At his words, all the blood in my body seemed to turn to ice, as I froze with horror all the way down to my fingertips.
I had been fooling myself to think there was anything between Abraham and I besidessex.
He only saw me asa wet hole.
The shame and humiliation filled me. How had I romanticized what we had so badly?
Stupid. I had been so stupid.
What, did I think there had actually been something between us?
That he loved my cooking and my tea and my flower arranging? Why would a man like him want anything like that.
I couldn’t believe I had fallen for him. And it wasn’t like Abraham hadn’t told me he didn’t want a relationship. Yet I’d hoped anyways.
As far ashewas concerned, it didn’t matter if I was there or not.
Just a hole for his dick.
What an idiot. I’d even bragged about how much he respected me.
You didn’t respect someone you called an annoying bitch.
Fighting tears, I hurried back to the bedroom and threw my things into a duffel bag.
At the sight of the quilt, I wanted to scream.
What a stupid thing. What a stupid present. All that time spent designing a map of the Legends MC territory, stitching while he worked in the Shop, because I was proud. Proud that he was so powerful and respected. Because as his old lady that was pretty cool.
But I hadn’t been his old lady at all.
Grabbing my seam ripper, I ripped out every single stitch in the quilt, throwing the pieces all over the room.
“I hate you!” I cried, sort of wanting him to hear me and come and see that I was leaving.
But there was no noise. No Abraham to fill the door frame, making my heart pound with desire and excitement.
Well, fine then.
Why had I thought there were stupid hidden depths in a brute like him?
No longer fighting my tears, I went out the back entrance, walking right past the truck he’d given me to drive. Then I got in my old beater and drove away, the muffler rattling on the ground.
CHAPTER 14
Abraham
The lie felt strange on my teeth. Like drinking coffee with motor oil in it.
There was a deafening squeal as Fizz turned his hearing aid up all the way.
“What the hell did he just say?” Fizz squawked. “I know I didn’t just hear that.”
There was silence for a minute and I realized the rest of the Legends MC were glaring at me.
“I know you’re the boss,” Mac said, pushing away from the table. “But that’s bullshit.”
“It’s not bullshit,” I said. “Deal the cards.”
