Page 94 of Dozer

“Are you still at the house with Dozer?”

Something didn’t feel right. She wasn’t speaking of alarms in past tense. I had felt a tingle running down my spine this morning. Not from Dozer. But worry that Quinn had been there. The dark sedan was his. He knew where I lived. Had he waited, wondering if I would be alone?

What if he had been there? He absolutely would. He’d found me at Chrome, school—my house would be an easy find.

Had Dozer, Hana, and Blade not been there, would he have come into the house? The fear in my belly grew heavy. I slid my hand into my purse and curled my fingers around the cold steel of the .38 Special.

“How long ago did the alarm go off?”

“About ten minutes ago,” Gabi said.

Quinn could still be there. I rested the gun in my lap. “Thanks Gabi. I’m going to take care of him.”

Dozer

Hana dropped to the ground and gathered up Pippa’s notes. “What the fuck is wrong with you?” she spat.

Blade put a hand on her shoulder. “What happened?”

Romeo stormed into the chapel. “What the fuck did you do to her?”

I reacted. Seeing those words, knowing she still had something with her professor had made me want to eat my own fucking heart. Christ, all I felt was searing heat running through my veins.

My head pounded. I wanted to fight. I wanted to lock her in a fucking dark room and fuck her until I was the only thought in her head.

Instead of killing him, I’d hurt her. Fuck love. Fuck trust.

“She fucking lied. I asked her if there was anyone else.”

My phone rang. I ignored it.

Hana couldn’t explain away Pippa’s relationship with her fucking professor. Not that Pippa couldn’t have a past, but I fucking asked her. Fuck. I told her shit about me, shit I didn’t share with anyone. We fucked Romeo. I had asked for honesty so it wouldn’t be infidelity.

If she still had dick on the side, she shouldn’t have lied about it.

My phone rang again. I pulled it from my pocket. Fuck me twice. I didn’t need Vance chewing my ass over her hurt feelings.

“Yeah.”

“Where are you?”

“At the MC. If you’re calling to give me shit about Pippa, I don’t need to hear it.”

“Quit breaking into her house.”

“That’s over.”

“Good because I was on my way over to knock some fucking sense into you, but Gabi’s getting a strange vibe off her.”

Nothing strange, just guilt coming off her.

“Gabi’s worried so I’m still going to go over. You’re at the MC, but she just told Gabi you were at the house and that you broke in. Dozer, something must be wrong.”

I raked a hand over my scalp. I glanced over my shoulder to Hana, Levi, and the guys. Romeo paced, and fuck followed every other word out of his mouth.

“When was the alarm?” I asked because I’d broken in several times.

“Ten minutes ago.”
