Lucas has been distant.

Even with my arms wrapped around his torso on the bike, he feels so far away. I feel Slider’s muscles tense under my embrace as we drive toward Presley’s new office for my weekly appointment. His attention is focused on the road ahead, but his mind is clearly somewhere else.

I can’t help but wonder what’s wrong. The uncertainty nags at me. I try not to let it show and keep my grip tight around him. Maybe it’s his new role in the club keeping him quiet. Darcy had warned me that being with a biker came with secrets. Things they would never tell us, but this seems more than that—something bigger than only club secrets.

Presley’s new office appears on the corner ahead of us. The newly remodeled Spanish Colonial Revival building stands out against the more modern offices flanking it. Lucas finds an open spot at the front of the building and backs in. He dismounts first before helping me off his bike.

“What time do you think you’ll be done?” he asks flatly.

“Probably around four.”

“Okay.” His answer is curt, and I can see the tension in his jawline. “Text me if it’ll be longer. I’ll be back to get you.” He kisses my temple. “Tell her I said hi.”

I stand there, watching him as he walks back to his bike and leaves, turning the corner and disappearing from view.

For a moment, I’m alone, confused, battling with hurt. I hate this feeling of uncertainty and not knowing what’s going on. But then I remember why I’m here—my weekly appointment with Presley. I take a deep breath and walk toward the office building, pushing Lucas’ strange behavior to the back of my mind for now.

Presley is waiting for me in her new reception area, which looks more like an art gallery than a therapist’s office. Large, colorful paintings hang on the walls, and a vase of fresh flowers sits on the coffee table. It is the exact opposite of her old office back in Kentucky.

I can’t help but smile at the sight of it all. Presley has always been different in every way in her mannerisms, how she dresses, her choice of work, and her perspective on life—the exact opposite of her brother, Raze. Where he is hard and unwavering, she’s soft and comforting. That’s why I feel so comfortable talking to her about everything that’s happened to me. She understands me, even in my most vulnerable moments.

“Hey! Come in,” she greets and hugs me tightly. “You look good.”

“Thanks,” I say, feeling grateful for the compliment. Her swollen belly is more prominent than it had been last week. Her hands fall to it, gifting me a beaming smile.

“Where did that come from?”

“Out of nowhere. I woke up and bam, baby belly.”

“Well, you look good.”

“Tell that to my aching back. I’m only five months pregnant. I don’t think I was this big with Han.”

The mention of her toddler’s name sends a ripple of amusement across my face. How V had convinced her to name their son after one of his favorite fandom characters, I will never know.
