he couldn't deny the fact that Drew had grown up on them. His face had thinned out the last couple of months, losing the baby fat that had made him look boyish. He'd had a growth spurt a

    Roni glanced out the window on the way back to her apartment, watching as the rain from a late summer thunderstorm made tracks down the glass. It had been a long day and afternoon. She hadn't wanted to drive herself home, and since she'd taken a company vehicle to Liam's, she'd left it there and let Rooster drive her home."Are you okay?" he asked softly, looking over at her in the dim light from the console on his dashboard. He was worried about her, she'd been quiet since they left Liam's and it had been an extremely emotional day for the both of them."No, I feel awful," she told him. "Mandy tried to tell me that something was wrong, and I blew her off. I even saw him get mean with her, but I couldn't worry myself enough to truly find out what was going on. What if this kid's parents decide to press charges against Drew? All this over a girl and roid rage?"He grinned, but she couldn't see it. "I've done worse over a girl before."That was true, he had, but they had been so

    Roni was afraid to move. Sunlight was shining in her eyes between the curtain and the blind, but she didn't want to ruin the romantic haze she'd been in since she'd convinced Rooster to take her on the bed of his truck. She lay in the arms of the one man who'd had her heart her whole life. She didn't want to wake him up and then have him regret everything they'd done the night before. That was her biggest fear, that they had both been blinded by the need to forget the crazy stuff that was going on in their lives. That she had been a warm body, any warm body. She was almost afraid to breathe."You don't have to worry about waking me up."The male voice was rough and full of sleep. It was what she had imagined for years it would be like. Was this how their lives would have gone? Would they have woken up like this each and every morning? Their arms and legs entwined with one another, both naked, her sore from what they had done the night before? It was almost enough to make her cry, t

    On his way back to his own apartment, a text message had come through Rooster's phone from Liam, telling him to meet him at the clubhouse ASAP. Rooster figured he wouldn't be going into the school today, doing the job that he'd been doing for a couple weeks. It was a good thing, since he was doing the walk of shame and he was already incredibly late for the day.The walk of shame. He was going to have to be honest and straight up with Liam about his relationship with Roni. This time, he wanted to do everything right, he didn't want there to ever be any misunderstood feelings, any doubt of where his head was. This time it meant too much, and he was too old to let someone tell him how to live his life. He'd done enough of that over the years.In record time, he'd gotten home, gotten changed, and was walking into the clubhouse."Where's Liam?" Rooster asked Jessica, who sat at the huge table in the commons area, laptop and notes strewn everywhere."He's in there." She hooked her t

    The temperature in the cab of the truck was downright frigid as Remy drove to Tyler's house to drop off Addie first. Tatum refused to meet his gaze and that flat out pissed him off. If she was going to give herself to another man and then have the balls to sit in front of him like this, she should at least have the decency to meet his eyes when he looked at her."Am I going to have to explain to Tyler why I'm dropping you off at one in the fucking morning?" Remy glanced in the review mirror of the truck, looking back to where Addie sat in the extended cab."No," she shook her head, looking about as tired and unhappy as he felt. "He's at the clubhouse. He and Mom had planned to stay and they took Caelin with them."Well, thank God for small favors, because the one person besides Liam he didn't want to face off with tonight, was Tyler."You're lucky I don't call him and tell him where the hell you've been. How could you let her go up there with him?" he questioned her, the irrita

    Tatum's heart beat through her chest as she followed Gavin upstairs to a much quieter part of the house. Her mouth was dry – the result of her nerves, or the alcohol she'd consumed – she wasn't sure which. Her hand gripped Gavin's tightly, but she knew it wasn't because she was excited, it was because she wanted to yank on it, and stop him from leading her into the empty bedroom. Part of her wanted to put a stop to it, the other part wanted to go through with this so she could throw it in Remy's face. Those stubborn traits she'd inherited from her dad were alive and well tonight.She glanced over her shoulder, spotting Addie pulling out her phone and making a call. The worried look on her friend's face told her all she needed to know. Addie was probably calling in reinforcements and her time had suddenly become very limited."You feelin' good?" his deep voice questioned in her ear, causing her hair to stand up and goosebumps to appear on her arms. This time it was different than wh

    Remy was in a piss-poor mood, had been since the night of the Christmas party and everything that had gone down with Tatum. He bit off the head of anyone foolish enough to ask if he was okay. He'd been eating lunch by himself, and overall had been a miserable fucking loner. Even right now, while everyone else was partying their asses off, his big date was being in the gym and beating the ever-loving shit out of a heavy bag. It was the only thing that seemed to calm him the last few days.Hearing his fists connect with the bag felt good, even if it was muted by the gloves he wore. His arms burned, his shoulders and back ached, his chest heaved, and sweat poured down his forehead and into his eyes; making them sting. The sting felt good though, because it distracted him from the guilt he felt for the way he'd treated Tatum. And that guilt was pressing down on him like he was trapped under a thousand-pound boulder.He'd felt every emotion on the spectrum since she'd walked out on him

