RAGE: President & First Lady Of The Death Dealers MC Page 63

by Alana Sapphire


  “Hey, Einstein.”

  I turn to find Ellen, Gage’s sister, smiling up at me. “Hey, beautiful. Great party you put together here.”

  She blushes. It can’t be because I called her beautiful, because I do that all the time. Maybe I’m misreading her expression. She must be flattered at the compliment about the reception. She’s just starting out, but from what I’ve seen, her event planning business will be a huge success.

  “Thanks. Um… wanna dance?”

  “Sure.”

  I take her hand, twirling her as I lead her to the dance floor. She giggles, but it’s cut short when I tug her into my arms. Hers curl around my neck as she leans in close.

  “You know, you fill out that suit pretty nicely, Dr. Emerson.”

  “Well, it can’t always be leather and jeans now, can it?”

  “I guess not.”

  She goes quiet, laying her cheek to my chest as we sway to the music. The scent of her perfume floats into my nostrils as I take a deep breath. It’s things like this that I look forward to when I have an old lady—holding her close, slow dancing to our favorite love song, falling asleep in each other’s arms.

  “Einstein?” Ellen says as she tips her face up to meet my gaze.

  “Hmm?”

  “How come we’ve never hooked up?”

  The question throws me off balance. Where is this coming from?

  “What do you mean?”

  “Come on. We’re a walking romance novel—the little sister and the brother’s best friend. Why hasn’t it happened?”

  “Well…” I pause, rattling the notion in my mind. “I guess I never looked at you that way.” Her eyes fall to my chest and I quickly catch myself. “You’re a beautiful woman, Ellen. It’s just… you’ve always been Gage’s little sister. I’ve never thought about it.”

  “Will you?” she asks, hope shining in her eyes.

  “Will I what?”

  “Think about it.”

  Clasping her hand in mine, I lead her out of the reception area to find a quiet place to talk. The place is packed, so I end up heading outside. When I find a secluded spot, I turn to face her.

  “Okay, talk to me, Ellen. What’s going on?”

  “What do you mean?”

  “I mean why, after all this time, you suddenly want to ‘hook up’?”

  “I’m just…” Her shoulders slump in resignation. “I’m lonely, E. It’s been four years since Eddie died. I need some human contact. Every guy I know keeps a wide berth because they’re afraid of Gage or Daddy. That, or they look at me and see Eddie’s old lady. I’m sick of it.”

  “Wait… Are you saying there’s been no one since Eddie?”

  “That’s exactly what I’m saying. I think my cooch is closing up from lack of use.”

  I chuckle, not only at her turn of phrase, but it proves she’s Gage’s sister. Just a few minutes ago he told me my dick will fall off for the same reason.

  “You think it’s funny?”

  “No, beautiful. I don’t.”

  “Why are we even talking right now?” She moves forward, sliding her hands under my jacket. “We could go back to your place. Mikey is staying with Chopper tonight.”

  “Ellen…” I carefully remove her hands.

  “Oh, God. Not you, too!” she exclaims in exasperation.

  “It’s not that. I’m not going to take advantage of you.”

  “You’re not. I want this. I just want to have some fun.”

  “You can’t—”

  “Can’t what?” she demands. “You’re cowards… the whole lot of you! Outlaw MC my ass. All the men in Stony View, too. If none of you want a ready and willing woman, I’ll just have to go out and find someone who does.”

  I grab her hand before she can storm off. “You need to be careful, Ellen. Everyone knows who you are. You know how many people out there would jump at a chance of getting back at the MC through you?”

  “Guess I’ll just have to go somewhere where no one knows me then, huh?”

  She twists out of my grip, marching back toward the building. Fuck me. I follow, intent on keeping a close eye on her. I wasn’t being dramatic. She could get into serious trouble. Especially since she’s so small. She can’t be more than 5ʹ3ʺ. Motherfuckers will look at that as a weakness.

  I wasn’t trying to brush her off, either. Ellen is gorgeous. All that thick, shiny brown hair, sapphire eyes, and a curvy body built for driving a man crazy. I did mean what I said, though. I’ve never seen her as more than Gage’s little sister. Hell, she’s been like a little sister to me.

  When I walk back into the reception hall, I find her working—talking to the caterer. Still, I’m not dismissing what she said. In her emotional state of mind, she might do something she’ll regret. I spot our new prospect by the buffet and head in his direction.

  “Prospect.”

  “Yes, sir.”

  His plate almost falls from his hand, but he catches it and gives me his full attention. I jerk my head in Ellen’s direction.

  “Keep an eye on her. From now on, you’re her shadow. You see anything out of the ordinary, you let me know. Got it?”

  “Yes, sir.”

  I hope she doesn’t make good on her threat, but if she does, I’ll be there to make sure she’s safe.
