WE PULL UP BEHIND A bar called Savage & Ink, and Royal kills the engine, reaching behind hih, yet careful not to hurt , he climbs off his bike and reaches over to take his helmet off my head "Your first ti ripyeah" He lifts his eyebrows at Jax as he pulls up beside us, and parks

I feel a bit uncouys I don’t even know, but oddly more welcome than I felt at Colton’s party

"Sorry about that," I say with a sigh "And I’m sorry about last–"

"Shit happens," Royal says, cuttinginto his pocket with his free hand "I’ve got to check on these dicks, and since you hopped on ht"

"Yeah," he responds, but doesn’t offer anything else

My heart speeds up frouided into a roo beer

They’re loud and rowdy, not giving a shit about what anyone else thinks and they all see the proud look on Royal’s face makes me smile It’s crazy to see just how opposite he is fro really

Royal encloses his hand aroundme with hiuys shouting and whistling, calling out Royal’s na my attention back to hi, cold beer"

Royal sucks his bottom lip into his mouth as if I’ve just turned him on, and oddlythat turns me on

"Sexy as hell and drinks beer Well shit" He shakes his head, while reaching for two beers and twisting the caps off "Definitely notas he handsthe cold bottle to est drink of ht now

"Yupdefinitely too good for my brother" Out of the corner of my eye, I notice Royal adjust the crotch of his faded jeans, before grabbingme around the bar and to the back of the room, where two pool tables are set up
