There was a light tap on the door and Nicole stepped inside with a couple of plates piled high with sandwiches. If anyone knew how Bianca would be feeling it would be Nicole. Her arm was still bandaged from where her own father had shot her in the arm before kidnapping her for Riot.
She shot them all a small smile, “Please tell her when she wakes up that if she wants someone to talk to, I’m here. I’ll be lucky to leave the club before these boys get here if Duke has his way, so I’ll be around.”
Digger reached out and let his hand rest on her bump. He found it amazing that there were three babies in there. He didn’t know how Nicole would be able to move around if she got much bigger. He felt them roll and kick under his hand. Duke was a lucky bastard.
“Thanks, Nic.”
She gave them each a quick kiss on the cheek, “Make sure you eat. I’ve left soup in a bowl in the fridge for Bianca if she wants something warm when she wakes up.” She shot a sorrowful look at Bianca and left.
“She’s a good woman,” Bones rumbled.
“She’ll make a good friend for Bianca,” King agreed.
They turned the couch to better face the bed and switched the TV on low and ate the food. The last thing they wanted to do was wake Bianca up. You don’t feel pain when you’re sleeping.
It was a couple of hours later when Bianca started to stir. They all jumped up and moved onto the bed, petting her and kissing her awake. She let out a quiet moan that filled his cock. He had to fight the impulse to bury himself inside her, assuring himself that she was okay.
“I’m okay guys.” Bianca whispered out and pulled their hands to her face to kiss and snuggled into them.
Her soft lips touching his skin soothed a part of his soul that still felt raw. She went to turn onto her back and winced, sucking air through her teeth. Digger flinched at her pain. He spotted the bottle of pills Slam had left on the bedside table. He got two out and passed them over for her to take. Bones helped her skooch up the bed and propped her up using all the pillows. She swallowed the pills and slumped back, she was still a bit dozy and tired.
“Are you all okay? Were you hurt?” her voice tremored as she wrapped her arms around King’s arm.
“No, angel. We’re fine, don’t worry.” King assured her while pressing a kiss to the top of her head. “You seem okay with everything that happened.”
“I guess I am. If Dane is still trying to hurt me that means he still can’t find Maggie and Brandon, which makes this all worth it.”
Digger wanted to disagree but he could see her point. Luckily, she hadn’t brought up searching for her sister. It would be too dangerous right now and didn’t want to have to tell her no. This Dane clearly had more reach than any of them anticipated.
He’d got a few of the more inconspicuous brothers doing a bit of digging, which is weird as that’s usually his speciality, hence his road name. There was no way for Bianca to be safe until Dane was dead and buried. Until then they had to assume he had eyes everywhere and the money to outsource his violent requests.
Bianca and Bones both yawned at the same time. Bianca giggled and said, “jinx!” She held her hand up for a high-five. Bones looked completely charmed by her playfulness and slapped his hand to hers.
When she yawned for the second time, he got up from the bed and started stripping his clothes off.
“We might as well get comfy. I’ll put a movie on and we can relax.”
When he was down to his boxers he grabbed a few bags of chips and a bottle of water for Bianca. King had left and returned with six chilled beers from the bar. When they all got under the covers and lay back, Digger felt something unfamiliar warm his chest. He realised he was utterly comfortable and content for the first time in his life.
He couldn’t remember the last time they’d all just been together and done nothing, simply spending time in each other’s company. He made a mental note to make sure they do it often from now on, as he looked at the totally relaxed faces of Bones and King. Bianca’s eyes were already half shut and he knew it wouldn’t be long until they all followed her into sleep.
Bones
Bones woke and stretched, feeling his muscles creak to life. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d slept so well, especially considering all the shit that went down the day before, he was surprised. His movements must have woken Digger who was settled against his back. He felt the evidence of his desire pressing against him. Digger’s hand smoothed over his hip before diving into his boxers and wrapping his hand around his rapidly growing cock.
