Jess
I was in heaven. My body ached in all the right places, I felt happy, content for the first time in a long time. I knew it had been a while since I had sex but I never remembered feeling like this way the day after. I felt lighter, energetic, like I had a pep in my step.
Smiling, I reached my arm out to find the bed empty. Sitting up, I looked around his room, my eyes landing on the clock. It was only a little after six in the morning.
Where in the hell was Savage?
Getting up, I checked the bathroom to find it empty.
Standing there in his bedroom with the bedsheet wrapped around me, I looked around his room and a small trickle of fear took root. I didn’t want to believe he would do this to me.
Not him. Not after what we just shared.
I didn’t want to believe he was like the others.
Shaking my head, I tried to reason with myself. Savage wasn’t like the rest of them. He couldn’t be. He just went to get something to eat. Maybe Hailey was awake and he was with her.
Yes, that was it. He was with Hailey.
Leaving his bedroom, I walked down the hall and slowly opened Bullseye’s door to find the room quiet. Hailey was sleeping in her crib. Savage nowhere to be seen. Closing the door, I looked around at all the closed doors. It was too damn early for the brothers to be awake. If anything, they all just went to bed.
Heading to my own room, I closed the door behind me, letting the bed sheet fall to the floor. My mind trying to process what I didn’t want to believe.
The simplest explanation was always the right one.
There was no other option.
He used me. He got what he wanted and now he was done.
I headed for the bathroom, I quickly showered, brushed my teeth, and got dressed for the day. By the time I laced up my shoes, I was seething. I was so fucking done with this place, this fucking club and I never wanted to see Savage again.
“Fucking bastard,” I muttered before leaving my room and headed downstairs. The main gathering room was void of anyone. Silence surrounded me, as I made my way down to the infirmary.
I was going to check on the patients one more time, then pack my shit because I was not staying here one more minute than I had to. I didn’t give a fuck what Reaper dictated. He can take his orders and shove them up his ass. I wasn’t a member of this damn club and I sure as hell wasn’t anyone’s Ol’Lady. Thank fuck for that. These bastards had finally pushed me passed my limit. I was done. I was going to leave this place and this fucking club and never look back.
Grabbing Ink’s chart, I walked into his room. He was still sleeping and as quietly as I could I checked his vitals. He looked so much better, his color returning, and I knew he would be back on his feet within the next week or so. The antibiotics finally doing what they were intended for. Making notes in his chart, I left him to rest and went to check on Remi.
Hearing voices, I softly knocked before I opened the door.
Remi was sitting up in bed, smiling as she breastfed her son, Reaper looking adoringly at her.
Fuck. I should have known he would be in here with her.
Plastering on my best smile, I entered and said, “Good morning, everyone.”
“Jess!” Remi smiled. “Come look at my baby.”
“I’m so happy to see you awake, momma. How are you feeling?” I asked, walking over to her with her chart in my hand. I placed it on the small table beside her and checked her saline bag.
“He’s so beautiful, Jess,” she said, in awe as she fed her son.
“Yes, he is and even better, he is perfectly healthy.”
“Thank you for taking care of him while I was sleeping. Max told me you were a big help.”
“Just doing my job. Now, how is your incision?”
“Sore. It barely hurts.”
