"So, do we tell her what hubby is doing?" Rocket asked.Everyone looked at Ace. Once he realized everyone was looking at him to answer he frowned. A couple guys gave him knowing looks."Another brother fallen." Radar joked."That's not funny. It's not like that. She's just innocent and needs someone to protect her." Ace mumbled."Yeah, keep telling yourself that big guy." Prez smirked."What's his punishment going to be?" Soldier dared to ask."Hey asshole! I've not even kissed her. So don't put me in the same boat as you were. You had fucked your woman. Besides you got off easy, like a slap on the wrist." Ace warned.Several of them chuckled low. But when Ace would look them in the face they'd stop. Prez sighed, he knew Ace was a goner for the girl. They'd deal with it when it happened. For now they needed intel and a plan of action to protect her and themselves."Alright settle down. Ace you decide how much you want to tell her. Data and Hacker I won't information on these gambling
Ace opened the back and grabbed her bags. Then walked around and opened the door for her. He held his hand out to help her up. She put her hand in his and he pulled her out of the SUV. She realized she still had her bags clutched tightly in her hands."We'll put you up in a room here at the compound until we figure out what we're dealing with. Friday and Saturday nights get a little wild so you may want to stay in your room while the single guy’s party with the club women." Ace explained."Ok." Lainey agreed.She wanted no part of that. Some of her favorite romance books to read were Biker Romances. She had no idea how real or made up they were. But normally people got their ideas from somewhere, right?They walked through the main room which was oddly clean and spacious. She figured for a bunch of guys it would be dirty and beer cans or bottles everywhere. A lot of the stories she read were like that. But then she remembered, they were all retired military.Ace showed here where the
"Yeah, he's a real piece of work. Multiple cons he's managed to escape from. Juvie filed is sealed but I'll get around that, just will take some time. He's had a few assault arrests but were dropped. No legal jobs on file. Until they married lived with his dad. Mom deceased when he was a few years old. Dad seems clean." "His dad was great! He was a wonderful trainer and was with my dad many years. Him and my dad got along great. After we got married his dad retired according to Drew. Said his dad was heartbroken at my dad's passing. He's in his late fifties, so I didn't question it." Lainey replied."We'll do more digging. As for now, no contact of any kind from anyone in your past. If you need to go to town, you'll need to have a security escort. Rocket and Ace will be your detail." Prez ordered."Ok." Lainey agreed.The big guy as Jarret called him was the one who caught her eye. He was tall, but very muscular also. His arms were huge and one arm had a sleeve of tattoos down it and
The waitress was right. The food was delicious. Lainey ate until she was in a food coma, or at least felt like it. The events had really started to hit her hard. She needed a bed and a couple days of sleep stat!The waitress came over to her with her check. She looked at her and knew something wasn't right. She sensed she was running from something or someone, and her body was running on fumes. Knowing she was a good judge of character she decided this poor girl needed help."Honey if I may be so bold, do you need help?" The kind waitress asked."You've no idea." Lainey whispered.The waitress smiled and patted her hand. Lainey gave the waitress money to pay for her food. She took it, then came back with her receipt. There was some writing on the back of it."There's a safe place for women to go, that need help or protection, or to just rest. Whatever you need this place can help. I'd trust them with my life. And believe me when I say NO problem is too big for them." She smiled.Laine
Lainey grew up on a horse farm. Drew was the head trainer’s son. He only wanted to marry Lainey to get control of the horse farm. Shortly after they were married her dad had a farm accident. The tractor rolled over on him killing him. Her mom had divorced her dad when Lainey was 5. She didn't take Lainey with her and her dad raised her.He started to be verbally abusive. She finds out he's cheating on her. Then learns he had been responsible for her dad's accident so she runs.She finds herself at the women's shelter Sierra Sanctuary. Here's her story.Lainey had just woken up. She got dressed and went down to make breakfast and to see what her dad was doing. She went looking for her dad all around the house and noticed that he was outside. So, she got her shoes on and went outside."Good morning dad." Lainey smiled."Good morning honey." Her dad replied."What are you doing?" She asked."Just checking on the horses and getting them fed. Would you care to help your old man?" He asked
Back in the Office. The guys were sitting around discussing what kinds of punishment to give Soldier for breaking the rules. Traci was the voice of reasoning. Reminding Prez, he had broken the rules for her. Granted they had just formed the club and didn't have all the rules and things voted on yet."Ok baby, sorry but you have to leave now. Official club business." Prez explained."Fine, but remember what I said." Traci warned before leaving."Well, we can't let him off with no punishment." VP replied."No, but can we honestly say if we were in his position we'd have done it differently?" Radar asked."Yeah, when have you ever known Soldier to break any rules? That has to count for something." Tracker stated."The heart wants what it wants." Cash replied."This fucking sucks." Prez rubbed his face."I know! He's grounded from missions for 6 weeks! He doesn't get pay without missions. And he broke a mission rule. So seems fitting for the crime." Scribe explained."Hmm, kind of like a
