Chapter 23

Lawson

The alarm blaring at my back has nothing on the sirens ringing in my head. The warmth of the New Mexico night only serves to irritate my already over-heated skin.

Fighting the insistent demands to go back to her, to apologize and find some way to make us work with me all the way across the country causes a stutter in my steps. I fight the urge, knowing that walking away right now is best for both of us.

The shop, the mechanics of machines with their structured uses, pulls me away from the house. I need the consistency, the perfect way they fit together, and if done right, work in sync with each other. Motorcycles and cars make sense. Loving a girl I could never ask to sacrifice a damn thing for my unworthy ass is a complication I can’t focus on right now.

Laughter meets my ears, but my feet keep on moving. Being under the scrutiny of the Cerberus MC guys is the last thing I want, but the draw to get my hands dirty, to work on something I can fix is stronger.

Scooter, Rocker, and Kid all sit around a small table, beers and cards in their hands as they joke about their stupid perfect lives.

“Hey, Lawson,” Rocker says angling his beer at me in salute.

A nod is all I’m able to manage as Kid looks at me, reading me like a book.

“Guys.” The rough voice at my back causes the same tension in my muscles as it did the first time I showed up on the clubhouse steps.

They look behind me and move to leave the garage without one word of rebuttal. Kid slaps my shoulder, but I stand my ground, not shying away from the sympathy in his eyes.

I know how they see me. I’m just some fucked up kid with a chip on my shoulder, getting pissed off over the simplest things. I don’t acknowledge the fact that my heart is being torn in two to the point that breathing is difficult.

“Sorry about the alarm,” I mutter as I pull out some tools and sit on the ground beside an old project bike Shadow and I have been working on.

“No big deal,” Jaxon says as he pulls up a chair and sits down beside me. “Want to tell me why you stormed out of the house?”

I treated your perfect daughter like shit while she had my cock in her mouth.

I resist the urge to draw my hand to my nose before losing her delicate scent to oil and dirt on the bike.

“Drew contacted his family.”

He remains silent, and I’d give anything to be in his head right now. Does he know what’s coming? Is he glad we’ll be out of his hair tomorrow?

As much as I want to hate him, I let hope flicker that he’ll be upset to watch me leave.

“They’re coming tomorrow to get him.”

He clears his throat.

“I’m going with him.”

He shuffles his feet.

“How do you feel about that?”

I sigh feeling as if
