Piper: Iron Angels MC, Book Two

By Samantha McCoy

Penelope “Piper” Kimber is not your average biker chick or police Detective either. As a member of the Iron Angels MC, Piper keeps more to the outside of things, but when a case leads her back to the Angel’s clubhouse doorsteps, Piper is forced to bring back some painful memories for someone she loves. Working alongside her sisters, Piper pieces together a puzzle that will put more than just herself in danger. It might just be the very thing that takes everything from her and totally destroys her world.

Aidan Wright has been in love with Piper since the moment he saw her, not that he would admit it to anyone. He watches from the background as she puts herself in danger to protect others, every single day. But when a case leads Piper into darker areas of crime, Aidan refuses to let her go alone. He would follow her anywhere, even through the gates of Hell. Calling in a favor, Aidan will risk everything he has built for himself to keep the women he loves safe.

Love is a powerful weapon. It can build and it can destroy; but most importantly, it can heal. Boundaries will be tested. Loyalty will be decided. And love, well love will determine it all.

Chapter One

Piper

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Reaching over, she smacked the alarm. Maybe she could call in sick, claim to have anal glaucoma — as in she couldn’t see her ass coming into work today, but doubted the chief would go for it. The weekend had been brutal. Death and destruction. Not to mention the ride back was horrid.

Piper threw back the covers and stood with a groan. Four hours on the back of a bike had not been kind to her.

When did I start feeling so old? she asked herself out loud.

Heading to the kitchen, she flipped the switch to start the coffee brewing and popped a piece of toast into the toaster. As the smell of her life force filled the room, she stared out the window to the little park across the street. It was empty, but soon children would be running around. Mothers and fathers playing with their little ones. It wasn’t something Piper had ever really thought about, but one day she wanted to be one of those parents.

Gotta have a man first!

Like that will ever happen anytime soon, she mumbled, stepping away from the view.

Grabbing the toast from the toaster, Piper shoved it into her mouth as she quickly made her coffee and headed back to her bedroom to get ready for work.

Being a Houston Police Detective was one of the greatest joys in her life, most days. Today, however, was not that day. She knew she would receive some repercussions about getting involved in what happened back in Austin, but there was no way she could have just left her sister, Sapphire, sitting in jail.

Piper still didn’t know what exactly happened to Chaz Montgomery, but she had her suspicions. And if she were honest with herself, as a member of law enforcement, she should have said something to the APD, but she didn’t. It was a choice she made, and if given the chance to do it all again, she would have still made the same decision.

Chaz Montgomery was a parasite. He was being investigated by several different agencies for everything from drugs to human-trafficking. But no matter how close they got, nobody could ever find anything solid to pin him down with. Now, they wouldn’t have to. As far as Piper was concerned, whoever took him out, did the taxpayers of this country a favor.

No three hots and a cot for that motherfucker.

Grabbing her gun out of the safe on her dresser, Piper attached it to her hip and headed back to the kitchen. One cup of coffee wouldn’t get her through this morning, so she grabbed her travel mug from the cabinet and poured the remaining coffee into it. After adding cream and sugar, and with a quick stir — Piper was heading out the door.

The early morning Texas sky was something that Piper loved. The colors, right before the sun peeked out, deep blues and purples, fiery oranges and reds were beautiful. This was the part of the day she enjoyed. Before all the heat, before all the crowds of people, before all the crime turned the city ugly. In the quiet, still of the morning, Piper found peace.

Jumping into her classic Nineteen-seventy-two Chevelle, she fired it up and let the rumble soothe her even more. She loved this car. It was a present from her mother and Piper cherished it. Still, in perfect showroom condition, it was her most prized possession.

Backing out of her parking space, Piper headed off to the station. Traffic in the city, no matter the time of day or night, was always crazy, but early morning rush hour was the worst and she tried to avoid it as much as possible. Forty-one minutes later, Piper was pulling into the station just a little before five a.m. She took her time getting out of the car and walking into the building. She had no idea what this day would entail, so every minute of peace she could get, she’d take.

Hey, Piper, Franklin called on his way into the building.

Hey. Piper nodded her head.

Franklin was another Detective with the PD and worked a few desks down from her. He was a nice guy and had asked her out once, but he wasn’t really her type. Not that she had a type. For Piper, it was more of a feeling. If she liked you, then she did. If she didn’t — well, she didn’t.

Care to join me on the amazing elevator ride to hell? Franklin quipped.

Sounds about right, Piper grinned. I did not want to get out of bed this morning.

Long night?

Yeah, but not the fun kind of long, Piper replied. I got home late from a trip to Austin.

