“Kip told me what they were up to shortly after you got out of that meeting, when he brought me lunch and came to check on Knoxville.”

“He’s the worst one. Normally, he would have clued me in, but since it was Scout, there’s no way.”

She hummed her response, as if talking about Scout was not her favorite subject. We need to get that out of the way though, in case any of those assholes saw her kiss me earlier.

“I need to tell you about Scout today, in case someone saw something and got the wrong idea.” Nova bristled, but I carried on as if she never reacted. “When I came out of church and told her they voted in favor of her becoming a member, she jumped up and kissed me. She meant to get my cheek but got my mouth instead with all the jostling and movement.”

“Okay,” Nova looked away for a minute before she finished whatever her thought was. “Considering you helped her achieve a dream and stay with the club without having to be a club girl, I can understand her reaction. You were the one person who trusted her and knew she could do it.”

“Are you serious right now?”

“I like Scout,” Nova admitted, surprising me. “She’s always been nice to me and with the exception of last night, she’s never done anything that made me want to poke her eyes out with a sharp object.”

“That’s kind of you,” I teased. Nova shrugged in response.

“I’m not mad at her, though it doesn’t really excuse you for the way you behaved toward me or with her after you left me. No matter what the two of you had to go do, or that it was club business, your hands and mouth should have never been on her like that when you didn’t even bother to kiss me goodbye or hold me after my first-time having sex.”

“I know,” I tried to butt in, but my girl wasn’t having it.

“I don’t think you do. You slapped my ass, got dressed, and walked out like I was one of your whores. Do you know I sat here debating whether or not I was supposed to go back to Kip’s room or if you had gone to satisfy yourself with someone else instead, since it was so awful. You didn’t even give me a chance to talk to you about the fact that you didn’t use any protection.”

Fuck, if she wanted to shame me, she was doing a damn good job of it. Not that I didn’t deserve that shit, but I’d been hearing it from literally everyone in the club all day long, too.

“I know, sweetness. I apologize for that. It took me until this morning to put it together that maybe you weren’t on birth control. If you get pregnant, I’ll be right by your side and so will the whole fucking club.”

“That’s not even the whole point, although, I’d like to finish school and start a career of my own before I ever think of having children with anyone.”

“With me.” She rolled her eyes at my correction and hid her beautiful face behind the curtain of her long, blonde hair. “Stop hiding, you heard me just fine. One day, you’re going to have children with me. If it happens now, we’ll deal with it, and I’ll make sure you still get to live your dreams. If not, then we’ll be careful until after you’re ready.”

“That’s fine, but what about diseases? I know for a fact you were with at least two women only a week ago.”

“Always wear a condom. The only time I have never done that was last night. Swear to whatever you want me to swear on that it’s the truth.”

“Condoms aren’t one hundred percent, Breakneck. When was the last time you were tested?”

I had to think about it because I honestly didn’t know. “If you have to think on it, it was probably too long ago. You need to do that, so that I know you didn’t give me anything. I can’t afford the added doctor bill right now.”

“How about I get our club’s doc in here to test us both, to be sure, and you won’t have to worry about a bill.” She shrugged. “Promise, he’s a real doc, and he’s discreet.”

“Fine.”

“Fine,” I mimicked her. “Now, will you let me take care of you like I should have done last night?”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“You’re still wearing the same clothes from last night. I’ll go get your bags and bring them in here, and then we can take a shower together, so I can help you clean up.”

“Okay,” she whispered as her cheeks bloomed hot with a blush that trailed down her neck and into the collar of her t-shirt.

Chapter 30

Nova

Breakneck left to get my bags from Kip’s room, so I went to the bathroom and got the shower started. It gave me time to look around in there, since I’d never used his personal bathroom before. He had the manly, Old Spice shampoo, conditioner, and soap three-in-one bottle in there, but what surprised me was the apricot scrub and cucumber mint scented shampoo and conditioner. Then, when I looked at the other shelf that held products there were two more bottles of shampoo, one strawberry scented and the other was a sugared vanilla.

I crinkled my nose at those bottles. If it had just been the one set, I might have thought Breakneck tried to be considerate and get me something nice to use while I was here, but that wasn’t the case. It wasn’t even believable that he had purchased a variety for me to try, not knowing what I normally used, since each bottle was at different levels, showing obvious use.

I decided not to say anything about it because he probably never thought to clean them out after he promised to be exclusive with me. I also wanted to see how long it would take him to figure out that he should. Maybe that was a petty test, but it felt important to do anyway.
