“There not in there.” I whisper yell to everyone.
Toby and Benny look around the hallway to the backdoor. “Benny, you stay with the girls, I’m going to check out the backdoor.” Toby responds.
Toby makes his way out the door and a few minutes later Benny’s looking at his phone. “Let’s go. Toby found Ginger.” He corrals us out the door.
When we all breach the door, I see Ginger who is slumped in Toby’s arms with blood streaming down her forehead. I run over to her.
“Ginger, are you alright?” She whimpers when I touch the side of her face. “What happen?”
“Some guy put his hand around my mouth in the bathroom and dragged me out the backdoor. He pulled out a gun and then when I tried to get away from him, he hauled off and busted me in the head. I don’t know what else happen until Toby got to me.”
I take my phone out of my back pocket and make the dreaded call to Ryker.
“Baby girl.” He answers hastily.
“We got a problem.”
Chapter 8
Chase
Jake and I have been at the clubhouse most of the day chilling out with my brothers and some of the club kids. He left a few hours ago with Queenie who took Rory, Tate and Lyla to their house for a sleepover since the women are partying in Atlanta with the Prospects.
I’m not sure how I feel about them being in Atlanta with just the Prospects watching them, but I can’t complain too much since none of them are mine, and Ryker allowed Dani to go even though he has been pacing the main room for an hour now.
A phone starts ringing and I look around to see Ryker staring at his phone with a scowl.
“Motherfucker. I’m going to beat her ass.” He yells.
“What the fuck!” Trigger’s next to bellow.
“Fuckin’ A, I wish I was invited on this trip to Atlanta.” Spook whistles.
I pull out my phone and that’s when I realize I’ve had it on silent. I pull up the message from Toby and almost drop my phone on my hardening cock. All the women look stunning, but the one that has my attention is the one I’ve been trying to avoid. Lily’s a bombshell in her leather dress with her ample tits pushed high and cleavage spilling over the top that’s perfect for motor-boating. Her thick long blonde hair fanning out over one shoulder and her face is perfection. Her honey-colored eyes are lite up and the biggest smile is ever present on her face. The dress stops mid-thigh and her tan legs are on full display. The kicker is those sexy as sin pink sandals that lace up her calf.
I’m so lost in my fantasy of having Lily spread in front of me with her legs draped over my shoulders and her heels digging into my back, I miss the conversation the guys are having.
“You gotta love the wave their giving.” Spook laughs.
“I’m still gonna make her ass red with my hand.” Ryker grunts.
“Fuck, who all got that text.” I ask the guys as I look around and see all sixteen of them with their faces buried in their phones. “Let me guess, all of you fuckers have that picture.” I say irritated.
“And?” Trigger questions.
“And…I don’t need ya’ll looking at Lily.” I can’t stop the words before they leave my mouth. They all gape at me and then some of them glare.
“What the fuck are you going on about, Chase?” Spook asks with a little bit of possession in his voice.
“I don’t know, but for some reason, I’m getting really aggravated that ya’ll have a picture of my Lily.” Yep, I went there. I get up and start pacing.
“Um, when did she become your Lily?” Trigger grunts.
“Yeah, when did that happen, because last time I checked, you couldn’t stand her and you had your dick stuffed in Ginger’s mouth, who I might say looks pretty damn good in this picture to.” Spook replies.
“Well…since I looked at a picture of her tits spilling out of her dress and her legs on display. And don’t get me started on the image of what her full ass looks like in that dress.”
“So, ya claiming her?” Ryker asks.
“What? No, I’m not claiming any bitch as my ol’ lady, but I sure as hell don’t want you dirty fuckers tainting Lily.”
“Us…tainting Lily.” Spook says as he looks off into the room, gathering his thoughts. “And how would you not be tainting her? You’re one of the dirtiest motherfuckers I know.”
“Shit, I don’t know. I don’t even know what’s wrong with me right now. She isn’t my type normally, but fuck man, that outfit has me all kinds of possessive and wanting to ride my ass up there and take her.”
