CHAPTER TEN
LUNA
I was sitting on the toilet staring at the white tube when the door burst open. Rahyne stood there staring down at me.
“I have to pee,” her eyes looked at me and then at the item in my hand.
“Fuck! Are you pregnant.”
I nodded slowly, “I think so.”
I was a little shocked, but at the same time a feeling of pure joy started to creep up my spine. Standing, I cleaned up quickly and moved out of the way of the recently pregnant Rahyne. She was three months along and was starting to have a tiny baby bump. I pressed the same spot on my belly and warmth filled my heart.
“If you are, be ready for the loss of bladder control. I feel like I have to pee every five seconds, and then I go to the bathroom and as you can see-nada.”
“I’m pregnant,” I whispered and stared at myself in the mirror. My wide eyed gaze stared back at me and I smiled. “I’m pregnant!” I yelled out and laughed.
Rahyne looked up at me and shook her head. “The way that man was after you, it’s not surprising.”
“I have to tell Riggs.”
“When is he due back?”
“In a few days. I haven’t heard from him today though,” I scrunched my eyebrows, a sense of worry overwhelming me. “I hope he’s okay. He always calls me.”
Rahyne stood up and stared down at the empty toilet angrily. “Maybe something came up. If he doesn’t call you by tonight let Grayson know, he’ll contact him somehow.
“Do you think he’ll be happy?”
Rahyne looked at me through the bathroom mirror. “Honey, that man is going to be ecstatic. If there’s something you need to know, it’s that these MC men love to see their old ladies all pretty and pregnant. It’s a fucking fetish or something. I’ve never seen so many men ready to be fathers.”
I laughed. “I doubt you can put Cain and Seth in that category. Especially Seth, that man loves sex too much.”
Rahyne shook her head in dismay. “Believe me, when he finds the perfect pussy he won’t hesitate. It’s like an addiction for the Hell’s Lovers. That, and the fact that family means everything to them.”
I nodded. “That it does.”
As we stepped out of the bathroom Grayson waiting in the hallway. She ran a hand down her skirt and bit her lip as she stared at him. Then she leaned down and whispered in my ear. “Have you ever seen a more delicious sight. One more thing to be ready for. Your horniness is off the charts.”
I watched her drape herself against him and he didn’t hesitate to kiss her slow and deep, as if he had all the time in the world for her. In that instant, not only did I get horny, I was missing Riggs even more.
I started to walk away, but Grayson broke apart from Rahyne and directed himself to me. “Luna, make sure to stay near the bar tonight. If you go anywhere, you take one of us with you.”
Riggs had put him in charge of my safety, so I had been surrounded by him and Wolf for the last week. They were nice enough, but they were still scary enough to gain my respect.
I nodded. “Is everything okay?”
His brows furrowed and he hesitated before answering. “Not sure yet. I’ve got a creep hanging around. He left, but this is his third time here this week.”
Rahyne placed a hand on his chest. “Do you know who is he?”
“Says he’s with a New York MC, the Fallen Kings. I know the leader, Father King.”
“Father?” I asked curious.
“Don’t know his real name, he goes by Father, used to be a preacher until they murdered his family. Don’t get me wrong, the guy will quote scripture, but he’s one badass motherfucker.”
I shivered. “Is the man with the Fallen Kings?”
Grayson shook his head. “Don’t think so. This guy doesn’t look like he belongs to any MC. He looks like a weasel. I’m going to give Wolf a call before I let Riggs know,” he slowly ran a hand down Rahyne’s arm. “I’m going out back to check on the cameras. Keep an eye on each other until I get back. Seth’s out there, I’ll leave him keeping an eye out.”
“Come back soon,” Rahyne whispered against his lips and I heard him chuckle. That tug at my heart was starting to annoy me. If only Riggs would get back soon.
“Come on Luna, let’s get back to work.”
A few hours later, we were closing up and I was cleaning up the tables. Suddenly, I noticed a man at the far end of the club stand up. He was hidden in shadows and I squinted trying to make him out, but it was impossible with the glare from the stage lights.
“Excuse me, sir, do you need me to call you a taxi or anything?”
The man didn’t answer, but just continued to stare back at me. I shivered slightly and then saw Seth approach him from the other side of the bar. He said something to him and went to grab his arm, but the man shook him off. Unsteadily, he wandered towards the entrance, Seth making sure he made it out.
As soon as he slammed the door shut, he locked it and turned to look at me. “Guy didn’t take his eyes off you for a second.”
“Oh?” I asked, surprised.
“Did you know him?”
“I don’t think so. I couldn’t make him out.”
Seth frowned. “Hmmm. Interesting.”
He didn’t say another word just walked past me to the back office where Grayson was. There was something going on, but nobody was telling me anything. My anxiety rose and I made my way to Rahyne. I needed to be around people.
As I walked down the hallway, my cell phone rang. Here I Go Again On My Own by Whitesnake echoed through the club. What can I say, my foster mother was a lover of power ballads and I can’t help but love them too. I smiled as I saw Riggs’ name pop up.
“Hello.”
“How’s my baby doing?”
“Riggs, when are you coming home?”
“Why? Is something wrong, Luna. Shit I’ll head out right now.”
I bit my lip and closed my eyes. The last thing he needed was to worry about me. “I just miss you, that’s all.”
“I miss you too, baby girl. I can’t wait to get home and sink my cock into you again.”
I smiled. “Is that all you think about?”
“Hey, there’s nothing wrong with thinking about your woman’s pussy when you’re out on the road. Makes the longing sweeter, and the sex will be so much better when I get home.”
I laughed as I heard his teasing tone. “You’re terrible.”
“I love to hear you laugh. Are you still working?”
“Yeah. We’re closing up.”
“Make sure Grayson or Seth take you home.”
“I know. Don’t worry,” I paused for a second before asking. “Is everything okay in Washington? Did you find Gunner?”
He stayed silent for a moment. “You shouldn’t concern yourself with club business, baby girl.”
“Sorry.”
“No, don’t apologize. I know you’re just asking if I’m okay. I’ll tell you this, we’re getting closer to finding that mother fucker of El Rubio.”
I bit down on my thumbnail. “Good. Just be careful.”
“Always, baby. Now go one and finish your shift. Go home and don’t forget to dream about me buried inside you tonight.”
I moaned softly. “Daddy, I always dream of you.”
He groaned, whispered how much he loved me and hung up.
Although I was relieved to hear his voice, that sense of dread still followed me around. I hurried back to help Rahyne. I busied myself with moving crates and replenishing the empty liquor bottles in order to keep myself from thinking of all the horrible scenarios that were running through my head.
