Knowing that everyone was watching, Tallis kissed Jeremy on the lips before burying her head against his chest. "Thank you. You don't know how much that meant to me. I love you." And she did. Tallis Black had loved Jeremy Tillman since she was 15. Eight years she had loved him, and she was sure she would love him for eight more. She followed behind him like a puppy, equally concerned that Solo was screening their calls. The club came first, always and forever. "I'll go see what the deal is, but don't start the meeting without me!" She kissed him one last time before stealing the keys to his truck.

Tallis didn't bother knocking on Kaci's door, but barged right in. "I hope I'm not interrupting something."

"Tallis!" Kaci grabbed a pillow to cover herself and another to cover Solo. "What the hell are you doing?!"

"You don't need to cover him, I've seen it all before." She was grinning from ear to ear, making her way deeper into the room. Solo was going to get an ear full. "I guess Solo didn't tell you, Kaci, but old lady's don't get to speak when members are talking about club business. It isn't their place. And Solo if you pulled your dick out of Kaci long enough to answer your fucking phone, you would know that we have a club meeting. You're probably wondering why, and I'll tell you, the clubhouse was fucking attacking. Our garage literally blew up and you would know that if you actually answered your goddamn phone." Tallis was seething now. "I understand how you feel about Kaci, I do, but she will never be first while you're a club member. Even if she's your wife, she'll never be first. That's the fucking sacrifice you make when you get jumped in, fucking deal with it. And kiss any chances of mending your relationship with Jeremy goodbye, because he won't forgive you for this. I fucking wouldn't." She left it at that, grabbing his cut as she walked out of Kaci's room. He didn't deserve to be called a Red Devil right now.

Kaci stared at the door in horror, still covering herself with the pillow. She hadn't taken away much from the conversation, but she did understand two things: Tallis and Solo had fucked before and Solo was in deep shit with the club. "You should go." Her voice was shaking.

-20 Minutes Later-

Tillman's new old lady tossed him Solomon's cut, sinking into the Vice President's seat. "He can have it back when he realizes that the club comes first."