Before any of us can comment on leaving, our phones ding and motherfucker, I’m going to spank Lily’s ass. Toby’s sent us a video of Lily and the girls on the dance floor. Fucking Freek-A-Leek is blaring, but the only thing that has my attention is Lily. She has a guy behind her and one in front. The guy in the front has his face planted in my tits. The guy behind her is grinding on my ass. And what’s Lily doing. My bitch is grinding right back. She’s got her index finger in her mouth sucking and her fingers buried in the guy’s hair in front of her, guiding him closer.
“I second that riding up there. Shit, we could be there in thirty minutes if we push it a little.” Ryker states eagerly.
“Fuck it.” Trigger states and Spook throws up his hands like he’s game.
We make our way out to parking lot. Spook, Marc, Professor and I straddle our bikes, while Ryker and Trigger get into his F250. We head away from the clubhouse like a caravan with Ryker’s truck in front and four Harleys following.
***
We probably have about ten minutes left in our trip when Ryker pulls over at a gas station and stops. I pull up to the driver’s side, turn off my bike and look at him expectedly.
“Why are we stopping?”
“Lily’s been taken.” That’s all I need to hear before I start up my bike and speed off.
I pull into the hotel and dismount quickly. Running inside, avoiding people and slamming into the elevator with the guys hot on my tail.
When we make it to their floor, we’re met by Benny and Toby who look shook up.
“Tell me what the fuck happen.” I growl.
“Ginger and Lily went to the bathroom and when they didn’t come back, Dani came and got us and we all went to look for them. I found Ginger out back. She’d been hit over the head by some guy and Lily was nowhere to be found.”
I shove him to the side and go to the room where the girls are hold up. Entering the room, I spot Ginger sitting on the edge of bed. When she sees me, she runs and jumps into my arms.
“You came for me. I was so scared. He could’ve taken me too, Chase.” I shhh her, but her words make me want to drop her ass. Does she honestly think she’s more important than Lily is in this moment. I set her down on her feet and walk around her to Dani.
“I’m sorry. This is my fault. I wanted to have a night out with the girls, away from the club and I shouldn’t have been so selfish.” Dani croaks out while tears fill her eyes.
“It’s not your fault, Dani. He could’ve taken her in Cumming. We just know now he’s been doing more than stalking her at the bar and sending presents. He’s been following her everywhere.”
Professor’s sitting on the couch with his laptop out on the coffee table typing away. He looks up. “Her cell is on and at a standstill. I don’t know if he threw it out or she still has it on her. I’m praying she has it on her.”
“Has anyone called it?” I ask. The girls and the Prospects shake their heads no.
“It’s on the move.” Professor proclaims. “This is good.”
We sit and watch the dot on the screen move for about five minutes and then it stops. Dani’s cell begins ringing and she looks at it.
“Lily!” She screams and I move closer to her to take the phone. Before I can snatch the phone from her, she brings it down to stare at it. “She hung up, but not until after I heard a man yelling her name. I think she got away.”
“Professor, what’s the location?”
I bellow.
“It’s off of Chamblee Tucker road. I think he has her at the Motel 6.” He responds.
I start walking towards to the door to leave with determination to find my woman. “Professor, can you send me updates. I’m heading that way.”
“No can do, brother. I’m going with you. We don’t know the extent he’s willing to go to keep her.”
“Fine, but we need to go now. We don’t know how much longer she can hide.”
Ryker and Trigger stay with the girls while the rest of us, even the Prospects, head out.
Chapter 9
Lily
I wake with a start or as much as one can with a splitting headache. I try to move my arms, but they’re stuck together with a zip tie. I rotate my head on the pillow and take in the seedy motel David has stuck me in. I’m not sure how long I’ve been here but it couldn’t have been too long because it’s still dark outside.
“You’re finally awake.” His voice grates on my nerves. I slowly turn my head to face him as he’s sitting in a chair in the corner with his gun on his thigh.
