“I’m good, thanks,” I told Gage, unable to hold a real smile very long and turning back to the window. Why, oh why had I let Gage talk me into coming here?

“What’s that supposed to mean, Ray-Ray?” Gage challenged her, and I closed my eyes, praying this would end.

She let out a soft, throaty laugh, and if I could turn any redder than I already was, then it was happening.

“Leave.” Huck’s command was harsh.

I swung my eyes back to him, only to see he was glaring at Ray-Ray.

“What? I thought you needed me … later,” she said, leaning into him so that her cleavage was on display.

“I don’t,” he snapped.

She frowned and glanced around at the other men, as if they were going to defend her but no one spoke up. Unablenotto watch this play out, I noticed as she stiffened, tossed her shoulders back, and ran her hand along Huck’s neck with her nails.

“Call me if you change your mind.”

He didn’t look at her or respond.

When she turned to walk away, I was pinned with her hateful glare, as if this were my fault. I dropped my eyes to the floor and waited until the door closed behind her. Letting out a breath of relief, I closed my eyes and relaxed.

“The jealous bitch is gone. Come eat,” Gage said.

I lifted my gaze to meet his, and he waved a hand toward the table. I shifted my focus to Huck, not wanting to be anywhere I wasn’t wanted, and he took another bite of the lasagna on his plate, but his eyes didn’t meet mine.

“It’s fucking delicious. Come on and eat with us,” Levi called out.

“Ray-Ray has no ass, Trinity. That was straight-up jealousy talking,” Gage said.

Their attempt at trying to make me feel better was the only reason I walked over to the table and pulled out a chair. Huck wasn’t talking, but with two against one, I figured sitting down was safe. Besides, I really liked my lasagna.

Gage slid a plate over to me. “Get you some.”

I glanced at Huck as he picked up a glass and took a drink. His eyes locked on me. I wanted to apologize for being here.

Why did I want his approval so much? He had done nothing but turn me on, then humiliate me since he’d saved me from death.

“Eat.” Huck’s one-worded command surprised me. I glanced at the lasagna, then back at him. “Get some fucking food.”

Gage slid the lasagna toward me, and I put some on my plate. Next time though, I wasn’t coming to the shop. I would stay locked up in that house before I did this again.

Gage placed a slice of garlic bread on top of my lasagna. “That’ll keep your ass juicy.”

“Gage.” The warning in Huck’s tone wasn’t lost on me.

I picked it up and took a bite. Gage nodded his approval, and for a moment, I relaxed enough to eat.

Trinity

Another week passed with my feeding the guys breakfast, them leaving for work during the day, and then them returning for dinner most nights. At least up until last night.

There had been a fight on pay-per-view, and the house had filled up. After making the appetizers Gage had requested, I escaped to the room I’d been given and locked myself in for the evening. However, on my escape, I noticed Ray-Ray sitting on Huck’s lap the way I had at last week’s party. Seeing her was enough to keep me hidden away.

I fell asleep around ten last night, and the party was still going downstairs. It had been loud and only gotten louder.

There was a knock, and then a note slid under my door this morning. After opening my eyes and squinting against the morning sun pouring through the blinds, I noticed it on the floor.
