I turned my head up to look at him. “What are you going to do about Nicholas?” I asked him.
“I’m riding with Travis up to where Henry and Nicholas are, and we’re going to solve this mess as quickly as possible. I don’t want to kill Nicholas, but I know I’m going to have to. He’s too far gone. He’ll just do what he did to start all of this shit all over again.”
Travis came into the room, sending me a small smile. My heart fluttered in my chest. Fuck, I loved his smile. “Baby, do you want to come upstairs with me?”
I got up and followed him up the stairs. When we got in our room, Travis closed the door and went over to the closet, pulling down a duffel bag from the very top. My heart sunk down to my feet.
He was leaving.
“I’m going to be gone for a while. I don’t want to leave, but I’ve got to in order to solve this mess. It’s going to take more than shooting my dad and taking over the Black Skulls to sort this shit out. I’m going to have to get rid of members that are going to cause me problems and clean up my dad’s mistakes. It’s going to be nasty and brutal, so I want you to stay here with Amy and Grace, okay?”
I sighed and sat on the bed. I knew he wasn’t going to let me go with him no matter what, so I didn’t bother fighting him on it. Besides, I wanted him as focused as possible so he could come back home to me. Having me there to worry about might get him killed.
“What’s your plan?” I asked softly.
He began packing some clothes, and I watched with sadness as he did so. I really, really didn’t want him to leave, but I knew he had to. It was something I was going to have to get used to if I stayed with him after he took over the Black Skulls. He was going to have to leave, sometimes for long periods of time.
“Your dad, Liam, Luke, Ryan, and I are going to ride up there and get a hotel. First thing the next morning, I’m hunting Nicholas and my dad down. Liam’s got a location on them, so it’ll make it a bit easier. We’ll do a sneak attack and get rid of them. Then, I’ll bring back all of the Black Skulls to the Black Skulls territory and sever the ties to the Bloody Royals. I know it’s going to cause a lot of shit but forming an alliance and joining clubs with anyone isn’t smart, especially when both are very powerful.”
I nodded in understanding. “When are you leaving?”
“Tomorrow morning,” he said. I sighed, my heart officially dropping to the pit of my stomach. I hated that he was leaving so soon. “I want this solved as soon as possible. Can I trust you to hold things down around here while I’m gone?”
Tears filled my eyes, but I forced myself to hold them in. I had to be strong. I was about to become the old lady of the Black Skulls’ president. I had to be strong and support him with his decisions, starting now. This was the life of a biker and his old lady. Things had to happen – like this – and sometimes, they had to happen in the spur of the moment.
“You have my word,” I murmured.
He zipped the bag up and walked over to me. Grabbing my face in his hands, he kissed me deeply, laying me back on the bed. “Let’s make the best of the time we have left together until I have to leave,” he whispered against my lips.
I wrapped my arms and legs around him tightly, kissing him back desperately. I knew I would never be able to get my fill of him before he left, but this was better than nothing. I’d take what I could while I still had the time.

Travis slid my shirt off of me and kissed and sucked all over my neck and jaw, drawing those moans he loved so much from my lips. He ran his rough hands up my sides, caressing my soft skin. I whimpered as he pressed hot, open-mouthed kisses to my chest, and I arched my back, sighing at the feel of his lips on my skin. I cried out in shock when he shoved my bra cup down and licked my nipple. I yanked on the dirty-blonde strands of his hair, my body trembling.
This man was going to be the death of me.
How was his tongue this magical?
He sensuously slid his hands under my back and unclipped my bra, slowly sliding it off of me, his gaze holding mine the entire time. With his eyes connected to mine, he licked my nipple and blew on it, making it harden. He smirked when I tightened my body in pleasure.
