KENNEDY

“Kennedy, honestly,” Meyah tried again, her brow furrowed in worry. “I’ve got a couple of girls coming in who used to work for the club, they’re happy to do this, and earn a little extra cash, and you can just help me back behind the bar.”

I laughed and shook my head. “Meyah, it’s fine. I danced for well over a year full-time and still do… or well, did… occasionally when I was needed. It’s no big deal.”

“I can think of one person who will think it’s a big deal.”

The music I’d requested and knew so well started to play, and I turned toward the stage. I honestly didn’t mind this. Dancing had, at one point, been a way for me to pretend I was someone else for a second—someone more confident, someone stronger and more assertive.

I never expected to be a parent at eighteen years old, looking after a thirteen-year-old who had essentially just lost both of her parents in the space of a couple of months.

Even though getting on stage to start with almost killed me, it really did make me stronger.

“Oh crap,” I heard Meyah curse and looked back at her just in time to catch the cringe on her face as something connected with my body, and I was lifted up off the floor.

I screamed, my entire body going over his back, my eyes instantly catching the patches across his cut as he carried me through the pool of businessmen—every single one getting the hell out of the way of the angry biker stomping through.

“Repo, put me down,” I yelled, knowing he probably couldn’t hear me over the loud music, and even if he could, doubting he was about to put me down anywhere until he was ready. So instead of wasting my energy, I just huffed and held on as we made our way down the stairs and out past the bar to a familiar spot—Shake’s office.

The door slammed shut behind us with a hard kick from Repo’s boot, and my muscles tightened.

He was angry.

My stomach immediately twisted into a knot as he dipped his body and pulled me back up. I thought I was waiting for my heels to find the floor, but instead my ass hit a hard, extremely cold surface that I quickly realized was Shake’s large wooden desk. I grabbed the edge with both hands, trying to steady myself now that I was back up the right way.

“The hell are you doing?” he growled, pulling back a little, so he was standing tall. He crossed his arms over his chest and glared down at me like a naughty child.

“I was trying to help,” I told him, still feeling a little dizzy. “Meyah was short some dancers.”

“We have plenty of girls on call for that shit, you didn’t need to get up there and do it yourself. That’s not what the hell you’re here for, Kennedy. How many times do I have to tell you. You don’t fucking owe anything!”

“I wasn’t doing it because I thought I fucking owed anyone,” I yelled back at him.
