    ‘Someone to see you, boss.’
    I glance up from my paper and throw Duke a look that tells him I need a bit more information than that.
    ‘A woman.’
    That narrows the sex down, I suppose. ‘Any woman in particular?’ Christ, it’s like pulling teeth, and I ain’t got time for this. I’ve got another meeting with Viper in an hour. The Soldiers of Darkness are on board, and tonight’s our first run. I’m sending a few of our brothers out with Viper’s crew – two gangs are better than one, not that we’re expecting any trouble. The deal’s a done one. Hand the shit over and get outta there. But you can never be too careful in this business. Trust no fucker, that’s my motto. Always be on your guard. It’s the only way.
    Duke shrugs a reply to my question and I roll my eyes and let out a heavy sigh, because I really don’t have time for this. She’s probably just another MC mama wanting a job and a way in to our club. We get ‘em here all the time.
    I look back down at my paper. ‘If it’s work she’s after, tell her to stop by Laney’s tonight.’
    ‘You want me to tell her that?’
    I sigh again and fix Duke with a withering look. ‘I just fucking said so, didn’t I? Go on, get outta here. I’m busy.’
    Duke retreats, leaving me alone in the chapel. Which is how I like it sometimes.
    ‘For fuck’s sake…’
    I look up at the sound of a voice I remember hearing only hours earlier. That unfamiliar accent. And there she is, last night’s mystery lady, all long legs and hard face, her hair pulled back into a loose, messed-up pony tail, which makes her look a lot younger than she did yesterday. She doesn’t seem to have much make-up on either, which is a nice change. Usually you can’t get to the face for the foundation on some of the women who hang around here. Not that it matters half the time. Who’s looking at the mantelpiece when you’re poking the fire?
    ‘You after somethin’, darlin’?’
    She stops in the doorway, and I let my eyes wander up from her knee-high boots to the hem of her ass-skimming denim skirt. Her legs are freakin’ incredible, from what I can see of them; toned and tanned and I want to find out what she’s got between them. I want to thrust my fingers inside her and play with her; make her come until she screams so loud the whole town’ll hear. And I swear I only want her this bad because I know she ain’t gonna be easy. Women fall at my feet – fact. But it don’t feel like this one is gonna. And I hate myself for even thinking about accepting the challenge she’s unwittingly throwing in my direction, but that’s exactly what I’m gonna do. Whether she likes it or not.
    ‘I need your help.’
    I stand up and lean back against the long wooden table that sits in the middle of the chapel. ‘You need my help?’ I raise an eyebrow, because now I’m curious.
    She nods, and I see no fear on her face. But I’m guessing that she does actually know who I am. You don’t ask for help from a total stranger; from someone like me. So she knows who I am, or she wouldn’t be here.
    ‘Close the door.’
    She does as I say, kicking the door shut behind her before she walks over to me. And she doesn’t stop until she’s almost right up in my face, which I find so fucking hot, man, I ain’t ever experienced a woman with balls like this one. I come to them , they don’t come to me.
    ‘Do you remember a shoot out that happened just over a year ago? In a bar just a few miles outside of town?’
    I’m even more curious now. I remember that shoot out. It hadn’t taken place in one of our bars, it wasn’t even on our patch. It happened in a place which is very much Viper’s crew’s territory, not ours. I don’t know exactly what happened that night, or what had caused it, it had fuck all to do with us, and I don’t get involved in stuff that
