Sable adored Beth. The other woman had never had a best friend, or any real life. Her father had isolated her from everyone and everything. Not even out of love, no, out of his own greed.
“I will always be here for you.” She kissed her friend’s cheek.
She’d do anything for Beth, for the club, and for Forge. “I’ve got to go and tell him.”
“You’re really going to do it?” she asked.
“Yes. I’ll be back.”
She climbed off her bed and left her bedroom. She walked down the long corridor. The sound of moaning came from one of the rooms with the door wide open. She stopped, catching sight of her sister with Old Dog and another of the boys. She didn’t see his face, but her sister was moaning. She had a cock in her mouth and one in her ass.
This wasn’t an unusual sight for her.
Stepping away from the room, she came to a stop to find her mother leading one of the young prospects upstairs.
“Darling,” she said, cupping her face.
For as long as she could remember, she’d stopped kissing her mother for obvious reasons. She’d heard several of the men say that Sweetheart was a woman who knew how to suck cock and even marveled at her swallow technique. Yeah, her life had been interesting in this club.
Pushing some of her hair off her face, she forced a smile to her lips.
“Why doesn’t she come and join us?” the prospect said.
“Nah, my girl is a good one. I’m so glad you’re okay.” Her mother hugged her. “I’ve got to go. You know how much I love to break in the new ones.”
She wrinkled her nose but carried on down toward the main clubhouse. Several of the guys were drinking, a couple were playing pool, and some were shooting darts. She didn’t catch sight of Dog. He was either fucking one of the other women, working on his bike, or with Forge.
Don’t think of him. You need to get over him.
After walking over to Forge’s office, she didn’t hesitate as she knocked on the wooden door.
“Come in.”
She stepped inside the office and saw Dog was indeed in there. They were looking over some paperwork, which Forge moved to one side, covering up.
The simple action hurt.
He didn’t trust her.
No one trusted her.
“I … I’ll do it,” she said. “I can start right away.”
“You’re sure?”
“Yes. I’m sure. I’m going to need all the details and what you expect. I’ll want to make sure I can contact you in case anything goes wrong.” She rubbed her hands together. “Will you make sure the guys know?” she asked. “I don’t think I could stand for them to think I was a traitor or something.”
“No,” Forge said, standing up. “What you need to understand is once you start this, the club will see that you turned your back. Me and Dog will be the only ones who know your intentions, and what I asked of you.”
“And Beth. She’ll know.”
“And she knows to keep her mouth shut on club business.”
“I didn’t know I’d be … alone.” She was used to feeling this way. All her life she’d been exactly that. She never really fit in with the club or her family.
“What you need to understand, Sable, the only way this can work is if they believe you’re out, completely. That you’re not part of this world. The guys, when they see you, will be told you wanted out. That you couldn’t stand the club life.”
Tears were so close.
This was the only family she had. The thought of them hating her, even if it was all fake, was too much. For them, it would be real.
She looked at Dog. His gaze was on her but she couldn’t allow herself to be drawn in. Did he pity her? Was this just another task as VP? There was nothing for her here. Not really.
“Okay, we need this. The club needs this.” She took a deep breath. “I’ll do it.”
She didn’t look at Dog this time.
“You’re sure?” Forge asked. “I can’t have you hanging out with Beth after this.”
“Do you want me to help or not?” she asked with a laugh. “This is already hard, but I’ve heard about this Grass guy. He’s not good, and he’s going to ruin the club if he’s given the chance. I want to be able to help.” She clapped her hands together. “I’m ready.”
Forge took out the keys to the house, the car, along with the cell phone and paperwork. “Everything you need to know is in there. Tomorrow, a delivery of clothes in your size will arrive. I’ll organize them tonight.”
“It’ll be fast.”
“Yeah. It will. You’ll leave right now but you need to write a letter. A goodbye and a brief reason for your leaving. Can you do that?” he asked.
“Of course.”
“Dog will be the one to hold it. Everyone knows you two are tight.”
