“They are. Now, you know why he hates his mom.”

“Make sure he’s okay.”

He kissed my temple. “I will.”

Hammer put a hand on Romeo’s arm as we passed. “Blade slipped past me. I’ll let you know if I hear anything. Crawlers are out for blood. They want your VP, too.”

Romeo slapped his shoulder. “Thanks, you’ve been a good friend to the Hellers. Let me know if you ever want to hang-around the MC. We could use a good prospect.”

He shook his head. “Fuck that. You Hellers like to fight. I just bounce drunks.”

Gravel crunched beneath my heels as we walked toward the others. “I’m sure Hana will ride with Blade. I have my car. Do you want me to drive Levi home? You take Jazzy.”

“Are you sure?”

Levi and I would be of the least interest to the Crawlers. “I’m working on Levi. Maybe I can get her to stop calling me slut under her breath like I don’t hear her.”

“Term of endearment.”

Romeo tunneled his fingers into my hair and cupped my head. His soft lips pressed against mine. “I’ll see you later.” He smiled and glanced over his shoulder. “Jazzy, you’re with me.”

Blade, Romeo, and Vance climbed onto their motorcycles.

Levi walked over to Romeo. “Be safe.”

He grazed his knuckles over her cheek, and his gaze softened. “Always. Text me when you get home so I know you’re safe.”

She nodded and then followed me to my car.

A flash of panic jolted through me. A piece of paper fluttered beneath my windshield wiper. I snatched the receipt with words written on the back and darted my gaze left and right, searching the parking lot.

The roar of Heller motorcycles drew my attention. I smiled and waved as they rode away from Chrome. I pushed the fob and unlocked the car doors.

“Is that another note from your professor?” Levi asked.

I read the slip of paper.

Feel me like a shiver in an icy rain. I’ll come quietly in the night.

You’ll tremble as you spread your thighs. I’ll taste. I’ll touch. I’ll fuck.

Because you’ll always be mine.

Q.

I vibrated with fear and anger as I held the paper. He’d been here. I shoved it into the glovebox with the others.

“He’s stalking you. This is crazy. You have to do something. Tell Dozer and Romeo. Tell Coop.”

“No. They have enough to worry about with the fight with the Crawlers. Coop will tell Diego, and my life will turn to shit. He’ll get my dad to pull me out of school. Then Quinn wins because I lose everything, and nothing happens to him.” I covered my trembling lips with my fingers.

“If you don’t do something, I will.”

“I’ll go to campus police on Monday. I’ll file a restraining order.” I started the car.

Another rumble of bikes approached, growing louder. Two dozen bikers—Crawlers—roared into the parking lot.

“Shit.” Flashing lights approached from both directions. “Hammer must have called the cops.”
