Seeing her this morning first thing, dressing, fuck me if it wasn’t a sight for sore eyes. I knew Honor was beautiful, but seeing her the way I did after first waking, I realized she was more than beautiful. She’s got that beauty that reaches me, proving she’s pure light and sweet.
It gutted me to be an asshole to her and tell her it was a mistake that she needed to forget what happened. Honor did a damn good job of hiding the hurt, but I still saw it.
To make matters worse, after she left, I went to get back in bed and sure enough there was evidence right there in front of me of her innocence. I might as well hand Gunner the gun and put it to my head before giving him the go ahead to kill me now. Not only did I drunk fuck his sister, but I took her damn virginity.
Fucking hell.
I’m gonna have to talk to Gunner. Fucking his sister, I crossed the line, and I’ve got to make it right.
I swore years ago when I joined the club that I wouldn’t do anything to fuck up what I’ve gained. Not after everything I went through in the past. Hammer, Malice, and a few others know what I’ve been through, including Gunner, but the rest they’re in the dark on it, and I want to keep it that way.
Leaving my room, I head out and find out Gunner went home. It’s not surprising. It was going to get rowdy, and he did what he could to save Delilah from accidentally seeing anything she shouldn’t.
Inwardly cursing, I make my way out of the clubhouse to my bike. I can’t hold off on this. It’s not in me to keep something like this secret. I’m not that type of man. Out of respect for Gunner, I’m gonna head over and talk to him. Let him know that I fucked up and know it before apologizing.
The moment I pull into Gunner’s driveway, he steps out onto the porch, eyes narrowed, and I can see he’s pissed. I can all but feel his fury from the distance between us.
Yeah, he knows what I did last night.
I shut my bike off, put the stand down, and climb off the back. Here goes nothing.
Holding Gunner’s gaze, I make my way toward him, neither of us saying a word. Not until I’m on the porch and within swinging distance.
Gunner’s jaw twitches and he doesn’t waste a moment. He swings, slamming his fist into my jaw.
“What the fuck were you thinking?” Gunner snarls.
I rub my jaw and stare at my brother. “No excuse, Gunner. I wasn’t thinking, and I deserved that punch and more.”
“Damn right you fuckin’ do.” Gunner’s eyes flare, but he doesn’t punch me again like I expect him to. “You fucked my sister.”
“I fucked up, and I know it.” I nod and let out a breath. “I shouldn’t have touched her. I knew she was off-limits. Still, I didn’t think, and I did it. I took her to my bed and fucked up everything.”
Gunner stares at me for a long moment and lets out a breath. “You care for her, don’t you?”
I don’t answer him as I turn to the porch rail and lean down, bracing my arms on the top of it as I stare out at the yard. Do I care for Honor? I’ve thought she was beautiful and lusted for her, but I don’t know her. Not really. All I can say about her is she’s a hard worker who works at the hospital and that she’s Gunner’s little sister. I also know she’s got something she’s hiding. I can sense it.
Last night, I asked her about the pump I noticed, and she brushed it off as nothing. I didn’t think more of it because all I could think about was getting inside her.
Fuck.
“I don’t know if I do or not. All I know is I can’t get her out of my head,” I finally answer him.
Gunner comes to take the same position as me and sighs. “You know, growing up, we lost our folks and ended up in the system. All I’ve ever wanted was for my sister to be happy. For the longest time, she and I were all we had. The system separated us a lot, and we didn’t get to see each other, but she had Glacier. If it weren’t for the family she was staying with at the time, being into genealogy and all that shit, none of us would have found out we had more family. All of us wouldn’t have a bond. Well, she and I don’t have the strong bond we used to . . .”
“She lives here to be close to you,” I interrupt him to point out.
“Yeah, that’s ‘cause I talked her into staying close. Especially after I found out about Delilah,” he says and twists enough to face me. “More times than I can count, I’ve talked her into staying close. But I always knew there was more to keeping her here than just my asking her to stay when she was ready to move on.”
I follow suit and cross my arms. “I don’t have it in me to be with someone. You can be pissed at me for what I’m about to say, but I told her that it was a mistake and the two of us should forget it ever happened.”
Gunner grimaces, his jaw ticking. “I don’t want to be talking about my sister’s sex life, but I’ve got to ask. Did she agree with you on it? About forgetting about it?”
“Yeah.” I nod, remembering the way she agreed with me. There’s no way she’s going to forget what we did. Not when I took what I did from her.
Fuck me, I’m a bastard, but there’s nothing I can do about it.
“Then it’s between the two of you,” he mutters. “But I’m telling you now, if you want her and push her away, you’re losing out on the best thing that could be yours.”
