“Step into my office.” She smiles, pulling her little black book out. Pam likes to run what she refers to as a baby pool. Whenever a club brother takes an old lady, she takes bets on how long it will take for him to knock her up. “Should I put you and your girlfriend down?”

My stomach drops to my feet. “No. We aren’t that serious.”

“Aren’t you living together?” Her brows meet as she studies me.

I cap a hand over the back of my neck and avoid her gaze. “Yeah. We just aren’t that serious yet. I’m not ready to put a ring on it.”

“Fair enough. Right now, we’re on Smoke and Ember. But I’m afraid they are taking their sweet time. You’re rooming with them. Maybe you’ve got some intel for me.”

“Afraid I can’t help you there.”

“You’re no fun. What about your buddy Trenton? He seeing anyone new?”

“Don’t think so.”

“You prospects are boring.”

She has no idea how wrong she is. I’m in a secret relationship with her niece while fake dating my current girlfriend. She’d have a field day if she knew my secret and the lengths I’m willing to go to protect it.

Chapter Eighteen

Time flies when you’re having fun. Jimmy and I have been seeing each other on the down low for months. We both get a thrill out of sneaking around. The danger, secrets, and lies are nearly as addictive as he is. Every time I see him, I get such a rush. Being with him is like a drug.

We see each other every chance we get. I even went as far as making brownies for the club brothers, so I could have an excuse to drop by the gate when he was on duty. But currently it’s been over a week since we’ve been able to get a minute alone. Of course, he’s always texting and calling when he can, but I have the niggling feeling that there’s something he’s keeping from me.

When I ask, he says I’m being paranoid, but I can’t shake this uneasiness. Maybe it’s because we’ve both been busy. Me with finishing high school and him with the club. He’s been working a lot of late nights. It’s hard not to think he’s with her. What if he’s playing us both?

At first, I didn’t mind as much, but the longer this goes on, the more I suspect that he still cares about her.

I’ll see firsthand tomorrow.

The club’s renting out a local theme park for the day. Prodigy invited Mom and me and my little sister now that she’s staying with us. Her mom backslid and is in rehab.

It’s been different having her live with us. But she’s been great for an excuse to get out of the house and sneak off to see Jimmy. I take her to the park and for ice cream. Stuff that’s fun for both of us and gives Mom a break. She’s pregnant and over the moon to be starting a family with Prodigy. I’m happy for them. We all are. Sometimes I drop Kieleigh off with my older sister, Kimber. She knows about Jimmy. She doesn’t agree with what we’re doing, but she keeps my secret. If anyone understands sneaking around with a prospect, it’s her.

I wish Jimmy and I could go together.

It’s not like I won’t get to see Jimmy at the park, but he’s going to be with Sabrina and seeing the two of them together is going to suck. At least I’m graduating in a week and then he’s breaking up with her and we can be together. I just have to tough it out a little longer.

I stare up at the neon star stickers decorating my ceiling, wishing this was all over.

Soon it will be. That’s what keeps me going on nights like tonight when he’s not even sent me a text.

My cell vibrates and I try not to get my hopes up. When I see his name on the screen, my heart blooms.

Call if you’re awake.

I dial him immediately.

“Hey, brat,” he croons, his voice deep and husky.

“It’s late.” I glance at the clock on my nightstand.

“I know, but I needed to hear your voice. I can’t wait to see you tomorrow.”

“I don’t know if I’m going to go.”

“Why?”
