Thorne POV
●●●
I hear the sirens going on, and I grab my phone which starts ringing the very second.
And I know whose calling me.
Damon, my first man in control.
Someone who will take my place In my absence.
And the time is playing again.
"Yes ?" I answer, as my eyes locks with her brown eyes whose watching me like she's lost, like to search of something that only I can give her.
She's naked except for her panties.
She looks like the wild flower on my bed which I would love to discover but the time ain't right.
Even if all I want to do is make the time freeze, so we get stuck here.
"The cops are here with Collen" his words comes out breathy and I know he is riding.
I can hear the bike sound.
He is on his way to my house, so he can protect his leader.
"You got to leave now Dem.
They have surrounded around your house.
We don't know how this can escalate.
You got to leave now.
I'll go in for you" Damon speaks ,panicked.
Worried.
Because we all know no matter how strong your gang is ,if the leader is absent than everything else will never matter.
I know, faced that situation when we lost my father.
I was eighteen and I stepped up.
Because a throne should never be left empty.
Pushing all the thoughts away from my mind, I narrow my eyes at the girl in front of me.
"I have a woman in my room" I state.
Like a reason to do against his words.
It's not like I listen.
Or anyone is ever dared to order me.
But Damon is like family.
He cares
And for me ,he matters like every other one in our biker gang.
We are family.
"You can't waste a minute Dem.
Robert has capped well" He rambles his words.
And I can sense the tension behind his words.
"We are on our way" he adds ,before I hear him curse something
And I cut the call as I throw my phone back to my pocket
"What happened?
Is everything okay ?" She asks ,her voice comes out shaky as she gets on her step.
Her arms crossed like a last attempt to cover her modesty.
And I move towards the window
To see how well the wolves have covered behind our back.
"f**k" I curse as I see the way the police are surrounding around my house.
They think their plans are working out loud
But they don't know, it's me in the room.
"We got to leave now Sugar.
We have no time" I stress my words as I stride my legs towards her.
I throw her dress at her direction from the floor as I hurry up.
Dressing back
"Come on
Hurry up " I look at her through the corner of eyes as I put back my t shirt.
This time she doesn't argue ,she moves quick like she understands without any other word.
Or in need to seek any explanation from my side
And I grab my jacket
moving towards my bed, I put my hand under the wooden coat and pull my gun out.
I hear a small gasp and a small smirk falls on my lips as I turn around and look at her.
Her eyes have dilated, lips parted.
Her hands gripping her dress, nervous, and I bring the gun forward as I hide in below my t shirt.
Sticking it in, on my waist.
And our eyes stare into each other like a maze
"You got nothing to worry about.
When I'm there no one touches my women" I declare, like we are at war and
These are my last words.
Damn , I am not alone tonight.
She nods, unsure.
And I throw my jacket
"Wear this" I stress as I step out of my room.
I make sure all the doors and windows are bolted well.
But the problem is , stepping out now when there are a hundred of cops standing out, their gun held high
Especially, Collen.
The chief officer, waiting to call out.
Attack on me.
As per the mayor ,Robert's order.
It's a risk, but I'm willing to check the depth.
You never know how capable you are until you jump into the ocean.
A bullet wouldn't do much to hurt.
Few weeks of rest but getting caught will scrap a few years from my list
And it will be a risk to throw my people under the radar
I scan my eyes to understand the way, I have them surrounded around my house.
I see too many cars in distant, causal dressed people walking around pretending.
I'm sure they have planned this well.
And if one wrong move, tonight will be the bloodbath.
" I'm ready"
I turn around hearing a faint whisper behind me , for a second the risk was appealing.
But now as I hear her voice, I know.
It's not.
I'm not alone
"Who are they ? " She asks, and I hear a gun shot coming straight at the window.
I'm standing behind. Like they can sense my shadow
And she gasps, falling on her back
On the floor.
And I rush towards her, grabbing her in my arms.
She's a feather but a clean one.
I can't get her dirty.
"It's okay.
I want you to go back in that room.
And hide under the bed" I order as I help herself on to her step back.
Moving towards the room, dragging her along with me as she's lost the balance or the capacity to hold the strength.
She's shaking, frightened
Her tiny hand is wrapped around my t-shirt like she doesn't want to let me go.
Grabbing her fist, I take a step back.
"Stay under the bed.
I'll send someone to drop you back home.
When this is over. And he will return you home safely
But until then, I want you.
Under my bed.
And ….
Here grab this" I give my gun ,putting it down on her shaky hand and I press her fingers down ,making her hold it.
She looks at me ,like she's seconds away from passing out.
And something shifts me.
Leaning in ,I kiss her forehead.
"Stay quiet angel.
Those are very bad men
And if they learn that Demitiri had a woman in his room, they will call her a biker slut.
And tell the world, the same.
And I don't want that.
You're an angel.
So now go inside.
Be a good girl
A hand on your mouth, so you make no noise.
And don't cry.
I hate tears" I stress my words as I cup her cheeks trying my best to put all the confidence in her
Her eyes filled ,she shallows hard but she blinks hard like not wanting to let them down.
"Are you going to be…okay?" Her voice barely makes out as she questions.
"I'll be damn fine.
This ain't new to me.
Been there a lot many times.
I have too many skills to handle them.
So ill be fine " I smile, as I move back.
Forcing myself from the body that came craving mine.
My heart sighs heavy
"Go ahead" I order
This time she nods, as she walks inside my room back.
I shut the door to my room, as I lock the door.
And I put my neck back, stretching my muscles.
The front door gets the other bullet and the door opens.
And I take a step front
"Welcome Collen" I smirk, as I raise my hands in the air.
If he thinks he got me.
He's wrong.
The devil surrendered.
This is better than having my men bleed.
This is better than putting that little angels' life in threat.
Once if their dirty eye's fall on her.
They will not spare her.
And I can't do that.
Can't throw her in the dirt game
"Arrest him"
The loud voice goes out, and I laugh out loud, as I walk towards them.
Willingly.
