“Impossible.” Taking a strand of her hair, I slide it between my fingers, and she sighs before she starts.

“A few years ago I acted up. I was fed up of being the president's daughter, and I hated that I had no freedom…So I rebelled.”

“Nowthatsounds more like you.” Mia doesn’t return my smile, instead, she drops her eyes from mine like she's ashamed.

“I started hanging around in Greenwood, I got to know some of the bikers from the Fallen Saints and I started to date one.”

“Your father and brother must have been pretty angry about that.”

“They didn’t know. And when I found out that the only reason that boy was interested in me was because he wanted to hurt the club, it wasn’t either of them I called.”

“Skinner?” This kinda makes sense if she feels like she owes him something. But it still ain’t right.

“No. Ryan.” I don’t know who he is, but the way she says his name with such fondness makes me jealous of him.

“He was my brother and Levi’s best friend, and deep down I always sensed he had a thing for me. It felt like a hopeless cause because the club has rules. He would never have been able to have me.” I take in what she’s saying despite being confused. Declan doesn't seem to have a problem with Skinner sniffing around his little sister.

“Ryan always came through for me. And when I got into trouble I called him to come and get me out of it.” There's tears in her eyes now, and when I wipe one of her cheeks with my thumb she shakes her head at me.

“He died, and it was all my fault.” When she breaks I wrap my arms around her and tuck her head under my chin, and as her tears trickle onto my bare chest I hold her as tight as I can without hurting her.

“Levi blamed himself and left town, it broke Beth's heart. I had to watch my brother fall apart too. My choice that night fucked a lot of people’s lives up, and Ryan would still be here if it wasn’t for me.

“That’s not true.” I shake my head.

“You ain’t gonna say anything to make me feel differently.” Mia quickly wipes away her own tears and puts her front back on.

“I don't know what it is that's going on with Declan right now, but I can tell he’s got enough to worry about. I won’t be the reason he gets distracted. He wants me to date Skinner, so I’ll do as he asks. At least, for now.” The smile she gives me tells me she doesn’t want to feel sad any more.

“You realize, if he knew you were here he’d kill me?” I smile at her playfully.

“Then I better make sure I really am worth the risk.” Mia’s head drops to disappear under the covers and when she takes me in her mouth, she proves that she most definitely is…

“Ineed to talk to you.” Skinner comes storming into my office, slamming the door and looking pissed as hell.

“What?” I’m having a shit-enough day without having to deal with his bullshit.

“You know exactly what. I’ve been moving in on your sister for over a month now and I haven’t even got to first fucking base!” He’s so wound up, I swear if he had hair he’d be tearing it out of his scalp.

“That sounds more like a ‘you’ problem than a ‘me’ problem. And are base stages even a thing, anymore?” I laugh when I think about how hard Mia’s making him work. Good, the fucker deserves it.

“The fact I know all about your old man makes it ayouproblem!” He slams his fist on my desk, quickly reminding me of the mess I’m in.

“Whatcha want me to do, Skinner, force her to fall in love with you?”

“She don’t have to love me to get on her knees and take my cock.”

I stand up from my chair and he shows he’s got some fucking balls when he shoves me back down.

“Sit down, Prez, you ain’t gonna do jackshit because these walls around you could crumble down with just one slip of my tongue.”

I snarl at him because he’s right. What he knows would undoubtedly cost me everything.

“It’s him, the new guy. He’s got to go.” Skinner takes a seat.

“Who, Jekyll?” I laugh. “What’s he done?”

“Jamie,” he corrects me. “You gotta be a member to have a road name, and clearly you ain’t seeing the way she looks at him like he’s fucking god or some shit. She wants him. He wants her, and for that reason, he’s got to go.”
