Everyone cheered as the patches were thrown at him, and I expected to see a smile on Gunner’s face...

But there wasn’t one.

He didn’t look enthused at all by what was happening. His eyes flickered over to mine, holding my gaze for a moment. My heart jumped, instantly thinking of Hannah. Was she okay?

“Party time!” Axle shouted, before hollering loudly and bursting through the meeting room doors, the ladies all cheering. All of the guys followed him, one by one congratulating Gunner on the way out of the room.

“You gonna drink or just fuck tonight?” Tip shot me a smirk as he patted my good shoulder. “You really should let loose a little.”

“No shit. Think I’ll do both.” I forced a light tone, and Tip burst into laughter, before punching Gunner in the arm and heading out to the party...

Leaving just the two of us.

“You don’t look stoked for that patch like you should, man. Is Hannah up to something?”

“Why do you always assume she’s up to something?” The way he asked the question answered mine.

“What the fuck is she doing?”

“She’s just out there waiting for you.”

“I believe that, but what happened?”

“Dude,” Gunner let out a heavy sigh, plopping down into one of the chairs, his patch in his hands. “She just wears me out.”

He’s holding out on me.

I walked around the meeting table to the door, peering out of it. Everyone was already lost in the party, music booming through the clubhouse. Butterflies erupted at the sight of Hannah sitting at the bar, talking to Sarah. She had on a fuckingtightblack dress, with slits up the sides, and her back was almost fully exposed. My cock jumped to life at the thought of pulling it up around her waist...

But first, I had shit to work out.

I slammed the doors shut, spinning around to face Gunner, who was busy trying to sew his patches on his vest. “What thefuckhappened today, Gunner? And you better not lie to me, because if I find out you’re not being truthful, I will take those from you.”

“Go ahead,” he tossed the vest onto the table. “I really don’t give a fuck at this moment.”

“And why is that?” I demanded, coming around the table and leaning over him. “What happened today, Gunner?”

He tilted his head back, looking me straight in the face. “Hannah met with Louise today in the park, and the only purpose of the meeting was to warn her, telling her to leave town.”

“Why? What would that even matter to Louise? That doesn’t sound like anything that she’d be worried about.”

“Yeah, because it’s not her—it’sMarley Anders.”

Oh fuck no.

“Why would Marley care if Hannah is here? Charlie and Vinny are tight.”

“Oh, I don’t know,maybeit has to do with the fact that you fucked Marley off, and now you’re toting around some cute little blonde.”

My face contorted in disgust, thinking of my ex-girlfriend—if she could even be called that. “I never even slept with her.”

“No, she just pined after you foryears.”

“That’s really irrelevant.”

“Yeah, and Marley’s dad just so happens to be our new business partner. I seesomany issues here.”

“It’s water under the bridge.”
