Chapter Twenty-Two

This time, Mandy followed Dalton. They made their way out of the city and into the county towards the Heaven Hill clubhouse. As she gripped the steering wheel, the palms of her hands were slick. Worried about how her Dad would take this was an understatement. He’d spent the years since he’d come into their lives protecting them. It would kill him to know Heaven Hill would possibly have a target on its back.

She had meant what she said though; she would make sure her family stayed together, no matter how hard it would be. If there was anything her mom had taught her, it was that. Mandy knew many people would call her a doormat because she wanted Dalton in her life, but she also knew she had a huge capacity for forgiveness. She called on that now, because Dalton needed to be in their lives. She breathed a sigh of relief as they turned onto the gravel drive leading back to the clubhouse. It was a landmark she always watched for. When she pulled into the driveway and her tires crunched against the gravel, it meant safety to her. Immediately her heart slowed and her stomach calmed knowing this was the place they would be protected.

They parked, and he came around to the driver’s side of her car, opening it for her.

“You sure you wanna go in there?” He closed the door, crowding her against the metal of her car. Framing her in with his arms, he leaned in, inserting his knee between thighs, pinning her there. “I don’t want you to do something you don’t want to do. If you have second thoughts about this, tell me now. I appreciate the moral support, but you don’t have to be here when I ask for this loan.”

“No.” She shook her head, putting her hands on his stomach, gripping the T-shirt in her palms, pulling him towards her. Running her hands up his stomach and chest, she trailed them up to his neck and circled her arms around him, tightening so that they embraced. “I’m going to be with you for the long haul.”

“Kind of like my ride-or-die bitch?” he joked.

She laughed into his shoulder, feeling lighter than she had in a long time, even though they faced a pretty serious situation. “Exactly like your ride-or-die bitch.”

He pulled them apart, dropping a kiss on her cheek. “Let’s go.”

When they walked into the clubhouse, all talking stopped and everyone gaped, noticing the two of them holding hands. It seemed to be a shock for most. Her mom gave her a wink.

“Well, I guess it’s about time,” Drew said from where he sat on one of the couches, a bottle of beer in his hand. He’d set what looked like his lunch plate beside him.

“For what?” Mandy asked, cocking her head to the side. She didn’t like the tone her brother used. If she remembered correctly, he wasn’t working today, which would explain why he was drinking at noon.

“He pulled his head out of his ass.