    Tatum's blue eyes took in the party-goers around her. In different parts of the room, she could see members of her graduating class, some kids that were now seniors, and a few college kids. God, this had never been her thing, she'd never found high school or college parties worth anything to her. She could see everything that went on at them and more, at the club parties. Plus, this was a mob mentality – everyone here went along with everyone else, and it was so boring. Nobody had any individuality. Normally, she'd have tossed the invitation in the trash can and not even thought twice about it. She would have spent the night at the club's New Year's party and have an actual good time with her friends and family.Tonight though, she was on a mission."Do you see anybody?" Addie asked as they surveyed the room.Tatum took a drink from the bottle of Strawberry Boone's Farm she carried in her hand. It was the bottom shelf stuff, guaranteed to get you loaded in the least amount of tim

    Tatum had never felt anything like the all-consuming lust that blasted through her as soon as Remy grabbed her hip and pulled her deep into his body. She'd thought she had but damn, she was wrong. Her fingers grasped at his shirt, trying to ground herself in the feelings, when she felt his bare palms slip up under the hem of her dress. The sharp intake of breath, and the way he nipped at her lip indicated he'd discovered she'd worn a thong."Fuck, Tate," he moaned as he pulled his lips from hers.She almost cried as he abandoned her lips and smeared his mouth down her neck. She felt the sharp nip of his teeth down to the core of her body. It caused her nipples to tighten further against the lace of strapless bra, and before she knew what she was doing, she was rubbing up against him."Please, Rem," she gasped out when she felt one of his hands on her ass venture back over her hip, and closer to the wetness and heat she felt between her thighs."Has anybody touched you?" he grow

    He knew the second she walked in, just like he'd known when she'd entered the bakery. Even seven shots of Pappy in, he could feel her, he knew she was there by the way the hair on the back of his neck stood up, the goosebumps he got on his arms and the way his dick stirred to attention. He wasn't sure what kind of hold Tatum Walker held over him, but it was strong, maybe dangerously so, like some sort of Jedi Mind Trick he'd never be able to resist. And dammit if his hand didn't shake as he took his next shot."Too much for you?" Drew asked as he noticed the slight tremble of the other man's hand.How did he tell the man sitting beside him, he was hard up for his little sister? Easy. He didn't."Nah, I'm good, but I gotta hit the head. Be back."Plan number two when plan number one didn't work? Run and hope she wouldn't follow. As much alcohol as he had consumed, he wasn't sure he could push her away this time. After all, he was only a man and he wasn't immune to the way she lo

    He should have brought a date. Those were the first words Remy thought when he walked through the door of the clubhouse. It hit him like a ton of bricks, and all he wanted to do was turn around and head back to Cash and Harper's. Normally, he lived at the clubhouse, but he'd had dinner at their place tonight. He could relieve the babysitter watching Maddy, and he wouldn't have to worry about keeping his guard up.Couples were paired off, which meant anyone without a plus one would be inevitably thrown together. Looking up, he saw mistletoe was hung randomly around the room. Shit. Since he was the youngest, he seemed to be one of the few without a woman on his arm. Sure as the world turned, he'd find himself thrown toward someone tonight.Gazing around the room, he didn't see Tatum and for that he was extremely thankful. He'd been able to avoid her since the day at Harper's bakery, but it'd hadn't been easy. Not that she'd gone out of her way to be around him but they were in the sa

    Remy told himself to slow down as he grasped her neck, hauling Tatum closer to him. He cautioned his lust-drunk body not to make a fool of itself. He warned his libido not to let this go too far. They were in the middle of the bakery, in the middle of downtown. Anyone could walk through that door from some dumbass off the street, to her brother, to her dad. But he couldn't stop, couldn't force his hand not to trail down her body and grasp her tight ass in his fingers. He wanted desperately to pull her lower half into his, wanted to shove his thigh between her legs and feel the heat he knew would be there. His tongue was forceful as it made its way into her mouth, testing how far she'd let him go.Turned out she'd let him go as far as he wanted to.His brain tried to warn him that this was progressing too quickly. It was getting too out of control, too fast. If he didn't watch it, he'd be picking her up and putting her ass first against the nearest wall. He was losing his mind, losi

    Son of a bitch. Something in the way Tatum's gaze met his made him think he'd said those words loud enough she could hear them. But fuck, she looked amazing. Even more than she usually did. Tatum had been gorgeous for a long time, but with her hair in this new cut, she looked sexy, and almost… sophisticated. But this was Tatum. She'd never fully be a lady, not really. She didn't do dresses unless she had to, she didn't do caked on makeup, and she could hang with the guys – no matter how raunchy it got."Do you like it?" She asked again, this time looking much more unsure than when she'd started out. Very slowly, she ran her fingers through her hair, giving it a tousle.Remy cleared his throat, not sure how honest he wanted to be, but at the same time knowing he couldn't help but be honest. If he lied to her, she would know, and it would do nothing to help the situation they seemed to always find themselves in. The two of them always seemed to be either pushing or pulling at each ot
