Chapter Four

It killed him to leave Shelly lying in bed, looking all soft and warm. She’d nearly broken down all of his defenses when she’d asked so sweetly for him to make love to her. He should have never kissed her last night, and he definitely shouldn’t have repeated it this morning. But with her large, blue eyes looking at him with such trust, how could he deny her request?

The taste of her lingered on his lips and her sweet scent clung to his skin. He had business to take care of and couldn’t be mooning after his mate. And yes, he could admit that she was his mate. But unlike Axel and Viper, he had no intention of falling for her. No matter how sweet and vulnerable she appeared to be, no matter how much she seemed to need him, to want him…she deserved so much more than a broken ex-soldier. He’d done some horrific things in his life, and now that he was President of the M.C., he was certain there would be more horrific things to come.

He and his band of merry men didn’t go after just anyone though. They sought out the bad guys, having this driving need to punish the wicked. All right, so they’d lined their pockets in the past by hocking stolen car parts. And when he’d first joined, the M.C. had been running drugs, but Reaper had put a stop to that soon enough. These days, they were completely legit. Their Treasurer was a whiz with the stock market and had taken all of that dirty money and invested it.

There was talk of opening a few businesses in town. They’d thought to open a motorcycle repair shop, but it seemed the alpha, Gabriel Andrew, had beat them to it. There was already a strip club in town, and really, they didn’t want to put women in that position if they didn’t have to. Ghost wasn’t entirely certain what the hell they were going to do for some extra cash. There were enough ex-Special Forces guys hiding out in M.C.s that he supposed they could band together and offer their services to the government, but he really didn’t want to go that route if he didn’t have to. He’d earned a quiet life. Well, as quiet as his life would ever be.

As everyone gathered in the boardroom, he banged the gavel to get their attention. He was wearing his cut again, with the President patch on his chest. It felt good. Felt right.

“As you all know, Preacher was buying whores from a man named Richard here in Ashton Grove. I threatened him last night when I rescued Shelly, but I don’t think he’s going to heed my warning. The last time she tried to escape, he beat her. She’s also been whipped and shot. That isn’t the kind of man that’s going to let go of his investments quite so easily.” Ghost banged a fist on the table. “But we are not going to let him get away with this shit.
