Chapter 14

I was nervous, but I had a feeling part of the reason Ryne had his friends drop me off at the restaurant was so he would have the excuse to take me back home. I had my own vehicle, I would have been happy to drive myself. But he had been so excited to have his friends take me, I didn’t want to turn him down.

Not to mention, I was happy for the chance to get to meet some of this friends, even if I had met them before. It was nice getting to know the people he hung out with – the people he found to be his family by choice.

It was so different hanging out with Raf and Callie when Gus wasn’t there. They were so much nicer than Gus and the guys he chose to hang around. Hell, they were a lot nicer than my brother, too, and I was elated for the chance to ride with them.

Then, when Ryne all but asked me to be his girlfriend, I thought my heart was going to pound right out of my chest. I wasn’t sure what to say at first. He had caught me so off guard with his proposition, I wasn’t sure how to respond.

I wanted to say yes right away, but I paused, thinking about what that would mean. If I was going to be his girlfriend, then I was going to break up with Gus. True, we weren’t together because I wanted to be, but I did have to take into consideration what that would mean for my brother, too.

Then again, Ryne had pointed out they found out the kind of gambling my brother was doing was illegal. That meant that he could go to jail if he got caught. And Ryne wasn’t sure if his president was going to go to the cops over the situation.

It made me sick to my stomach thinking that Ryne might end up in jail. Then again, if he was in jail he wasn’t going to get hurt by any of the people he had fucked over here on the outside. I was sure they weren’t going to come for me.

What could they possibly want from me when it was Ryne who had fucked them over? I didn’t want to think about it at all, so I had pushed it all out of my mind.

But then, I started thinking about how I could change my life if I did decide to break up with Gus and go with Ryne instead. Gus cared about me. There was no denying that. He proved it time and time again, and I believed he truly did it out of the goodness of his heart.

There wasn’t any good in Gus’s heart for him to draw on to be kind to anyone. He only looked out for himself, and I knew that’s how he would continue to be. Nothing was going to change between us, and he would likely only get more selfish as time passed.
