“Does he get Luna to pay his debts to you?” I snap, and the mood changes.
He sniggers. “I’ve been there, done that, several times. Lu knows I have no issues with her. He pays my debt by working for free.”
“How much is the debt?” I ask.
“Five grand.”
“I’ll have it cleared by morning.”
I can feel my own Pres staring at me in confusion as Reaper laughs. “You’re paying his debt? You know he owes all over the damn city, you’ll be bankrupt.”
“Whatever happens to him once the debt is paid is none of your business, right?”
He gives a slight nod, and Axel slaps him on the back and says, “I’ll be in touch.”
We get outside, and Axel grabs my arm to stop me walking ahead. “I don’t get it,” he says, looking concerned.
“I don’t like the guy,” I spit. “He’s a prick.”
“If you like Luna, just say it.”
“I don’t,” I snap. “Not like that. This is all your fault,” I add, arching a brow. “You forced me to get involved, and now, I can’t walk away.”
“Because you like her,” he says clearly, like he’s trying to convince me.
“No, because I see my mum in her.”
Axel’s arm drops to his side, and now, his expression has changed to one of pity. I turn my back and head for my bike. “I don’t need you analysing,” I throw over my shoulder as I get on my bike.
It’s late when we get back to the clubhouse, but I can’t deny the buzz I get when I see Luna is still up. The fact Fletch is talking to her bothers me more than it should, so I head straight for the bar and grab a whiskey.
“So, you pay her debts,” Axel begins as he takes the stool beside me.
“Not her debts,” I bite back.
“So, you pay her family’s debts. You move her in next to your room. You treat her kid like it’s your own. Where’s this ending, brother?” I remain silent because I have no idea. “Cos let me tell yah, if this is all cos you wanna rescue a damsel, fine. But if you’re trying to ignore your feelings for her, that shit’s gonna eat you away inside.”
“I’ve got it under control.”
“Really? You don’t look like you do. You’re sitting here all pissed cos she’s talking to Fletch.”
“I don’t give a shit who she talks to,” I snap.
“That little baby haul you got her cost a pretty penny, and now, you’re just gonna give five grand away so you can end her brother? You heard what Reaper said, he’s got debts all over the place. More people will come looking, then what? Are you gonna pay them all? Fight them all?”
“While she’s here, she’s safe.”
“And what if she decides to leave?”
“She won’t.”
He scoffs. “You haven’t thought this through. You’re playing happy families with her for now, so she’s happy sticking around, but if you’re not interested in her like that, what’s gonna happen when you bring someone back? What if you and that Danii work out?”
“Luna knows her place in this club,” I tell him. “I asked the guys to lay off her while she looks after her newborn baby, not for any other reason.”
“So, when she’s ready, she can go back to fucking the brothers?”
I stand, annoyed he’s quizzing me. I don’t want to think about Luna with anyone else, but I don’t tell him that. “Of course,” I say firmly, making sure to look him in the eye. “She’s a good fuck. And tomorrow, when you meet Danii at the opening, you’ll see why Luna isn’t on my radar like that.”
