“Moon?” Stud hazarded the guess with an embarrassed expression.

“Yes!” Larissa practically yelled in irritation. “I should have let the police come and arrest him. Instead, I told them it was a mistake. The big idiot sat there for days. And you know what he did?” Her shrill voice made the listening men flinch.

Larissa could see from Stud’s expression that even wild horses wouldn’t make him ask.

“What?” Killyama asked with strangled laughter.

“He broke into my mother’s house!”

“I would have called the police on his ass!” Sex Piston vented.

Larissa’s shoulders slumped in defeat. “I didn’t want to get him in trouble. I decided to come back to Treepoint and ask to meet him so we could talk. I wanted to talk to my sisters first and try to ease their concerns. Killyama had been calling me, wanting me to come back, so I texted and told her, and she wanted me to stop for lunch on the way to Treepoint, that I would be able to see Sex Piston and the rest of them, so I thought, what’s a couple of hours?” She made a self-deprecating face at herself. “I can’t seem to do anything right where he is concerned.”

Stud gestured toward the other men. Bikes started then drove out of the parking lot. Turning his gaze back to her, he said, “You could have explained this to him here.”

Larissa shifted on her feet awkwardly. “He freaks me out when he talks to me. I’m scared of him. When he came to my office to talk to me, he punched a hole in the wall,” she explained.

Stud’s hardened expression relaxed. “I wouldn’t head back to Treepoint just yet. Wait until you and Moon can talk. When you’re feeling more comfortable, go live with your sisters. The brothers and I can keep an eye on you in case he decides to throw any more punches at walls.”

Larissa shook her head. “I don’t have a place to live here. I don’t have a job here—”

“Don’t worry about a place to stay,” Sex Piston interrupted. “My parents have a spare room; you can stay with them for as long as you want.”

“I couldn’t impose—”

“Girl.” Sex Piston waved away her protest. “Sizzle will love the company. So will Pop. You could still work with your sisters. Women in Jamestown have babies, too.”

“I still want you to be my midwife.” Killyama used her pregnant belly to move Sex Piston out of the way. “We got you, girl. That motherfucker comes here to throw his weight around, I’ll kick his ass.”

Larissa gave a shaky laugh. “I’m not normally a wimp … or at least I don’t think I am. I’m just not a very confrontational person.”

“Pfft,” Killyama sounded. “Don’t worry about it. None of us have that problem.”

Stud gave her a wry smile. “I can vouch for that.”

Larissa watched as he got off his bike and took out his cell phone. Curious, she turned to Sex Piston.

“Knowing my husband, he’s giving Viper a heads-up that you’re under the Destructors’ protection.”

“That’s only going to make Moon angrier.” Worriedly, she started to move toward him.

Beth, who had remained silent until then, placed a hand on her arm. “Let Stud talk to him. Viper is reasonable, and he’s used to dealing with Moon.”

“I don’t want to make the situation worse. I’ve already messed it up bad enough.”

“You made some bad decisions,” Beth told her frankly. “But so did we. We snuck everyone into the club when we shouldn’t have. None of us were exactly eager to confess, either, because we didn’t want them to know we broke the rules. I’m not great at confrontations, either,” she admitted, giving her a comforting squeeze on the arm. “And my sister is even worse. The Last Riders are overwhelming at first, but once you get to know them, you’ll find none of them would actually physically hurt a woman. I do believe Moon hitting Ginny was an accident.

“Stay with Sex Piston’s parents for a few days. Viper will talk to him. I can, too. Give him the information he wants and show him you’re willing to meet him halfway where the baby is concerned. He is the baby’s father; you’re going to have to learn to get along with him, whether you want to or not.”

Beth’s sensible advice was what she had desperately needed.

“I can do that.” Larissa felt herself grow more confident. How on earth was she capable of being calm and collected when a mother and child’s life depended on her capabilities, yet she became a complete basket case when it had something to do with Moon?

“Good.” Beth gave her an encouraging grin. “Their bark is really worse than their bite.”

Stud, who had moved from behind Beth, heard what she said. His expression was comical as he resumed his seat on his motorcycle.
