I move to my bike, sliding my helmet over my head. “I don’t tolerate men like Joe thinking they’re better than me just because they have a cock. That’s not cool.”
Noah places the box into the front passenger seat and turns to face me. “No wonder Alpha sounded excited to see you again. Follow me back to the clubhouse. We will have our guys look over your bike. See what your issue is.”
“Thanks, Noah. I really appreciate this.”
He winks, then moves to the driver’s side, jumping into the van.
I start my ride and wait for him to pull out, then I back my bike out and open the throttle, following him into Sylmar at the base of Kagel Canyon.
When we approach the compound gates, a smile lights up my face when I see the tall metal gates, completely shielding the outside from seeing inside. The Defiance MC logo is painted in white against the dark fence, and in a semi-circle banner spanning the length of the gate are the words ‘Los Angeles Chapter - We Are Defiance.’
A lone guard sits at the gate, gun in hand, looking past Noah in the van to me. Noah sticks his head out of the van, saying something to the guy, and he nods in acknowledgment. However, I can’t hear what they’re saying over my engine. The guy pulls the gate open, Noah drives through, and the guy signals for me to follow.
He parks the van, and I spot a row of bikes, so I make my way over to them and park in a vacant spot at the end of the long line. Kicking out my stand, I jump off my ride, pull off my helmet, andplace it on the ledge behind the bikes.
Glancing back at the giant warehouse I assume is the clubhouse, I can’t help the smile that lights my face. This place is huge. It suits Alpha to a T. I stand back in awe as Noah strides over, box in hand, and he bumps into my side. “Might wanna pick your mouth up off the floor, there, Haven.”
I snort just before Alpha’s imposing body appears in the doorway of the clubhouse. His lips turn up ever so slightly as he looks me up and down with his muscular arms folded over his chest, sporting a five o’clock shadow which is a little longer today, like he hasn’t trimmed his beard since I saw him at Gears almost a month ago. His dark tattoos illuminate his skin like a painting while he starts the short walk toward me.
This man is so fucking good-looking.
It’s no wonder I let my guard down around him.
But Imustremember—he is my target.
I can’t get lost in those luminous green eyes, that cheeky smile, or how good he smells.
Holy fuck, does he smell good.
I can’t help but inhale the leather and woodsy cologne when he steps in beside me. “Are you stalking me?” he quips.
“You wish. Something’s wrong with my ride. She’s losing power, and I went into the auto parts shop thinking old Joe could help me out, but nope, he’s just an old fart with small-dick syndrome.”
Alpha lets out a chuckle, raising his brow. “Joe can be a handful. Why do you think we send the prospect to deal with him?”
“Because you’re a smart guy, Alpha.”
His eyes shift past me to look at my bike. “So how is it that you just happened to be at the same shopmyprospect goes to, and at the same time he goes there?”
Jerking my head back, I scowl. “What the fuck are youimplying?”
He grins. “I’m just saying, if you wanted to see me again, you coulda come by the clubhouse.”
“Fuck you. Noah said you guys could help with my bike losing power. If you’re going to gloat and think I came here just because we had amazing sex one time, then your head is too far up your own ass for me to give a shit.”
He lets out a deep laugh. “Okay, okay, calm your tits, sweetheart. I’ll get Maverick to look at your ride. You say you’re losing power?”
Nodding, he walks toward my bike, and I follow him. “Yeah, I will push her, and she just doesn’t get going like she used to. Or she will start, and then the power drains.”
Alpha squats beside the bike, his fingers instantly moving to the chain I purposely loosened. “Here’s your problem. Your chain is slack. It’ll be reducin’ the amount of power transferred from the engine to the rear wheel. Should be an easy fix. I’ll get Mav on it right away, he’s good with this shit.”
Alpha goes to stand, and I move closer, so as he rises, I am right up in his space. His eyes lock with mine, the corner of his lips turning up before he inhales deeply. “It’s damn good to see you again, Haven.”
I smirk, my eyes purposely wandering up and down him, so he knows I’m checking him out. “So youdoremember my name?”
He lets out a chuckle. “I remembereverythingabout you.”
Leaning close, I move my mouth to his ear and whisper, “I know. Because I’m a woman you willneverforget.”
