Safe Haven

18. Wake Up

Hazard

I was out of my chair before her head hit the desk in front of her. I quickly untied the ropes that were holding her in place. "We still have more questions," Hog said. I knew what he was inferring. No way in hell was she going through that again. I wouldn't do it. "Write them down then. I'll give her a fucking pen when she wakes up." "Soft on her Prez? Anyone else you'd be demanding them to be woken up and rejuiced." "That a challenge Hog?" I stood up as I finished untying her. Hog took a step back. He may be a biker but he was also smart. He knew challenging someone who was 20 years younger outright wouldn't be the way to go. Instead of turning back to him I looked at the rest of the guys who were just as tense. "I think we've established Haven isn't Vega's lackey here to infiltrate the MC. She'll be treated like any other guest here. We'll need to discuss precautions and a course of action that the club wants to take from here. We'll meet back here tonight with everyone to vote how to handle it." Everyone nodded and began to leave the room, thankfully including Hog. Dante hung back and waited until everyone had exited. "What do you think Tae?" "I think things are about to getting messy. For now take your girl and get her situated. If she's anything like I've heard she's going to be a hellcat when she wakes up." I just nodded and picked up Haven. There was no telling how long she would be out. Those who came down easier tended to wake up quicker within a few minutes. With Haven's crash it could be a few hours. "Keep an ear out. You know where to find me," I told him as I moved through the door heading towards my room. The building we were in housed the bar and several bedrooms downstairs. Upstairs was the meeting room and my personal quarters. Across the breezeway was a variety of upstairs offices where we ran a few of our different business. Downstairs, in typical biker fashion, was the garage. We pulled in revenue from all sorts of places making it harder to pinpoint the illegal ones. We weren't drug pushers, at least not any hardcore drugs. My room was a set of rooms to be exact. There was a small kitchen a large living area and a bedroom. It was a typical bachelor pad and although I stayed here often enough I preferred the property I owned just west of town. At the clubhouse there was always commotion of some sort. I laid Haven's sleeping body on my California queen and tried not to think about how right it felt to have her there. Fuck I was screwed.

Haven
I wish I could have woke up forgetting everything but it appeared whatever they injected me with didn't work that way. Instead I remembered every detail with a clarity that scared me. It was dark by the looks of the lack of light streaming from the tall window above me. I wasn't sure where I was but the lingering scent of Hazard's body gave me a good idea. Part of me wanted to sink back down into the covers while the other wanted to cause serious bodily harm to someone. "Fuck Haven you scared the shit out of me!" "Oh look. The exact rat bastard I was imagining running my fist through. Where's my kids?" I said trying to stand. Looks like anger won out. Except I could barely move. The moment I made to stand, ignoring the fact I was dressed in only a Tshirt, I crumpled. Hazard made his way over to help me. "Don't you dare fucking touch me you rat bastard! What the fuck did you do to me?" I saw a brief look of regret in his eyes but that was quickly masked. I was dealing with the Prez now...not Hazard. "I did what had to be done. Your response to the L is normal. Although most people aren't out for 16 hours they do wake up weak. It'll fade." "16 hours! I swear to god Hazard....where are the kids? I want my kids and I'm leaving. Now." "The kids and Punchy are fine. Probably asleep which is where you should leave them. You're too weak to stand! How in the hell do you expect to leave with two kids and an out of commission ex-assassin without Vega spotting you right off? Besides what are you going to do walk??" Fuck he was right. Didn't mean I had to admit it though. "I don't care if I have to crawl. Come morning we're gone." "Be fucking reasonable Haven!! Whose going to protect you? Wag is gone. The Mezas are there but they're sure to want something in return. I'll let you figure exactly what that will probably be." "Where are my clothes? And who the hell undressed me?" That damned boyish grin emerged on his face. He knew he won...at least for now. I couldn't argue what my plans were because I didn't have one. "Your clothes are being washed. And cupcake you should definitely understand by now I'm the only one allowed to undress you." "Ugh! Don't call me cupcake! You've got no right to touch me either!" "I think we both know that's a lie sweets. And I've got every right. The minute you opened those pretty little legs you were mine." Damn it. I was mad as hell but there was no denying the thrill his words sent through me. Some part of me knew I was safe with Hazard, that the kids were safe. Regardless of his actions, which I wasn't sure I could ever forgive, my body still craved his.  But I could deny it. "I'll never forgive you. Regardless of what happens."
