I carried my bag to the single bedroom which at least had a bed. The light barely made it around the curve of the door but I could see enough to place my bag on the foot of the bed. I turned and then let out a blood curdling scream as large arms shut the bedroom door and grabbed me in a steel grip, placing a hand over my mouth. Samson hit the solid door with growls and barking. A seductive voice whispered warmly in my ear, “I’ve won Mistress Lydia. Your flight takes off tomorrow evening. Get some sleep and then get that delectable ass of yours home. Pack a few personal items. I’ll provide everything else. The plane tickets are waiting on your kitchen counter. Samson and Raul are both provided for and will be going with you.” His hand lifted. “You cheated.” “You lost so take it like a Dom. Carl will pick you up at the airport in Houston. Now, I’ll let you walk me out so your dog doesn’t bite my legs off.” I could hear what sounded like helicopter blades in the distance. I was so completely fucked.
Chapter Five
“You gave me up.” My snarled words spit at my ex-best friend. “If you stop yelling long enough to listen, I’ll explain.” “There is no explanation. You knew I had no desire to leave the MC. You knew I’d refused Mr. Cheating Skunk’s offer several times and you knew we needed the fifty thousand dollars.” Raul’s hand came out of his pocket and he handed me a white slip of paper. My eyes briefly passed over the deposit slip and froze. There was one hundred and thirty six thousand dollars in the balance total. I looked up. “He offered me a hundred thousand to give up your location. He might have found you anyway so I took it. He told me he would take the money back if I alerted you. We now have enough to fully start the club.” I had no words and looked back down at the total. Strong arms came around my shoulders and brought me into his hard male chest. Raul was like a brother. How could I fault him for taking the money? Hell, I would have taken the money. Our dream was now sitting in the bank. “You know I didn’t mean what I said?” “Oh but I liked the gay fag stag comment. I might use it sometime.” “You bastard.” My arms tightened and Sam began to whine. He hated when he wasn’t getting his share of attention. “We need to leave. I hope they have a kennel large enough for Sam. I hear its cold in the cargo hold. Should I put him in his sweater?” “I’m sorry but if you put that pussy sweater on him, I’m taking a different flight. Samson can tough it out like a real man.” “Says the gay man?” “Oh honey, if dick size makes the man there isn’t a more man than me.” “Argh, you’re horrible. Use your muscle for something other than comedy and grab my bag. I’ll get the leash.” The airport was crowded. We stood in line though everyone gave us a wide berth with Sam sitting at attention by my side. Finally we made it to the check in counter and Mr. Mogul’s influence took over. A small electric cart appeared out of nowhere and the attendant ushered us on. Apparently Sam was flying first class and had his own seat. I just hoped he didn’t get air-sick and barf all over me. We bypassed the security checkpoint line and went straight to the front. Sam passed through the metal detector with me and we were off again. This time our destination was the Admiral’s Lounge. I settled in with an imported high dollar beer that I didn’t pay for. I could really get used to this. Our flight was uneventful, if you didn’t count the fact Samson wanted to sleep but couldn’t get comfortable in his oversized seat. Finally he was able to lie in the aisle and then he embarrassed me by snoring. Raul pretended he didn’t know us. Another cart picked us up at the gate and we sped along to the waiting limo. Carl took my bag. “How was your flight Ms. Simmons?” “Fine, thank you. What should I call you?” “Carl will do. It’s a
