“I told her you were gonna lose your shit. That the night at the party hadn’t changed your mind. But it’s time you fucking admit it to yourself and tell her that you love her. If she had known that, she wouldn’t have left.” Gage’s voice stopped me.
I gripped the handle on the Escalade. Was that what this was? I loved her? How the fuck would he know what love was?
I jerked open the door and turned to look at him before I got inside. “How do you know I’m in love? You don’t know what fucking love is. What you had wasn’t love. It was obsession and it had been toxic as fuck.”
But was he right? I would kill anyone who stood in my way of getting her back. The idea of her leaving me felt like my chest was being ripped open. The only time I felt fucking settled was when she was with me. Her smile fixed any shit that was wrong.
“Maybe it was toxic but if you feel anything like I did then I know how it fucking owns you. Makes you weak. Hurts like a bitch,” Gage said before stepping back inside and closing the door.
Fuck me. I’d fallen in love with Trinity.
Thirty-Four
Trinity
Maddy wouldn’t stay with me all day. I knew that, but I was thankful she was still here. I didn’t know these people, and right now, I didn’t want to be alone.
Had I made the wrong decision? Would Huck hate me for leaving? Was my heart going to always feel as if it had been destroyed?
I dropped my head into my hands and sighed. I missed him. If I had stayed even if he was done with me, at least I would still get to see him. But would I have been able to deal with that kind of agony … having him there, but not being able to touch him?
“If you want to come to my house, you can. Or Garrett’s house even,” Maddy said across from me.
I shook my head. Huck wouldn’t want that.
The door to the apartment we were in opened, and Liam, Maddy’s father, walked in with a frown on his face. Liam owned a strip club—or his motorcycle club did. They owned several, she’d said. Most in Miami. She had brought me to Devil’s, his club in Ocala, where Huck had been last night. Liam had an apartment above the club.
“We got company,” he said, looking at Maddy, then shifting his gaze to me. “And he’s real close to taking out some of my men. I told him to give me five minutes before he hurt someone.”
Maddy sighed, then reached over and took my hand. “I expected this. Even though I turned the tracker on your phone off, I figured he’d find you. They always do. You can’t run from the family.”
“Tracker?” I asked, confused.
Maddy nodded. “Yes. When I checked your phone, it had the same tracker on it that Blaise keeps on mine. Which means you’re important to Huck. Before you get mad, know that I’ve been in your shoes. And if it wasn’t for that tracker, I’d be dead.”
I swallowed nervously. “Huck is here?” I asked, then lifted my gaze to Liam.
“And raising fucking hell. What’s it gonna be? You don’t want him up here, we will do our best to stop him, but I can’t promise you we can,” he told me.
He was here and upset.
I stood up. “I didn’t know he’d look for me. I’m sorry. Yes, he can come up, or I can just go down. I don’t want to cause problems for you.”
Liam chuckled. “I’ll send him up. Fucker’s got the territorial gleam in his eye I’ve seen on Blaise, and I don’t want to stir that nest again.” He walked back out the door, closing it behind him.
I looked down at Maddy, who was grinning.
“Long story. I’ll share it with you sometime. Do you want me to stay? Or do you want to be alone?”
There were things I needed to say to him, and having someone else hear that would be difficult.
“Alone is better.”
She nodded, then stood up. “It’s terrifying to love a man like him, but I promise you, it’s worth it.”
She didn’t understand. Loving him was easy; it was losing him that was killing me.
“Thanks for all you’ve done to help me. I’ve enjoyed getting to know you.” I felt myself get choked up again.
