Rain: Book 3 of Playing for Keeps

I hate the fact that I never told Donna about Raylan. We were at CJ’s to say our goodbyes. Raylan had just gotten engaged and her man was in the bar that night. She sat on my lap and kissed me goodbye. It was for the last time. I am never going to see her again. She knew about Donna. She was upset to see Donna look at me with tears flowing down her face. Raylan wanted to run to Donna and tell her that she was getting married but Donna was gone.

I was supposed to claim Donna in two days but that is not happening. At least not right now. The other Valkyrie had seen the other women on their man's laps and we all expected to come back to angry women. Instead, we walk into a clubhouse that is too quiet. When Star slapped my face I deserved it. I am working on the motor and getting nowhere. I can’t keep my mind on what I need to do. I walked into the office of the garage and sat down at the desk. I put my head in my hands.

I heard the door open and looked up to see Rage standing there. Thinking about Donna? I leaned back in the chair and looked at him. She is all I think about Rage. I should have told her about Raylan but I never did. I’m sorry Beast. I know that Raylan and Donna are the only women who have not run from you. Raylan was your high school love but Donna is the woman you want to claim. We are all in the dog house you know.

I laughed. Yes, we are. But for me more than the rest of you. We all knew better. We all just never thought we would get caught. But you never know who is going to be around and your secret comes out. I hurt her Rage. After everything she had been through I just had to add to her pain. So, Rain is still not talking to you? I sat down in front of the desk. No, she isn’t. She won’t let me touch her. None of the women will touch their men.

I think we are going to be begging before long. At least your women are still here. Mine left for two weeks. And she stays in her room most of the time and when she is in the bar she keeps her back to me. Just then we saw a flower truck pull up. Wonder what they are doing here. We stood up and walked outside to watch. We heard the delivery man ask If Donna lived here. Yes, she lives here. We have a delivery for her. If you can sign here he said holding out a pad.

We watched as Panther sign it. Where can I put them the man asked. Follow me. I watched as the man picked up two vases full of roses, then walked back out and carried two more in. Then he walked our five more times and carried in planters and a few stuffed bears with their arms wrapped around a vase. What the hell I said. Is the whole fucking van full of flowers for Donna? We closed the shop and locked it before walking to the club.

We saw the girls looking at the flowers and then Rain said, Who the hell is Raven? It says the president of the Night Hawk MC. How would she even know him? Rage and I looked at each other. Some man wants my woman. I will not have that. Who is he Star asked? I don’t know Star said Rain. I have never heard of him. Donna never mentioned anyone named Raven. And where is the Nighthawk MC located? They are in Virginia but have a sister club in Celina, Ohio. Maybe they have come into the shop for a tattoo. Why would they when they have their own in Celina?

Who knows how he knows Donna. But I assure you she doesn’t know any Raven. Back at the restaurant, I looked over at Raven. What are you smiling about Raven? What president to you know that is named Rage and has a woman named Rain and a VP named Beast? The Freedom Rider MC. I wonder what Beast did to make her call off the claiming? Don’t know but I plan on making him jealous. How are you going to do that?

Make Beast think that I know the woman he loves. Make him realize that with a beautiful woman like her there are other men out here that would give their right arm to claim her as their woman. I am going to have Lucky look into who Beast’s woman is. Then send her flowers, plants, stuffed bears.

Of course with my name on them. You can sure be evil Raven. Yes, I can. I don’t think Beast is fucking another woman but he needs to know how easy it is to lose the woman you love. I had to learn the hard way. So let’s get back to Celina and find out her name and do this.
