Chapter Sixteen

I freeze at the familiar voice, my eyes closing of their own volition. His gruff, deep timbre shouldn’t soothe me, but it does. It’s like a balm to my soul.

God, why did he follow me out here? Being with him is dangerous, especially when my defences are low.

“Why shouldn’t I be out here alone, Jem? Am I not safe?”

I’m not safe alone with him. He makes me feel things I shouldn’t, want things I can’t have. He’s the ultimate illicit desire. Having him is perfection, but keeping him is treacherous—because of who he is. His links to the Club make him dangerous. Look what happened to my brother. He was pulled into this world and he nearly died as a result. Look at Beth—she wore bruises around her neck for weeks because of her dealings with the Club. Jamie lost her father. Do I want to put myself in a situation where I could risk everything, lose everything because of who I share a bed with?

Logically, my brain says no, but then Jem steps out of the shadows of the loading bay to the side of the doors and into the lights and rational thought goes by the wayside.

He’s such an attractive man, and as always, I’m taken aback by his size. He’s around six-foot-three, but he seems so much larger. In the dark, illuminated by the spotlights hanging on the external walls of the clubhouse, he looks enormous as he steps towards me—a blond giant.

I want to move away, put distance between us, but I don’t want to wound him either. Such an obvious gesture clearly will send a message I don’t want to give him.

“You’re always safe with the Club, angel, and with me, but it doesn’t hurt to be cautious when we’re dealing with precious things.”

“If we’re playing it safe, should you be out here then?” I quip back. I can’t resist it, although I shouldn’t joke with him. I should get myself back inside and put a room full of people between us. I can’t seem to make my feet work, though.

He laughs and I want to hear him laugh more. It sounds amazing.

“I can handle myself, but thanks for that stunning emasculation.”

“I didn’t mean to emasculate you, although I imagine there’s very little that can anyway. You’re hardly unsure of yourself on that front.”

His eyes take me in, and I feel like he’s undressing me with that one look. I meet his heated gaze with one equally as scorching. I need him, I burn for him.

“You’d be surprised.”

He steps closer to me, and my mind blanks for a moment. I can smell his aftershave, the leather of his kutte, the booze on his breath and a scent that is uniquely Jem. I can feel the warmth radiating off him as he circles me before he closes in behind me, his hands spanning my hips. Air catches in my throat at the touch and I dip my head to my chest. I should move away from him.
