Chapter 15

When we reached Alamo’s house, he pulled under a carport and cut off the engine. “Hold tight for a second, darlin’, and I’ll grab your door.”

The carport was only a few steps from the house, but I was glad I wouldn’t be stepping directly back out into the wet. I was still damp, but I wasn’t cold. Getting a cold shower once tonight had been more than enough.

A moment later Alamo came around to open my door. I wasn’t opposed to chivalry. I didn’t expect it as if it was my due, the way some women did, but I could appreciate a man treating me like I was precious. I turned to climb out of the truck and had to decide between keeping the jacket on my body or having my hands free.

Before I could decide what to do, Alamo put his hands on my waist and lifted me out of the truck. “Come on inside.”

“Let me get my things,” I started, but when I stepped forward, I realized I had the same problem. There really was no way to keep covered and do much else.

From the brief heated gaze as Alamo saw the expanse of skin that I inadvertently flashed as I stepped away from the truck, he wasn’t complaining yet.

Seeing the tightening of his jaw, his deep inhalation of breath, and his lingering glance made me happier than it should have. I wasn’t vain, but the way he always seemed to run from me made me a little crazy sometimes. I smiled and gathered up my purse and clothes, letting the jacket gap just a bit wider.

“I dropped your gun and keys in there.” Alamo nodded at my bag, eyeing it warily as if a woman’s purse was inherently dangerous—or maybe he was just looking for somewhere to stare after the way he’d just responded to see my bare skin. I was certainly hoping that was the case. I didn’t want to manipulate him, but what woman doesn’t like being appreciated?

Alamo motioned me toward his house. It was only a half-dozen steps between the carport and the small covered porch on the front of the house, but those steps were enough that I realized again how cold the rain was. I was grateful for the continued shelter the moment we were on the porch.

He unlocked the door and opened it for me to go in first. Being treated so politely was almost enough to make me forget that I was wearing next to nothing. He was unusual. I’d seen him laughing and carrying on with the rest of the younger Wolves, but he was always exceedingly polite to women. Even when he was walking away from me over and over, he wasn’t hurtful or rude. Tonight, though, he appeared to be letting me into his home.

He locked the door behind us, and I heard the telltale beeps of an alarm being set. “I’ll write down the code for you. Most of the club has it, so it’s nothing.
