I let go of her arm and take a step back. I don't need to be so close to her. It only makes things worse.

I cross my arms over my chest and glare at her, "What the fuck are you doing running from me?"

She scoffs, "You sure are a dumb one. Obviously, I don't want to see you, Leo."

"You may not want to see me, but what is the deal with you running from your mother? You know you got half my fucking club out looking for your immature ass. Get your shit and go the fuck home, Nisa." I keep my distance, but I can see her getting more upset with every word that comes out of my mouth.

"Immature? That shit is rich coming from someone like you." She rolls her eyes and tries to walk around me.

I grab hold of her arm and spin her back in my direction. "What the fuck is that supposed to mean? I take care of my business."

"You don't do shit, Leo. Nothing but sit on your bike and order people to do your dirty work. There's nothing mature about you, Leo. You just have a bunch of followers sniffing your ass to make you think you run something." A slight smirk touches the corner of her mouth.

"Nisa, look at me." I wait until her eyes lock in on mine. "Does it look like I give a hot fuck what you think of the way I run my shit? Your family and my club have a history, so we're never going to stop looking out for you. I don't know what the hell is going on, but your mother came by the club to ask us to find you. After everything that she's been through, why in the fuck would you put her through this now?" My voice is harsher than it needsto be, and all the anger pumping through my body drains away when I see a tear roll down her cheek. "Nisa, what's going on? Why are you doing this?"

She shrugs her shoulders before she rocks back and forth on her heels.

"Nisa, you know I'm here for you, what-"

Her head snaps in my direction before she squints at me as if I've just thrown shit in her face, "You're here for me? When?" She picks her hand up and points one finger into my chest, "When the hell have you been here for me and my mother? You think because you and your misfit bike riders threw some roses on my brother's grave, you've been taking care of us. You've did nothing but bring problems to us and then fucking vanished in the night after my brother died."

How the hell can she say something like that? There is nothing that I wouldn't do for her or her mother. They both know that. Or at least I thought they did.

"Nisa, we didn't vanish. We didn't want to bring your family into our mess. We thought if we stepped back from you that things would be easier."

She sighs, and more tears drop down her face. "Easier? How the hell is it easier to lose my whole family in one swoop? Do you think because Hugh was the only one to pledge with you guys that he was the only one that was your family? I loved that fucking club. I was proud to say that my family was part of the Chrome Creed MC, then Hugh died, and you told me to fuck off. I didn't just lose him; I lost all of you guys too, so don't tell me that you've always been there for me because it's a fucking lie." She takes in a deep breath and walks around me.

I'm speechless.

When Hugh died, I pushed Nisa as far away from the club as I could. Not only because she's underage but also because I know that I won't be able to live with myself if something ever happensto her. I never thought that she would think I was abandoning her.

I shake my head to get out my feelings. There are still questions that need to be answered. "Nisa, hold up."

I chase after her again.

"What, Leo? Just leave me alone." She turns back in my direction, her attitude firmly back in place.

"Nisa cut the shit. I get it, we didn't handle shit right after Hugh died, but I'm here now. Tell me what's going on, give me a fucking chance to help you."

She looks down, the weight of the world on her shoulders, "You're too late, Leo."

I open my mouth to argue with her, but when she looks up at me, I know it's useless. I don't know what happened to Nisa over the past years, but I know that nothing I say will make it better.

Instead, I pull her into my arms and just hold her against my chest. Her tiny body fits perfectly in my large arms, and for the briefest of seconds, I forget that she's the little sister of one of my fallen brothers.

My heart hammers in my chest as she nuzzles further into my chest. Her hands graze up my arms and wrap around my neck. When she scratches the nape of my neck, the sensations slingshot straight to my cock.

Fuck, I need to put some distance between us.

"Leo?" Nisa's voice is barely more than a whisper, and she tilts her head back so she can look up at me. Her hazel green eyes sparkle with the wetness of her tears. She licks her lips, and I can feel her tight body raise slightly. Her mouth is so close to mine.

What I wouldn't give to feels those pillow-soft lips.

This is Hugh's sister, not a sweetbutt.

I turn my head and push her away softly. I clear my throat, and she sighs in frustration.

The magic moment is gone.
