Chapter Thirty-Eight: Back to Work As Usual
Arson
Carson. I can’t believe he has been alive all this time, but here is sitting across from me while he and Lock sit side by side in front of the computers. Back to work as usual with no time to wrap our heads around the bomb that exploded at Carson being ALIVE.
All this time and here he is not dead. I wish Doc Fox wasn’t my damn boss because I would love to pound him for keeping the secret of his little nephew being alive and well all this time. Seven years. That’s how long it’s been but it feels closer to double that if you ask me. I’m mostly angry at him for what his death did to Carley.
Lachlan is keeping an eye on Jase, Ransom, JT, Jensen, and Weston via the security feed while Storm and I are the in the van just in case they need backup. The Ravagers are looking to recruit, and our job is to make sure the prince sits on the throne sooner rather than later. We first infiltrate and then figure out the best route to take to remove

JaseMy team is assigned to intercept a drug shipment so that it lands in the Ravager’s lap instead of going to their rival the Damned Forsaken, a crew we have already infiltrated. At least the job to get in the crew will be easy enough and we may not have to spill blood either.We have infiltrated the Damned Forsaken once before. That job almost cost us Lachlan at the end of it. The difference between these jobs the family member wants the leader dead this time.“So you’re Alpha? Gator said you’re the one I need to talk to,” I lift my eyes from my food to find Slater Zen and Camden McCoy looking down at me.“Yeah, I’m him. So Gator is your original contact? I hold a great deal of respect for the man,” I say with a shark’s grin. They both pull up chairs, sitting in them so that their arms rest against the backs of the chairs.“I met him in the ring. It’s the fi

Carley “Sawyer has really turned her dad’s place and she just started college. You will be so proud of her,” Carmen says as we drink yet cup of boozy coffee. “So, have you locked Jeremy down yet?” I ask as we drink yet another cup of boozy coffee. She is crushing on the guy working at the bar with her friend Sawyer. He is a bouncer while Sawyer is training under her dad to take over. She blushes. “No,” she slurs. “I can’t tell if it’s me he likes me or Sawyer. What’s there not to like about Sawyer? She is gorgeous and brilliant when it comes to running a business already. She is going to be an awesome mom.” “C? Have you looked in the mirror lately? You’re gorgeous too and you don’t have the baggage that S does. She is taking over the bar to secure a future for her daughter. She is a teenage mother who had to give up the dancing she loved so much. Let’s face it, Nate isn’t a saint, and one of these days he is going to find himself in p

Chapter 42: Greater PlansLachlanI should be helping Jase cook or help everyone decorate but I’m currently up in the loft sitting on a stool in front of an easel. The view of Jase in Mrs. Channing’s kitchen cooking a Thanksgiving feast alongside Dominic Zanetti is something I felt the need to capture, so now I’m painting it for Jase. I’ve never seen this man so happy since we were kids. I’ve missed this sight of my family, all of them smiling and joking. Even Ransom’s eyes are sparking with laughter and his ‘I’ll you for fun’ smile is not in sight, just his rare genuine one as he glances between watching Carley and Jase.Ransom and Jase have always been close, but I’ve noticed a dynamic shift in their relationship lately. Soft touches and hushed words are exchanged as if they went from closer than brothers, or friends, to lovers. Which is fine with me. I don’t mind. I love my friends. I also mind don’t rubbing against one another during sex. Weston and I used to share girls all the t
C.H.A.O.S. Chapter Forty-Two: Family and Foreboding
JaseI almost forgot what it was like to cook alongside Dominic Zanetti, who is a five-star chef that specializes in Italian cuisine. It’s been at least two years, seeing as how last year it was just Lachlan, Weston, and I while Ransom had already gone to his job in that prison. Dominic and I perform well as a team in the kitchen, understanding what each of us needed in order to prepare the meal. Dominic and I started on it last night. We both brought some items that were prepared last night, but we still had a ton of food to cook this morning in Mrs. Channing’s kitchen. Not that either of us minded since we both brought all of our ingredients and we have been discussing doing a large thanksgiving feast this year since last month. He is still attempting to get me to be his sous chef, but as much as I enjoy cooking for my family, it’s not my passion. Ransom sits beside me at the large tables we have put together to sit almost twenty people for this giant Thanksgiving feast. Chaos is o

Carley By the end of the meal, everyone is spread out around the property. My uncle and his family are outside around the fire pit drinking whiskey with Lidia and granddad Leo, while mom is in the living room with Tempest listening to their tells of what Carson had been like as the teenager they grew up with. As for me and Chaos, we are in the loft of course. Lachlan is working on his painting while I’m stretched out on the couch with my head in Arson’s lap and my feet in Weston’s. Arson is massaging my head, which feels so amazing that I don’t even care about him ruining the arduous work I did this morning curling it. Storm even had to shower behind me while I did so. He is becoming more of a brother figure to me as time goes on with us living together. Mix Arson’s head massage with the foot massage Weston is giving me and I am done for. Completely content and relaxed. “Keep moaning like that and we are all about to have our dicks out,” Ransom snick

LachlanThe air is ripe with tension as Carson finishes his story about him seeing me being stabbed repeatedly by the kid brother of this gang they had infiltrated three years prior, killing the kid’s brother, who had done some horrible things in his time as a gang leader. We had infiltrated that same gang, the Damned Forsaken, years prior. C.H.A.O.S. killed Razor Grothman’s older brother. Razor was a teenage kid at the time.“So what were you doing, Lock?” Carley asks me.“I was on my way home from the art gallery that had just opened up featuring my favorite artist. I

Lachlan“What did he want you guys to do?” Carly questions.“Take turns with his girl. She was off her tits on some drug the crew had been pushing. She displeased him again, so her punishment was the upper members of the crew running train of her while she was strapped down and helpless to defend herself,” Storm says with dark eyes and his jaw tense as he ground out those words.“We were caught trying to get her out and away from what he wanted to do to her. I was his second,” JT says with a grimace and a shudder.“Tempest was part of his inner circle, and we did what we had to maintain our cover, but that...” Jensen’s voice trails off. After a moment he clears his throat before continuing. “Killing is one thing we can do that is as easy as breathing, but not that.”“We knew that girl. We went to high school with her. How she ended up in Texas, we have no idea.

CarlyJensen should have kept his mouth shut when Uncle Jax spoke instead of questioning him.All my boys gather around Lachlan and me to keep us out of harm’s way as Uncle Jax stalks over to Jensen with a manic rictus on his handsome face. He pulls a bundle of bright pink rope out from underneath his shirt at the base of his spine.Oh boy, my uncle and his Shibari. I was staying the night with Uncle Ryder one weekend, and I walked in on him, Uncle Tee, and Aunt Ali all beautifully tied up in different positions. Uncle Jax and Uncle Dom were both in the middle of artfully tying Uncle Cal’s arms behind his back. I didn’t want to intrude on them, so I went back downstairs and then called JT to talk me through the problem that was caused because of it. They wouldn’t hear me since they were too busy anyway.“If you want, babe, I can tie the guys up. Well everyone but Ransom. Sidhe taught me,” Arson purrs in
