“Is the club in any danger?” I ask. This is definitely something we should consider.

“We weren’t followed, and they don’t know how to find us, so I think we are okay. If they ever find us, maybe then; but I made sure we didn’t have a trail, and we changed our appearance often,” Nik says.

“Right, we will deal with them if that day ever comes. Since no one knows about Bear’s family, we can just say that you just recently found out that you were his brother, so you came looking for him. Your home life wasn’t good, and you were hoping that your only brother wasn’t like that. You have Lily with you because she’s your best friend and would never leave your side. She practically forced you to take her,” I tell them.

They all stare at me for a moment before nodding their heads. “That’s a good idea. The less people know about them, the better. We should tell Prez,” Bear says.

“We will if we need to. The club has other shit to deal with right now. Until we know there’s a threat, we won’t tell anyone beyond this room,” I say.

“Alright, I trust your judgement,” Bear says, prompting the others to agree as he is the one that they know and trust.

I leave them to catch up and try to ignore the pull to Lily that I feel. I don’t need to get tangled up with a woman.

I have enough shit going on right now.

Chapter Three

Liliana

It has been two weeks on the road, and the first night here at the club where Art had made a life. We haven’t really left Art’s room since we got here, but Nikolai and I really needed rest. We both took a nap in Art’s bed.

Art left to see if there was a room we could stay in for now; hopefully the story Art’s friend worked up will work.

I realised when we woke up that we didn’t even get the guy’s name.

He is fucking gorgeous though. I wonder if there are more yummy men in this clubhouse.

Not that I need any more man problems, but it doesn’t hurt to look. Being that I’m eighteen now and not living with my family anymore, I can be with whomever I want. The thought is freeing but also kind of scary. I never had any options before. I knew my life was going in one direction, and I wasn’t trained for anything more, until Nik took matters into his own hands.

Nick and I decide to venture out, since our stomachs are grumbling loudly.

We get into the main room and Art is sitting at a stool with the same man from before, and they are laughing over something while drinking beer.

We head in that direction.

“Oh, good. You guys are awake,” Art says, smiling at us.

“I forgot to mention that this is my brother, Razor. I was so glad to see you earlier that I didn’t think to introduce you,” he says, gesturing to the hot as fuck man in front of us.

“Nice to meet you,” I mutter.

“My Prez and VP want to meet you, and then you guys are good to stay in a room by mine. I assume you guys wanted to share, since you don’t know anyone here,” he explains.

“It’s okay, we can share. I’m used to his smelly ass already,” I say.

“Hey!” Nik shouts, causing everyone to look over at us.

I look over at him and shrug. I’m not saying anything that isn’t true.

“I don’t smell. You are the one who nearly killed us on the road; took forever to get that smell out,” Nik says, and my cheeks redden in embarrassment.

“Me? What about you? You always smell like something crawled up and died in your ass!” I shout back.

It isn’t until I hear a bunch of laughter that I realise that everyone was listening to us.

“I take it that these are our new guests,” some guy says while walking up to us. He has bright green eyes just like the gorgeous man, Razor. They have to be related because, damn, those are some good genetics.

I don’t realise that I have my mouth open and that I’m openly staring until a hand is waved in front of my face. I look over at Nik and glare. “What?”
