Tex

Two Weeks Later

I woke with Kalani pressed against my side, her hand on my chest. A smile lifted the corners of my lips as I thought about how insatiable she’d been after she’d overcome her fear. Being with Kalani was better than anything I’d ever experienced, and I hadn’t lacked for female company over the years. Not having to use a condom might have had a little to do with it, but I knew it was mostly because she was mine. She’d trusted me to keep her safe, trusted me not only with her emotions but her body, and I wouldn’t fail her. I’d never really thought about getting married before, but I didn’t regret making Kalani my wife.

My phone buzzed from the pocket of my jeans, and I eased out from under Kalani so I could answer it. Preferably before it woke her up. We were only supposed to be here a few days, but we’d ended up extending our stay. It had taken some convincing, because I hadn’t wanted to leave my daughter for so long, but Torch had assured me she was fine. And Janessa seemed excited to be around all the babies in the club. I had to admit that I’d loved every minute with my new wife, but I was missing my daughter.

I jerked the device from my jeans and stepped into the other room before I answered. Torch’s name flashed across my screen and my gut clenched. Had something happened to Janessa? Or had Hillview come for Kalani? Last time I talked to the Pres, he’d said everything was fine. The paperwork was still in limbo for making Janessa my daughter legally, but at least I had temporary custody. It didn’t mean something hadn’t gone wrong though.

“Torch,” I said as I answered the call.

“I know it’s still early there, but this couldn’t wait.”

The feeling of unease intensified. Then I heard him hand the phone off to someone else.

“How are things with the new wife?” Wire asked.

“Good. I think. Unless you’re about to tell me that shit has hit the fan.”

Wire chuckled. “Nothing quite that bad. Have you, um, slept together yet? I know that wasn’t a likely outcome of this trip with everything she’s been through. We’d honestly hoped that by extending your trip maybe she’d warm up to you a bit more.”

“Yeah, why?”

“Whitby has the cops looking for Kalani. It seems he’s done keeping her his dirty little secret. The news is saying that Kalani Whitby is disturbed and is dangerous. There’s a reward for her return to Hillview.”

I cursed and started pacing. “What the fuck, Wire? I thought you said he’d want to keep things quiet as long as possible. Why come forward now?”

“A social worker stopped by the morning after you left for Vegas. I didn’t want to mention it before, but something’s come up. They talked to Janessa, making sure her needs were met. The woman didn’t seem too thrilled that your daughter was hanging around a bunch of bikers, but I still had enough strings to pull that it wasn’t an issue.
