right in front of him. She gave him everything he
needed in life and in the bedroom. Eva completed him.
    “It’s my club. This is my problem.”
    “Your club is filled with men you helped to be
something. Nash is straight, and Lash is as protective of the club as he is of
Angel. You’ve got men around you who want to help. This is not just your club
anymore. It’s so much more than that.”
    Cupping her cheek, he stared into her eyes. He was in
his fifties getting older by the second, but the love in her eyes kept him
going, kept him moving forward. The constant problems the club was facing were making
him feel older. Life should be getting easier, not harder, yet in the past
couple of years life had become just one more battle at a time.
    “Use the guys, Tiny. They’re here for a reason. They
all wanted to be part of The Skulls.”
    “Gonzalez is not like any other enemy we’ve faced.”
    “Why not?” Eva asked. “He’s a man with a dick and a heart. I’m with Devil on this
one. He can be hurt like everyone else. There’s no difference between him and
the other men. He’s in the same league as Alan, and we took him out. An enemy
is an enemy, Tiny. See past the fear to the truth.”
    “Prue took Alan out. The club hasn’t dealt with this
kind of power before.”
    “Are you telling me that you can’t take a man out?
You’re Tiny, president and leader of The Skulls. You can do whatever the hell
you want. You’ve fought far worse than Gonzalez.” She pressed a hand to his
chest. “Don’t let him win.”
    “Who have I fought, Eva? I’ve never had someone invade
my fucking life, take my kids—”
    “Snitch, The Darkness crew, The Lions, Kelsey’s
husband, they’ve all been your enemies, the club’s enemies. Gonzalez is no
different. He’s no fucking superhero.”
    “He took our kids from us and threw us in jail, baby.
I’m not going to risk it. I’m not going to risk you.”
    The slap to the face he wasn’t expecting.
    “Stop being a fucking coward,” she said, yelling the
words. Eva tore out of his grip. Anger shot his way, pouring out of her gaze as
if it was a physical thing. “This fucker needs to be hit back. Devil did the
right thing. The whole of Chaos Bleeds are fighting. They’ve got exactly the
same kind of shit to lose that we have,” she said, throwing her hands in the
air and cursing. “You’re more worried about me and the kids. Stop
being so damn blind and see what he’s doing to the two clubs. He’s
tearing apart you and Devil. The only difference between you and Devil is he’s actually hitting back.”
    “I know he’s got the same shit to lose, but I can’t
let anything happen to you.”
    “And he can’t with Lexie or his three kids, Tiny.
You’ve both got the same to lose. You’re no different from him, and he’s no
different from you.” She stormed toward the door, refusing to look back. “You
need to decide if you’re going to stay and fight or if you’re going to run away
like a coward. I don’t think either choice is an option that’s going to be easy.”
She opened the door, and he watched her walk away from him.
    Going back behind his desk, he dropped his head to the
desk and let out a sigh. Shit was really starting to get serious. The last
thing he was, was a coward. He wasn’t running from
Gonzalez because he was afraid. No, he was running because he had a hell of a
lot more to lose.
    “Things go bad?” Devil asked, opening the door.
Glancing up, he saw Devil entering the room.
    “You could say that. I don’t know. I think I’m pissed
off more than anything else.” Sitting back in his chair, Tiny stared at his
friend. “Why did you do it?”
    “I’m not like you, Tiny. I can’t sit on my ass waiting
for shit to happen. I’ve been on the road longer than you have. It’s not part
of me to simply take shit lying down.”
    “You were going to.”
    “They killed Ashley, and I promised her my protection.
She may have been a club whore,
