“Of course not.Why would you say that?”

“If it wasn’t for me, Logan, you would have traveled back with him.He’s traveling home alone and that’s dangerous.”

“He’s got someone watching his back—at least from a distance.”

“What’s that mean?”

“Diesel had another member come up to watch my back while I was here so he could go home.I talked with him and we both agreed Diesel needed more protection than I did.So he’s following him back and once Diesel gets settled, he’ll come back—if I’m still here.”

“You’re thinking of leaving?”I ask, trying not to be too needy, but I can literally feel myself panic at the thought of Devil not being here.

“I have a life back home, Torrent.You know that.It’s a life that I like.I have a family there.”

“Oh…”

“That said, I’m hoping you will think of coming home with me.”

“You want me to…”

“I told you I’m in this for the long haul.You had to know I wanted you to come home with me, Torrent.”

“I guess I never thought about it…”

“Then maybe you should,” he says and my heart kicks into overdrive.“Would you be willing to come back home with me?”

“I… I guess I never realized how complicated a relationship between us would be.”

“Torrent—”

“I’m not saying no, Logan.I’m not.I’m just thinking maybe we pick our battles one at a time.”

“Wolf,” he says and I nod.

“I think that’s the biggest thing, don’t you?”

“Have you heard from him any more?”

“He’s planning on being back in town in two days,” I tell him and saying that out loud makes me nervous.

“Good.I want him back here and things out in the open.I got to tell you, Angel, I’d do anything for you, but I’m getting damn tired of sneaking around to see you.It’s a pattern we’ve done way too much of.”

I can’t argue with him.At the same time, I can’t help being nervous about the future.

Can I move away from everything to be with Devil?Everything I ever shared with my father is here…

Can I leave my past behind to have a future with this man?

Chapter52

Devil

“Now you’rethe one that’s quiet, Angel,” I whisper into the dark room.I’m lying in bed with Torrent and it’s been a good night, but definitely subdued.I’m worried about Diesel and I know Torrent has a lot on her mind—most of which is my fault.There’s a chance I pushed her too hard tonight, but it had to be done.She can’t hide from the truth forever, and I think that’s what she is doing.

She curls back into me, kissing the side of my neck and I guess I should be glad that she hasn’t pulled away from me.I’m not sure how I would have handled that.I’m trying to handle Torrent gently, but I’m not this man—the man who sneaks around to see his woman.I’m too fucking old for this shit.

“I’m… not looking forward to what needs to be done.”

“Torrent—”
