Chapter 21

Rivet

I try my best not to freak out when I open my eyes to Cannon’s sun-filled room. I knew what I was doing last night. I don’t have the haze of alcohol to blame this time around.

He asked by the truck if I was in or out, and it didn’t even take a half of a second to answer him.

What I didn’t plan on was falling asleep in his bed and sleeping so soundly that it took the sunlight and someone banging around downstairs to wake me up.

My muscles ache like I participated in a triathlon rather than some damn decent sex last night. I bite my lip to keep from groaning out loud as I climb off the bed and search for my discarded clothing. I try not to let shame settle in my blood when I bend over and realize I slept with my tank top and bra pulled down, tits on full display all damn night.

At least he didn’t force the issue about taking off my shirt. If he had, I would’ve been out of here so damn fast.

I hit the bathroom before leaving his room, not sure what’s going to happen once I try to leave. Shadow and Misty weren’t home last night, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t here now.

Out of sheer desperation, I look toward his bedroom window, as if scaling down the wall to avoid the walk of shame is an option.

“Jesus,” I grumble to myself. “Get your shit together and own up to what happened.”

With any luck, the trek back to the clubhouse will be easy and quiet. Hopefully, it’s early enough that Cannon is the only one lurking around, but with as much noise as he’s making, it won’t stay that way for long. It sounds like someone’s rearranging furniture down there, and it’s loud enough to wake the damn dead.

I leave my shoes off as I open the door and poke my head out, trying to assess the situation, but I already know I’m not going to get out of here without making contact with at least one person. The door leading back to the clubhouse is on the far side of the kitchen, and I can tell whoever is downstairs is in that very same room.

“Fuck,” I hiss under my breath and slowly walk down the stairs.

The perfect scent of coffee fills my nose, but as I arrow toward the door, I don’t give in to the temptation to look over my shoulder. Maybe whoever is there has their back to me, and I can slip right out without being noticed.

“Hey.”

“Fuck,” I mutter again, stopping in my tracks and turning around.

Cannon stands on the far side of the room, a full pot of coffee in one hand and a ceramic mug in the other.

“Sneaking out?” Mirth fires in his eyes, and I can tell with one look he wouldn’t be upset if I did. Somehow, that makes this all better.

There aren’t feelings involved—not unless you count the throb between my legs.
