“Lil.” Was all that was typed back. Why the hell would Lil follow him from Ireland?
“Why are you here, Lil?” he asked.
“Because your friend, Sid, came looking for me,” she answered.
“Shit,” he growled. “He’s not my friend,” he quickly typed back.
“No shit,” she typed. “I gathered that when he threatened to kill me if I didn’t turn you over.”
“I’m sorry,” he typed back.
“Apologize to me in person. We need to meet,” she insisted. There was no way that he’d meet up with her. Sid had Dead Rabbits watching all over the globe. If he met with Lil, it would put them both in danger and he wouldn’t allow that.
“No,” he typed back. “I won’t meet with you. It’s just not safe, Lil,” he said.
“It’s not safe for either of us now, Cian. We need to come up with a plan and Cillian and some friends are willing to help us do that,” Lil typed.
“Your older brother?” he asked. Last he heard; Cillian was in prison.
“Yeah, he’s out now and has a family. I’m staying with them. Let us help you, Cian,” she said. He wanted to tell her that he would let them help but doing so would put them and their families in danger.
“It’s just not safe,” he insisted. “If we get too many people involved, none of them will be safe.”
“Fine,” she typed. “Meet with just me then. We’re both already in danger, so what can it hurt?”
It could hurt a lot. Hell, it would hurt his heart when she looked at him with judgment in her beautiful eyes. She would look at him like that too—especially when he told her about how he’d gotten himself tied up with the Dead Rabbits.
“Just give me a chance,” she begged. He was the one who should be begging her for a chance. He was a fool for thinking that he had gotten away unscathed by all of this. His past was quickly catching up to him in America. Cian just never imagined that it would be in the form of the sexy little hellfire who followed him across the globe.
“Fine,” he agreed. “I’ll meet with you, but then you will need to steer clear of me, Lil. I’m not any good to be around right now. It’ll only bring you more hardship if you stick around.”
“I doubt that,” she insisted. “But we can talk about all of that when we are face to face. I’m going to send you an address where I want you to meet me,” she said. “You good with that?”
“Sure,” he agreed. He just hoped that he didn’t have to travel too far because he was just about out of money and a road trip wasn’t something he could afford at the moment.
He studied the address and realized that it was just a few towns away from where he currently was. Lil had been so close all this time and he never knew it. “I can be there by nightfall,” he said.
“Good,” she said. “I’ll be waiting. Don’t disappoint me, Cian,” she ordered. She was always so bossy; he could almost hearthe tone in her voice—that one that told him that she meant business and wasn’t to be fecked with. He chuckled to himself at the thought of Lil tossing around orders, especially to her older brother who didn’t seem to take an order in his life, from anyone.
“See you soon,” he said. Cian turned off his cell phone and decided that he needed to get a shower and put on some clean clothing. He could at least do that since he was going to meet with the woman who had stolen his heart back at home and brought it to America with her now.
Cian pulled into the back of the parking lot, behind the bar that Lil had him meet her at. What the hell kind of game was she playing, having him meet her at a biker bar? Maybe he had misread the situation and Lil was truly there to only help him and here he was having dirty fantasies about the girl. Yeah—he’d need to figure out if she was with one of the bikers in the bar, or just liked dive biker bars a whole lot more than he anticipated.
He got out of his pick-up and made his way to the front door of the bar. The sign above it said, “Savage Hell” and he wondered just what kind of hell he was walking into. As soon as he walked into the bar, he spotted Lil and God, she still could take his breath away. She had her brother on one side of her and some guy who looked like a hulk, on the other.
“Cian,” she breathed, stepping in close so he’d hear her over the loud music. “Come with me,” she ordered, taking his hand into her own. Lil wasn’t giving him the option to tell her no. He let her pull him back down a dark hallway and into a small office at the back of the bar. Cillian and the hulk followed them andwhen Lil closed the door behind him, he worried that he had just walked into a trap.
“What’s this all about, Lil?” he asked.
“This is Savage,” she said, pointing to the hulk who had his arms crossed over his massive chest. He nodded at Cian, and he obliged by nodding back. It was a strange custom that Americans did when they didn’t want to shake hands. Almost as if he was being sized up and he was pretty sure that the hulk would find him lacking.
“He owns this place and is the president of the club that meets here. And you remember Cillian?” she asked.
“Good to see you, mate,” Cillian said, holding his hand out to him. Cian shook it and stood back, not knowing what the hell to do next.
“You got the introductions out of the way, Lil,” he said. “Now, how about you answer my question?”
“Right—what’s this all about? Well, we want to help you, Cian,” she simply stated. Helping him would end up getting them all killed and while he thought she was sweet for offering; she had no idea what the hell she was getting herself and her friends and family involved in.
