didn’t. Her body and mind were at war and so far her body was winning. Then again, her mind wasn’t putting up much of a fight. A tumble with him might just clear her headache, she smirked to herself.
Duke
    He hated watching Nicole walk away from him. It felt unnatural somehow. The group continued to discuss what she’d told them.
    “Fuck. I never thought how dangerous it would be for her to be here after she told me about Riot earlier. Just thought about what we could find out. Shit.” Duke was trying to keep his cool, he hadn’t fully appreciated her unwillingness to share. He thought she was just being cagey or hiding something. He understood it now though, after everything she’d said. Listening to her describing her punishments and encounters with Wrath, and other Riot brothers, made him want to attack them straight away. He knew she’d majorly skimmed over the details too, and he wanted so badly to know everything so that he could make every punch and bullet hole coming to those fuckers count.
    She sure as shit wouldn’t be put in any danger by being here at the compound, if he had anything to do with it. She could stay with him in his apartment upstairs, if need be. It would get her off the first floor and no one would expect her to be in there. He supposed she could move into one of the brothers’ rooms on the second floor that wasn’t occupied full time and knew plenty would offer. He would pound every last one into the ground if that happened until she had nowhere to go but to him. He chose to ignore the fact that the compound had never been infiltrated, and that what floor she was on was of little consequence. His growing obsession was starting to piss him off. He needed to screw her out of his system, that was all. One night and he’d be back to his old self. He internally scoffed, he couldn’t even convince himself of that lie.
    “Fucking, Nole. He should have told us she’d spent time there. He may be a dumb bastard but he knows enough, and he would be well aware that this could start a storm of shit with Riot.” Razor always had his back.
    “Nothing we can do differently now. She’ll have to stay inside the compound boundaries at all times. I know, Shel, you were gonna pass the grocery shopping on to her while she was here, but it ain’t goin’ to happen. You’ll have keep it up. Other than beat the piss out of Nole Fletcher, there’s not much else we can do until we know more. The shit she told us, if it’s still accurate, is like the fucking golden goose taking a dump in our lap. This could all be a good thing. Guess we’ll have wait and see.” Prez was right. As usual.
    “Shit, Tanya just texted saying Rod’s sick. I’m gonna have go get him and take him home. Razor, could you show Nicole the kitchen and say I’ll sort the rest with her tomorrow? She seemed comfortable around you. I’ve gotta go.” Shel stood up to leave.
    “Sure. No problem. Besides she may need a hand!” He waggled his eyebrows and thrust his fingers suggestively.
    Something in Duke exploded. “You keep your fucking hand to yourself! I’ll show her the fucking kitchen.” The mere idea of his brother getting to her first had him spitting.
    “Okay, okay. I know the score, you saw her first. However, if you don’t seal the deal tonight, all bets are off come morning. That’s some quality pussy and I ain’t gonna give any other brother the chance of a shot with her if she don’t want your moody ass.” His brothers started laughing, particularly Kick and Hollywood.
    “Fuck you! You stay the hell away from Nicole, or I’ll nail you to the fucking wall!” He couldn’t stop the words firing from his mouth. He’d lost control. Fuck. He had never threatened his brother unless they were joking around.
    “He’s right you know. Musketeers have already offered her a trial run.” Hollywood, added. He loved pulling a reaction out of Duke.
    No way Duke would let her end up with those three’s ‘property
