Chapter 16

Taylor

I was washing my hands when the bathroom door swung open, slamming into the wall behind me. Jessica stood in the doorway staring at me with a disgusted look on her face. I knew she was one of the Fallen girls that stayed glued to Renegade whenever I came to visit Ace, and I really didn’t have anything to say to her. I quickly looked away and stared into the mirror, acting like I was fixing my hair. I did my best to ignore her vicious glare.

“You know it’ll never work,” Jessica said, contempt dripping from her words.

“What exactly are you talking about?”

“You and Renegade. It’ll never work. He’s never settled down with a woman, and he isn’t about to start now.”

“Okay. Whatever you say, Jessica,” I told her, never looking away from the mirror.

“Why don’t you just go on home to your fancy apartment and high class job? There’s nothing here for you. You’re just wasting your time.”

“Just give it a rest. If you were really all Renegade wanted, you wouldn’t be worried about me.”

“Don’t say I didn’t warn you. He’ll just end up hurting you, and I’ll be the one in his bed once you’re gone.”

I pushed my way past her and never looked back. I wasn’t going to waste my time trying to talk to some nutcase that didn’t know a thing about me. If Renegade really wanted her, he could have her. I just needed to know one way or the other.

When I made it back out to the bar, Goliath was waiting for me. He handed me a drink and put his arm around my shoulder. Bishop was standing behind him and gave us a questioning look.

“Hey, Taylor. How are ya feeling?” Bishop asked.

“Doing great. I’ve had a good week, and I should be ready to head home soon. I really enjoyed spending time with Tessa. I can see why you love her.”

“I’m planning a surprise birthday party for her Monday night at Hidden Creek. I hope you can make it.”

“I wouldn’t miss it. I won’t be heading home until Tuesday, so that works out great.”

“Good, I’ll see you there,” Bishop said before he turned to Goliath. He raised his eyebrow and said, “You know you’re playing with fire.”

“I’ve got this, Pres. Nothing to worry about,” Goliath said, reaching for my hand. He pulled me out to the dance floor. Doc and his wife Melinda were already dancing beside Bobby and Courtney. There was a slow song playing, and Courtney was resting her head on Bobby’s shoulder. He was whispering in her ear, and she was laughing at whatever he’d just said.

“Let’s get this party started,” Goliath said as he wrapped his arms around my waist. He pulled me closer to him, and I put my hands around his neck. He was such a good guy. I knew he had a tough role to play as Vice President of the Devil Chasers, but he had a sweet side to him. He’d make some girl very happy if he ever got the chance.
