“I’ll go,” I said as a pulse of anger started to slide through me.

What the fuck was she doing here?

And why the fuck was she climbing into unknown situations, risking life and limb?

I knew she had no clue what she was climbing the fence into.

Had she, she wouldn’t have come.

“The cleaning lady is running late today,” Apollo said.“As are some of the guys, which works out.She’s in the office right now finishing up.”

I ignored the rest of the conversation and went around the back, knowing if I went out the front she’d probably try to run.

I rounded the back of the building just as she came darting into the shadows.

Truthfully, she was actually very good at being stealthy.

If we hadn’t had such high-tech cameras, she might’ve been able to sneak in here undetected.

She wouldn’t have been able to get inside undetected, but she could certainly get a good look at the building and existing structures on the twenty acres of land that we had.

Opening my arms, I captured the woman to me.

I’d been longing to do this for so long that the feel of her intoxicated me for a long moment in time before I realized that she was freaking the fuck out.

“Chill,” I barked.

She stilled, her body going completely limp.

Then, “Chevy?”

“What are you doing here?”I asked.

There was a hitch in her breath before she said, “Um…”

I tossed her over my shoulder and took her inside.

Though I wanted the woman like I wanted to take my next breath, there was no way that I was going to let her off the hook.

She’d just broken into our compound, and I needed to know the reason why.

“Chevy!”she cried out against my back.“Let me down!”

I didn’t let her down.

In fact, I carried her right inside, then placed her on the stool in the middle of the few club members that were here and backed up.

She righted the auburn hair out of her eyes and stared in shock at all the men surrounding her.

She licked her lips and said, “Uhhh…”

“Explain,” I growled.

“I, uh…” she started but stopped.

“Now,” Webber said, leaving no room for argument.

“I, um, I’m…” she stuttered, but her eyes narrowed when she saw something over my shoulder.
