Doc Read online

  “She doesn’t remember anything?” Creed said softly, and Doc shook her head.

  “Not right now, but it could be temporary, or it may be permanent.”

  Fish was watching Slick and Jack-Jack who looked like they had been punched in the gut, he knew how the two men felt because when Doc wasn’t with him, it killed him not knowing what was going on. Now, knowing she was carrying his child, it was going to be worse, he knew it. The guys were going to need to understand.

  “Jack-Jack? Slick?” Doc said, and both men stood up straight and nodded.

  The room went silent as she looked at Gypsy who ground her teeth. “She doesn’t remember what went down with you guys. My suggestion, if you are serious about this shit, then this time you make sure you have an in before she remembers because I can guarantee if she remembers before that, you two are going to lose her forever. She had made up her mind years ago about that shit,” Doc said, and the men nodded and turned and left the room. Gypsy stepped close to her.

  “You sure you should have done that?” Gypsy said, and Doc sighed and nodded slowly.

  “We may be pissed about what went down, but you saw them with her, I did too. At first, I was against it, I know what they did to her, how much it hurt, but if they are serious now? She loved them then and if she still does...”

  Gypsy cursed under her breath, “One shot.”

  Doc nodded. “I agree.”

  Doc stepped into the main room of the clubhouse and Harmony, Freedom and Shady stepped in front of her. Fuck, she didn’t need this shit right now. Folding her arms over her chest, she glared at the shorter woman and waited.

  “So,” Harmony said slowly. “Hear my dad claimed you?”

  Doc narrowed her eyes and she felt someone behind her. She stiffened at first until she realized it was Fish. “Not now, Harmony,” he growled, and his daughter shook her head.

  “Sorry, pops, it needs to be now,” she said, and Doc sighed.

  “Well, we are here, let it rip,” Doc said. “But before you go looking like a spoiled child, let me remind you that you are grown, and your father does not need protecting. So, pitch your fit, and lose your father’s respect.”

  Harmony narrowed her eyes, and she snapped, “I was going to say that I understand my dad needs someone in his life. I was going to say, I was happy about it. And I was going to apologize because I realized I was shocked and didn’t handle it well last night. I mean, finding out my dad is going to be a father again, would throw most people for a loop, and therefore, I was going to apologize. However, you just being all bitchy has made me change my mind. I am not apologizing for shit, and guess what? I am a spoiled brat so get used to it.”

  Doc laughed and said, “Well good, at least you are in touch with the fact that you are a raging bitch.”

  Shady rolled her eyes and stepped forward. “What she is trying to say is that she is cool with all this ‘cause she loves her dad and wants to see him happy. And before we have bloodshed ‘cause both of you whores are being unreasonable. May I remind you that everyone and their brother wants to kill us, we don’t need to do it to ourselves.”

  Fish stepped up and said, “Sweetheart, you know I love you.”

  Harmony smiled at Doc with a scary kind of evil smile and then she looked at her father and Doc saw the tears in the woman’s eyes, and she relaxed. If his daughter hurt him in any way, Doc was going to kick her pregnant ass.

  “It’s been a long time since I felt like this for any woman, you know that your mom was a bitch. It took me a long time to work that out, but with Doc, it is different. I would die for her,” he said quietly, and Harmony’s eyes widened.

  Doc saw Freedom put a hand on her friend’s shoulder and squeeze and then Harmony moved and hugged her father as the first tear escaped her eyes.

  “I just wanted you happy,” she whispered. “But in the club.”

  Fish sighed and then grinned. “Honey, I am gonna be right next door.”

  “But,” Harmony said, and Fish continued.

  “And nothing is going to keep me from my grandbaby.”

  Doc stared as the two hugged each other tighter, Shady leaned in a whispered in her ear, “Even with all the lovefest going on over there we still have a warning for ya. If you hurt him, we will gut you.”

