“Yes,” Moon managed to croak out.

He found himself flung backward against the wall. The filing cabinet shook, sending the files on top sliding toward him. He managed to catch them and balanced them back on top. Then Moon warily watched Viper take a seat behind the desk.

“You better have a damn good explanation about what happened last night.” Viper shot him a dangerous glance, which if it had ammunition, he would be dead. “Because, right now, it’s taking everything I have not to beat your ass to Kingdom Come, and that would be if Shade and Razer left me a piece of you. Don’t think I didn’t see the way you looked at them last night. Do you have a fucking death wish?”

“I know I handled last night badly.”

“You think?” he snarled. “What in the fuck got into you? Have you been sniffing glue?”

Moon guessed the question was rhetorical because Viper didn’t give him a chance to defend himself.

“It’s the only thing I can think that could possibly explain how asinine you acted. Winter told me you seem to be under the mistaken belief”—his voice rose with each grated word out of his mouth—“that my wife snuck into your bedroom the night they got in a fight at Mick’s bar.”

Moon battled back the embarrassment filling him as Viper repeated what he had said to Winter. Shit, he didn’t have to be a rocket scientist, which he clearly wasn’t, to know Winter, Lily, and Beth now thought he was a first-class douchebag after last night. He had acted like a fucking asshole toward some chick in town because it was easier to take his frustration out on a stranger than on someone you had to live with.

Coming to a conclusion, he decided he might as well come clean and see if Viper could help solve the riddle of who the woman had been, as he was making zero progress on his own.

“Someone came into my room that night, I fucked her, she left. I have no idea who she was. I didn’t fuck air, nor was it a wet dream. I’ve ruled out all the club women—it wasn’t any of them. I asked Winter who had gone upstairs that night, and she told me the only person who went upstairs during the party was her …” Seeing Viper’s expression darken, he hastened to add, “So, going by what she says, I either fucked her or she’s lying.”

Moon took a hasty step back from the desk when Viper rose from his chair to lunge toward him.

“Call her a liar again, and I’ll rip out your tongue.” Viper snarled, straightening after the failed attempt to grab him.

“You’re president of The Last Riders—be fucking impartial for a fucking minute and hear me out. Wouldn’t it bug the piss out of you if the shoe were on the other foot? Take Winter out of the equation and be open-minded. I don’t think it was her, but she’s protecting someone. I want to know who it is.”

Viper’s grim demeanor didn’t relax. “You’re always managing to get involved in some stupid shit! I’m fucking sick of your bullshit nonsense. Wizard is, too. Hell, the whole club is.” He sat back down on the chair behind the desk. “You’ve crossed the line with Winter.”

Moon’s jaw clenched. “I know … but this shit … it’s driving me nuts.”

Viper wasn’t sympathetic. “Maybe so, but you should have told me and asked me to talk to her. Don’t think I don’t know why you decided to confront Winter instead of the other women. If she knows, the other women know as well. You want me to play referee to keep yourself alive before you press your luck with them. Brother, you’re going down a slippery slope testing those women. Shade will kill your ass if you say the wrong thing to Lily. Razer will, too, but it will be more painful. And we both know you don’t want to fuck around and find out with Reaper.”

Obstinately, Moon stared at Viper. “I’m not going to let it rest.”

“I know you’re not … Fuck!” Viper picked up a stapler to throw it at him.

Moon tilted his head to dodge the flying missile.

“You’re leaving. There’s a truck heading out this afternoon. You, Jesus, and Puck are going to be escorts. You three can stay at the Ohio chapter. I don’t need you here anymore. You’ll be more useful there, anyway. Seems like most of the thefts are happening there—the missing orders are being logged out of here but coming up short on the other end. Wizard can deal with your bullshit.”

Moon was about to argue that he wasn’t leaving until he found out who had slipped into his room, but Viper’s chilly expression stopped him cold.

“I’ll find out who in the hell she was, and maybe I’ll let you come back then.”
