Chapter Twenty-Two

Sebastian

Brooke’s arms around me felt right. Having them there as we rode through the streets was more soothing than any other ride I’d taken, and for a moment I considered changing direction and heading out of the city.

We could leave. Just keep going and never look back.

Reality crashed back in as horns blared and people screamed at each other from the safety of their cars. Even though it was late, it was a Friday night, and there were still plenty of others out and about. It was hard to think that it had been just eight days since Brooke pulled her little stunt at the bar and I took her home with me. Less than a week since my priorities changed.

We passed the shop, sitting dark since it was well past closing time. I needed to thank Carl again for stepping up and taking over for me while I’d been preoccupied. He didn’t usually work full time, but he’d moved into my position without complaint.

My street was just as quiet, the homes around me mostly owned by older couples like the ones I’d bought from. They’d all been wary of me when I first moved in, but over time they’d realized I wasn’t going to cause a disturbance. I hoped I could maintain that reputation through what was coming.

I debated what I should do about Arik. I knew what the outcome needed to be, but getting to that point was a different matter. Going to prison for murder didn’t match with what I wanted from the future.

Brooke relaxed and pulled away from my back as I cut the engine and walked my bike into the garage. My wolf complained about even that small distance between us, there was no way I’d be able to handle the kind of separation being behind bars would bring.

Reaching back, I steadied her as she stood and swung her leg over the bike before rising myself. She didn’t remove her hand from mine, and there was no way I was going to let her go if she didn’t want me to.

I opened the saddle bag and pulled out her blanket, passing it to her before reaching back to unstrap her bag from where it sat behind the pillion. Most of the guys called it a bitch seat, but I refused to use those terms for Brooke.

The sight of her when I turned around, standing in my garage, clutching a blanket to her chest with one hand as she clung to my fingers with the other, looking up at me with those luminous green eyes holding so much trust… It was a kick to the gut. If I hadn’t already realized I was in deep, there’d have been no denying it any longer. I’d do anything for her, including go to prison for killing the bastard who’d hurt her.

“What?”

Her eyebrows scrunched and I realized I must have been staring for too long. Shaking my head, I tugged her hand and moved toward the door. I’d come back and lock up once I had her settled.
