Bound by Lies (God's Reapers MC Book 3) by Kara Parker Page B

move on to something new. But it wasn’t selling drugs that made us Reapers…it was our brotherhood and the oaths we swore to each other. Seems to me like this is the best way to keep those promises.”
     
    “So, what do you say?” David asked. One-by-one, he worked his way down the line, and each member gave a gruff, yes . Some were happier about it than others, but in the end they were all in.
     
    David rubbed his eyes at and looked at what was now his office. It was high above the floor, and he could see them men down there, working and cleaning up the mess from the raid. Olivia was sitting on the edge of his desk, her knee resting against David’s arm.
     
    “That was quite the inspiring speech you just gave,” she said, nudging him gently.
     
    “Thanks,” he answered, “but now I have to actually make it work.”
     
    “You will,” Olivia said, leaning over and kissing him on the top of his head. He leaned over on to her, resting his head on her knee and running his hand up and down her thighs. “It’s going to be a totally different world from here on out.”
“Yeah, but it might be better,” Olivia said. “Remember, nothing ventured nothing gained.”
     

 
     
     
     
    CHAPTER THIRTEEN
     
    “Welcome to work, rookie,” Officer Olivia Waters said, as she breezed past her new recruit. It took the kid a moment to realize what was happening, but he quickly figured out who Olivia was, and he raced to catch up. He was short with brown hair that fell into his eyes, and there was still a scattering of acne on his chin.
     
    “Office Waters?” the boys asked, struggling to keep up with her. “I’m Ted Sweeney; I’m supposed to ride with you today, right?” he asked.
     
    “Yup,” she said, “and we’re going right now.” She hit the elevator button, and it arrived almost immediately. Olivia stepped in, and Ted followed her. The music came on, and she could see the kid eyeing her nervously out of the corner of her eye.
     
    “It’s my first day,” he gushed. “I’ve never... you know...like been a cop.”
     
    “I know,” Olivia said with a nod. The elevator arrived at the garage floor, and Olivia strode to her car and the rookie followed. He jumped into the passenger side and buckled his seatbelt.  As Olivia settled in, she watched Ted as he gazed open mouthed at all the gadgets in the car.
     
    “You from around here?” Olivia asked.
     
    “No, ma’am about three towns over. I’ve been to Marina’s Crest a few times, but I don’t know it too well.”
     
    “You can call me Olivia,” she said, as she pulled out of the garage. “We’re gonna be patrolling the north side of town. It’s not the best part of town, not a lot of mansions, but there are still people there that we have to protect and serve. There’s gonna be a lot of domestic disputes, a lot of breaking up fights, but that’s the job—and I don’t shy away from hard work. We answer every call.”
     
    “Yeah, cool, totally,” Ted said, gazing out of the window, and she knew he was experiencing the novelty of people doing a double-take at a police car passing. “So, uh... I have to ask, are the stories about you true?”
     
    “Depends on the story,” Olivia answered, raising an eyebrow at Ted.
     
    “Did you really bring down a drug cartel with an afterhours investigation after you were suspended?” he asked. His puppy dog eyes were large, and Olivia had to stifle a laugh.
     
    “It’s a little more complicated than that,” she said.
     
    As the day closed, Olivia pulled up outside the God’s Reapers headquarters.
     
    “How was your day?” David asked, as he walked out to meet Olivia, wiping his hands off on a blue rag.
     
    “Good,” Olivia answered, giving him a quick kiss. “The new kid had a lot of questions.”
     
    “I bet,” David said. “So, are you ready?” he asked.
     
    “Yes, I am ready,” Olivia answered with a smile. She followed him around the garage until they came to a
