Chapter Eight
The club’s garage hadan open layout with an office set up on a raised platform in one end. It was there that the officers worked, the location of their workplace allowing them to oversee every member’s task. And it was there that Helios observed a couple who stood close together as they worked on a bike, so close that he wanted to fucking kill somebody.
“You know you were too hard on her, don’t you?” Kellion asked behind him.
Helios swiftly removed his attention from the two. It was no use, though. The image of Yuri and MJ working next to each other was indelibly etched in his mind, something likely to torture him with numerous sleepless nights. Every part of him wanted to snatch MJ away and hide her from all the men, especially Yuri. Gentle fucking Yuri who made Helios look like an asshole with every fucking word that came out of his mouth.
Helios’s fingers tightened unconsciously, and the pencil in his hand snapped into two.
It was a very revealing action, and one that had Kellion’s eyebrows shooting up.
“Not one word,” Helios warned as he threw the halved pencil away with a silent curse.
“Did something happen between the two of you?” Kellion insisted on asking in a quiet voice.
Somethingwas not the right word to describe last night.
The incredible feel of her body was not something. The sweetness of her kiss was not something. The beautiful curve of her breast, the moist warmth of her pussy, the lovely sound of her moans and gasps as he brought her to a climax...the sheer pulsating need of his cock for her pussy...that was not something.
That was everything, and it was a damn shame that MJ did not feel the same way. She couldn’t, not when her heart belonged to someone else.
“It doesn’t matter if something did or didn’t happen. She has hersecret crush.” He spat the words out. “I can make her come a hundred times, but I’m not the one who’s important to her.”
“You don’t know that for sure,” Kellion said impatiently. “This just isn’t fucking you, man. You’re not the kind to give up like a wimp.”
He used to think the same thing, too. But then MJ came into the picture, and Helios knew that some things weren’t worth risking. MJ’s rejection, if it ever came to that, would cripple him. And there would be no going back from there.
Helios grabbed another pencil and swung his chair around so he was back facing his desk. His sketchpad lay before him, a half-finished diagram for his bike’s upgrade drawn on the sheet. Ideas for upgrades usually came to him in an easy flow, but he found himself unable to concentrate at that moment.
“What kind of girl,” Helios muttered, “would bother applying to our club if she was so damn scared of bikes?”
“Someone who loves a guy so much she was willing to conquer her fears for him?”
Snap.
Helios threw his second pencil into the waste bin, hating the way Kellion’s words had turned his world upside down. He did not love MJ. He would not want to fall in love with MJ, but he would be lying to himself if he said that he did not want MJ to love him. He did. He wanted MJ to love only him, to want and need only him, to make him her entire world.
“Mr. President?”
Helios took a deep breath, making sure he had a tight lid on his emotions before looking up. It was one of the senior volunteers, Cherry, and the strawberry blonde was smiling flirtatiously at him as she said, “My girls and I are wondering, President. Who are you taking as your date to tomorrow’s party?”
The question had every girl looking at him.
Every girl except MJ, who was determinedly staring down at the seat of Yuri’s bike. She didn’t stop polishing its tank, her movements mechanical. She knew without a doubt Helios would not pick her. He hated her too much.
Yuri bent his head close and said quietly, “If your secret crush doesn’t pick you, don’t let it matter.” His voice was low enough for only MJ to hear. “He’s not the kind to succumb to his feelings so easily.”
It took her a moment to understand his words, and when she did, her head jerked up, her stunned gaze flying to meet his.He knew who her secret crush was?
Seeing Yuri and MJ gaze into each other’s eyes had Helios’ teeth clenching together, and he said in a viciously charming voice, “I haven’t made up my mind, but it definitely won’t be MJ. Scared little girls like her leave me cold.”
Helios heard Kellion suck in his breath behind him, and he knew that such a reaction only meant he had taken things too far. But all the girls were laughing now, and he knew there was no way he could make it better. Not unless he could find it in himself to admit he had only said it to hurt her.
Helios stiffened when MJ finally looked up. He had prepared himself for anger, hurt, and confusion. But instead MJ’s eyes were...twinkling, her lips curved in a good-natured smile as she said simply, “I guess I have a lot of growing up to do. You girls are so lucky.”
