Aero’s eyes connected with mine. “You can run, babe, but I’ll find you. You showed me too much of yourself for me to just walk away now. I don’t know what all happens in your books, but you’ve got the biker’s attention.” He leaned forward and licked his lips. “Now, what are you going to do about it?”

Chapter Six
Aero
I wasn’t fucking around.
This wasn’t a game.
And it sure as hell wasn’t a book.
“I, uh, think I am going to head to my room and call it a night,” Sloane whispered.
I wasn’t going to force her to do anything she didn’t want, but I also sure as hell wasn’t going to let her run away from me.
My plans were going to change tomorrow, and I didn’t give a fuck if Yarder didn’t like them.
Sloane looked over her shoulder at Dove. Their eyes connected, and Dove instantly set her drink down.
“Did you just do some bat signal to your girl?” I chuckled.
Sloane turned back to me, and her eyes held worry and panic.
I was scaring her.
Not at all what I wanted to do.
“Hey!” Dove called. “I’m ready to call it a night. You ready, Sloane?” she asked. She laid her hand on Sloane’s shoulder and stared at me.
“Um, yeah, I think I am ready to go to bed.” Sloane grabbed her wallet off the table and stood. “Uh, thank you for the food, Aero.”
I sat back in my chair and nodded. “Anytime, babe.” I pulled a hundred-dollar bill out of my pocket and tossed it on the table. “I’ll walk you two to your room.”
“No, no,” Dove insisted. “We can handle ourselves.”
I wasn’t going to take no for an answer. I got that they were both independent women, but that didn’t mean that something bad couldn’t happen to them from here to their room. “I’m heading to my room, anyway.”
“Oh, uh, sure.” Sloane pasted a smile on his face. “Might as well share the ride, right?”
I motioned for the girls to walk ahead of me and called to Dice that I was heading to my room. He tipped his chin to me and bellied up to the bar.
“Uh, I saw you talking to Kristine Allen,” Sloane muttered to Dove. “Was she as nice as she seems?”
“Nicer,” Dove sighed. “And her hubby is so devoted to her that it almost made me want to get married someday.”
“I don’t think I have ever heard you say that before,” Sloane laughed.
We made it to the bank of elevators, and Dove pressed the button for the seventh floor. “Not all of us are hopelessly romantic, Sloane.” Dove glanced at me and frowned. “Which makes you the perfect woman and not someone to be played with.”
I wasn’t playing with her. Not even close.
We stepped into the elevators, and Dove stood between Sloane and me. She was a good friend, and I couldn’t be mad at her for standing between us, even though she had no idea what was going on.
I might have come in too strong, but I knew that was what I would have to do. I knew if I wasn’t in Sloane’s vision and telling her straight up I was into her, she was going to run away.
She could run right now, but I wasn’t going away.
