I didn't know what the hell was going on, but something was.

Obviously, there was some sort of super secret soon-to-be-bikers project that all the men were in on. Including West. Yet none would tell me about. And I'd used naked persuasion on West. The man was a rock. And then, well, he used my nakedness against me, obliterating mind and body for hours afterward, preventing any further interrogation techniques.

"Gus, just go home, okay?" Huck half demanded, half asked, voice rougher than usual, frustrated. He was someone who rarely got frustrated, especially toward me, so I knew this was something serious.

"Why don't you have West drive you home?" McCoy suggested.

"Why would West drive her home?" Huck asked, brows furrowing, but he was only half paying attention.

"I was planning on hanging out here," I objected. "It's been a while."

It had been a while because for the past two weeks, West had been spending a lot of time at my place. But never overnight. I always woke up alone. And every morning, I tried to convince myself that I was okay with that arrangement. Each time, I was less and less convinced.

See, I was starting to understand something.

That this thing with West and me, it had a lot less to do with sex than I was trying to convince myself.

Sure, the sex was good. Fantastic. Epic.

But each day, it seemed like we did more and more that had little to do with sex.

We watched movies. We cooked. We ordered takeout. We did my damn laundry together. I showed him some of the local attractions.

Clearly, when what you did with someone outside of bed outweighed what you did with them in, it was more than sex.

I won't lie. It was a new, interesting concept. I should have been freaked out, given my track record of non-commitment. But all I seemed to be able to muster was a sense of, well, calm.

Calm was not something I found myself attracted to. I filled my life with wild and crazy because I had been sure that was what I found joy in.

Maybe that was even true.

But it was a shallow, short-lived sort of enjoyment, one that constantly left me chasing the next fix.

This sort of joy, this easy, unhurried, comfortable sort of happiness? This seemed more lasting, like something that could hold me over for days or weeks if need be.

What else was to be concluded, then, but that what West and I had going was something big, something important? Even if it would turn out to be temporary.

But no.

I didn't want to think about that.

Because there was no denying the aching sensation in my stomach when I let my mind contemplate that possible future.

Huck looked at me, then the ceiling, picturing me up there. Then, seemingly liking that image, nodded. "Yeah, actually, staying here would be good. No hitting the clubs with your girls tonight. You can hang here with West and Teddy when he shows up."

"Sounds good. What time will you guys be back?" I
