“No offense, but thank fuck,” I muttered, and Rory elbowed me lightly. “What? I’d hate to traumatize him. I really want to get you naked and check out your new tattoos.”

“She probably spent the weekend getting fisted, or whatever girls do to each other,” Jensen joked, and Rory flipped him off.

“Lexi did not fist me.”

“Is she joining the group?” Lukas asked casually, but I knew it was something that was bothering him. The thought of group activities with another girl in the bed was stressing him out. Not only was he uncomfortable about the thought of Lexi being naked in bed with us, he was panicking about messing around with Jensen in front of her.

“No, Lexi didn’t get an invitation to the Rory Donovan Fan Club,” she scoffed, sitting up to stretch. “She’ll be out next month and back with Hendricks.”

Lukas looked like he was ready to collapse with relief, and Diesel got to his feet.

“I’m going to go for a cigarette. I’ll be back soon,” he stated, Rory’s eyes following him as he vanished into the hallway.

Jensen dragged Lukas towards the vacated spot on the bed, Rory letting out a light laugh as she was pulled back down for a group snuggle.

“I missed this. You guys made me a touchy feely person,” she said with fake annoyance.

“I really want to know about the shit that went down with that girl in the bathroom. Was it you and Lexi?” I asked, getting comfortable as she started telling us everything while showing us her tattoos.

Diesel returned and sat on the edge of the bed looking uncomfortable as he listened, but Rory seemed to be enjoying her little walk down memory lane.

Had she actually liked it in there?

“Did you tell them about the tracker?” Diesel asked dryly, all of us glancing between them with confusion.

“What tracker?” Lukas bit out, glaring at Rory. “Someone was tracking you?”

“When I first met Marco, it was because he broke in here. He drugged me,” she admitted.

“An enemy of the Psychos broke in and drugged you and you didn’t call them?” Jensen asked like she was insane, making her sigh.

“I didn’t know it was the Devils. He didn’t have his jacket on. I woke up and figured he hadn’t assaulted or poisoned me, so what was the point? He showed up at the Shed with Hunter and I recognized him then, but I wasn’t going to bring it up. I thought that was the end of it.”

“Told you they had shitty intentions,” Jensen grunted at me, and I huffed.

“At the start, maybe, but they’re cool now.”

“Not cool,” Rory scoffed. “I’m going to kill them. It’s why Marco gave me his bike to get home.”

“Aw, man. I can’t play with him anymore?” I pouted, earning an amused glance.

“You can do what you want, but both of them are on my shit list.”

“No, you can’t,” Jensen said sharply. “Why would you even want to? He drugged your fucking girlfriend, dude.”

“That was before we were buddies. Water under the bridge,” I shrugged, all three of the guys giving me a dirty look. “What? People change. Rory forgave us for our bullshit, so why can’t we forgive Mark for a little drugging?”

“Is he serious?” Diesel asked under his breath, and Lukas sighed.

“Unfortunately.”

“Is Caden coming home?” Rory asked randomly, making me wince.

“Uh, no. It’s probably a good thing too. He’s been such a fucking asshole.”

Her shoulders deflated slightly, and I wanted to punch him in the face for it. She hadn’t done a damn thing wrong, and he should have believed her.

“He’ll come around. Just settle back in and fight with him later,” Lukas sighed, kissing her cheek.
