Chapter 10

Luke

“The sun is definitely dropping earlier,” Gage said. “Which sucks because then I have less daylight when I get home from work.” He leaned his arms up on the round pen, and we watched Angel lope a horse around. She was in her own world when she was riding a horse. Not too unlike Jericho and me on dirt bikes. Troubles and worries could fade into the landscape when we were racing bikes.

“Any word on the Raven’s Nest?” I asked.

“Nah. Probate and inheritance stuff like that can take months. Remember?”

“Yeah, that’s true.”

Angel smiled down from the horse as she trotted past.

“You can collect him up more than that,” Gage said. “His trot will smooth out.”

I smiled over at him. “Listen to you, Cowboy Gage.”

He shrugged. “One thing I found out about horses is, it’s better to take time to train them right, otherwise, you’re just fighting them all the time. And being twelve hundred pounds, they usually win.”

Angel’s long dark hair flowed behind her, and her long lashes shaded her cheeks as she focused on the horse.

“She is something else, Luke.”

“Shit, you don’t have to tell me. There’s hardly a second in my day when I’m not thinking about her.” I lowered my voice, although Angel was far more interested in the horse than in our conversation. “Sharpe knows we’re here.”

Very little shocked Gage, and even this piece of news he took with only the slightest shrug. “Let him come. Maybe that would be the easiest way to end this.”

“It’s never easy with him. For now, I think he’s busy keeping the pieces of his club together, but I have no doubt that he’ll come after Angel. He seems determined to take her back. Sometimes I think it’s just because he hates me so much.”

Angel turned the horse around and rode the opposite way. “This side feels different. Or am I imagining it?”

“You’re not imagining it. I have never figured out why he lopes so badly going this direction.”

“Sometimes, it would be nice if the horses could talk,” she said and continued on.

“What are you going to do now that he knows that Angel’s here?”

I glanced over at her to make sure she hadn’t heard him.

“You haven’t told her?” he asked.

“Not yet.”

Gage gave me one of those big brother looks, and I turned away from the pen.

“You don’t understand the situation, Gage.”

He figured out my reason for spinning around and followed. “She seems like a pretty level headed person. I just think she should know, so she can stay on guard like the rest of us.”

I glanced back. Angel continued her ride. “Her grandfather basically told me that she had to come back or more people would end up like Gunner.”

“Shit, that guy’s a real asshole.”

“He knows exactly how to get to Angel. And if she knew, she would head straight back to him just to make sure no one got hurt.” Horse hooves neared, and I put an abrupt end to the conversation. We both turned back to face the pen as Angel slowed the horse to a walk.
