SHADOW

“I’m actually really good with kids!” Dash defends as we walk back to the car, our clothes sopping wet.

I snort in disbelief. “You were good with Cruz this morning, but that does not make you good with all kids, Dash.”

“I have four younger siblings. Not to mention, I played Disney princesses with a mafioso’s young daughter not that long ago, I’ll have you know.”

I laugh, feeling lighter somehow, like maybe Dash will be fine around my son. “Okay, so if I let you hang out with Cruz some more, he can’t know about us … I don’t want him hurt in any way if this thing with us goes south.”

He stops, turning to face me, taking both my wet hands in his. “I respect that… but we’re not going south, Badass.”

Suddenly, his cell rings in his jeans, he pulls it out, takes a look at the name, and then places it back in his pocket.

I furrow my brow with a chuckle. “Not important?”

He shrugs. “Not someone I want to talk to.”

Smirking, I press the button to open the car doors. “Remind me not to get on your bad side, Dash the Ignorer.”

“Only those who deserve ignoring.”

“Oh, that’s juicy.”

Dash snorts. “Hardly, c’mon, let’s get you out of those wet clothes.”

“Yes, sir.” I slide into the driver’s side, Dash follows and just as I am about to start the car, his cell rings again.

As he pulls it out, I can’t help but peek over, Ivy’s name is on the screen. A pang of jealousy flows through me, but I shake it off. It’s probably club business.

He hesitates.

“You can answer if you need to, Dash.”

He turns to me. “She wants to ask me prospect shit. I should be there to help her through it, but in all honesty, she can ask West. He knows what he’s doing.”

“Are you avoiding her for you? Or me?” I ask curiously.

He closes his door sinking into his seat getting comfortable. “Can it be both?”

I turn to face him a little more. “If it’s for me at all, then don’t. I don’t want any club business changing because of me.”

“It’s changing because my feelings changed. No other reason.”

“Okay. As long as you’re not avoiding her to keep me happy?”

“Nope, but I do want to keep you happy.”

I hesitate. “Then I have a question for you.”

“Okay?”

“Seeing as I opened up to you, I think it’s only fair you do the same. I told you about my past, so tell me yours?”

He grimaces, slumping back in his seat like I’ve completely deflated the conversation. “I suppose that’s fair…” He pauses. “I have a big family, three sisters and a brother, all younger. Umm… my mother, she does the best she can raising the rest of them. I support her where I can. I joined the club for them.”

“For them? Why?”

He turns away from me, looking out the window. “My dad… we didn’t get along when I was younger. He was always looking for a fight with me. It was fucking bad, so I left.
