I had spent the rest of the day with Lana and Bennie. They told me about everything they could about the club; everything they knew anyway. They told me there are things, as their 'old ladies' they will never know but it's to protect us; as well as them. If we don't know what they do, we can't testify against them and it keeps us from being grabbed by other MC's for info.

I found out that Seven and a couple of the members live in their own rooms in the large workshop, Cole and Ghost live inside the big ranch house because this was their place together before moving operations of the club out here to the property.

The others have their own places close by on the dirt roads surrounding Coles place.

I learned there are about five different prospects but Drew has the most time in and will most likely patch in soon. Cole trusts him very much and that's why he's been "assigned" you could say to watch over me.

When dinner came I helped Lana and Bennie make a bunch of side dishes in the kitchen while Duck and Seven grilled some steaks on the grill.

They eat together as a family, whatever members are here that is, will cook and eat together. I thought that was nice. Most of these guys had nothing and that's what lead them here to the club. They take in strays and give them a family. I guess that's why Cole is helping me. He can see how much I need it? I don't know?

So it was Duck, Seven and Drew along with, Lana, Bennie and myself at the table. The food was great and they seemed to welcome me in who no hesitation. After dinner Duck and Drew went off to do some business and Seven went to sleep so he could take the second watch. Leaving just me and the girls talking around a small fire in the fire pit.

"Night Seven, Thank you" I called to him as he trudged off to his room in the shop. He raised his hand up and waved.

Seven didn't have an old lady. He just slept with the woman who got passed around by the guys. They gave them protection and the girls gave them sex. These girls bounce from guy to guy, sometimes more than once a night.

"Well, what else do you want to know?" Lana asked then took a swig of her IPA beer

"I don't know? I think I've learned the ropes. I guess just one more...about Cole and me. Has Cole ever had a girlfriend?" I asked them both.

They both shook their head denying they had "No where near it. Am I going to sit and tell you he hasn't slept around? because you know the answer to that yourself. I told you they line up for him but even then he didn't knock boots with everything that dropped on their knees in front of him. Also, that being said he's never brought someone to his house let alone just move them right into his own bedroom!" She laughs "he's had women but never one like you" Bennie told me.

I believed her because she's been with Duck for years. Duck and Bennie were probably 5 years older than I was but just looked like they lived so much more life than I had. She had been with Duck and the club for close to 15 years she told me, so I believed her.

I rubbed my lips together and nodded "well, that's really good to know. I think I'm going to bed. I'm just exhausted and Cole wants to take me somewhere when he gets back. Goodnight" I said to them both as I stood up and stretched.

"Goodnight" They both called out behind me as I walked into the house.

When I got into Coles room I decided to put on a white silk cami top and a white thong because hard telling what time he will be here and this is more comfy. I put my gun on my bedside table, even with the club guys here I was still scared. That will never go away.

When I climbed into Coles big comfy bed I was comforted by his smell that lingered on his pillows. No thoughts in my brain tonight, I was exhausted and feel asleep immediately.

It's hot

My body felt like it was on fire as I was being pulled out of my sleep. Warmth and wet between my legs "mmm"

God that feels good

A warm, wet amazing sensation between my legs made my eyes fly open and I tried to sit up only to be held down by a big hand

"Lay back baby, it's just me" Cole whispered in the dark. He leaned forward and kissed me long and sensually before his hand pushed me back gently.

His head went right back in between my legs, his soft hair tickling my legs as he circled my clit relentlessly with his tongue, his fingers sliding right inside me. My moans echo off the walls and I was thankful only Lana and Ghost are inside.

Sucking and flicking his tongue against my bundle of nerves brings me right to the edge "Cole...I'm-

"Give it to me" he growled as he lifted his head up before immediately diving back in for me, latching right into my clit sucking and licking making me come undone under him, a string of incoherent words and moans leaving my mouth.

He kissed his way up to my lips before falling down next to me lifting his arm so I would lay on his chest.

Even though I know he won't tell me I ask Him anyway "Did everything go ok"

He brushed his fingertips along my bare ass up to the small of my back and back down as he held me.

"Yeah...Was everything ok here tonight?" He asked quietly

"Yes, we made dinner and the guys grilled steaks and we sat by the fire after dinner. Everyone was nice and every accepting. I had fun" I told him honestly

"Good. Let's get some sleep, I want to take you somewhere tomorrow and show you my place in the mountains. It's where we go to lay low sometimes. A good place to hide if you need it" he squeezed me and kissed my head "go to sleep"

"Okay" I pushed up off him but before I rolled over I lifted my head up to him and put my lips on his. The smacking of our lips echoed in the room for a few seconds before I pulled back.

