Chapter Eleven

Colton

“I’m not happy, Wade. Not one goddamn bit.” Elbows on his desk, Louie steeples his hands together in front of his mouth. His short, salt and pepper hair matches the goatee on his chin, but his eyebrows are jet-black and, right now, one of them is cocked at me like a pistol, ready to fire.

“I owe you and High Octane an apology.” I hate kissing ass, but, to be fair, Louie isn’t to blame for any of the shit with Liz and Bria. “I thought I was doing the right thing by all of us, joining up with ProFit. Obviously, things got out of hand, sir.”

“Don’t give me that sir bullshit,” he spats, pushing away from the desk to lean back in his chair. “You’ve never used it before, so don’t start now just because you think it’ll appease me.”

Okay, then.

“Just be honest and tell me what that pretty agent of yours talked you into this time.”

I eye him carefully, trying to figure out if that’s really annoyance for Liz I hear in his voice or if he’s being sarcastic. Then I realize it doesn’t really matter, because I’m done doing and saying shit to make people happy.

Over the next half hour, I tell him everything. Even my indiscretions with Bria, not because I’m proud of my behavior, but so he can see the full picture of why I elected to go along with her and Liz and why it’s biting me in the ass now.

“I’m a rider, Louie. I couldn’t give a shit less about anything else in this business other than getting on my bike and putting on the best damn show I can. But I have other aspirations, too.” I meet his eye, my jaw pulsing. “I want a family someday and I know that riding won’t be around forever to support that. You could say I got greedy, thinking the ProFit contract and this crap with Bria would bring a nice payout in the end, and maybe that’s true. But I did it with one thing—and one thing only—in mind.”

Louie hold my gaze for a moment and, fuck, if I don’t get choked up. “What’s that?” he asks and I close my eyes, trying to keep my shit together.

“Her name’s Taylor,” I rasp. “She’s been with me since the beginning, easily my biggest supporter, and, this weekend, I almost lost that.”

“Pretending you fathered someone else’s kid will do that.”

I give a wry laugh. “No shit.”

“So, now what?”

My gaze snaps up to his again, and he’s watching me closely, his expression nothing like it was when I first walked into his office. “I believe that’s up to you,” I say, clearing my throat.

“You’re the one in this mess, Wade. You tell me.”

Suddenly, I feel like I’m ten-years-old, being forced to implement my own punishment for breaking Mrs. Nelson’s window. “I want to ride, Louie. I didn’t bust my ass to get on top this season just to throw it all away, but I won’t do it on anyone’s terms but my own.