Oh, that’s right. You had the biker ball, Franklin nodded. I remember hearing you talk about it.

Yeah.

How was it?

Piper turned towards Franklin with a disgusted look on her face and rolled her eyes. She wouldn’t give him the details but knew her look said everything it needed to when Franklin started to chuckle.

That bad?

Worse.

The ride in the elevator to the third floor was uneventful. Other than her and Franklin and a dispatcher, nobody else had entered. Stepping out, Piper was immediately greeted by the smell of sweat, donuts, and coffee. The room was already starting to fill up with other officers, each doing their own thing. As Piper entered, a couple of heads turned her direction. Being one of the only female detectives in the city, it wasn’t uncommon for the newbies to be surprised when she came to work.

Sitting at her desk, Piper turned on her computer and logged in. She needed to look over a few cases that were still open and see if anything had come through over the weekend. She also had a couple that she had to finish up, close, and send over to the District Attorney’s office.

Kimber! A voice boomed across the bullpen. And all heads turned in her direction. My office. Now.

Shit!

She knew it was coming, but really hoped she could at least get through her coffee beforehand. Apparently, that was not her luck though.

Standing from her desk, she walked towards the Chief’s office. What the fuck are y’all looking at? Piper asked. Don’t you have some work to fuckin’ do?

Piper’s irritation was rising fast, along with her temper. Sometimes she felt like she worked with a bunch of nosey ninnies.

What’s up, Chief? Piper asked, leaning against the door frame.

Come in and close the door.

Okay.

Piper did as she was asked and stood with her back against it. She knew this wasn’t going to take long and would probably end badly. Right now, she could punch Sapphire in the twat for getting her into this mess, for making her risk her job. But at the same time, Piper couldn’t blame her sister. She made the choice, not Sapphire. After all, Sapphire hadn’t done anything wrong.

Do you mind telling me what the fuck happened in Austin? How the hell did you get mixed up in a murder investigation involving your sister?

I wasn’t going to let my sister take the heat for something she didn’t do, Chief.

You should have stayed out of it.

Stayed out of it? She’s my sister and I knew she was innocent.

I don’t care, Chief’s voice boomed again. It was not your place.

"It was my place, Piper countered. I wasn’t about to let Sapphire spend the night or however long in jail over a crime she didn’t commit."

It was not your job.

Yes, it was! Piper’s temper was about to come unhinged. If that was your sister, your daughter, your wife — would you have stood back and done nothing?

My sister, wife, and daughter aren’t stupid enough to get involved with a bunch of criminal bikers, Chief replied.

Fuck you, Piper said before she could stop herself. "You sure as hell didn’t mind using those bikers, my mother in particular when this office couldn’t get a job done. You didn’t mind when I used those ‘criminal biker’ connections to solve and close cases. But now, you want to talk shit about the same people who saved your ass and have kept you sitting pretty in this big, nice, comfy office? Yeah, Cooper, Fuck you!"

Piper turned towards the door and swung it open so hard that it smashed against the wall. She was done with this shit.

That arrogant, pompous, jackass!

Kimber! Chief hollered.

Piper just kept walking.

Piper! He yelled again.

She raised her right hand high and gave him a single finger salute.

Penelope! Chief tried again. This time he succeeded in stopping Piper in her tracks.

Slowly, she turned around, Fuck you, Cooper, she said, sending him her deadliest glare. I’m fuckin’ out!

Grabbing her computer and coffee mug, Piper made her way over to the elevator and jabbed the button. She had to get out of here before she did something she would regret, like shoot her boss.

As the elevator doors opened and Piper stepped inside, she heard Cooper slam his office door closed and felt immense satisfaction when she heard him bellow, Shit!

Yeah, asshole.

* * *

Entering her house, she set her computer on the table and went to the kitchen to make a fresh pot of coffee. If she couldn’t get work done at the station, she would just do it here. Several times on the way home, Cooper tried to call her, but each time she ignored it.

Considering he knew Piper better than almost anyone, he should have known how she would react to his comment. More importantly, he should have known that for her, family always came first. That was why their relationship had ended right after high school. Cooper wanted to go off and become some small-town sheriff somewhere, but Piper wanted to stay here. They had both gone to the same Police Academy, graduated at the same time, and then parted ways. Cooper moved off and Piper got a job with the Houston Police Department.

She worked her ass off and made Detective within four years. About two years ago, the original Chief that Piper started working for retired and imagine her surprise when Cooper walked in to take his place. It was awkward between the two for a bit, but soon that passed and they developed a smooth working relationship. Until today,
