Chapter 9

HAWK

“Sadie?” My voice came out a raw whisper. This was impossible. What the fuck was she doing here? The commotion of the room around us shrank to a dull roar.

She gulped, looking like I’d slapped her. “Hey.”

A stunned moment of silence shuddered between us. Confusion roiled in my gut. I’d spotted her across the room as I was looking for my manager. Something about the way she held herself snagged me. Hell, she was practically a homing beacon.

“What are you doing here?” My gaze wandered over her face. Was she part of the press and hadn’t told me? That seemed absurd. And then I noticed the front of her shirt. BRUTE. My gut twisted, the word refusing to integrate into my consciousness.

“I would really love to talk to you about this,” she whispered forcefully, her eyes darting to something over my shoulder. “But later. Afterwards.”

“You’re—?”

“We just need to talk somewhere that isn’t here,” she insisted. “There’s so much I have to tell you, and I should have told you sooner but I didn’t know how to say it and I—”

I stepped closer, my heart forming the cadence to the question thrumming through me. “Are you sleeping with Brute?”

Her eyes went wide. “No! Fuck no! That is so disgusting. I can’t even—no. He’s my brother.”

A breath I’d been holding slithered out of me, and I wasn’t sure if I was more relieved or confused. “Then what are you—”

“I told you, we have to talk later.” She sounded desperate. “Jesus, Hawk, I’m so sorry for this. It wasn’t my plan to keep this from you; I didn’t want you to find out this way, I—"

“Get your fucking hand off my sister.” The voice sliced through, angry and urgent. Brute. I dropped her wrist, and Brute turned to her, eyes blazing. “Why is he touching you?”

“We were talking.” She looked up at Brute, face flushed. “Can’t we talk?”

“Not to this guy,” Brute said. His tone pissed me off even more, and I took a step back, drawing a deep breath. Nothing made sense, and now I didn’t know if I wanted it to.

“It was a mistake,” I said, my voice edged with anger. I gave her a pointed look and turned on my heel, removing myself from the situation before things got ugly. I could feel Brute’s gaze sizzling on me as I walked away.

No way. No fucking way. I wove through the crowd, half expecting Brute to come after me and grab me, push me to the wall or some shit. After his little stunt on the live stream, I wouldn’t put it past him to start a show that got the cameras rolling again.

Questions flooded me, left me weak and wandering. I paced the hallway for a minute before deciding to leave. I just had to go. I called my manager, and he sent the car. A few minutes later, I pushed out the front door of the studio, a whoosh of energy greeting me as fans perked up, shouting and talking as I walked down the carpet.
