Chapter Seventeen – Raven

Big Bob’s Skating Center seemed louder than usual. Having spent the last few days alone with Vaughn in my apartment then at his place, being in public left me feeling exposed. As much as I missed the quiet, I knew Vaughn and I needed time away from each other. Mostly because the lie about friends with benefits was falling apart.

Even Bailey noticed.

“So are you and Vaughn together now?” she asked, holding onto the side of the rink. “Will I get to be the maid of honor in your wedding?”

“Vaughn just needed a lot fucking because of his mom dying. We’re only friends. Besides, I’m never getting married.”

“If you do, you’ll pick Lark over me, won’t you?”

“Probably. She would never forgive me, if I didn’t. Trust me that you don’t want her holding a grudge. Tiny chicks are sneaky.”

Bailey pulled at her ponytail then grabbed the side again. “I’m going to fall on my stellar ass.”

Grinning, I took her hand and pulled her away from the side. “I’ll keep you safe.”

Bailey’s eyes widened, but she didn’t scream like I expected. Her hands gripped mine as I skated backwards while pulling her along.

“I only know how to skate on the gravel,” she said and I fought the urge to laugh. “I really hate falling down.”

“You’re fine. I’ve got you, see?”

Bailey chilled and let me guide us around the rink. “You really like Vaughn, don’t you?”

“Yes, but he and I aren’t going to be anything more than we are now. Last night, we were in bed and he said he would dump me if he wasn’t so lazy. I told him he couldn’t dump me because I had already dumped him. We just keep it light because otherwise we’re both fucked.”

“He hasn’t cheated on you. I asked around and a bunch of his regular hookup chicks say he hasn’t banged them since he first banged you.”

“Doesn’t change who we are and what we can manage.”

Bailey nodded as I skated faster and her hands tightened around mine. “The Devils are going to kill him soon. I wish we could kill the fuckers, but Cooper doesn’t want to start something that’ll spill over to the whole club.”

“Maybe someone else could kill them?”

“Maybe. They wouldn’t all need to die either. Just the top assheads. The ones calling the shots. When another club that was heavy into criminal shit lost their president, the whole thing went to hell. Like in-fighting and other clubs trying to steal their territory and clients. If someone could kill the Devils’ president, vice president, maybe a few others who could take over easy, they wouldn’t care about Vaughn. It wouldn’t be worth the trouble, you know?”

“Yeah,” I said, thinking about how a handful of deaths could mean Vaughn would be safe. Harlow too, but my heart beat for the blond bastard who was watching me skate around with Bailey.

Vaughn stood with Judd, Cooper, and Tucker. Arms crossed, the men wore frowns. Whatever they were discussing pissed them off and I was glad for the separation.
