Chapter Nine

A few people had woken up when they finally made it back to the compound in the early afternoon. Piper was acutely aware of Wick’s gaze following her as she hurried back to her bedroom for a shower. She wanted to clean up and prepare lunch for those whose stomachs had settled enough for a sandwich.

She pushed aside thoughts of Kix and what she had agreed to as she hurried through a shower. Brushing out her hair, she left it wet and clean as she threw it up in a ponytail before rushing back to the kitchen. About a dozen Brothers waited at the bar and a tired-looking Doll gave a grateful smile as they both set about fixing the food.

After the men had been fed, Wick stood to the side with his arms folded over his chest. Piper’s heart sank when he nodded with his chin that he wanted her to follow, so she told Doll she’d be right back and marched after her step-brother into his office.

He closed the door behind her with a firm click.

“What the fuck is going on, Sissy?” he asked, not even waiting for her to sit down.

Piper folded her arms under her breasts and lifted her chin. “Is that any of your business?”

“When you leave this fucking compound, yes, it is! Do I need to remind you that it’s possible he’s still looking for you?”

Piper flinched and lost her defensive posture. Guilt slammed into her and she hunched her shoulders. “I’m sorry.”

Wick shook his head. “I don’t want you to be sorry, I want you to be smart. Did you tell Kix about your past?”

“You know I haven’t.”

He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. “Listen, I did as you asked. I didn’t go after the motherfucker who killed our family. But the deal was for you to stay safe, Piper. How the hell can that happen if you go gallivanting through the countryside when Kix doesn’t know the truth? I trust him to protect you but when he has no idea to be on the lookout for something, well, that’s not being fair to him.”

“You’re right,” she whispered. “It won’t happen again.”

He settled his hands on her shoulders and squeezed comfortingly. “I want you to be happy. You know I do. But I also don’t want you hurt.”

“Okay,” she said.

“Hey.” He lifted her chin with his finger. “Are you sure you want your happiness to be with Kix Rockwood? He’s only going to be here for a few days.”

“I know.” She backed away and his hands fell to his sides. “But truthfully, that’s all the happiness I deserve, Wick.”

“Now, don’t start that bullshit.”

“I have to go,” she said, and turned to open the office door.

“Piper!” he called out but she didn’t wait around to acknowledge him.

When she’d first arrived and he had granted her amnesty behind the club’s fortified walls, she’d done everything possible to make sure he wouldn’t find a reason to kick her out. Their relationship had been strained, mainly due to their not really knowing each other.
