Chapter Eight

Angelina

“She’ll be okay. The skin will be tender from the bruises and slight burns, your woman will start to feel better once they subside. I’m unable to confirm whether or not she has any broken ribs without an x-ray, my guess would be she has at least one or two from the looks of things.”

Who the hell is that talking?

“She able to get in the shower when she wakes up?”

“I don’t see a problem with it but she needs to take it easy and not irritate the burns so no scrubbing at her skin.”

The voices continue speaking but I can’t hear them so well. I try to open my eyes but as I do all I see is complete darkness. My breathing immediately begins to increase as my head thrashes on a pillow. Lifting a hand to touch my face, I’m stopped before I even get close.

“Easy, babe, don’t try to move right now.” My heart nearly stops within my chest at the sound of that voice. I’d know it anywhere. Doesn’t matter if it were gruffer, more masculine than when we were younger.

Peirce.

“Why can’t I see?” I ask apprehensively.

“Mamma, brought over one of her remedies to help your eyes with any irritation from the fire,” he says.

“Carson?” I ask, now knowing the reason behind why I can’t see. Ela.

“He’s out in the main room with all the ol’ ladies hovering over him,” Peirce says, a hint of amusement in his tone.

“Peirce?” I call his name apprehensively.

“I’m just gonna head out, Pipe knows what to look out for and considering your ol’ lady is a doctor herself, she’ll also know,” a man says from somewhere nearby and I’m surprised as hell Peirce doesn’t correct him for calling me his ol’ lady. He hates me. I might have been at one time. He asked me to be his ol’ lady after he became a full fledge member of the club. Our senior year after he turned eighteen, he’d started prospecting for the Inferno’s Clutch and at the time I couldn’t be more thrilled to wear his property patch when the time came.

“Thanks Doc, I appreciate it,” he says, his thumb rubbing against my wrist.

At the sound of a door closing, I become nervous for some reason. Am I alone with Peirce right now?

Peirce releases my wrist after laying it down gently on the bed then there’s a dip in the bed and right after that he removes what was covering my eyes. “There you go,” he says softly as he pulls back.

Blinking several times, I tilt my head to the side to meet Peirce’s gaze.

“Where am I?”

“My room at the clubhouse,” he rasps, situating himself on the bed next to me with his knee bent and resting there.

Furrowing my brows, I’m confounded by this.

“Why didn’t you just take me to the hospital? Or put me in a different room. I’m sure you don’t need me taking your space from you,” I mumble.

“Didn’t take you to the hospital ‘cause we didn’t want anyone to find out you survived that fire.