“Why am I here, David?”
“Because when you left, you ruined my life. I had it all. I had you at home to take care of the house and me. I had bitches on the side that would fuck me hard and rough like I like it. I had my job. Everything was great until you grew a conscious and decided you were better than me. Well, your little vacation is over. You’re going back to Tampa with me and you’re going to do as I tell you. You’ll stay home, no need to work once I get my job back. You’ll be a good little housewife.” He grits out.
I just lay there staring at this man I once loved with everything I was who now is nothing but a crazed psychopath. I turn my head to stare at the ceiling. I have to figure a way to get out of here. I wiggle around on the bed and realize my cell is still wedged between my boobs. At least, I have that if I get out of this shitty motel room.
I’m not sure how long I lay in silence, when my bladder starts screaming to be emptied.
“David?”
“What?” He grunts.
“I need to use the bathroom.”
“Not happening.”
“You know how I get when I’ve been drinking. Please let me go to the bathroom. I promise I’ll pee and not give you any issues.”
He stands slowly and pulls a knife out of his pocket. “If you so much as think about fighting me, I’ll ram this knife into your gut and watch you bleed out.”
I nod my head. “I promise.”
He cuts the ties off my wrist and helps me to my feet. He pushes me into the bathroom. I’m surprised he closes the door, but I’ll take his stupidity. I creep up on the door handle and quietly turn the lock. I go over to the window and look out. We are at ground level so it shouldn’t be hard to climb out of the window.
I turn the water on in the sink and then slowly open the window. I’ve got my upper body outside of the window when he starts banging on the door.
“Goddamnit, Lily. Open this fucking door. I’m not playing around.” He shouts.
I finally have my entire body out of the window and I’m crouched on the ground. I look around and see a gas station not that far away. I take off in that direction when I hear heavy footsteps approaching. I quickly hide in an alley behind a trashcan.
Pulling my phone out, I dial Dani. She picks up after a couple rings. “Lily.” Before I can answer, I hear David screaming my name. I hang up the phone and start running down the opposite side of the alley.
After I’ve made it out the mouth of the alley, I run as fast as I can to the gas station. The clerk looks at me strangely as I bust through the door. She’s in her mid-fifties, short, long graying blonde hair and for a woman of her age has a nice body.
“Honey, are you alright?” She asks.
“I need a place to hide until my friends can come and get me.” I try to say while panting, out of breath.
“Do I need to call the police?” I wish, but I know that the club’ll want to handle this.
“No, my friends will be here soon. I just need to make sure the right friends come.”
“Okay, honey. There’s an office in the back and if anyone comes in looking for ya, I haven’t seen ya.”
I follow her to the back office. When she is about close the door, I hug her. “Thank you.” I whisper in her ear.
“Honey, don’t thank me until you are out of here safe.”
Once she leaves, I pull my cell out again and call Dani. Instead of Dani answering, it’s a man.
“Lily, its Ryker. Where are you, Sweets.”
“I’m at a gas station. I don’t know where I am but I know there’s a motel close. I’m hiding in the back office.”
“Okay, you hang tight. I’m gonna call the guys and get them too you as soon as I can.”
“Okay.” I croak.

Chase
My brothers and I have been laying low a mile or two from a Motel 6. We’re hoping this is where he has her, but the longer we wait the more frustrated I get and just want to kick open all the doors to the rooms. I’ll give it another 10 minutes.
Before the ten minutes are up, my phone chimes. “Yeah.” I answer.
“She’s at a gas station not far from a motel.” Ryker explains. “She’s hiding out in the back. Once you get there, call her cell and she’ll come to you.”
I look further down the street and see gas pumps. Starting up my bike and waving for my brothers to follow, we slowly make our way to the gas station, checking out the surrounding areas as we go.
Once I’m there, I park on the dark side of the store, pull out my cell and dial Lily.
“Hello.” A quiet voice answers.
“Babe, its Chase. I’m on the side of the store. Can you come out?”
