CHAPTER EIGHT

– HADLEY –

I glance at my phone and see it’s three in the morning. Vachs’ side of the bed is unslept in and I guess he’s still hard at work. The last text I received was close to midnight when he told me not to wait up. I did fall asleep but I keep waking up with worry in my gut.

Swinging my legs off the bed, I stroll into the bathroom and quickly handle my business. I grab a thick sweater from my bag and pull on some leggings and fluffy socks. I give Hank a signal to stay put and the little man puts his head back down on the bed.

The clubhouse seems deep in sleep with all of the rooms closed. When I step into the main room, I see Archer sitting on the couch with papers scattered all over the table in front of him. Ganza is in the chair across from him, a laptop on his lap but his head is thrown back, mouth a bit agape.

My eyes find Archer’s and he gives me a small smile before he signs, “Ganza is snoring way too loud and is keeping me up. Your old man is still working in church.”

I bring my fingertips to my chin to tell him thanks. I get another smile but his eyes are already sliding to the papers in front of him. Crossing the open space to get to church, I notice Vachs is sitting at the table, both hands placed on his bald head as his elbows support him on the table. He too has papers and photographs spread out in front of him.

He looks visibly tired but his determination shows in the way he’s still sitting here trying to solve the case he’s working on. Vachs surprised me earlier by sharing some of the details with me. In the past all they mentioned to me was “it’s club business.”

And that’s basically “shut up and do what we tell you.” Or so I thought growing up and when I moved out I indulged my parents whenever there was a lockdown. I’m not an idiot, I know what they do and how dangerous their job is.

Hell, Archer has asked me a few times to lipread for him and it sure as hell wasn’t sunshine and roses criminals were discussing. But it’s in this moment I realize the consequences even more.

What me and Vachs have is only the beginning and yet it feels so natural with our strong connection. His eyes collide with mine and even if his focus is on the case in the middle of the night, and I’m standing here, butting in…he still gives me a welcoming smile and reaches his arm out for me.

My heart squeezes and I fall a little bit more for this man who touched my very soul in many ways already. My hand slides in his and he pulls me onto his lap as he wraps his arms around me. His head goes into the crook of my neck and he breathes me in.
