After he comes, I try to roll away, but he doesn’t let me. “Let me stay inside of you just a bit longer,” he rasps against the side of my throat.
I don’t tell him no; there’s no reason for that. I want him there just as badly as he wants to be there—maybe more so. For the second time in one evening, I fall asleep in an instant, except this time, I’m physically sated with the man I love buried inside of me.
Thankfully, I wake up before Agony and slip out of bed. I know it’s wrong, but after I grab my things, run to the bathroom, and change, I walk out of the bar unseen. At least, I think I’m unseen. Except someone does see me. Thunder watches me from her corner in the bar, her eagle eyes focused and anger swelling inside of her.
Slipping into the front seat of my car, I start the engine and turn around, driving down the driveway and off clubhouse property. On my way back to Phoenix, I watch my rearview mirror just as my phone rings.
Against my better judgment, I reach for the device and glance at the name. Grimacing, I let out a sigh as my thumb slides across the screen.
Logan.
“What do you want, and how did you get this number?” I demand.
“Give up the act. Everyone knows now, including your man.”
My heart slams against my chest. It beats wildly as I try to decipher what exactly he’s just said to me.
Everyone knows.
What the fuck do they know?
“Logan,” I whisper, “you need to be clearer.”
He lets out a chuckle.The asshole. We are not close. We never have been. Logan holds a lot of secrets, and it’s hard to be close to someone who does. Then I curse myself because I realize just how hypocritical that is of me. I’m the same way. I fell in love with a man, let him fall in love with me, but he doesn’t even know half of the shit that’s happened in my life.
“Your men know that I’m a fed. There wasn’t a choice in the matter. Now we just have to work together. However,” he murmurs, “I am worried about you. Agony was very angry. Adamant that he finds you. That I bring you to him when he found out.”
I can tell him the truth, that Douglas has possibly found me again, but I decide against it. Why would I tell him the truth of it all now? It’s better to keep it all to myself and figure my own shit out.
“You don’t know where I am,” I whisper. “This is why you called me. Did Agony give you my number?”
He hums before he speaks. “I don’t, and he did.”
“Then we’re done. I told you that I would do my life alone, that I would take care of myself, and that’s what I’m doing. I’m glad you felt compelled to speak of your occupation and tell the truth, but I am not as compelled,” I whisper.
Logan snorts. “Little sister, that man is in love with you. I think you need to tell him the truth. All of it.” There’s a little something too cajoling in his tone. A little too soft and sweet. I’m not sure I believe him.
Without another word, I end the call and decide that I can’t talk to my brother any longer. I don’t know if I can trust him, and that makes me feel really sad. My eyes water as I continue to drive back to Phoenix. I have to work tonight.
I can’t focus on Agony.
On the way, my center aches.
On the way, my heart not only cracks but breaks the farther I drive away from him.
I love him.
AGONY
Reaching for Reese, I groan at the cold sheets that meet my fingers. Was it all a dream? Sitting up, I force my eyes open and look around the room. I find her signature pale-pink panties on the floor and know it wasn’t a dream.
Throwing my legs over the side of the bed, I stand and make my way to the panties. Reaching down, I grab them, crumpling them in my palm before I open the small drawer of my nightstand and toss them inside.
I move through the room, grab a set of clothes, and dress quickly. I can still smell her on me, and I’m not sure I want to wash that off me yet. So, instead of taking a shower, I head downstairs to the bar.
I look around but don’t see Reese anywhere. She bailed in the middle of the night. I don’t even know how the fuck she got in here or where she came from. Moving toward the door, I push it open and scan the parking lot area.
There are no cars there that I don’t recognize. I’ve already assumed she’s switched cars. A throat clears behind me, and I spin around to see Thunder standing there. Her eyes are wide as she searches my gaze with her own before she speaks.
