Chapter Five

Son of a bitch. Whoever stole that shit and hung the crime on Patriot’s neck better be living on another goddamn continent. Because when he got ahold of him, the guy’d be dead and Patriot in prison.

The anger inside him leveled on a boiling point, and he gripped the handlebars of his bike harder, wishing he could squeeze the metal into the shape of his hands.

The party for Blade had been in full swing when he, Diesel and Hunter made a run to the Painted Pig to pick up a big order of Blade’s favorite hot wings from Fiona. They got no farther than the door when they were confronted by the deputy. After that, more talking in circles ensued, with the same questions being thrown at Patriot about the thefts.

When the guys caught wind, the celebration ground to a quick halt and shit went south from there. Everything from talk of a manhunt to find the real criminal to blaming it on the Mayhem, the biker gang they’d driven from Mersey months ago, sprang up.

In the end, he had to get the hell away. Except the open road couldn’t offer the peace he sought tonight.

He kept seeing Aarica’s eyes when she peeked out of the bar and saw him being questioned by the deputy. Goddammit, that made him see red more than actually being accused. Having her form a bad opinion of him… No. Just no.

Which was how he ended up at the Painted Pig. He hoped to hell Aarica was still here. If not, he planned to weasel her address out of Fiona. Either way, he would see the woman and set her straight about him.

But he had to keep his hands off her.

After parking near the place where the employees exited, he cut the engine and sat there, straddling his bike and waiting for her. A small older model car sat parked next to Fiona’s, and as far as he knew, nobody else worked tonight.

From through the thin wall of the bar, he heard some bangs and clanks as the pair closed down the kitchen. Soon the sounds stopped, and he listened to the thump of his heart.

What would he say to her?

I want you. More than I damn well should.

He gripped his handlebars again and stared unblinkingly at the open door. A moment later, a woman stepped out. Fiona spotted him, and he caught her look of surprise in the glow of the overhead parking lamp. He lifted a hand in acknowledgement.

When Aarica appeared behind her a second later, his stomach dipped. Hell, he couldn’t fool himself into believing his own bullshit. He wouldn’t keep his hands off her.

She locked her gaze on him where he waited for her in the darkness.

Fiona looked between them. “Everything okay?”

He gave a nod. Aarica pivoted to her, and the music of her soft voice reached him, twisting up his guts. “It’s fine, Fiona. Thanks. See you next shift.”

Fiona might be protective as hell of her employees, but she was also the old lady of a Dark Falcon, and she knew when to walk away and mind her own business.