  Doc turned her head and stared at the leader of the Lady Riders whose eyes looked like cold steel right now. She narrowed her eyes and then leaned forward and whispered into Shady’s ear, “He is mine, and I will not hurt him. But you or your sluts threaten me again, we are gonna have a problem. And just to say, if you all hurt him by being demanding bitches playing the whole, ‘my daddy loves me more,’ I will let my Sisters loose on you.”

  Shady leaned back with a grin, and she looked at Freedom whose eyes were wide and said, “We are cool.”

  Freedom muttered under her breath, “I swear to God, you bitches are nuts and now we just added some more craziness to the group.”

  Fish kissed Harmony on the head as she pulled back, and they heard the roar of motorcycles, then Shady turned. “Well shit, so much for a quiet night. Looks like Rebel and the others got the Blood Eagles in without a problem.”

  Doc frowned. “You called in another club?”

  Freedom shook her head. “Oh, hell no, see Rebel is one of our strippers for Bitches 2. Well, she is part of the Riders now; anyway, her dad is the President of the Blood Eagles and when they heard that Rebel was out here and while on a run searching for the man who killed her mom. She was targeted by our enemies who happened to have the same man in their club. While following the asshole, she crashed her bike into a car. Rebel ended up in the hospital where they found out she had scar tissue that may or may not be cancer, and was going under the knife. So, they decided to get their asses up here. She wanted to wait until her dad was here to start the chemo they were going to need to do.”

  Doc frowned and looked at Shady. “Is she always like that?”

  Shady shrugged. “Yeah.”

  Doc looked back at Harmony and Fish. “We good?”

  Harmony narrowed her eyes for a brief second and then she saw the way Doc was staring at her father and knew he finally found a woman who would stick. She nodded and then said, “Yep, welcome to the family.”

  Chapter Fifteen

  The Sisters and the Furies went back to their side of the compound to meet, only taking time enough to change their clothes and shit. Doc needed the time to grab something to snack on as well. The baby was hungry, she thought as she walked back into the main room carrying her apple and biting into it. Fling motioned with his head, and when she reached him, he said, “We lead the full meetings together.”

  Doc looked around and nodded. “Yep, give me two minutes.”

  Fling nodded and moved to the front while she saw Fish sitting with Shadow, and she moved to him really quick. “We good?”

  Fish looked at her and nodded. “Always.” And she moved to Fling.

  Fling and Doc stood in front of the clubs and told them what Shadow had discovered and what Shady confirmed in detail. They all needed to know what the hell was going on.

  Ridge leaned back in his chair and said loudly, “Technically, this had nothing to do with us?”

  Fling frowned. “I didn’t say that. The hacker, the one we have been chasing, is not the hacker, he is a victim.”

  “Are you gonna call the higher ups and tell them?” Loki asked, and Jaci leaned forward.

  “Please tell me you are not; Victor Burns is a victim here. We need to find him and get him free.”

  “The problem is, we don’t know where he is, and he doesn’t know where he is,” Shadow said. “The cell phone he built doesn’t have GPS or voice, only text and even with that, it is hit and miss. But he gave me just enough to help me find the real hacker. But he is good, hell, even the info I got is only pieces. The file there, it took me five tries to get it, and I don’t think it is complete, I think there are more dates on there,” Shadow said.

  “
How could one person do all this?” Georgie asked, and Boomer nodded.

  “Yeah, hell, some of that shit was going down at the same time as others. How in the fuck is he/she pulling that off?”

  Fling ran a hand down his face, and Doc said, “We just got this info, we haven’t been able to figure everything out yet. There is a lot of shit going on, and so right now, we are just giving info. The Ops will be doing the same thing, the clubs are on lockdown obviously until we can figure some of this shit out. But they are asking for the businesses to be shut down for now. We need to find where they are getting their information. It is seriously too detailed not to wonder if it is someone in the club.”

  Fling turned his head quickly, shit, he hadn’t planned on throwing that shit out yet. They hadn’t even talked about it. The room went tense when she said the final sentence and they all looked from Doc to Fling as if they were hoping someone was going to tell them they were fucking around. It was shocking, and if someone in their club was responsible, then they would be dealt with harshly. There was a knock on the door and Fling frowned, no one should be on the grounds right now.

