Chapter 13

Imagine that. Played from both directions and I never saw it fucking coming. I guess that’s on me too. I should have known better than to fall for someone like Charlie, someone who deserves better than who I am , and now I know just how far out she is. She was an outsider and I drug her in. Dragging my hand through my long unruly hair, I glance between the two of them, unsure what to say. Charlie’s eyes are full of tears, but behind those tears I see there’s something more that she isn’t telling me.

“What is it?” I ask keeping my gaze on hers. Her cheeks flush but she just shakes her head. She doesn’t want to give up any more of her secrets.

“You fucked me over,” I grumble under my breath, my heart beating in my ears. To say I’m pissed would be wrong because I’m fucking livid, but who the hell am I to say anything? The thought just occurred to me that she may know that I’m working with Bryon but she hasn’t brought that to Thorn’s attention and I sure as hell won’t either. Thorn shifts from foot to foot, clearly uncomfortable with the whole situation just as much as I am.

“I didn’t. I haven’t.” Charlie tries to protest but I don’t want to hear it. I wonder how much she gave up on this club?

“You did! You fuckin’ lied right to my face, Charlie! What the hell are you doin’ in my club?” I snap. I lose control and lunge at her. Wrapping my hand around her neck, I slam her body against the wall. She gasps and a small cry escapes her lips as her head bounces off the drywall. Thorn takes a step back leaving me some space, knowing he’d better not intervene. I’m so fucking close to Charlie I can nearly taste her on my lips, stealing her breath.

“It’s not what you think, Savage,” she pleads, trying to suck in that precious air that her body needs, but I don’t give a damn. Not now. I’m in that place inside of me that gives no fucks and doesn’t see remorse. I’m lost to the inner turmoil that swirls its black tentacles around my mind in a haze, nearly blinding me to anything but the kill.

“That’s a good line, darlin’. Think I haven’t heard that one before?” I lower my voice to a deadly tone and level my gaze to her, so close she almost can’t focus on my face. I need her to be able to see, feel, and hear the rage in me. The animal, the savage that I am, a hair’s trigger away from detonation, ready to explode and take her down with me.

“Let me explain. Please!” she begs, tears falling down her cheeks.

Beg me? Fucking begging me to let her explain what the fuck she’s doing in my club while she’s in with the Feds? That’s when reason parts the dark clouds of turmoil. A sliver of light shines in, making me pause.
