He pauses and his eyes meet mine, there is an emptiness there, like an emotion has been glossed over and he’s trying to shove it down.
“It’s fine.It’s club business.Just wasn’t expectin’ it, that’s all.”
“Are we in danger?”I whisper, glancing around to see if Ebony is close.
“No,” he answers, his voice firm.“Nobody is in danger.I said it was fine, Jaybird, and it is.Just let me go deal with it, yeah?”
Everything inside me is on high alert, screaming that he is hiding something.I don’t know why I feel this way, considering the club is always dealing with something.I think it’s his expression, the haunted look in his eyes.That is something I’ve never seen on him before, and it’s scaring the hell out of me.
Muff is always calm, collected and has a playful demeanor.
Even when things are bad, he can bring a level of lightness to any situation.
Seeing him looking like this is making the pit in my stomach grow.
Something is very,verywrong.
I need to find out what it is.

“DON’T LIKE THAT LOOKon your face, Muff,” Spike mutters, staring at me as I pace back and forth past the pool table, fists clenched, heart racing.
I just got delivered news that I never would have,in a million years, thought I’d hear.It’s news that has completely turned my life upside down, and I don’t know how to fucking deal with it.I don’t know because it’s a part of me I’ve never told a single fuckin’ soul, a part of me I thought would never surface because I thought it was dead and buried a long time ago.
I was wrong.
So fucking wrong.
Not a single thing about it was dead and buried, and now I’ve been given something that I wished, a million times over, I could have had years ago.
My life is different now, and the past hasn’t come back to haunt me since the day I met Janine, and now here I am, about to flip my world on its axis, and I don’t know how the fuck I’m going to do that without losing everything I love.I can’t tell Spike, or Cade, or Jackson, or fuckin’ anyone because if they know, they’ll make me tell her, and if I tell her ...I’ll lose her.
Fuck.
“Muff,” Spike growls, catching my attention.“You goin’ to tell me what’s goin’ on or do I have to guess?”
