“Darlin’,” he drawls in a husky tone.“You haven’t seen me bossy yet.And I’ll show you later today exactly how things are going to be between us.When we’re alone, and naked.”
I can feel my whole face heat up.Did he really just imply having sex and voice it hard enough for Yates to hear?
I clear my throat and decide to ignore his last statement.“Let’s go, did you want me to drive behind you guys?”
“No, your ass needs to be on the back of my bike,” Henley says and guides me to his bike.
Good thing I opted for jeans and boots instead of a summer dress.He grabs a helmet and puts it on my head himself.Yates watches both of us closely.I should question why Henley suddenly decided to be with me while this morning he thought he couldn’t because of everything that was going on.Maybe it is as simple as him taking my advice about what I said to him this morning.
Except the words Clemente made me mention to Henley strike me as odd and it makes me feel as if there’s more going on than I’m aware of.But for now, I wrap my arms around Henley’s waist and relish in the way I feel when I hug him close as the bike roars to life underneath us.
CHAPTER SEVEN
– HENLEY –
She feels so fuckinggood and I feel so damn bad for doing this.I should be completely honest and yet, deep down I am, but I really would have wanted to do this differently.Namely without the implying ulterior motives that can make it seem I made this move for a whole different reason.Still, in the end, the result is the same but the reasons and the way it all went down is leaving a bad taste in my mouth.
Luckily, she only knows what’s important; the fact she’s mine.My old lady and I intend to keep her safe and do exactly what she said I should do.My life, my future, and I’m damn well going to live like I own it all.
My phone rings and I fish it out of my jeans.I see it’s Beck calling and even if I’m seconds away from handling something that can’t wait, I decide to take his call.“Beck, I’m about to head into a meeting, can I call you back in an hour or so?”
“You could, or we could have a drink later today if the offer still stands and you have room for us,” Beck says.
I glance down at Gracy, because if anyone knows if there’s room at the estate, it’s her.“Hang on, Beck, let me check.”I hold the phone slightly away from my mouth and ask, “Do you know if we have a bungalow available for the weekend?”
Her eyebrows scrunch up for a moment before she nods.“Yes, I think there are two available.Shall I call Travis and have him book one?What name?”
I give her a smile and handle the phone call first.“Beck, everything is set.Feel free to bring Oink along with you.What time will you be at the estate?Good.I’ll swing by later tonight.”
I disconnect the line and tell Gracy, “Beck Roman and his girl, Flora Elroy.Can you give Travis a heads-up?”
Gracy grabs her phone and within a few seconds everything is set and it leaves me to focus on what’s in front of me.I’m both nervous and thrilled to be walking into the clubhouse.
Yates and I have been planning this and when Gracy mentioned the possibility of Rush trying to set me up again, I made sure to have something up my sleeve.That little something was just confirmed by Gracy when she mentioned Clemente was going to pull through for me.
“Are you ready, Pres?”Yates asks as he smacks my back.
