swing at me, I sent him to the hospital for a rest, and I’m here explaining this shit to you.”
“I just need to know everything so I can best represent you.” Cara would rather give up her weekly manicures than ask him who Kylie was.
“You’re the boss,” Hawk said. “ For now .”
Ignoring him, she continued, “Okay, you have two months left on probation. It’s obvious they’re trying to find something to prove you violated it. If you get a violation, you’ll be sent off to state prison for a stint. Have they done this crap the whole eighteen months you’ve been on probation?”
“Nah, they just started a few months ago. Not sure why. As Banger told you, they’re trying to shut the MC down. They wanna put the Insurgents outta business. Don’t have a fuckin’ clue as to why.”
“Did you have any guns or drugs at your house?”
“I can’t have a gun. I’m on probation, remember?” He smiled.
“Drugs?”
“My house was clean. Not sure if sexy pics of my ladies count.”
“The pictures won’t matter to the police.” Cara pressed her lips into a berry-stained slash. His ladies? How many women does he have? Is Kylie his main girlfriend? Crap… why do I even care?
Hawk’s voice invaded her thoughts. “What should I do?”
“You can’t go back to your house or to the clubhouse, since those are the first places they’ll look for you. Right now, we don’t know if they’ve found anything, so you have no legal obligation. If they found something, they’ll get an arrest warrant. It’s Friday, so if you get picked up, your butt is in jail all weekend. Bail won’t be set for you until Monday at your bail hearing. Do you have anywhere to go?”
Hawk shrugged. His complacency was a common thread which weaved through a lot of Cara’s clients. They never understood the seriousness of the situations at hand. And it got on her nerves—big-time.
“What about a motel?” she asked tersely.
“Are you gonna be with me?” He winked at her.
Twisting her mouth, she said, “I’ll make sure you’re settled. It would be best if you lay low all weekend. I’ll try and find out what’s going on and whether or not they found anything.”
“What about me staying with you? They’d never look there, baby. We’d have some fun. I’d give you a real good time.”
Cara licked her lips. “I’m sure you would. I can’t have you stay with me. You’re my client now, and I can’t find myself in a compromising situation. I could be disbarred.”
“You worry too much about all this shit, babe. Who’s gonna tell on us? I don’t play by citizens’ rules. Fuck that shit.”
“Well, I live in this so-called ‘citizen’ world. I’ve worked too hard to be where I am, and I’m not going to blow it.”
“Come over here.”
Shaking her head, Cara chewed her lower lip.
“I said come over here, woman,” Hawk growled.
Cara kept biting her lip.
“Shit, you’re the most infuriating woman I’ve ever known.”
In two long strides, Hawk was next to Cara, grasping her arms, yanking her out of her chair, and crushing her against him. Putting both hands on his chest, she tried to break away from him.
“Settle down. Give me your lips.”
When Cara tipped her head back and peered at his face, her breath hitched as Hawk’s gaze dropped from her eyes to her shoulders, and then her breasts, assessing her. Slowly dragging his gaze to her mouth, he ran his calloused thumb under her bottom lip and smiled, inclining his head as he moved his mouth over hers, devouring its softness. A shiver of wanting ran through her, and her eager response to his mouth on hers shocked her. In response, Hawk’s kisses grew more savage—he invaded her mouth with his tongue while his teeth grazed her lips. Fighting the desire that spread throughout her body, Cara twisted in his arms, but each movement made him hold her closer to him.
Her brain screamed, Get away from him! What would your family think of you now? But
