Chapter 15

ROSE

My brief moment with Ashton was exactly that. Not even as good as he made me feel could make me forget about what I had to do. Even with him by my side, the anxiety in my stomach hadn’t gone away.

I squeezed my arms tight around him, worrying the entire time as we sped through the streets. It wasn’t long before we came upon a small storage warehouse in the heart of Ivory.

Ashton quickly pulled his ride up to the side and we snuck inside of it as quickly as we could. He flipped a switch and the lights flickered on. The sprawling warehouse was completely empty.

“What is this?” I asked.

“The MC keeps this place for storage. Spare parts. Furniture for the clubhouse. All of the shit we can’t fit in the back of the bar.”

“It’s… empty now.”

“Some asshole blew it up awhile back. Lost everything. We let go of the man guarding it. Now it’s just… what you see.” He walked up to me and put his hands on my shoulders. “Nobody knows we’re here. Nobody will bother looking for us in a place like this. I’ve been tailed before. I made sure nobody was even close. It’s just us, Rose.”

Ashton was so ruggedly handsome it was easy to forget how strong he was. I hadn’t forgotten about what I had to do but I felt safer than I had ever since I got the visit from Picardo.

He took a step back from me and put his hands on his hips. “Now… You wanna tell me what the hell this is all about?”

I looked down at my phone. Joey didn’t respond to the message I’d sent but I knew he’d read it. I could only hope he’d make it to the address without drawing any attention to himself.

“I… I’m in something, Ashton. Something deep. Something I don’t think even you can help get me out of.”

“Why don’t you tell me what it is and I’ll be the judge of that?”

“Right…” I sighed softly. Despite everything happening, I still managed to work a smile onto my face. Ashton had that kind of effect on me. He’d been here this entire time and even this didn’t seem like it would be enough to scare him away.

“My brother… My brother got into something. He got into it with some real bad people. He’s in trouble. I know he is.”

“Your brother… You never talked much about him.”

“He’s my half-brother. Not that it matters one way or another. But he’s never around that much. Ever since I left for school, he’s popped in and out.”

“And when he popped in, he brought some trouble with him.”

“That’s putting it lightly.” My head dropped. I stared down at the ground, trying to figure out a way to soften the news. Ashton stayed calm. I could feel his eyes on me as he patiently waited for me to keep going. “It’s…”

A sudden knock on the steel door to the side cut me off. I gulped so hard it echoed inside of the empty, silent warehouse.
