that he trusts.”
“I
don’t believe that, but what I do know is that if you don’t talk to him all
you’re going to do is worry about it, and then you’ll end up having a ruined
relationship.”
Tarren nodded and
stood. “Thanks for listening to me. I honestly have had no one I trust as much
as I do you, Alexis.”
Before
Alexis could say anything else Lucas and Nico pulled
up on their Harleys, and the sound of their engines was so loud it blocked
everything else out.
“Yeah,
and that’s my cue to leave because the way I’m feeling I don’t think I could
keep my mouth shut.”
They
both stared out the office window and saw Nico and
Lucas speaking. And then there was that damn Red club whore that had been
keeping her distance until right now. She stopped beside Nico ,
but just before Alexis’s heart rate increased and her anger intensified, Nico moved away from her and toward the office. But Red
clearly wasn’t going to give up just because one Landon twin didn’t want to
give her the time of day. Red all but pressed her tits against the side of
Lucas’s arm, and when he turned to the side, disengaging her from him, she
walked over to his bike. It was like watching a train wreck, and neither Alexis
nor Tarren could look away. Red moved her hands along
the gleaming chrome and leather of Lucas’s bike, and although they couldn’t
hear what she was saying, her body language told them she was trying to seduce
Lucas.
“God, what a skank.” Alexis hadn’t
meant to say that out loud, and when Tarren snorted
they both started laughing.
“Yeah,
well at least he isn’t all up on her like I thought he might be.”
Alexis
looked over at her. “If you guys are together he wouldn’t do anything to betray
you.”
Tarren smiled, but it
was totally forced, that much was clear. “We never said there was anything more
going on between us than what we are doing, girl.” She sighed again. “I’m not
about to go out there and act like a jealous old lady. Some booty calls and
occasionally going to dinner doesn’t make us exclusive.”
Alexis
didn’t say anything, because there was nothing else
she could say that would make Tarren feel better
about the situation. She would be the one that had to take control of her life
and go after Lucas if she really wanted him.
“Okay,
I better get out of here.” Tarren gave Alexis a hug,
and then Tarren was walking out the door and moving
past Nico .
Alexis
watched her friend walk right past Lucas and Red, but she also didn’t miss how
Lucas followed Tarren with his gaze the entire time.
Even from the distance that was obvious. And when Tarren lifted her hand in a clear response to something Lucas said, she knew that this
was serious for her. Tarren had never acted this way
over a guy, but could Lucas focus on Tarren and give
her what she deserved? Red reached out and smoothed her hand over Lucas’s arm,
and that was when Alexis turned away. The side door opened, and she scented the
leather smell of Nico before he grabbed her around
the waist and turned her around.
“ Mmm , you smell like lemons, and you know how much I fucking
love those.”
She
snorted, but had to stifle a moan when he slipped his hand down her belly and
between her legs. Her leggings did nothing to shield herself from his wandering
fingers. “ Nico , you have to stop. My dad could walk
in here at any minute.” She moaned out the last word, and just as he went to
pull his hand away the door that led into the garage from the office opened,
and of course her father stood there. Brick looked a little confused at first,
but she knew he could tell what had been going on.
“Boy,
I told you the last time we talked to respect my little girl, and to respect me
and this club.” Her dad took a step closer and pointed a grease covered hand at Nico . “If I ever see you doing this shit with her
again under this roof before…” He stopped himself from finishing that sentence,
and Alexis looked between
