Chapter 7

Kane recognized Ranz the second he stepped onto the main floor.

While the man’s posture seemed casual enough as he leaned against the bar and watched Kane’s employees get ready for the bar opening, Kane could see the predator in the man’s eyes as he scanned everything.

“Ranz, you wanted to see me?”

The man straightened, pushing away from the bar. “Fallon needs your help.”

“Of course,” Kane answered without hesitation, “whatever he needs.”

Ranz cocked an eyebrow. “Just like that?”

“I believe I am an official member of his”—Kane glanced quickly around the bar, noting the interest his conversation was getting from his employees—“gang,” he finished. “I can do no other than offer my assistance if he asks for it.”

Ranz’s head snapped back and a look of utter disbelief unhinged the man’s jaw. “Seriously, dude?”

“As long as it does not harm Samuel, I can think of nothing I wouldn’t do for the man. Fallon has proven to be someone I respect and admire. He understands my relationship with Samuel and accepts it. He also has assured me that he will do everything in his power to give Samuel and me a safe place to be together. That holds a lot of weight for me.”

“Huh.” Ranz scratched the top of his head. “I wasn’t real sure about you when Fallon talked to us about you joining our…uh…gang, you being hu—not being a biker and all. But, maybe I was wrong.”

Kane smiled. This whole human and vampire thing would take a little while to get used to, and it seemed not only he had to do that.

“What does Fallon need?”

“Is there somewhere that we can talk privately?”

“My office is just down the hallway.” Kane pointed the way and then started in that direction, grabbing on to Samuel’s hand to take the man with him.

“Uh, dude, Samuel can’t come.”

“Excuse me?” Kane growled as he turned to pin his eyes on Ranz.

“It’s nothing personal, Kane. I swear. Samuel just hasn’t been accepted into the gang yet, and what I have to say is for gang members’ ears only.”

“Then we have a problem because I don’t go anywhere without Samuel.”

“Kane, really,” Samuel said as he tugged on his hand, trying to pull it away from Kane’s. Kane just tightened his grip. “It’s okay.

This is how things are done. I’m not a member of Fallon’s gang. Until I am accepted, there are certain things that can’t be shared with me. I understand and it’s okay.”

“No.” Kane wasn’t budging. He crossed his arms over his chest and just stared at Ranz until the man sighed deeply, his shoulders slumping.

“Fine, he can come.” Ranz shook his fingers at Samuel. “But if a word of what I have to say leaks out, I’ll know who to come looking for. And believe me when I tell you that you won’t like it if I have to come looking for you.”

Kane’s left eyebrow lifted a fraction at the threat he could hear in Ranz’s voice. That would never do, not where Samuel was concerned.
