Cash stared down at the graves of Tate’s mother and his father side by side in death

If Lily hadn’t been sitting at the table with the information they’d needed, they would have been too late Hundreds, possibly thousands, of people would have lost their lives Maybe that was the reason Tate was looking for He didn’t know

What he did knoas he had Rachel, and he was a selfish enough bastard to enjoy his happiness His father had screwed up cheating on Rachel’s mother; he would never be that stupid Cash knehat he had, and no other wo his hot-tempered vixen

“You ever going to tell

her you and Greer deliberately pissed her off to get her to move out?” Cash questioned with a quirk of his lips

Tate looked at him sharply

“Greer was just a little too obnoxious You’re an ass, but you wouldn’t have embarrassed Rachel in public like that without reason Besides,” Cash shrugged, “I know you saw ht You would have confronted her if you hadn’t planned to use it to your advantage”

“She still mad?” Tate’s voice was hoarse

“I think it still hurts her Tell her the truth,” Cash told him

“That I did it to force her to live her own life?” Tate said wryly “I tried to talk to her when she came home from the university, but she just told me we needed her She never wanted to admit she was homesick, even when she sold her property to pay for those online classes instead of taking that full, paid scholarship Rachel turned it down because she would have to leave home She’s a homebody; she doesn’t like to be uprooted”

“TellI don’t know”

Tate s to tell her you bought her property back from Drake?”

“When she tells nant,” Cash replied, his expression hard

Tate laughed “You’re doing your best to tie her down”

“I figure, by the third kid, she’ll settle down and quit being so skittish”

“Good luck with that Our mother droveher Rachel is the very ie of her Has she even told you she loves you?”

“No,” Cash adly “I know your sister better than you think”

Tate shook his head “Bullshit If you had, it wouldn’t have taken nearly getting killed to see what you lost”

“I bet you weren’t any happier when you and your brothers woke up to find her gone after your performance”

“I underestiht she would”

“We both learned a hard lesson where she is concerned The only thing I don’t understand is the night she ran hoet away from her? You just left,” Cash asked

While Tate rele “I’ve watched how The Last Riders took care of Lily and Beth Knox became Sheriff to make Diamond happy Viper took care of that asshole who hurt Winter You take care of your women Rachel will not only be protected by you, but your club I don’t have to worry about her any happens to me and my brothers”

Cash stared at Tate’s grier they were in, dealing the weed they grew

Tate turned away froraves “I told you when you called to tellwith your plan to marry her on one condition I expect you to live up to your promise, Cash”

“I’ll love her until the day I die,” he repeated the proiven Tate without embarrassment

“See that you do Because, if I catch youmy sister, I’ll whip your ass” Tate turned to leave

“Tate… thanks,” Cash said andthe man who had pushed Rachel in his direction

Tate turned back, staring him in the eyes “You’re welcome Want to stop at Rosie’s for a beer?”

Cash accepted the peace offering “Sounds good”

“You ready?”

“Yes” Rachel sly “How do I look?”

Cash’s eyes raked over the black booty shorts with the black bra “I like it, but I don’t knoto like the brothers’ eyes on you,” he warned, already planning on how soon he could lay his hands on that ass of hers

Rachel walked to their bed, picking up the black lace dress She pulled it over her outfit The lace was tightly woven so all you could see was the dark one fro

“Let’s go I have a surprise for you”

She caught his arm before they left their bedroom “Cash, I…” She bit her lip

“Vixen, nothing’s going to happen that you don’t want to happen, okay?” His finger smoothed her froay “You have a little wild in you, you know that?”

“That’s what I’m afraid of,” she admitted
