"I'm sure they did." He kissed her softly. "But they are your example of what love is. To you, seeing a man who is much older than the girl he's with is normal."

"I know boys my age," she said.

That only hit him harder, and he let his head fall back and looked up at the ceiling as the pleasure rolled through him.

He turned his head. "Boys, babe."

"Whatever," she mumbled.

He slipped his hand between her legs and squeezed her thigh. "Fuck, I'm tired."

"Do you want me to pull out the couch again?"

"In a few minutes." He inhaled deeply. "I'm going to run into the clubhouse and take a shower. You want one?"

"Is that possible?"

"Yeah."

Her smile grew. "Then, yeah. I'd never turn down a long, hot shower with never-ending water."

"Grab your clothes, and I'll walk you in. You can go first. Just leave me enough hot water, huh?"

She laughed and sobered, grabbing his arm. "I have one other thing you need to know."

"Babe." He exhaled. "I'm not big on surprises."

"I know, but it's the last thing you need to know about me."

"Go on," he said.

"I think I found Jeff." She wrinkled her nose. "Let me show you."

She retrieved her phone and sat back beside him. "I took a picture of an old photograph, so it's kind of grainy, and there's a shine because of the glass in front."

Cora held up her phone. He peered at the screen. After several seconds, it dawned on him what he was looking at.

"What the fuck, Cora?"

Her shoulders sagged, and she lost her smile. "I think he belongs to Havlin?"

"You can't be taking pictures inside of the clubhouse." He stood. "Grab your stuff."

"What about my brother? Do you know him? Can you help me find him?"

"Give me time," he muttered.

He had no idea what he was going to do with Cora. It was hard enough to keep an eye on her and keep her safe. Now, she was snooping around the clubhouse and wanted him to find her brother.

Fuck.

While she showered, he'd meet with Jagger. If there were one person who could make more sense of what was going on with Cora and her missing brother with all the information she'd handed him, it would be his president.

Chapter Twenty Two

JAGGER FOLDED HIS ARMS after looking at the club photograph from twenty years back and looked Wire in the eyes. "I know him."

Wire took out the photo Cora let him borrow while she showered and held it out to Jagger. "Is this the same guy when he was younger?"
