Rick ate his breakfast, inhaled a few more cups of coffee, and pondered what Ava had said earlier.

She’d surprised him, and women generally didn’t. That alone made her unique.

He’d felt bad for teasing her, because he could tell he’d hurt her feelings.

She was way more innocent than he’d originally thought, which only made this assignment more confusing.

What was a woman who had a total of four sex partners—and he figured he was probably included in those four—doing with a gang like the Hellraisers? It made no sense. She wasn’t worldly or streetwise. She was sheltered. She’d said so herself. After being all but monitored 24/7 by her parents, she’d gone off to college and . . . studied. She hadn’t partied her ass off and fucked one guy after another. She’d gone to college and gotten an education. And then a master’s degree after that.

She had no history of drugs or violence or hanging out with gangs.

So what the fuck was she doing here with this gang?

He supposed he could just ask her. But what if for some reason she was embedded in the Hellraisers for a reason? Hell, for all he knew she’d been paired up with him to test him, since he’d asked Bo to get back in the gang.

Her whole innocent act could be just that—an act. She could be lying to him about everything—including the four guys she’d fucked.

Which meant he was going to have to keep doing what he was doing. He’d have to stay close to her to figure out her angle, without revealing his own.

Dammit, he hated being in the dark.

“You’re quiet over there.”

He lifted his head to look over at her. God, she was beautiful. He really couldn’t get over her. Today she wore a burgundy turtleneck sweater that clung to those gorgeous breasts of hers, tight jeans that molded to her full hips and thighs and outlined her sweet ass just perfectly. He’d enjoyed walking behind her as they were led to the table. She’d left her hair loose, and it hung like a waterfall of raven silk over her breasts.

He could stare at her all day and not say a damn word. But that wasn’t what he was supposed to do, so instead, he grinned. “Sorry. I really was hungry.”

“I can see that. I was afraid you were going to lick your plate.”

He looked down at his empty plate, then over at her partially finished one. “I thought about grabbing that last piece of bacon.”

She picked it up and offered it to him. “Be my guest.”

He took it from her. “Thanks.”

She shook her head. “I don’t know where you put it all. There isn’t an ounce of fat on you. Do you work out or run or something?”

“I work out when I can.”

“I thought you rode a lot.”

“I do. But you can’t ride twenty-four hours a day. And wherever I go I make sure there’s a gym where I can go a few rounds in the ring.
