Taming Lucca: Red Devils M.C. by Michelle Woods

word. “He was just following me at the market to cause trouble, but Lisa and two of your friends helped me get away.”   
    “She means Pretty Boy and Tanner I left them to keep an eye on Lisa.” Slim explained as he stepped farther into the room.
    “Well that’s good, but why was he after you in the first place Molly?” Contempt filling his voice Bone stared at her waiting for her answer.
    “I don’t know. I think he was just being a jerk. He didn’t like me becau se I lived in the Slum district. Or maybe it was because I was supposed to be a thief.” Molly shifted nervously, while she clutched the quilt to her chest.
    “Bone, she was promised protection.” Slim grimac ed as he said it waiting for Bone’s reaction to that reminder. He turned with a murderous look to him while he clenched and unclenched his fists.
    “ Do you have a death wish?” Bone asked his brother with serious intent.
    “No, but my old lady said I’d help her . You know that I can’t not offer to protect her if she asks.” Slim stood straighter near the doorway without flinching away from Bone.
    Molly watched as the two men squared off in the middle of the room. Bone was really pissed, and they looked as if they were going to fight. “Wait just make him not force me into his bed. I can do other stuff. Like wash clothes and housework to pay him back.” She spoke up before they started going at it in the middle of the room. Lisa wouldn’t like her much if she got Slim killed. She was sure that Lisa had not meant for her to use her man’s protection against any on in the club.
    “Fuc- Shit. Molly I wasn’t going to force you into my bed. That wasn’t what I meant.” Bone said turning to her running a hand through his hair in frustration. He had his head turned towards her. He looked at Slim who stood with his mouth hanging open, and his eyes wide in shock. That fucker should know that he wasn’t into forcing women.
    “Slim you know damned well that I would never force a woman.” Slim shook his head and smiled with glee. “No, I’m shocked that you just stopped saying Fuck because she asked you not to.” The asshole said. Shooting him the finger Bone looked at the tiny woman in his massive bed again. “Fine. You can do the housework and cook, but for now rest. Doc said you need three days of bed rest to recover. I’ll bring you some soup in a little while.”
    Molly was relieved that he wouldn’t force her to share his bed, but she had no idea how to cook anything. She bit her lip with distress, but really how hard could it be.
    “Let’s go asshat she said she would stay.” Bone said as he ushered Slim out the door leaving her alone. Molly sighed as she settled back on the bed. It was strange even though she had been afraid of Bone at first when he’d entered she wasn’t now. That thought surprised her greatly; she wasn’t usually a trusting person. Yet after one short conversation she was content to stay with him for now. She lay back in the bed snuggling down in the covers, which smelled of spice and man, deciding to take a nap.

    B one followed Slim down the stairs when they both came to the bottom Slim stood in the brown rustic living room looking at Bone’s with a serious expression.
    “I stopped by Vince’s today on my way up to Titus with Lisa. He gave me some disturbing Intel. Apparently, those asshole’s are getting bold,” Bone didn’t need to ask who Slim was talking about the Jackals had been a torn in his side for months now. They were trying to run drugs through Red Devils territory for the last two years, but in the last six months they seemed to be getting worse. “They set up a Juice factory in Longville.”
    “Fuck, that’s only a half hour from here.” Bone couldn’t believe they would try this with them less than a half hour away it showed a lack of respect on a level that made Bone want to blow them off the planet.
    “Yeah, I have all the information we need to take
