“Hey, Val.” All those years of pretending everything was great sure would come in handy now.

“Hey, Kytten, I’m in Scottsbluff. Any chance you could meet me for dinner?”

“Sure. Cash is busy though, so it will just be me.”

This was something I had to do on my own.

“Well, you’re the one I want to see.” I could hear the smile in her voice.

“I’ll head out in a few minutes. Why don’t you drop a pin where you are?”

“Sounds good, I’ll see you soon, sweetheart.”

The phone disconnected, and I stared at it. She didn’t sound like Val. I mean, it was her voice, but there was something different in her tone. I knew I should bring Cash, but it was important I did this alone.

Going back inside, I went up to our room. “Hey.”

“Hey, Rosie.” He grabbed my hands and pulled me against him. I loved that he wanted to touch me all the time.

“Val called; she wants me to meet her for dinner in Scottsbluff.”

“Okay, when do you want to go?”

I pulled my lip between my teeth. “I need you to stay here.”

“No fucking way.”

“Cash, I need to talk to her alone. I need answers.”

“You know the rules. You can’t go alone.”

“I have to. This is Val; she won’t hurt me.”

“This shit with the Death Dogs—”

I cut him off with a kiss. It was the quickest way to distract him. “I’ll take a car instead of my bike.”

“Baby,” he groaned.

“I love you. But I have to do this alone. Don’t make me regret telling you beforehand.”

“Don’t make me turn your ass red for sassing me.” I smiled as I squeezed my thighs together.

“I have to do this.”

Cash heaved out a sigh. “I know. King is gonna kick my ass when he finds out I let you go alone.”

“I love you.”

“I love you more,” he repeated.

“Not possible.” I kissed him hard before backing up. I had to get out of the room before he took it further and I said to hell with Val.

I slipped downstairs and out the back door. I found Indie’s car and hopped inside. She hadn’t left the clubhouse since Sting tried to kidnap her from The Coffee Shop, and she was so shaken, I had driven her car home. Which meant the keys were in it.

I pulled up to the gate, and Archie opened it, letting me drive through without question. There were definite perks to being the VP’s old lady.

I followed the GPS on my phone to the pin Val had sent. Somehow, I wasn’t surprised when it brought me to an abandoned warehouse instead of a restaurant.
