him, even if it kills me to do so.
    “I’m ready,” I say quietly to Randy.
    “Will you be okay?”
    “I’ll be fine Randy. I just need my anxiety medicine is all.”
    I have a feeling he wasn’t talking about my anxiety. I respect him enough not to talk about my business with ZZ even though it would be nice to get it out. I decide I’ll talk with Winter and Piper tomorrow at work.

Chapter Five
    Winter
    Storm’s been moping around all day. I can tell something’s bothering her. During the wedding planning, she’s barely said two words. She was more excited about my wedding than I was, so I know something is digging at her fucking bad.
    “Angel,” Braxxon breathes from behind me.
    I smile as I turn around. “Hey baby,” I coo.
    “You were thinkin’ pretty hard there babe. What’s up?” he asks while wrapping his arms around me.
    “Somethin’s up with Storm. She’s been quiet all day.”
    Braxxon cringes in my arms causing me to pull away. He’s hiding shit from me. He only cringes when he doesn’t wanna tell me he knows shit I dunno.
    “Talk,” I demand, pulling away and crossing my arms across my chest, raising my tits in the air more. What? I never said I fight fair. He might need a little incentive.
    “Stop pushing those tits up; it’ll just make me wanna fuck you,” he growls.
    I roll my eyes. “You always wanna fuck me. Now talk!”
    “You’re right. Dammit! ZZ asked me what it felt like to be in love last night at the club.”
    Oh? My eyes widen. I motion with a go on gesture.
    “I swear babe I will fuckin’ take away eating your pussy for a month if you say anything!”
    Oh yeah fucking right! That motherfucker can’t go two days without tasting my juices. But still I appease him.
    “Cross my heart,” I tease.
    “Baby I’m serious. He’s my fuckin’ brother. This shit is supposed to stay confidential. Dammit woman, you make me break all kinds of fuckin’ rules!”
    “Yeah, yeah I got it. Now fuckin’ talk; you’re pissing me off!”
    “Testy little bitch today.” He chuckles at me.
    Most women would get pissed if their man called them a bitch and I used to, but now it’s fuckin’ hot as hell.
    “Fine. Storm admitted that she loved him, and he’s all fucked up about it.”
    I don’t see what’s so different about any other time she’s told him. Maybe it’s just now getting to him? I throw my head to the side searching out for where Storm went off too. I’m not liking this.
    “Braxx,” I whisper.
    “Yeah baby?”
    “This could be bad. I can’t lose another friend. What if she decides to leave because he can’t love her back? Oh, shit! She will, she will totally fuckin’ leave me!”
    Braxxon throws me against his chest cooing at me to calm down and I can’t. I lost Lana. I can’t lose any more friends. I just can’t do it.
    “Winter?”
    I hear Storm’s reluctant voice say my name as if it’s a question. Shit!
    “Talk to her baby.” Braxxon lets his strong hold fall.
    “Okay,” I choke. “Where are you gonna go?”
    Braxxon’s gorgeous face contorts into anger and I know he’s pissed.
    “I’m gonna go knock the block off my road captains shoulders. That’s where I’m goin. Love you, Angel.”
    He kisses me briefly and softly as I mumble it back.
    I wait a few moments before turning my attention completely to Storm. She looks utterly devastated. Storm, Piper, and Tatiana are like my sisters. Just like Lana was and it kills me when they’re hurting.
    “You wanna talk about it,” I ask wiping away tears.
    “Please?”
    “Storm… I love you like a sister. I’m always here when you need to talk. Let’s go to the office. You can let it go girl. Your sister has you now,” I say as she leans into my side and we start walking.
    “I love you, too.” She says quietly.
    I hope Braxxon rips into ZZ.

    “ZZ!” I roar as I slam the clubhouse door open.
    That motherfuckin’ prick upset my Angel. No one and I mean no one causes my
