CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Trixie

I followed Har, who was carrying my overnight bag, into his room. I moved to take it from him, but he tossed it to the floor near the bed, and closed the door behind me.

“So. It’s been a while, but it’s not like I haven’t seen you at Daytona and shit. Why’d you change your hair?”

I shrugged. “Lookin’ to move up at work. Figured—”

“Nope. You aren’t pullin’ shit with me.”

Dammit. It might’ve only been one night, years ago, but you can learn quite a bit about a person when you spend hours upon hours with them in bed. Which meant, I shouldn’t have been surprised by his observations and subsequent declaration that I couldn’t bullshit him.

I sighed. “It was time for some changes.”

“Because?” he asked, letting it hang.

“No because, man.”

His stern gaze spoke volumes about my ability to duck his questions.

“Was it the attack, or was it Roll?”

That was a question nobody back in Jacksonville had bothered to ask me. Boy, it was hard to realize just how damn stupid I had been at nineteen. I really should’ve set my sights on Har. If he ever decided to settle down, the woman who landed his fine ass would be lucky in so many more ways than just one.

His eyebrows arched, telling me he was getting impatient with me.

“Maybe both,” I said, but it came out sounding like a question.

He sat down on the bed. “So he claimed you. Are you cool with that?”

I looked down at him as he leaned back on his hands. “It don’t matter.”

He gave me his stern no-bullshit look, but mingled it with a smile.

My eyebrows furrowed. “What’s with the smile?”

He shook his head. “I’m not the kind of man you should say that shit to. And by that kind of man, I mean a man who’s had you virtually every which way you can be had.”

There was that heavy thing on my chest again. God, this was embarrassing and not embarrassing at the same time. He looked really good on that bed, and I knew I needed to get out of there.

“You know I don’t mean it that way. He’s just… Actually, I’m just over it. If it weren’t for this,” I held my arm out with the inside of my forearm facing him, but I ignored his jaw clenching at the sight, “I would be putting more and more distance between me and all things Riot MC. Now, I can’t get out until this shit’s wrapped up.”

He sat forward, putting his elbows to his knees, with a hard look in his eyes. “You are not serious.”

I folded my arms across my chest. “I am. And I’m hungry, so is there anything to eat around here?”

He stood, shaking his head, moving toward me. I realized Har had become more muscular over the years. They say love is blind, but I was beginning to think love was blinding. Had I not been in love with Roll all these years, perhaps I would’ve realized letting Har slip through my fingers was a bad move.
