“I want to see who was really following Harley that night. I want to be sure it was Tim, or to see if he’s being set up.”
“Smart.”
“I didn’t get to where I am by just taking everyone’s word for it, but I should have just kept Harley’s tracking device to myself.”
“On the next one.” I nod because there’s definitely going to be at least one more, maybe five.
The rest of the day is spent talking to Harley about our plans. I haven’t bought the ring yet because I thought it would give it away that she was safe. Now, we’re in the bar while my Uncle Liam is working, and I have a drink while my pretty little harlot sits in the corner, looking divine. I’m itching for that bastard to show up again, but I don’t think we’ll get that lucky. My location has been shared, and that’s intentional. I want my men to know where I am now that I have Harley and I know she’s well protected. It’s a matter of finding the traitor amongst the mix. There could only be three possibilities when it comes to the tracking: Russell, Timothy, or John.
I send a group text to my men. Head back to Dallas. I’m good here. I’m with friends and family.
When I get confirmation that they’re heading out, I walk over to the bar and speak with my uncle. “We’ll talk later.”
“Sure.”
Chapter Twelve
Harley
I rub my eyes, waking up from a restless night of sleep. Hearing Dylan talk about his plans with some of the Steele Riders and someone else set my teeth on edge. He’s risking a lot to protect me, and I’m afraid something terrible could happen to him.
“Stop looking at me like that, Harley. Everything is going to be fine, my love. I promised you forever, and I mean it. There’s nothing I won’t do to keep you safe, and I’m not going to let something like this go unanswered.” He cups my face and kisses me hard, pulling away fast with a grunt.
“I love you, Dylan. Will you be calling me?”
“Yes, I will, and I’ll be back for you soon. Don’t give them any trouble, and don’t leave me for one of these handsome fuckers, especially that asshole Blade.” There’s a scowl on his face that is too cute to take seriously.
I giggle. “No worries there. I have no intention of leaving you for anyone, especially that clown. He only likes to annoy everyone and it’s funny, but I’m all yours.”
“That you are. Fuck, I don’t want to leave you, but I know you’ll be safe here.”
“Yes, I will. Your uncle and his friends are like giant guard dogs. Don’t tell them I said that.”
“I won’t, pretty girl. Give me a kiss and let me drop you off so I can have a talk with my uncle before I go.”
“Okay.” I fight back the tears so he can’t see my sadness and take his outstretched hand. He isn’t going to come back inside and see me again because it’s going to be too hard to leave, so I do my best to relax.
He speaks to Liam while Esperanza and I gather on Liam’s sofa and chat. “So have you been watching anything new on TV?”
“Not much lately. I’ve been watching reruns of House.”
“Great show. I absolutely love it.” The door opens again, and Liam appears all alone. I try not to let it affect me, but my heart’s aching.
“Ladies, who’s hungry?” Liam says. I have absolutely zero appetite.
“Actually, I’m a little bit tired,” I say, releasing a yawn.
“I’ll show you to your room,” he tells me, giving me a gentle smile.
“I’ll get started on some breakfast if you want, babe.”
“Sounds good.” He kisses her cheek before coming to show me where I’ll be staying.
“Thanks for everything. You’re an amazing person, and I’m glad that Dylan got to see a better part of his family.”
“Thank you, Harley.”
I yawn again. “Sorry. It’s been a rough week for me. I didn’t get much sleep last night. He thought I didn’t know what he was up to in the other room, but I’m not stupid. I hope he’s careful.”
