CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE

THE DOOR FLEW open without warning, slamming hard against the wall as Copper stormed into Jazz’s house followed by Zach, Rocket, LJ and finally a subdued Screw and Gumby.

Both she and Toni shrieked then sprung up from their spots on the couch. “Holy shit!” Toni yelled.

Shell rushed down the hallway from the bathroom. “What was that?”

The sight of both Screw and Gumby in her home, unharmed, had pounds of tension lifting from her shoulders. Jazz placed a hand over her chest as her heart beat out an erratic rhythm. “Jesus, guys, you scared the crap out of us. Maybe a little less storm-the-castle next time, huh?”

Then she took in the sight of Copper’s face.

Yikes.

His green eyes had darkened to near black. Jazz tried to avoid his glare. Who knew what would happen if she got caught in his crosshairs? She might be burned to ash. Those mitt sized hands fisted and opened at his sides over and over. The veins in his arms bulged like the Hulk’s did when he ripped off his shirt. He held his large body so stiff and rigid if he bumped his shoulder, an arm might fall off. And she wouldn’t be surprised if he started beating someone with it.

Someone was in for it, in the worst way, and by the compressed set of Screw’s mouth and the way he kept his gaze on the ground, Jazz had a sinking feeling he would be on the receiving end of Copper’s wrath in about five seconds.

Her heart fluttered with anxiety as she tried to get either Screw’s or Gumby’s attention by sending telepathic messages. After a few seconds, Gumby gave her a small smile and mouthed, “we’re okay.” Looked like that was the best she was gonna get since Screw still appeared mesmerized by her worn, beige carpet.

“Copper what’s wr—” Shell started.

“Kitchen, ladies,” Copper barked.

Jazz flinched and began to move, as did Toni, but Shell stood her ground. “What’s going on?” she asked, voice soft and soothing as though speaking to a wild animal.

“I said kitchen.”

Shell raised an eyebrow and Jazz swallowed hard. She was a brave, brave woman taking on that scary man. Then again, she lived with him and it was well known she had the big, bad club president wrapped around her pinkie.

Copper blew out a breath then walked to his wife. “Sorry, babe,” he whispered down to her before kissing her. “Can you guys give us a few minutes, please?”

“You know we can still hear you from the kitchen, right?” Jazz said.

Why had they come to Jazz’s house instead of going to the clubhouse if they wanted privacy?

Just as she was about to voice the question, Copper ran a hand down his face as he glanced her way. “Fuck it,” he said. “You got a right to know what’s going on since you live here.”

What the hell? Was she in danger? Was Paul—

No! That was her mind, running out of control. Paul was going to be locked up for a long time.
