I frowned up at him as we started walking until we were back on the trail. “I don’t want to talk about my parents. They’re great. I love them, they love me.”
“Then tell me about Dreeya since I have to meet her soon.”
“You’re really doing this?”
“I am. Give me what I want now and I’ll give you what you want later.”
“Ohh, I like that deal.”
“I bet your horny ass does, now talk.”
He kissed my cheek and I began delivering the goods on Dreeya. Not that it mattered because she was about as predictable as a toddler learning to walk. You had no clue if, how, or when, and when it came to me, there would be no grace. He would have to earn her trust, no matter how many random details he knew about her. But I had a feeling Balor would be just fine with my bestie.

After the ridewe headed back to the city with a promise of Balor showing me where he and his brother worked. As much as he wanted to know about me, I was equally intrigued about the man I felt an unorthodox attachment to.
We pulled up to a free-standing building off the highway. It was small, white, and not surrounded by anything. After we climbed off his bike and removed our helmets, Balor and I walked into the building, hand in hand, but I could tell he was uneasy. He kept glancing at a car parked near the door.
“You okay?”
“Yeah, I didn’t know anyone would be here. I guess Ty is working.”
“Oh, I get to meet the family,” I teased, leaning into his side. Balor lowered his head, pulling the glass door open for me to enter and amusement flickered in his brown orbs.
“You gonna play nice?”
“Nope.”
He chuckled, shaking his head as I passed him but we both stopped a few feet inside the door when we laid eyes on a man who I assumed was Tynan in a heated discussion with an older woman. After a few seconds I knew exactly who she was, their mother.
“I know you’re angry…”
“You don’t know shit. You left, remember…”
“I remember, Ty…”
“Don’t call me that shit. We ain’t cool. We ain’t nothing.”
“That’s not true, I’m your mother…”
Tynan advanced, getting so close she backed away. He took another step forward, leaning his face over hers. He had her by at least a foot. Balor moved so quickly I could barely track his movement.
“You aren’t my mother. You aren’t shit to me.” He grabbed his brother around the chest and pulled him back.
“Ty, go in the office.”
“Nah, fuck that. She needs to hear this.”
“Tynan, go in the gotdamn office,” Balor growled, shoving his brother hard.
“Yeah aight. Fuck her. I don’t need to hear shit she has to say anyway.”
A few seconds later he was moving and the door to what I assumed was the office slammed. Balor glanced at me but didn’t say anything. I wasn’t sure if he wanted me to stay or leave so I didn’t move until he walked up on his mother. I edged closer, not sure why, but feeling like he needed me to.
Even though he moved with a calmness that contrasted his brother's reaction, he radiated danger and anger.
“Why are you here?”
