I will wait for you.

But most of all, I want your heart. I want to plant myself so deep inside of it that it will take you a millennium to dig me out.

Oh, what was I going to do?

I knew to move across the country.

How much would that cost?

Probably a lot.

Definitely more than I had in my bank account.

But... maybe... maybe Stella would be okay with it.

I mean, she did leave the room when he came in here.

She never said a word about me and her dad texting.

She knew about it.

Sometimes, she would even ask me about it.

.... I just didn’t know how to go about any of this without someone getting hurt.

And my mama was right.

Like she always is.

I think the greatest harm anyone can do to themselves is to deny what the heart wants. No one wants to be miserable.

Chapter 8

Asher – Present – Age 42

Looking at the applications of club girls, the brothers and I looked at each one of them and then passed it on.

We had seventy-four applications.

Seventy-four.

That was the most this club had ever seen.

We usually kept between four to five club girls.

But with Pipe claiming Gabby. Coal claiming Adeline. And Irish is pulling his head from his ass about Sutton. We were out of three girls.

Right now, we had Lizette.

And that was it. And she was getting tired. The brothers deserved something new.

Three club girls stood out to the brothers.

Kayla. Flo. Hanna.

When I saw on Flo’s application that she was a club girl for the Dogwood charter of Wrath MC, I tagged my phone and called Powers.

Then, once he answered on the third ring, I put it on speaker.
