Sadie spun on her heel, ready to give Katie a piece of her mind when someone else intervened.
“Don’t you bitches have better things to do?” Cassie’s voice cut through the air like a knife.
Katie shot her a glare, but that was as far as she dared to go. Cassie wasn’t just Rage’s old lady, she was also Breaker’s daughter. She carried considerable clout within the club. As the only friend Sadie had made within the club, Cassie had also taken it upon herself to watch over the new addition to their ranks.
Cassie approached Sadie and placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder. There was concern on Cassie’s features as she looked at Sadie.
“Don’t let those bitches get to you,” Cassie told her.
“Usually, I just ignore them,” Sadie replied with a forced smile.
“They’re just bitter because you’re special to Priest,” Cassie pointed out, her tone matter-of-fact.
Cassie sounded certain about that fact, but Sadie had her doubts.
“It doesn’t feel that way,” Sadie admitted. “I don’t mean to sound ungrateful,” she hurriedly added, realizing how spoiled she sounded.
Suddenly, a wave of dizziness washed over her. The room spun, and Sadie instinctively reached for the table to steady herself. Concern deepened in Cassie’s eyes.
“Hey, sit down,” Cassie urged, quickly pulling out a chair and joining Sadie at the table.
Sadie settled into the chair, and they lapsed into silence until the dizziness subsided.
“You shouldn’t be working. You should be in bed, resting. You just recovered from your injuries, after all,” Cassie chided gently.
“I’m sick of being confined in bed, and I’m completely recovered. I just want to be a little useful to Priest. I can’t be a freeloader forever,” Sadie confessed.
Cassie reached over and gently touched Sadie’s hand. “Priest doesn’t see it that way. Besides, ever since you’ve arrived, he’s been different,” Cassie pointed out.
“Different how?” Sadie asked, genuinely curious.
“Happier. He’s usually so gloomy, especially after a difficult job,” Cassie explained.
Sadie bit her lower lip, processing Cassie’s words.
“Regarding what I said earlier, I feel indebted to Priest, but there are times when it just feels…” Sadie trailed off, gathering her thoughts. “That he’s moving too slow. I’m starting to wonder if he’s lost interest.”
Cassie’s laugh caught her off guard. Sadie frowned, wondering if Cassie knew something she didn’t.
“Sorry, didn’t mean to laugh, it’s just you got it all wrong,” Cassie said.
“Then explain it to me,” Sadie insisted.
“I think Priest’s making slow and careful moves because he doesn’t want to pressure you. Five years have passed since he saw you, right?” Cassie asked.
Sadie nodded. “He’s worried about making a mistake … I think,” Cassie said.
“I understand now,” Sadie said. Maybe she was the one who needed to make the first move?
“Hey, Sadie, if things don’t work out with Priest, I’m available,” said Shadow, who was drinking at a nearby table.
Sadie didn’t miss the dirty look Katie and her gang threw her. She was about to tell Shadow she was only interested in one man, but an almost animalistic growl made her forget her next words.
Priest stomped up to Shadow. Judging by his windswept hair and the smell of gasoline still clinging to him, it looked like he just came back from a job.
Sadie did remember the feel of his lips on her cheek earlier that morning. Without warning, Priest punched Shadow in the face.
“Mine, back off,” Priest said, baring his teeth at his MC brother.
