“Is there so?” I asked curiously

Easton continued “After Cannel was rescued, it was found that he’d had a girl before her One that he got rid of when he got Cannel That girl was someone I used to know”

I growled underCannel to raise her brows at me in curiosity

“I’ll get back to you by the o ahead and assuuarantee that”

When I hung up, Cannel didn’t waste ti as up

“Tellon?” she asked softly

The softness in her voice, paired with the way her eyes were heavy with sleep, had htly

“Easton wants to enter into a motorcycle club,” he paused “And I think he probably has a few cards up his sleeves that’s going to make O’Ryan a bit closer than you’ll be comfortable with”

“Might be better to block Beau’s access That way O’Ryan testifies, and et to have fun,” she teased

“Not me?” I asked curiously

She shook her head, her lips brushing against my pectoral muscles

“No,” she said “Because that et close to you, and I just can’t handle that”

“You like me, don’t you?” I teased

She tilted her head way back on her neck so she could see , “Like isn’t a strong enough word for what I feel for you, Detective Schultz”
