Lawless (Defenders MC Book 2) Read Online Free PDF

life had become.  She wondered if Mace felt this way somewhere deep inside and she decided she must, she had to.  No one could enjoy this life. 
    Nikki wiped a tear from her face.  She had to learn to deal with it.  She felt a kinship with the women at Tease.  They didn’t seem to be miserable and somehow Nikki would learn from them.  They were her family now and she would figure out how to fit in with them.
    She had only slept for an hour after she’d been dumped at home and tried to scrub the filth from her body.  Now she had to go to the club and try to pretend that she wasn’t the filthiest whore in the room.  She had to accept what she had become and learn to live with it.
     
    Law watched Nikki go through the motions of practicing her routine.  He saw her reach up from time to time and wondered if she really was crying as he suspected.  The other girls were giving her pitying looks and plenty of room and for some reason that tugged at him.  He wanted to go to her just so she wouldn’t be so alone.  He ground his teeth at the thought and let his eyes caress her body.  He saw the dark smudges on her skin and wondered which of his brothers had marred her.  It was strange to him that it pissed him off so bad, but he knew he would beat the shit out of the man who bruised her if he knew who it was.  He only half listened as Shad went over the security for the shipment and the rumors that were circulating about the Devils.
    “Law are you fucking listening?”  Shad said in his quiet voice that made the temperature in the room seem to drop.
    “Yeah.”  He couldn’t stand the way she looked today, something was off and he hoped it wasn’t his fault.  It was like her light had just gone out.
    “Damn it Law, this shit is serious and there you are mooning over some damned whore like a teenager.  I gotta know you got my fucking back here.”
    That stung.  Law glared at his brother.  “What the fuck does that mean Shad?  You lost faith in me?  After all the shit that’s gone down, you question me?”
    “Fuck you Law.  You know I trust you.”  Law met his brother’s eyes and knew trust remained.  “But get your head in this. If that bitch is distracting you, get her the fuck out of here.”
    “I don’t like her being this close while we talk anyway.”  Spec put in as he pushed his glasses up his nose.  “I still can’t figure out where she came from.”  He chewed on his lip and studied Nikki like a bug under a microscope.
    Shad cut his eyes to Law.  “She a threat?”
    Law shrugged.  “How the fuck should I know?  Spec said Riders woman spoke for her.  I’m just fucking her.”
    Shadow’s eyes cut to the stage.  “I think I need to have a talk with your new piece Law.  Lacey said she looked familiar to her, but she couldn’t place her.”
    Lacey worked as the ADA of Combine County and somehow didn’t mix work and home.  If she had seen Nikki it could be telling.
     
    Nikki felt those black eyes turn to her and her body turned to stone.  She saw death in his face and she knew if she didn’t run now, he would kill her.  That man was like the death angel her grandma always talked about and he would bring her death if he looked into her soul.  He would see the darkness that had encased her and the emptiness and he would claim her soul forever.
    Nikki shivered at the course her thoughts had taken.  She forced herself to practice for another five minutes and excused herself.  Then she ran.  Her stepbrother couldn’t hurt her as bad as that man with the black eyes and nothing terrified her as much.  She would face Teddy or better yet, she would just go home.  She could run away from here and when she got home she would tell the sheriff she worked for what was going on.  He would protect her.  She closed her eyes or the Devils would just kill him and anyone else that got in their way.  A fat tear rolled down her face and landed on her thigh.  Was there any way for
