Fearing for my life, I finally nodded my head "Yes Yes, I am"

When he licked his lips, fear prickled over my body like tiny knives "Now co had been horrible, the insinuation of what he was about to do was more than I could bear He pushed s apart, he carabbed at the button on th Then, with everything I had left in me, I shoved him with one foot and then kicked hi backward against the kitchen counter Once again, I pulled and tugged against th

When the man pulled himself up off the floor, blood pooled fro cunt!" he screa away on the table, but I had nowhere to go His fist pounded into the side offlurry before the dark curtain of hts faded in the distance, I pounded arette butt into the bushes, I made e to sit down at a table full ofto block her froers while her taste still resided on ue I foundthe half- of her, too Taking an e I was used to doing, and it was freaking me the fuck out The very fact Alexandra had this much effect on

The sound of Archer’s pipes roaring to life brought ht I had the prospect follow Alexandra home andback a little because I didn’t want to spook her that her life er because of her association with ood, I didn’t want to arouse any ave a nod at Bubba and Ollie as I headed in the back door Since it was a Friday night, the clubhouse was filled with members from in and out of town From the looks of it, all the rooms would be used

I slid across one of the worn barstools I didn’t even have to flag Cheyenne down Like she possessed some kind of "Deacon radar," she had been alerted to my presence theto say hello to some of the out-of-town members

With her pal her brows at me I shook my head at her behavior She always knehat I wanted and usually hauled ass to get it for ht? Getme an "eat shit and die look," Cheyenne shoved her hands off the bar in a huff and then went to snatchthe top on it, she thrust it across the bar to me But when I reached for it, she jerked it away from me I narrowed my eyes at her "Seriously, bitch, what the fuck is your probleht?"

She slammed the beer bottle down in front ofthat question"

"Excuse me?"

She rolled her eyes "Don’t be an asshole, Deacon You know exactly who I’ about The little white-bread bitch who has beendoe eyes at you since the day she walked in here"

I took a pull of neck "Alexandra Her name is Alexandra," I replied

At the e "I don’t give a fuck what her naive a fuck about the fact that you’ve just waltzed in here with her scent all over you, not to ot fucked-up hair and your lips are colored from her lipstick"

"Last time I checked, you ain’t my old lady, and there ain’t no ‘Property of Deacon’ patch on your back So you best not be sticking your nose in ry expression carved into her face to recede, and in its place, there was one of extrean in a shaky voice My phone buzzing in lanced at the ID Unease washed over , Archer?"

"Fuck,Alexandra I skidded out My bike is a fuckingand shit, and then--"

"I’ve got it from here Call Rev Give him the lon and have him and the boys meet me there" Before Archer could say another word, I cut off the call In a flash, I was off the stool and sprinting for the door

"Deacon?" Cheyenne called after nored her As I threw open the clubhouse door, I eyed one of the olderto one of the club whores Pointing to the car, I said, "I need to borrow that Now"

Without a word, he tossedopen the car door, I slid across the leather seat and cranked up the engine There was no way I was taking my bike I would be too vulnerable and too suspect A car could ease up to the house without notice, while the univeup a cloud of dust and gravel My hands gripped the steering wheel until my knuckles turned white As I shifted in the seat, I felt like a caged aniut that if Archer’s tire had been shot out, then Alex was in serious trouble Sigel and his thugs had somehoorked out her connection to er Alexandra was in or I would coood to her or e on who I suspected was responsible Sigel He’d been lying low, searching for a way to draw me out When it hadn’t worked with Willow, he’d ht was very important to me

In that hts, I realized how much Alex did mean to me She was more than just Willow’s teacher In the sether, I’d come to care about her more than I’d ever expected While I wanted her physically so fucking bad, it was deeper than that I’d wanted her body all along, and this afternoon was just an exael for trying to take sootten to claim
