Shayna
E ver since our night in the back of his truck, there’s been a shift.
Link’s been soft and sweet, complimenting me every day, making sure I’m always smiling.
Before, he used to come into the common room and sit off in the corner.
Now, he sits at the bar and talks to me.
He’s told me all about his life growing up, about his family and what it was like being on the force.
He’s shared so many things, and I feel like I now understand why he is the way he is.
Even the guys have noticed a change in him.
They’re starting to wonder why he’s not being a grumpy ass anymore.
But I think they’re catching onto the reason.
We haven’t officially come forward with our relationship yet, but I think they have their suspicions.
Link’s been caught a few times sneaking into my room after dark.
My night stalker coming to have his wicked way with me before he slips out, leaving me in a dreamlike state.
He told them he was checking on me because I’d been having nightmares, but there ain’t a single man in this place that believes that.
“I’ve been looking for you.” His deep voice hits my ear, causing the heat to stir in my gut. I place the bottle of liquor on the shelf so it doesn’t slip from my hands. “Just got word from King that we’re heading out tomorrow to go east for a few weeks.”
I turn to face him and my good mood sinks right to the pit of my stomach. “Do you have to go?” The last time they left, bad things happened and it terrifies me.
“Yeah,” he sighs, brushing the hair off my shoulder. “There’s some shit going down and it involves some dirty cops. Since I know how the law operates, it will be good for me to be there to help out.”
“You’ll be safe, right?”
“Always. You don’t have to worry about me. But I am definitely worried about you. Are you going to behave while I’m gone?”
If he’s worried that I’ll find myself in the arms of another man, he has nothing to worry about. My heart is his sole property.
“I would never betray you, Link.”
“That’s not what I mean, babe. I don’t want you playing with that pussy while I’m gone. The only time you can touch yourself is when I call, understood?”
“Then you better call me every day.”
“I plan on calling you morning, noon, and night, baby doll. I won’t deprive my girl, not unless you cross me.”
“I’m already getting hot just thinking about it.”
He moves in, pressing me up against the shelf and then the door opens.
“Yo, Shay!” Link pulls away right as Dagger comes barging into the stockroom. “Have you seen my sister?” He looks from Link to me, and I can see the smirk forming on his lips. I think he knows exactly what’s going on inside this room.
“Sorry, I haven’t seen her. But I’ve been taking inventory for the last hour.”
“I swear she lives to drive me crazy. If you see her, tell her to come find me. I have a bone to pick with that girl.”
“You may want to check the garage,” Link states. “That’s where Rogue is.”
Dagger’s shoulders instantly turn stiff while his nostrils flare with that same frustration.
I don’t think he likes his sister’s fascination with the wild one of the club.
I just think she finds Rogue to be a kindred spirit.
Both are not much for words and angry at the entire world.
Without saying another word, Dagger storms out of the room on the hunt for his stepsister.
“Do you think he knows?” Link asks, moving back in, reclaiming his spot against my body.
“Does it really matter if he does? He’s not giving you any grief over it if he suspects anything. Besides, at some point I’d like to come out of the closet,” I tease, looking around the room full of liquor bottles. But in all honesty, I don’t want to hide anymore.
“I know, baby. It’s just with all the shit going down, I didn’t want to add a distraction.
When I get back from out east though, I plan on sitting down and talking to them about us.
By the way, what would you say to me taking you out tonight?
I’d really like to be alone with you before I have to head out of town. ”
“Really? Like a date?”
“Yeah. I should’ve taken you out sooner, but I like having you locked under me too much.”
I like that too. But this… I feel like squealing in glee. We’re going on a real date.
