Chapter 16

Ramsey wasn’t kidding when he said we were going to christen every surface in every room of his house. I have no idea why he even had a piano in his lounge, but it is now my favorite piece of furniture.

“Good morning, sunshine.” He almost sings the words as he enters the bedroom, wearing just dark jeans and carrying a tray in his hands like a waiter or waitress would.

“Good morning.” I roll onto my back and stretch my arms above my head. “What d’ya have there?”

“Breakfast for my girl.” He winks. “We need to build your energy back up.”

“Oh, yeah?” I sit up and smile as he places the breakfast tray down on the side table and plants his hands on either side of my head. “Yes, there are a few places we missed.” He smirks, dropping his lips to mine and kissing me hard.

He pulls back abruptly, kisses my forehead, and hands me a mug of coffee.

I sit up, propping a pillow against the headboard and settling back on it before gladly taking the mug from him. “Mmm, smells good. Did you brew this fresh?”

“Just for you.” He smiles.

“You’re not really a rough, tough, biker, are you? You’re all soft on the inside.”

He raises his brows. “Is that right?”

“Uh huh.”

“Well, don’t tell everyone, will ya.”

“Your secret’s safe with me, Ramsey Dalton. I’ll take it to my grave.”

“Good.” He hops off the bed, grabs his own mug of coffee and stands at the window.

“So what will we do today?” I ask, admiring the view of his torso. I’ve never cared much for looking at men. I’ve looked, obviously, but I’ve never been drawn to a man’s body as much as I am to Ramsey. His shoulders are broad, and the ink on his body is nothing short of beautiful, intricate art.

“I had a call this morning…” he says ominously.

“Ooookay…”

He turns to face me, giving a slow blink and taking a breath. “Jimmy called from the mortuary. We can collect Mac today.” He studies my reaction carefully, but I don’t really know what to say or do. “I’ll send Tex up there if you want. There’s no pressure.”

“Okay,” I say quietly, giving him a sad smile.

“We can get him another day if you don’t want to face it today.”

“No. Today is fine. I’m just sad that Mac didn’t have anyone else.” I sit quietly for a few moments, my hands wrapped around my mug and just stare into the darkness of the coffee. Mac must have been incredibly lonely. It doesn’t matter how good you are at being alone, to not have anyone at all must have been so sad for him. Maybe that’s how I would have ended up if Ramsey hadn’t come to find me. Bitter, twisted, and with a thousand cats.

When I left the rental apartment, I was pulling away from Vaughn. Deep down, I knew I wouldn’t have gone back, and there was a part of me that wondered if he would even have bothered to come and look for me.
