Chapter Fifteen

Brenna

Gunn tried to play it off, but I felt the tension running through him. He exchanged grim looks with the rest of his men as he helped me off his bike outside the Wolf Den. Friday night, and they were closed for business. I couldn’t remember the last time that was true.

A woman stood, arms folded, at the back entrance to the bar. She was tall and beautiful with a fierce gaze and long, thick brown hair that hung to her waist. She looked like some kind of Amazon warrior queen.

“Brenna,” Gunn said. “This is Scarlett, she’s Sly’s ... she’s, uh ... she’s Sly’s.”

Scarlett gave him a wry smile and put a comforting hand on my shoulder. “Don’t mind Gunn’s lack of manners,” she said. “Let’s get you inside. Mo’s got a room all set up for you upstairs.”

“Mo?” I asked, looking back at Gunn. He shot me a wink and gestured for me to just follow Scarlett. I was dubious, but he wasn’t giving me much in the way of choices.

“Think of Mo as a sort of self-appointed Den mother to these dogs,” Scarlett said. “Only her bite’s a hell of a lot worse than her bark. Don’t worry though, I’ve got a feeling she’s going to love you.”

Gunn disappeared down a long hallway. I knew Sly kept an office off the main bar. I’d seen him come out of it that first night when Christine and I walked ourselves into trouble. Though the place was closed to the public, the bar itself was pretty crowded. It seemed like every probie and hangaround had been let in. I saw quite a few of the biker chicks who’d been here the other night too.

“Come on,” Scarlett said. “V.I.Ps go upstairs.” She had a big smirk on her face. She’d said it loud enough to draw the attention of a couple of girls at the bar. It earned her some scowls but like Gunn had said, Scarlett was Sly’s girlfriend. Those girls didn’t look friendly, but they seemed to understand Scarlett shouldn’t be messed with.

We went up a winding staircase with rich, pine walls. Scarlett led me to the second room on the left. I was shocked to find a full studio apartment inside of it with a kitchenette and private bathroom. The room was dark though, on an interior wall with no windows. That made no sense to me from the exterior architecture, unless the place had been constructed with a false wall. A shiver ran through me as I realized that’s exactly what it was. These rooms had been designed so no one could easily see into them from the street.

“You okay?” Scarlett asked. I set my purse on the bed in the center of the room. The place was clean with white eyelet sheets and matching cherry wood furniture. The bathroom door stood open and I could see clean towels and toiletries laid out.

I tried to find a smile for her but my head spun a little. So much had changed in the last thirty-six hours.
