EMPTY SECRETS (A Back Down Devil MC Novella) by London Casey, Karolyn James Page B

finally
fucking dead.
    Jett kicked back and reached for
Lena. She collapsed into his arms and started to cry.
    “ Please, ” Angelo kept crying. “ Oh, please …”
    “ That
was a long time coming, ” Georgie said.
    Jett held the knife out in Georgie ’ s direction. “ You do what you have to do, Georgie.
But we ’ re not going down
without a fight. ”
    “ I
know that, ” Georgie said. “ That ’ s why I came today. Victor called me about all
this. He was not given my blessing for any of this. And I came to solve the
problem. And then rightfully apologize on my behalf and the behalf of the
family . He ’ s gone now.
There ’ s no worry. I ’ ll make sure it ’ s taken care of. Angelo will get
his money back. ”
    “ Then
you fucking go, ” Jett said. “ You stay fucking gone
unless we need you. ”
    Miller stood from his chair. He
threw an elbow and hit the guy behind him in the face. Gaige and Blaine did the
same thing. And now Back Down Devil was in complete control of the situation.
    Jett got to his feet, his arms
tight around Lena.
    “ You
know, ” Georgie said. “ We can take her if we want. She ’ s part …”
    “ Of
this family, ” Miller said. “ You want her? You take us out. ”
    Jett grinned and nodded. “ That ’ s right. She did this, Georgie. She helped all
this. She was brave enough to take on Victor, alone. And you know what he did
to her? He had one of his goons knock her out and left her for dead. ”
    Georgie nodded. “ Then I guess we ’ ve had some common interests in
this. ”
    Miller stepped forward. “ From one leader to another …” Miller offered his hand. “ Shake my hand and take that
piece of shit dead body out of here. ”
    It was a bold statement to make,
ordering Georgie around.
    But the old man grabbed Miller ’ s hand and shook. He then
spouted orders to his guys and the collected Victor ’ s body.
    Once they left the restaurant,
everyone started to look around.
    “ Jesus
Christ, ” Miller finally
said. “ That guy was
hustling you, Angelo? ”
    “ He
threatened me, ” Angelo
said, now on his feet. “ Said
he ’ d take Stacey if I said
anything. It was just a little money …”
    “ But
he wanted more. More money. More power. More everything, ” Jett said. “ Fucking
hell, man. That ’ s why we ’ re here. ”
    “ It ’ s done now, ” Miller said. “ How about something to eat?
Anyone know a decent restaurant? ”
    Everyone let out a forced, and
needed, laugh.
    “ I
can eat, ” Blaine said, his
eyes locked to Stacey. “ I
know exactly what I want …”
    “ Here
we go, ” Jett whispered. He
then looked at Lena. He cupped her face. His hands were bloody. His shoulder was
still on fire. “ You ’ re fucking amazing, Lena. Brave.
Strong. Beautiful. The exact kind of woman I need to keep my in life. ”
    “ I ’ ll stab you if you get out of
line, ” Lena said with a
grin.
    “ Hey, ” Miller said to both of them. “ We ’ ve
been wanting to meet with Georgie for years. And you managed to pull it off.
You want to hang around and put up with this asshole, Lena? ” Miller put a hand to Jett ’ s back. “ Then he ’ s
all yours. ”
    “ He ’ s all mine, ” Lena said.
    They stared at each other again.
    Jett kissed Lena and she tasted
just as good as the first time.
    “ I
need to get you back to my place, ” Jett said. “ Show you what
the start of forever feels like. ”
    “ I
think you need a hospital first, ” Lena said and gently touched his shoulder.
    Jett gritted through the pain. “ Yeah, right. Whatever gets me in
a bed with you. ”
    “ Did
someone say hospital? ” Blaine asked. “ Nurses? I ’ m ready …”
    “ What
about Stacey? ” Gaige asked.
    “ She
can come too, ” Blaine said. “ The more, the merrier. My
cock is big enough …”
    “ I ’ m sorry about him, ” Jett said. “ Always ruining these moments. ”
    “ Do
you want hot nurses too? ” Lena asked.
    “ No,
beautiful, ” Jett said.
