But he isfartoo young.

And any infatuation he has is unconventional and uncalled for.

There is no possible way we could act on this attraction.

What would my children think?

What would the club think abouthim?

It’s not something that couldeverhappen.

And it’s wrong on too many levels.

No.

This can’t happen.

No matter how he makes me feel.

No matter the emotions running through my body.

Actually, my emotions are heightened because of the situation I find myself in right now.

South is here helping me through this mess.

Therefore, South is who I am clinging to.

Yes, that is what this is, nothing more.

He’s my savior.

And I have a savior complex.

Itwillpass.

Ithasto.

“We better get back to the club. And we should probably think of a cover story to tell my family while we’re at it,” I state.

South shows no outward emotion and merely gestures for me to jump into the car, so I do. He leans down, his head popping in the opening to talk to me. “You can tell them it was routine.”

“What about coming back for the biopsy tomorrow?”

He scrubs at his beard. “You have an appointment you forgot about until they rang today.”

I scowl. “I have to run all my appointments with Hurricane. I’m usually good at telling him so he can prepare my tail ahead of time.”

“Tell him they shifted a future appointment to tomorrow because the doctor’s heading out of town, and they wanted to know if you could come earlier.”

Letting out a half laugh, I shake my head. “You’re good at this. Just need to figure out what appointment.”

“I would suggest something that will make him so uncomfortable, he won’t ask too many questions,” South states.

“Pap smear it is.” I chuckle.

South grins as I start the car, and he closes the door. “That’ll do it! It’s best if you ask him to make sure I’m your tail. Then he should be good with me coming with you.”

I glance out the window as he walks to his bike. “Thank you… I appreciate all of this.”