"Night" I told him and rolled over on my left side.

I felt the bed shake and Coles arm reach over my side and bring me a little closer to him. He kissed my exposed shoulder "night baby, I loved you being in my bed when I get home by the way" he whispered in his panty dropping voice and kissed up my neck

I giggled a little "I love waking up like that. You have my full permission to do that every time you come home"

"You are a vixen Hailey. Go to sleep before we end up fuckin all night and sleep all day, missing out on the cabin that we could have all to our selves tomorrow night" he gave me one last kiss and settled behind me

"Why didn't you say that in the first place?" I chastised him

"Night Cole, I'm glad you're home safe"

His arm came back over my waist and he kept me safely to him making it easy to settle back into sleep.

A soft "night Hailey" was the last thing I heard before falling back to sleep.

"You fucking bitch" Ryan screams standing over me as I'm tied to the chair.

He punches my face again and I hear a crack this time and the metallic taste of blood floods into my mouth from the back of my throat. I think he broke my nose

"Please-please Ryan I can't take anymore. I'm sorry" I beg as my legs and arms bound to the chair and I'm unable to move

"That's right you're sorry. You're a sorry cunt!" He screams again and grabs a knife off the table in the basement.

Then he goes behind me slicing the tape and rope off my wrists. He made sure I wasn't going anywhere.

He yanked me off the chair by my hair and threw me to the cold hard-cement floor. "Please Ryan don't" my hoarse voice begged him.

He stood over me and started punching me. Left...then his right hand... then back to his left. I thrashed under him trying to protect myself.

"

"Hailey! Wake up! Wake up baby you're ok" Something was shaking me as I thrashed in the covers. I reached for my gun

But I was tackled down on the mattress and held there.

"he screamed trying to pull me out of it

"Cole?" I choked out of my dry throat in a whimper and clutched him tight to me.

"I gotchu baby...you're ok" he soothed into my ear as he rubbed up and down my back

"Come here. You're safe with me" he pulled my body with his arms and I let him pull me into his lap, he just held me.

"The is probably a dumb question but was that a nightmare about him, Ryan?" Cole asked softly

"Yes, when he beat me in the chair. It was so real Cole. I could taste the blood in my mouth" I told him as I lay my head on his chest.

I glanced out the window and I could just see the light of dawn.

"The suns about the rise" I told him "I think I'm going to go out by the fire pit and watch it. I don't think I'll be able to go back to sleep but you should babe, You were out late" I told him as I rubbed the stubble on his face. I just needed a few minutes to myself outside to think.

"How about you go out and I'll make us some coffee, we will watch the sunrise and then hit the road. It's 7 hours to Tahoe"

"Lake Tahoe?!" I ask excitedly "I always wanted to go there, it looks so pretty. We get the place to ourselves? I get you all to myself?" I asked him kissing his jawline

"All of me baby. I'm all yours" his deep sexy voice dripped as leaned to kiss me

"I haven't brushed my teeth" I tell him as I pulled back

"I don't give a shit. Bring those hot vixen-lips over here" Cole demanded

My lips tugged into a smile and I softly put my lips to his plump tasty lips. His arms tightened around me and he groaned into my mouth when our mouths opened, my wet tongue gliding around his warm wet mouth.

It was a jello-leg kiss that curled my toes.

I knew where this would go and I really did need some air. So I pulled back first but not before I bit and sucked on his bottom lip.

"Coffee" I tell him and he sighs

"Right" He lets me go from his kung fu grip

I slid out of bed and pulled up my cut off Levi jean short and threw a Harley tee on. Cole watched me as he leaned back against the head rest.

"Hey babe, do you have a joint rolled? Or a smoke? I need to calm my nerves" I asked him and grabbed my gun, tucking it into the back of my shorts. I didn't want to sit in the dark outside alone without my gun.

"You're so sexy" Cole told as he grabbed my hips having gotten off the bed. I looked down and a half laugh half scoff came out of my mouth.

"Cut off shorts, tee and my hair probably looks like a birds nest?" I say

"And a gun, Baby, you're just naturally sexy" he tells me as he peppers my neck with his sensual kisses for a few seconds before letting me go and intertwined our fingers.

He pulled me to his desk and opened the top left drawer to reveal a cigar box.

"Always have stuff in here. Help yourself, flower only, no powder baby. I don't allow that" his voice was his authority voice

"Never would mess with powder" I pecked his lips and grabbed a fat blunt and a bic.

"Thanks, Don't take to long" I looked out to the window, it was maybe 10 minutes to sunrise "you'll miss it" I smiled at him

"I'll be quick. Cream and sugar right?" He asked as he opened his bedroom door

"Mhm" I hummed walking towards the door