  Ridge stood and walked to the door, Trey was standing there, and he straightened. “Creed and Fork sent me over here.”

  Fling motioned for him to come in. He looked around the room, they had talked about this when Doc was gone, the members of the Furies had voted.

  “Trey, step up,” Fling ordered the young male, and then he turned to Doc and raised an eyebrow.

  Fuck, she thought and turned to Fish who was already moving to stand in front of the club. They hadn’t had a chance to talk about it. What the hell was he doing? He was an Ops, she was not going to allow him to switch clubs. Doc opened her mouth and Fish stared at her in anger and shook his head.

  “We have had a lot of shit going on. You all know that Bjorn ‘Ironside’ Falcon is going to become a Prospect. He will be here in a few weeks. We also had a request from Creed and Fork. Apparently, Trey would like to also become a Prospect for the Furies, and Fish claimed Doc, so it needs to be decided where they will reside. We have never allowed someone from another club to reside in our space. However, we have been asked to put it to a vote, to see if Fish can have a dual membership with the Ops and the Sisters,” Fling said, and Doc snapped her mouth shut. “We already voted and, Trey, your cut and room are ready for you, just go with Loki who will show you where it is. And, Fish, the club has decided that they approve of the dual membership, but we only ask that the Sisters patch be added to your cut making it show the dual status.”

  “Fuck yeah,” Marbles said, and the other Sisters raised their hands. Then the Furies all nodded. Doc stared around the room, both clubs had just given them their blessing, shit. Her heart was beating fast, and she felt Fish lean into her slightly, and she let go a breath she didn’t know she was holding and lifted her head in acknowledgment.

  Fish nodded, and then Fling turned. “In light of this, Doc, you and Fish will now have the house standing next to the apartment, you can move in immediately as it was our guest house. Obviously, you are pregnant, and you are the only female in the club which is, which means you will be in the background working shit. We will not jeopardize you or the kid. We talked, and the club has agreed, you need extra protection.” Doc opened her mouth to argue, but then he held up his hand. “Don’t fucking argue, Fish will be with you, but so will one of the guys. They are taking shifts, we protect what is ours, especially now. No other business. You all know this shit we are swimming in. We are gonna be helping the Ops and Lady Riders, and they will be helping us. So, give us a bit, and we will figure out who is doing what. Until this shit is sorted, Shadow and Boony will both be running security checks. Loki and Puddin’, you both will be working with Maxi and Rain, you four will be in charge of helping out with recog.”

  “Yeah, and ma will be right there in the mix.” Loki snorted, and Jaci shook her head.

  “For now, everyone get settled, tomorrow we start,” Fling said and then grabbed Sunshine and dragged her out of the clubhouse while everyone laughed.

  Fish leaned over, “Let’s go break in our new house. I will let Ridge know where we are going.”

  She laughed and rolled her eyes. “DUH.”

  Fish had let her walk out the door holding her hand, but when they were out the door, the man had grabbed her and swept her up into his arms and began to walk very quickly.

  “You know I can walk,” she laughed, and he looked down at her.

  “Begin as we mean to go on,” Fish said firmly. “I will always take care of you, but that isn’t what this is about. In my eyes, we were just married since the clubs gave their blessing, now it is only a piece of paper. Since we don’t have time right now to make it official, this is our wedding night. I will carry you over the threshold to our house.”

  Doc sucked in a breath, was he serious? She looked at the determined look on his face—he was, this was forever. They had said it, but what Fish said and what he was doing, it made it real. Damn, she was an old lady now, how fucking crazy was that.

  He had stalked down the dirt road until they reached the construction site, and Doc saw the house Fling had been referring to. They had already posted a sign saying ‘President of Satan’s Sisters,’ in the yard. She had seen the one in Fling’s yard and the rest of the officers in the club. The Sisters had kinda chuckled about that, but now, Doc thought it was kinda cool.

