All Chapters of The Devil's Ice (The Road Devils MC 5): Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

"Oh, my God,” Vixen said again, trying to imagine the calm and collected Briley Cross, ex-cop and smart-as-hell woman, being that out of control. “And Dux and Drake?”Ice raised one shoulder in a shrug. “They’ve been in bad situations before, with people that they care about. They can – compartmentalize, sort of. They’re putting how they feel in deep freeze for now, but when it’s over, they’re going to fucking kill whoever did this.”“And you’re not going to stop them.”“No.” Ice’s tone was final. “None of us will.”She was silent, thinking things through, wondering why having knowledge of a pre-planned and -meditated murder barely fazed her. “So… so this attack on me and Keira –”“We don’t know exactly what the intention was,” Ice said. “It might have been to kidnap Keira too, even if it meant killing you in the process.”“But maybe they wanted us both dead,” Vixen said hollowly. “You’ve seen the video of the way that van came at us, Ice… it looked like he was trying to run us over.

“OK.” He narrowed those incredible eyes at her. “You’re a huge Picasso fan and your dream is to go to Paris and see his stuff in person.”“Wait,” she said, surprised. “How’d you know that?”“I heard you talking to Cole about it at Satan’s one night.”“Eavesdropping on my conversations with other people doesn’t count!” she said indignantly. “First-hand knowledge only for this exercise!”“Yeah, that’s fair.” He ran his hands through his hair, still staring down at her. “OK, real talk now?”“Yes.”“I don’t know shit about your life, Vix, and that’s on me because I’ve never asked you a single question. I don’t know where you’re from, if you have family, if you like Indian food, how you take your coffee… I do know that you drink green tea, and that’s about all I’ve got. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t know you in some ways that really, really matter.”“You mean biblically?”“No,” Ice growled, all joking manner gone now. “No. I mean that I know you’re the kind of woman who fucking stands

“Well.” She sucked in a deep breath. “I think that if Olivia Jameson can lose an entire modelling career after getting a bunch of scars on her face, and end up married to the desperately sexy Dallas Foreman, and be loved and happy… I figure I can handle it. I’m not exactly losing a multi-million-dollar career, right, but do you think my bar tips will take a hit?”“No.” Ice was firm, even as his lips twitched in a slight grin. “Not even a little bit.”“No? You think that Satan’s customers will still want to flirt with me?”“I know they will.” Ice gripped the back of his t-shirt, yanked it over his head. “I mean, I’m not gonna stop.”And there was that muscled, massive chest that she’d run her lips and fingers over hundreds of times, the chest that had moved above her as Ice had fucked her breathless. It was here in her bathroom, all casual and tattooed and gorgeous, like it was no big deal at all. Like it had always been here, just like this.“Ohhh,” Vix squeaked, turning to face him n

Salt Lake City, UtahThe Highway Hellions MC ClubhouseBones Gallagher walked into the clubhouse, his every nerve jangling wildly. Something was wrong – very, very wrong – and he didn’t need to know exactly what it was to know that it was true. His gut instincts had served him for his thirty-eight years in MC life, and they’d ensured that he was about to celebrate his sixtieth (and probably last) year on earth. So if they were screaming at him now, he was going to listen hard.He looked around the bar, clocking everyone who was there, but far more interested in who wasn’t. Bullet and Mad Dog hadn’t been seen or heard from in two days, and they weren’t here now. Oh, sure, Preacher and Animal had told everyone that the men had been sent back to Denver to finish what Eyeball and Cruiser had so thoroughly fucked up – but Bones had his doubts about that story. Serious ones.First, he didn’t believe that Viper would send anyone back to the scene of such a massive clusterfuck so soon. The Ro

“Because he’s working on the assumption that Viper Grant has the babies, and Scars is worried that he’s got them close, and if so, they’d be in the direct line of fire. If Viper saw any of us show up – even just to talk to him, no action at all, just come in peace – Scars thinks that he’s unstable enough to hurt those kids. He also thinks that’s why Viper took ‘em in the first place – to act as tiny human shields.”“Oh, God.” Vixen was horrified. “I never thought about that.” “It’s not a great thing to have to think about,” Ice said heavily. “But Scars is. The truth is that we’ve been blindsided by Viper – none of us ever gave him even a thought, not when we were dealing with Crusher Alcott. Next to him, everyone in that MC looked weak. But we got Viper way wrong, and now we’re playing catch up and the truth is that we’re way, way behind him. We know he’s willing to kidnap babies and run kids down in parking lots… so the idea that he’d sacrifice Hannah and Joe at the first sight of u
