Getting back to the compound, they went straight into church. King knew that as soon as Duke saw the photos of Nicole from when she spent time with Riot, shit would escalate rapidly. He looked forward to it. All those Riot bastards needed taking out and every hour they weren’t was another hour that Bianca was in danger. Duke and Prez were looking at something on a laptop when they noticed them stood there.
“Anything?” Prez asked.
“Nothing that helps. Did find these though.” King threw the photos on the table.
He knew the second Duke spotted the ones of Nicole. He jumped out of his seat, picked it up and threw the heavy wooden chair against the wall. He stood with his back to them, his body heaving and fists clenching. Nicole had never gone into detail about what punishments Riot handed out to her when she was with them for collateral. Well, now she didn’t need to as it was clear as fucking day in the pictures.
“Any news on this Dane guy? Got a feeling if we find him we’ll find a few of these fuckers.”
This was why Prez was the President. He was the only calm and rational person in the room at the moment. Of course, it wasn’t his old lady in the pictures. He’d sure as fuck be different if it was Shel looking out at him from the pictures, broken and battered.
“Not yet. Waiting on a few loose ends.” Digger answered through his clenched teeth. King could feel the tension rolling from the three of them. They needed this shit sorting. “Going to tug on a few today, see if we get anything back.”
“You been to pick up Bianca’s shit from her place yet?”
“No. We’ll go now.”
To be honest they were putting it off because they knew Bianca would want to go with them and they didn’t want her leaving the compound.
Back in their room they found Bianca lying on the bed, fast asleep. She was half on her stomach and side with one leg bent and her hands tucked under her chin. Her long blonde hair flowing across the pillow, shining even in the dim light. Her towel had come undone and was draped across her hiding just enough from their view to be the single most erotic thing he’d ever seen.
He pulled out his phone and took a photo – this vision was definitely worth recording for future use. He silently made a promise that he would take a photo of her happy and relaxed to replace every one of those fucking disgusting ones they’d found earlier.
He sat on the edge of the bed and stroked her mostly uncovered leg. He knew all three of them were transfixed on the sight of her stirring. She cuddled deeper into the bed before turning more towards them. Her eyes fluttered open and the blue sparkled with contentment. She smiled sleepily and he felt his heart stumble. If she wasn’t so fucking sexy, he’d say she was adorable. He had to fight the urge to lay down beside her and fall into the peacefulness that would surely be found there.
“Angel, as much as its killing me to say, you need to get up and dressed.”
“Why?” she yawned, showing them all of her teeth.
She reached out her hands, wanting to touch them and pull them to her. He grasped one and Bones the other. He loved the feeling of her little hand in his.
“We’re going to your apartment. We figured you’d want your own things. Plus, we can pack up your stuff and put it in storage. You won’t be going back there anyway.”
She nodded in response, yet looked unsure. It wasn’t surprising. That was her home and its not like they had a house to move her into.
Duke had floated the idea of building a house on the compound’s unused land and it had been wildly popular with all the brothers. They’d already picked a large corner plot as theirs and soon they could start building their forever home. It’d take a few months but they’d have to manage until then. He could picture their massive master bedroom in his head and the rest of the bedrooms built for their eventual kids.
They wouldn’t be rebuilding the burnt out house, they’ll take the insurance money and use it to furnish the new house. Although they did need to go back to see what could be salvaged from the ashes. Maybe, they’d just send the prospects to do that.
He pulled Bianca up and indulged in a long kiss he felt all the way to his cock. He silently promised his dick that he’d be taken care of later. She kissed Digger and Bones and then made her way into the bathroom with a pile of clothes.
“She’s going to find this hard,” Bones stated, looking regretfully towards the closed bathroom door.
