myself. Michael brought him into the club out of nowhere, it was Alannah who spent time with him the most.”
It seems like none of us knew him that well.
“What do you think you’ll do now?” he asked, bringing the questioning back to me.
“We’ll probably move on in a few days, I just have to figure out where.”
“You could stay around here,” he suggests.
“I don’t know anyone here.”
“You know us,” he argues.
I didn’t know who ‘us’ was. I didn’t know if he was referring to himself and Alannah or his club.
It didn’t matter who, if Billy wanted to stay here that was his decision. I can’t see myself staying here.
“I’m not sure about that.”
“Well, if you change your mind I can help you find somewhere more permanent,” he offers.
“Thank you,” I say chuckling.
“What’s so funny?”
“I got the impression you didn’t want me around then you turn up with home cooked food and now you’re offering to help me find a house.”
The amusement left his face, it was like he had realized what he had offered and was regretting it instantly.
He stood abruptly. I had been too nervous when he first arrived to notice but even though he wasn’t particularly a big guy, his presence managed to fill the room.
There was no doubt he has a dark, dangerous side but there is something about him that screams he’s different.
The first biker I met here was Linc. I had him judged correctly from the first time I caught him leering down my cleavage.
“I should go, it’s getting’ late and you need to sort your boy out,” he said, completely ignoring what I’d been saying.
The sudden change in him had me regretting I had caused it.
While he put the lids back on the containers, I got the plates and silverware from the sink and passed them over.
“Make sure you lock up after I leave,” he orders, heading to the door.
Before I can get a word out he is gone.
Chapter Six
Slade
I shouldn’t have left like that last night but I couldn’t stop myself from coming out with any more crap. The best thing for her to do is to leave town and move on with her life, not stay round here. I can see why Billy hooked up with her, she is hot and her body is rocking. When she speaks she makes you want to listen, not only to hear what she is saying but because you want to hear her voice.
Hearing her say she was only friends with him made the jealousy I feel calm slightly but it still grates on me that he has been with her at all.
After I got home last night, the thought of her staying at the motel riled me. She shouldn’t be in a place like that with a kid.
She doesn’t know where she’s going next but something about her tells me she has a good head on her and she won’t do anything lightly.
Cas wants me to keep an eye on her, so that is what I’m going to do. Once I’ve got all the shit I need to do today out of the way I’ll find another excuse to see her.
Knocking at Sparky’s door I am greeted by a dishevelled looking Bonnie.
“Christ, don’t you two ever leave each other alone?” I tease, as I follow her through to the kitchen.
“I can’t help it if my husband can’t leave me alone,” she laughs, “Why are you here so early anyway?”
“I wanted to bring these back before they became a permanent fixture in my truck,” I say, putting the containers on the counter and taking a seat at their table.
“Was the food okay?” she asks.
“Food was great as always Bon, she loved it,” I smile.
Bonnie turns from loading up the dishwasher and narrows her eyes at me.
“What?”
“You’re happy she liked it.”
She isn’t asking a question, she is stating it as a fact.
“Of course I am, I didn’t want a wasted trip.”
“That’s not what I meant, you…I don’t know…you like her don’t you?”
Fucking hell! How the hell did she figure that out from one sentence?
“Fuck off Bon, she’s Billy’s business, not mine,” I say defensively.
“From
