CHAPTER 17

Smiling, I swiped my brush through the paint and then dabbed it on the wall. The women were all gathered around inside Sloane's nursery while I worked on her mural. We dragged various chairs inside so they could sit and watch me work.

Hellfire told me everything that went down last night, so it came as no surprise when Lockout announced that he was shutting down The Bunker for the next few weeks. Every one of the guys was tense, waiting for the mafia's response to all of this.

I gave Hellfire a shoulder massage this morning before meeting the girls. He was trying to roll the stiffness from his muscles. The knots I found may as well have been boulders. And no wonder, I couldn’t imagine the stress he was under. I enjoyed touching him though, and listening to his groans of appreciation as I smoothed out weary muscles, it had my panties dampening in a hurry. Too bad there wasn’t enough time to take care of that.

"Ricochet is driving me crazy," Jordan said with a sigh. "He made me call in sick today." She gave us all an indignant look. "Do you know how long it's been since I've called in sick?"

"Then you're due," I told her with a soft smile thrown over my shoulder. "Your dad can handle the birds."

"I know," she said with a heavy sigh. "I just don't like being penned up here. Makes me itchy."

"Look," I said, spinning around on my butt so I was facing them. My voice was soft and understanding. As much as I didn’t like being stuck here either, I was looked at as a leader amongst these women, or so Hell had told me this morning. It was part of my obligation to the club and the women themselves to help them understand and follow the rules in a time like this. The guys had valid reasons for wanting to keep us close. "I know this is tough. None of us want to be cooped up, forced to call out of work, but this is important. If we can't stay here, where it's easy for the guys to keep an eye on us, who knows what will happen."

There were nods and murmurs of agreement. "This is the only way for the guys to protect us while their focus is on The Italians," Susie added.

"I vote they send us to Mexico," Seek said with a grin. "I hear Cabo is nice this time of year."

Everyone laughed, even Jordan. Her shoulders slumped. "Sorry. I know they're doing their best and I don't mean to complain. I just miss my damn bird. Since living here, I haven't had the time to take her out hunting. I barely get to visit her, or my family."

"We understand," Sloane said, scooting over to wrap an arm around her shoulders.

"And if you can't bitch to us," Jenny added, "who can you complain to?"

Gwen patted Jordan's thigh from where she was sitting on the other side of her. "Think of it as a mini vacation with your best friends.
