Cole was a thundercloud as he stormed back to their table. Rylee stilled. Whatever had happened when Mayor Gale pulled him aside, it hadn’t been good.

“You want to get out of here?” Cole asked, barely sitting on the edge of his seat. His fingers drummed against the table and he shot angry glances to anyone who dared look their way.

“I’m finished,” she said quietly and pushed her plate away.

A wince passed across his face and he pressed his hands flat. Agitation still clung to him like a second skin, but he was holding it back from her. “Sorry. It’s not you. Finish eating if you’re not done.”

She shook her head. “It’s fine, really.” She popped one last hushpuppy between her lips. It really was delicious, but she couldn’t taste anything at that moment. Cole was upset about something and it spilled over to her. “All done.”

He stood, shoving his chair back as he moved, and threw a handful of bills onto the table. “Let’s go,” he growled. “I don’t want to stay here a moment longer than necessary.”

Silently, she nodded. She expected him to take her back down the stairs and to his truck, but he led her through the restaurant and out the front door. She dug in her heels and pulled them to a stop on the edge of the sidewalk.

His agitation and the unknown location swirled a hint of fear in her. The night had gone so well right up to his aside with Mayor Gale. She wasn’t about to let worry get the best of her. “Where are we going?”

Cole glanced down at her and another dose of tension sloughed off him. He favored her with a smile that dared her to trust him. “You wanted to see all of us, didn’t you? See how clans work together?” She nodded, and he stepped off the sidewalk and into the street. “The Strathorns are hitting up the bar tonight and I could use a drink.”

Feeling unsure, but desperate to give a night out with Cole a shot, she hurried after him. He held the door open and a wave of country music washed over her. Laughter and curses filled the hum of conversation.

“Cole!” Someone shouted from the back and a chorus of cheers rose up from the group gathered by a pool table.

Cole ushered her toward them. “This is the entire clan, minus Gray.” He pointed to the new faces one by one. “Hudson, Sawyer, Nolan. You already met Leah and Callum.”

Three big men all rounded the pool table and tried to ply her with handshakes. The suddenness of it forced her a step back, and Cole immediately placed himself in front of her and set a hand on Nolan’s chest. His voice was thick with warning when he spoke. “Don’t get any closer. Any of you.”

Leah slipped past him and stuck out her hand. “Come perch on the side with me, Riles. These barbarians can do our bidding and fetch our drinks while we shout at them.
