Thor just shook his head as he stared out the window.

“I fucking know. She’s so goddamn pretty and sassy, too. I know she has feelings for me, but she keeps telling me we can’t because of her job.”

“Well... she has a good point. But what does that have to do with you landing in county jail?”

Thor sighed. “Officer Hayes. The one that was hot for Lily. He’s been hitting on Daisy and she turns him down, but that fucker can’t take no for an answer. She had mentioned he was bothering her, but I knew better and stayed away.”

“Okay…”

“Well, I saw them together. But not like in a flirty way. She was angry, hands flying all over the place. She pushed him back and went to walk away when he grabbed her arm and slammed her against his car. He tried to shove her in and I saw fucking red man.”

I ran my hand through my hair. “How bad is it, Thor?”

“Not that bad. But his buddies were nearby and came rushing over. Daisy tried to stop them and stand up for me, but there was no stopping it. My ribs will be sore tomorrow, that's for damn sure.”

“Dude... you gotta drop those feelings for Daisy. Now. She is off limits in every way possible.”

Thor just sighed as he scooted down in the seat.

“But I don’t want her to be, man. I want her. She’s the one and I’m not gonna let her go.”

“Have you been seeing her secretly?”

He shook his head. “No. She keeps saying no.”

I couldn’t help but laugh. “So you haven’t taken her out, you guys aren’t fucking, and she’s said no. But she’s the one?”

“Yup.”

“Damn, Thor. You got it bad for a woman who isn’t even yours.”

Running his hand over his face, he looked at me. “I know. And I try to forget her, but I can’t. What the fuck do I do, Moose?”

“I dunno, brother. But we'll figure it out together.”

InsteadofbringingThorback to the clubhouse, I brought him to my house so Lily could find out what was happening. Thor wasn’t happy about it, but he didn’t really have a choice at this point. He had assaulted an officer, off duty, but still.

I parked the truck and we both silently walked inside to a waiting Lily. I looked around, then back at her.

“Where is everybody?”

“Maddox and Nova are in bed. Hawk and Sav are upstairs with Avy right now so I could get ready for this shit show.”

Footsteps sounded on the stairs and I looked to see them both coming down with my brand new baby girl. I scooped her up from Hawk’s arms and kissed her sweet little head.

Lily pointed to the kitchen chair. “Sit, Thor.”

He bowed his head and sat down while Lily sat across from him with a notebook in front of her.

“I want you to tell me every single thing that happened. All the damn details right down to what color your boxers are. Is that clear?”

“Yes ma’am.”

Hawk snickered, and Sav playfully hit him. I rocked Avy in my arms as her little eyes closed. Thor took a sip of water and looked at Lily.

“I saw Daisy and Officer Hayes together outside of a little restaurant in the town over. She didn’t look happy at all. I could tell they were yelling and her arms were flying all over the place. Hayes got in her face. She pushed him back and tried to walk away when he grabbed her arm and slammed her against the car. I saw red. Rushed over. Threw a punch. He fought back, like a pussy. But then his other cop buddies came running over. Daisy tried to stop them, but there was no point.”

Lily sighed and looked up at Thor. “And you got arrested?”
