CHAPTER THIRTEEN

Knox

* * *

A half hour later, I walked into the clubhouse to find every other member of our crew lounged on the couches in the great room. Thank God my dick had finally realized playtime was over, but my brain wouldn’t get the message.

I’d kissed Harper. Touched Harper. My tongue had been in her mouth, my fingers inside her sweet little body, and she’d given me a glimpse of heaven. We’d been just as explosive as I knew we would be seven years ago, and I wasn’t sure if I felt vindicated or terrified.

Everything I’d told her was the truth. She was in my bones, my soul, every fucking piece of me. That didn’t mean I was worthy of her, or even right for her, it was simply fact, and now she knew it.

“Took you long enough,” Bash called out.

I glanced at the clock. “We have one-hour recall, and I’m within ten minutes of that, so fuck right off. I’m getting a drink.” I told that last part to Spencer, who nodded from behind his clipboard.

Ryker stood in the kitchen, and I blatantly ignored him, throwing open the refrigerator door and scanning the contents. I pulled out a bottle of water and shut the door, twisting the top off before facing my best friend.

I could still taste Harper in my mouth, sweet and more intoxicating than any alcohol I’d ever consumed. My shirt smelled like her perfume, my fingers still felt warm with the memory of being inside her.

I was more than a shitty friend.

I was also wearing Harper’s wedding ring, and damn it, I wanted to.

Gulping down half the bottle, I turned to see Ryker leaned against the wall, watching me with narrowed eyes.

“What?” I snapped, setting the bottle on the counter.

“Those had better not be my sister’s fingernail marks in the back of your fucking neck.” His tone was low, steady, and dripped with threat.

And I had fucking had it with him.

“Would you rather they be from someone else?” I rolled up my shirtsleeves, wishing I’d taken the time to get out of my dress clothes like he had. This shit was uncomfortable.

“Are you kidding me? You’ve been married to her for less than a month, and you’re cheating on her?” he roared, stepping forward to the opposite side of the stainless-steel island.

“Whoa, guys.” Bash filled the doorway.

I put my hand out to deter him. This was between Ryker and me.

“Hell no, I’m not cheating on her. I wouldn’t ever do that. Do you have any clue what she means to me?”

“Besides the satisfaction of winning a chase you’ve been on for years?”

My hands clenched on the cool steel of the island. “She’s not a goddamn chase.”

“Tell that to the countless other women you’ve fucked. Or do you forget that I know you better than anyone else on the planet?”

“Nope, out,” I heard Spencer say, and spared a glance to see both he and Bash had their backs to us, guarding us from prying eyes, but not prying ears.
