Chapter Twenty

Grayson

Fucking Noah. The minute I saw his Jeep come up the driveway, I knew the nice relaxing day I had planned for my girl was gone.

Noah and I grew up the closest out of the rest of my brothers. After Wes and Landon left for college, it was only me and Noah left, so we had no choice but to get close. And we see each other the most outside of family dinners and missions. So, I should have known he would notice that something was going on and now that he’s here, I’m sure he’s inside texting everyone about Logan.

I don’t have a problem with Logan meeting my family. They will love her and take her in as their own, especially my mom.

Noah makes friends with everyone, which makes him a kickass bar owner. He watches people interact at the bar all day and can pick up pretty quickly if they are a decent person or if he needs to keep an eye on them.

I knew the minute I saw that stupid ass smirk when he looked at Logan that I was going to be fighting my brother for Logan’s attention.

Logan is mine. She knows that and so does Noah, but that doesn’t mean he’s not going to compete to be her friend and favorite Hayes brother.

Logan is sitting on my lap staring out at the forest, lost in thought. I know she’s probably nervous, but I think it may have something to do with the fact that I just saw her back.

When she turned around and I saw the scars littered across her back, I had to do everything to stop myself from demanding she tell me who did it.

They aren’t small superficial scars. Some are smaller, but some are so deep that it looks like she was stabbed. I don’t want to push her but I’m growing impatient with the secrets. Every day I see how much her past has affected her life and I wish she would let me in so I could help her move forward.

She has been alone for so long that she only knows how to rely on herself. I just need to wait a little longer and show her that I’m not going anywhere, and that I will protect her.

I nuzzle into her neck. “Sorry about Noah. But I think you two will get along. If you feel uncomfortable, we can leave, just tell me.”

Relaxing back into me, she pulls my arms tighter around her waist. “It’s okay. I wasn’t prepared to meet your family, but he seems nice and funny. I wasn’t expecting the blonde hair though,” she says, trying to hide her laugh.

“Some of it is natural. My grandma’s hair was blonde.” Looking over my shoulder to make sure he’s still inside, I whisper, “He dyes it. He went through a boy band obsession in high school and never got out of it.”

Logan can’t contain her laughter anymore and it's like music to my ears. She may think she is all darkness but, in my eyes, she is a bright shining light.
