“Hello Sheriff,” Beth greeted him when he didn’t see her sitting in the bed.

His concerned frown disappeared and a relieved smile replaced it.

“So you’re up and about already?”

“At least as far as this chair, I am still a little dizzy if I move too fast, but it’s getting better.”

“Good.” The sheriff came to stand beside her looking out the window.

“Want to tell me what happened yesterday?” Beth told him about looking through the boxes and ended with where she had hidden the incriminating papers.

“Did Razer find the papers?”

“Yes. He found them when he went back to his room. Sam told him what you had found and what they were. She told everything she knew trying to cut a deal for herself. Bedford kept telling her to shut up.”

“He was going to kill me. Is he in jail?”

“No, he’s in the hospital also. Pretty bad shape, but he’ll live and stand trial for murder and your kidnapping.”

“So it’s true he took Sam’s baby?”

“Looks like it. We have to wait for the evidence to come back to know without a doubt.”

“Poor Samantha.”

The Sheriff looked at her in amazement. “Poor Samantha, she kidnapped you, pistol whipped you, and was going to let her father kill you and you feel sorry for her?”

“Yes, you protect family. Always.”

The sheriff shook his head at the woman sitting before him. He had never met another person like her. Her soul was filled with the concern for others more than herself. She had always been like that, even as a younger girl. There was no one, male or female, that he respected more than her.

“At least I don’t have to worry about someone trying to kill me now that mystery is solved.”

The sheriff hesitated, “Yes, it’s over. You can go back to your normal life.”

A thought struck her, which would explain why Razer hadn’t been to visit her. “Did Razer get in trouble for hurting Mr. Bedford? He was only trying to protect me… it was actually Loker James who beat him so badly.”

The Sheriff held up his hand, stopping her explanation. “I didn’t arrest him or James either. The way I wrote it down was self-defense. Cash backed his story up.”

“Oh… well that’s a relief.” Beth bit her lip.

“The doctor said you will be released tomorrow. My wife plans to come by and help you out until you feel better.”

“No, I will be fine…”

“You know Rachel won’t take no for an answer, so no use in arguing. I brought your car to you, it’s in the lot.” Taking the keys out of his pocket, he handed them to her. “Rachel said to tell you she’d give you a few hours peace before she came.”

“Thanks Sheriff, I appreciate all your help.”

“Anytime Beth.” The sheriff stayed until the nurse came in to take her vitals, but Beth barely paid attention to the nurse’s questions. She had been stunned when the Sheriff had handed her the keys to her car. It had been parked at the clubhouse. Razer would have to have given him the keys. Yet, he had sent no messages, nor had Evie. Beth tried hard not to be hurt, but could not help feeling ignored by the people she had come to care about.

Chapter 16

Beth was released the next day after the doctor had given her a final exam. Feeling much better, Beth signed her release papers. Once outside, she had no trouble locating her car. Beth came to a decision as she drove home. She was going to find out why no one had come by the hospital to check on her or even call.

All the way there, Beth tried to talk herself out of her decision. A feeling of foreboding came over her, reminding her that she should go home, but for once she didn’t listen to the reasonable voice in her head saying to give it a couple of days. When she pulled up to the house, the yard and porch were filled with bikers none of them she recognized. As she walked to the front door, she was given many curious looks, but no one said anything to her. Walking into the house she saw Razer immediately, Bliss was sitting on his lap with a black pair of leather shorts and a black vest completely open baring her breasts. Razer was sitting and playing with her nipple.

Once upon a time Beth would have turned and ran away, unable to face the pain of jealousy seeing him with another woman would evoke. Evie who was sitting on Cash’s lap was the first to see her and her mouth dropped open, before a carefully closed expression came over her face.

Razer turned to see what had startled Evie and also saw Beth. He didn’t remove his hand, but the smile he had disappeared in a flash.

Beth felt her legs carrying her across the room to stand before him.

“Hi Razer, Evie. I thought I would stop by and see if everyone was alright. I had hoped you would come by the hospital and see me.” Beth’s voice was hesitant as she deliberately kept her eyes on Razer’s face as his hands stroked Bliss’s breasts.

“Didn’t need to, the Sheriff told us you were fine.” Razer gave a negligent shrug. “Since we found out who was responsible for stealing the money, we can open the factory. The other members came in from Ohio, so we have been busy celebrating.”

“I see that.”

“Actually, I am glad you showed up.” Evie got up from Cash’s lap and opened the closet, dragging out Beth’s suitcase and a large canvas bag. Bringing both to Beth. “I was going to bring this down to your house later today. Since the factory is going to open full-time, I don’t need the extra work. My folders and keys are in the bag. Crash could you take these to Beth’s car for her?”

Crash rose from the chair, picking up the suitcase and the bag leaving the room. His look saying he was glad to escape the upcoming confrontation. Beth wanted to escape with her pride also, but was determined to see it through to the bitter end.

“Can I talk to you in private for a few minutes?” she asked Razer.

“No need, look there is no reason to make this hard Beth. I let you crash here while there was a hit out on you, but now it’s over. We both had a good time, but I need my space back. Kinda need my room.” His hand dropped to delve between Bliss’s thighs. Her head fell back to his shoulder, her thighs spread wider.

Beth closed her eyes. “Please Razer, I can…” pleading blue eyes stared into his emotionless ones.

“Listen bitch, I don’t know how much more blunt I have to be, but here goes. We had fun, but I don’t want or need a permanent roommate. I like variety in my pussy and I can see the way you look at me that you are getting too attached. I don’t want attachments, what I do want again, is pussy. Offered you a place to stay that was safe while you needed it, you don’t need it anymore. The bad guy is in jail, so you’re safe. You can go home and I can have my room back.”

Razer stood up, holding Bliss who wrapped her legs tightly around his waist. “Now if you will excuse us, I am going to my room and see if her pussy is as tight as yours was when I popped your cherry.” With those last cutting words, Razer gave her his back, carrying a clinging Bliss up the stairs with him. Beth stood there a few seconds after she heard his door close. Forcing the nausea in her throat down, and several deep breaths later; she pasted a fake smile on her face and left the house with everyone in the room a witness to her humiliation. In her car, she started it aware of several eyes watching her from the house, but carefully drove home.
