Chapter Six

Flicker

I rubbed at my eyes and stared down at my coffee, my vision blurry from lack of sleep. It had been three days since Pepper tried to run, since Wire had reminded her of the hell she’d survived, and she had nightmares every fucking night. I’d tried wearing her out, in the best of ways, but even that didn’t seem to help. Not for the entire night. Between the incredible sex and waking to her screams, I wasn’t sleeping for shit, but I couldn’t really complain about it. Having Pepper in my bed, knowing she was mine, made the exhaustion more than worth it. I only wished I knew how to stop her from reliving the worst night of her life.

Wire had called too fucking early, before the sun was even up, and now I was sitting at the damn kitchen table waiting for him. I didn’t know what he needed to discuss that couldn’t be said over the fucking phone, or at a decent hour. When the front door opened and I heard more than one set of steps coming toward the kitchen, I eyed the doorway. Wire came into the room first, then Torch, Venom, and Tank followed. Fuck my life. The visit didn’t bode well for my morning.

The fact all the club officers, plus Wire, were now in my kitchen wasn’t comforting. If this was a club matter, Torch would have called Church. Meeting here meant it was personal. Which meant it most likely had to do with Pepper.

“I’d ask if you were hung over, but I’m guessing your woman is keeping you up all night,” Torch said with a smile.

“Lucky fucker,” Wire muttered.

“Yeah, she is, but not necessarily in the greatest of ways. Ever since Wire told everyone what happened to her, all those memories came back, and she’s been having nightmares.”

Wire winced and I could see the shame and remorse in his eyes. He hadn’t thought for a second what hearing that would do to Pepper, or even just reminding her of that night, and as much as I wanted to punch him, I could understand why he’d done it. Didn’t mean I liked it, nor approved of his methods. He could have asked Pepper to leave the fucking room before he started spewing that shit. It was hard enough for me to hear about it, but Pepper had fucking lived through it. The last thing she needed was to have all that dredged up and thrown in her face.

“We’re here because Wire found something about your girl,” Venom said.

“Like what?” I asked.

“Carmine Galetti has put out the word that Pepper is a person of interest to him. It’s a capture order, with a price for anyone who brings her in unharmed. So, the good news is they don’t want her dead,” Wire said.

“And the bad news?” I asked. If he’d made sure I knew that was the good part, that meant there was definitely something bad to be added to the statement.

“They’ve contacted
