Chapter 20
Mia âDemonâs Lair Noir Valley
My heart triple beats as I stare at Alex, and my stomach twitches so badly, I can taste the bile at the back of my throat. His gaze searches me as though I have the answers. A part of me wants to run. Another part wants me to stay. To offer him comfort. Yet, all I can think about is that he asked me to move on to Demonâs Lair to bait Jono. Life was better for me in my fantasy world. Away from what is happening here.
âHow are you going to keep me safe? By keeping me locked in your cabin?â
Alex steps closer. His fingers brushing against the bare flesh of my arm and as warmth spreads through me, I step out of his reach. âThatâs not a bad idea,â he said.
âAlex.â
âDonât you fancy being locked away with me.â
âAlex. Is this a fucking a game to you?â
He shakes his head. âIâll think of something.â
He links his fingers with mine, and his thumb strokes the flesh on the back of my hand. âItâs life, Mia. I miscalculated.â Alex grunts. âFuck, I didnât realize he hates me as much as he does.â
âDo you think heâs in touch with this Delaney person.â
Alex nods as he releases my hand. âDelaney has a price on my head. Heâs dirty, Mia. Shit. I heard the rumors and thought I was safe here.â Alex strolls to the window. Then turns to me. His smile lopsided and my stomach twists. âI could run. We could run. Keep the club out of trouble.â
âBut you wouldnât have the safety of the club to help you fight if Delaney caught up with us.â
âNo.â
âThis is a fine mess youâve got us in.â
Alex raises an eyebrow. âThinking with your dick, does that to you.â
âI should hate you, Alex. For what youâve done. But I donât.â
Alex steps closer and I step back. âSo, Iâm forgiven then.â
âAre you crazy. Of course, youâre not forgiven. My life is in jeopardy because of this feud between you and Jono.â I run my hand through my hair. âShit, I was stupid enough to think you and I being together might make you friends with Jono again.â
âWeâre past friendship, Mia. Iâm never going to give up the River Demons and Jono will never be a River Demon again.â
My head aches. âDid you take it away from him?â
âNo. Jono did. When he didnât get what he wanted.â
I stare at Alex, searching for answers hidden from me. âDo you fancy me Alex?â
âWhat kind of question is that?â
I shrug. âAn honest one.â
âIf I didnât fancy you. I wouldnât have asked you to share my cabin or move to on Demonâs Lair.â
âNo. Not even if it meant enticing Jono to come out of the woodwork.â
âI want you, Mia. You do crazy things to me. Make me think of doing stupid shit which puts you in trouble.â
âYou can always go to Hank.â
Alexâs eyebrow rises, ânow whoâs the crazy one.â
I shrug, âI can always go back to Poppyâs.â
âAnd what will that accomplish? Apart from making me hornier than I am already.