“Um, can you come in and I’ll meet you at the front?” She whispers.
“Sure, Babe. Coming in now.” I get off my bike and tell my brothers I’ll be right back. They give me chin lifts while scoping out the area.
As soon as I’m through the door, I’m slammed back by a warm body with a head full of matted blonde hair. “Lil.” I growl as I wrap her up in my arms. I pull back and check her for injuries. The only things I notice are blood on the side of her head and whelps on her wrist. That bastard’s going to pay for this. “You good, babe?”
She nods her head as her eyes leak tears. “Can we get out of here please?” I take her hand, but before I can lead her out, she goes to the cashier and hugs her, whispering thank you in her ear.
“Not a problem, honey.” She looks at me. “You take care of her you hear.”
“I will, ma’am. Thank you for letting her hide out. If you ever need anything you call the Southern Chaotic’s.”
“You tell Buzzard Madalene says hi.” She says with a smile.
“I’ll do that.”
I walk out of the store with Lily tucked tight to my side. You can feel the tension release from my brothers once they put eyes on Lily. Every one of them comes over and pulls her into a hug. Her and Toby hug a little too long for my liking.
“Let’s get her back to the hotel.” I say pointedly to my brothers who are chatting like a bunch of grandmas. I know they’re worried but I want to get Lily into the comfort and safety of the hotel.
When we finally arrive to one of the suites the girls have, Dani and Sadie take Lily to the bathroom to shower and check her wounds. I’m glad their taking care of her, but I wanted to be the one to coddle her.
Ginger keeps putting her hands on me and the more I shake them off, the closer she gets. She’s never been this clingy before or maybe I just never noticed it because I was always attuned to just fucking her. Now with my mind strictly on Lily, I don’t want anyone to touch me but her.
“Ginger, please go hover over someone else.” I grit out.
She huffs. “What the fuck, Chase? I’ve been through some major shit tonight and your being a dick.”
I take her by her shoulders and turn her to face
me head on. “Bitch, I think Lily had it worse than you. You might’ve been knocked out, but you weren’t dragged off and kidnapped.” I release her and she stumbles back.
“Fuck you, Chase. Next time you want some of this,” she waves her arms down her body like she’s fucking Vanna White, “find it somewhere else. I’m done being your cum dumpster.” She turns on her heel and out the door.
“Don’t you think that was a little harsh?” Spook questions.
“Nope, I never claimed her and we weren’t exactly friends. We fucked, Spook. I don’t need anything else jeopardizing what I want with Lily. I’m done with bullshit. I finally have a prize in my sights and I’m not stopping until I get it. It all changed tonight not knowing if we would get her back or what the fuck he was doing to her. I can’t let her go thinking she isn’t worthy of being protected and cherished.”
“Well fuck me. Little Chase is becoming a man.” Trigger laughs.
“Fuck ya’ll.” I growl.
“I getcha, Chase. Before I had Dani back that’s all I wanted. A good time. Get my dick wet and move on. But when you’ve got a connection with someone like I do with Dani, it’s hard to pass up. Just remember what happen tonight and the time you’ve pissed away fucking whores, and make every day from here on out with her the best she’ll every have.” Ryker declares.
“I’ll try my best. I’ve been the ‘hit em and quit em’ guy for so long, and I’ve never had a serious relationship, so if I start fucking up, I need ya’ll to kick my ass and set me straight.”
Before our conversation can get anymore in ‘Tamponland,’ the girls come out of the bathroom. Sadie’s in front with Dani taking up the back and Lily sandwiched in between.
She makes eye contact with me and gives me a small smile. I’ll accept that for now. She takes a seat on the couch while Dani gets her a bottle of water from the kitchenette and Sadie searches around her purse for what I can assume ibuprofen.
Once they have her situated, they take a seat next to her and the rest of us surround her.
“Babe,” she glances at me and then around to the rest of the brothers, “do you know who took you?” I ask her gently.