  Fish moved to the front porch, and while Doc would have kinda liked to check out her view, he moved to the door and said, “Open it,” to her, and she laughed and leaned over and did what he said.

  With the door open, Fish moved through it, pausing to kiss her as they crossed the threshold. Fuck, she wasn’t sentimental, but she would always cherish that. Then he kicked the door shut with his foot and growled, “Where the fuck are the bedrooms?” She looked around, it was furnished thank goodness, although Doc saw a few things that needed to go, especially the girly pic of a garden over the couch, damn, that was a bit much.

  Doc laughed and said, “Possibly on the second floor?”

  Fish nodded and moved to the stairs, he took them two at a time, and once she tried to tell him to let her walk, the look he gave her was so intense it made her laugh because it was sexy, but also humorous how horny he was.

  “So, uh, everyone acknowledging us makes you horny?” she teased as they reach the second floor.

  He stopped and looked down at her. “No, it just makes it official, I am always fucking hard when I am around you.”

  Doc grinned. “Good answer.”

  He kissed her hard and moved quickly. The master was easy to spot since it was the only bedroom door open. Doc saw the flowers on the dresser, and she rolled her eyes. Yeah, that was totally Tats, she was the one who secretly liked the whole girly shit when it came to romance. They always teased her ‘cause her rule was if a dude showed up for a date and didn’t have flowers, she was not fucking him until the second date.

  Fish stopped when he saw the flowers and frowned. “Who the fuck is sending you flowers?”

  Doc laughed, “It was Tats.”

  He growled, “Better be.”

  “Aww, look at you being all possessive.” She laughed, and Fish growled at her.

  “You are mine.”

  Then Doc continued to laugh when she was finally thrown across a bed. Fish stood at the foot of the bed, looked at her, and ordered, “Get your fucking clothes off.” Doc paused to stare at him as he whipped off his shirt, he was gorgeous, and he was hers. She wanted to watch him take off his clothes, but he snapped at her, “You are not taking your clothes off.”

  Doc narrowed her eyes and said, “Really?”

  He was pulling the male dominance thing, like he could be the only one in charge in this situation. She was gonna challenge him, he knew it, and she knew it, and they also knew that was what made them work. They were feeling their way, and in the bedroom, they would always clash because it was hot to see who would win. Doc grinned
and then said, “Bring it.”

  She knelt on the bed and pulled her shirt over her head. Fish’s eyes went dark when he saw her bra. She had quickly changed it when they got back to the compound, grabbing the first thing she saw. Yeah, they remembered last night, Fish had expressed his liking of her underwear after they had fucked, and now he was doing it again, Doc was thinking a trip to VS was coming real soon.

  Doc was wearing a black, lacy bra with a matching thong. So, when she turned around and began to push off her pants, she heard him growl. Doc grinned, she knew he liked the show, and she was more than ready to give it to him, and she wiggled her ass a little while she got the pants completely off. Doc turned in enough time to see him tossing his Harley tee that was in his hand and then grabbing his belt and pulling quickly.

  He toed off his boots and stripped, slowly taking his time, and watching her, his eyes roaming her body and making her feel like the most important person in the world. His eyes lingered on her flat stomach, and he wondered what it would look like rounded with his child. A feeling of possessiveness flowed over him, mine, he thought.

  She looked up at him and said, “I swear I will never get used to seeing your body. Shit, whoever said young men were sexy, pft, they got nothing on you, honey.”

  Fish laughed and crawled up the bed until she was bent over, with her legs still under her and him leaning over her pushing apart her thighs. It gave his cock a nice place to rest as her feet pushed up her ass. However, she wasn’t sure she was so bendable.

  He looked down at her breasts that were pushed up right into his face, and he reached up and pulled her bra to one side, so only one of her nipples was exposed. He teased around the nipple before taking it into his mouth and sucking hard. She gasped at the feeling of his mouth, she loved it. She could feel the bond stretching to each of them and strengthening. They would be good together, she thought.
