Now it was Delilah’s turn to lunge forward. Grabbing a chunk of the bleach-blonde’s hair she ripped an extension right out, and grinned when Pinkie screamed. The sound of boots slamming down the hall pierced the anger Delilah felt, but no way was she letting her hold go. She yanked Pinkie forward and dragged her out of the room and down the hall. Ace and Vain moved out of her way with hands in the air, and when she reached the main floor where everyone was partying she stopped.
“Brack, tell this bitch to let me go.”
Her father knitted his brows. “What’s going on, Delilah?”
“No, Dad. This slut has had this a long time coming now.” Pinkie gave another little shriek of outrage. She leaned in close to the Cherry’s ear and said, “See, honey. No one has respect for a girl that doesn’t care about anything but some deep dicking.” With that she finished making her way toward the front door, pulled it open, and tossed her ass outside. Before she shut the door she turned around and addressed the members. “Do any of you want to claim this piece of shit as an Old Lady, or is everyone good with her ass getting banned from the clubhouse?” There was a collective silence, and then everyone murmured that they were not getting involved with female disputes. Good. She turned back to Pinkie, who was now standing and glaring at her with her hands on her hips. “Don’t come back unless you want me to beat your ass again.” She turned to one of the prospects. “Take her home.”
Marson nodded and moved past Delilah.
She slammed the door closed and instantly felt more at ease. Everyone stared at her, and she thought maybe they’d bitch because she had overstepped some line, but in unison they threw their heads back and started laughing.
“Damn, Delilah. Didn’t know you had that kind of spunk in you.” Ace ruffled her hair and grinned down at her.
Vain pulled her to his side and patted her shoulder. “I was wondering when you’d finally get around to holding your own with her.”
She elbowed him in the ribs and he grunted. Everyone moved to the bar for a round of shots, but she stayed back and saw Torque leaning against the wall. He had his shirt and cut back on, but there were some splatters of blood on the white tee from his busted lip. He pushed off the wall and moved toward her, and when he was right in front of her reached out and took hold of the back of her neck.
“Is it wrong to admit that you kicking Pinkie’s ass turned me on?” Torque grinned.
Pinkie’s words played through her head.
“What she said—” He cut her off with a firm shake of his head.
“If I wanted easy, loose pussy I would have gotten that and wouldn’t have gone up against the club president for rights to have you to myself.”
She knew this, and also knew that they could have easily voted on taking his patch. It was a slippery slope when a member went against the “rules”, and she also knew that each chapter had different standards. He had risked a lot to make it known that she wasn’t just a piece for him, but still she had seen brothers getting it on with a Cherry when their Old Lady was at home. That was not something she was going to stand, and she wanted to know upfront, and not when her heart was already too deep in the mix.
“Woman, you’ll listen to me loud and clear. What I want is you, and only you. Maybe I didn’t realize that until right now, but I sure as hell have been thinking about it, and trying to bury that shit deep down. I am not used to feeling these things, but I do know that I can’t walk away from you or what we could have.” He brushed his thumb along her cheekbone.
“Everyone is watching.”
He shook his head and stared into her eyes. “I don’t give a shit who is watching. Let them get a fucking eyeful. The important thing is that I would never fuck around on you. Ever, Delilah. There isn’t any question about that, yeah?”
She swallowed the emotion down, and blocked out everything else aside from Torque and the words he was saying. “How would this work with you being a Nomad and on the road constantly? We’d never see each other.” It took him several seconds to answer, but she didn’t get the feeling that what he was going to say would suck.
“I don’t know, baby. I have thought about settling down with a charter, this one in particular, but always pushed that back because I didn’t want to be tied down.”
“And now?” She held her breath.
“Well, I think there might be something worth settling down for. I can’t guarantee I’ll be easy to deal with. I’m stubborn and can be an asshole on the best of days, but I’m willing to try and do this…whatever this is.” He grinned and cupped both of her cheeks in his big hands. “Besides, I saw a piece of property for sale right when I entered Rush Falls. Maybe that was a sign that I need to plant some roots, huh?”
“I think I’d like if you planted some roots, Torque.”
He continued to rub his thumbs over her cheeks, and had this almost lost look on his face.
“What?”
“Noting. It’s just that I could get so lost in you. Hell, I’m already halfway there.”
Her heart hiccupped a little at his words.
“Either get a room or come over here and join us in a round of shots,” Ace called out.
“Ain’t no one getting a fucking room,” Brack growled out right before he threw a shot back. He may have backed off a little, giving her the room she needed to see if what her and Torque had would last, but she knew he wouldn’t be fully onboard with it. She was his little girl, and always would be. Maybe he thought she was making a mistake, but that was her mistake to make, and one she would have to learn from.
Torque took her hand and gave it a little squeeze. He led them over to the bar, and just like that the guys started bullshitting. This was her family, would always be her family, and she was damn lucky to be a part of it. If someone would have told her that she’d be standing here with Torque holding her hand, her dad and the others all standing around them not knocking his teeth out because of it, she would have called them all damn liars. Maybe she’d wake up and realize this was all one fucked-up dream, but until then she’d enjoy one hell of a ride.
