Page 88 of Warrant

“You’re not leaving Sentinel, right?” Rae asked suddenly.

“No. I wouldn’t make him leave his family, his MC, his ranch. I’ll be staying here.” There was no doubt in my mind that Warrant wanted me. He’d told me as much, more than once, so I was secure in the fact that when I told him I wanted a relationship with him, he’d be all in.

“Good,” Kaisa replied, “otherwise I’d be giving your badge back and shredding that resignation letter.”

“What are we going to do for a sheriff?” Harlow asked.

“Actually,” I said, looking around at them, “I have an idea about that.” I quickly told them who I thought they should promote as interim sheriff, to take my place until the next election, and they were all grinning by the time I explained why.

“That’s a great idea. Do you think he’ll do it?” Harlow asked.

“You can be quite persuasive,” Mona told her. The commissioners nodded.

“Wait. Why me? That’syourjob,” Harlow said to Kaisa and Maya.

“Because you’ve known him longer,” Kaisa said with a shrug.

“You have our full backing. Unless he wants a raise,” she said with a frown. “We’d have to discuss that.”

“Great,” Harlow said with a sigh. Then her eyes brightened and she perked up in her seat. “Woof.” She growled, baring her teeth in a feral grin.

Turning in my seat, I looked out the window and my mouth dropped open. The others were already laughing. It didn’t take much to figure out that Harlow was looking at Demolition, Pyre, and Rotor as they walked down the sidewalk. “Did you- Did you just bark at them?” I asked with a laugh of disbelief.

“Oh, they didn’t hear me,” she said, waving a hand in a dismissive motion.

“I wishIhadn’t heard you,” I replied, shaking my head. “You want me to see if Warrant would set you up with one?” I arched a brow when she blushed.

“No, I’m good.”

“Do you already have your eye on one?” Mona asked, exchanging an amused glance with me. We’d both picked up on that almost immediately.

“No,” she said too quickly.

Kaisa honed in on her. “Sure sounds like you do, Harlow.”

“Enough about me,” she insisted. “We were talking about Ains and her biker.”

“No,” I said, drawing the word out. “We’ve switched to you. Is it Cypher? I could see you liking the guy in charge.”

She rolled her eyes. “It’snotCypher. Though he is gorgeous.”

“Ha!” Maya said, smacking the table and making Rae jump. “So youareinterested in one of them.”

Harlow huffed out an irritated breath. “I don’t think that’s what I said.”

“Didn’t need to,” Mona said with a smug smile.

“Now all we need to do is find out which one,” I added.

“Pyre’s incredibly handsome,” Rae offered.

We all zeroed in on her.

“W-what?” she stammered.

“I didn’t think you even noticed men,” Kaisa mused. “At least not living men.”

She laughed. “I’ve told you before that those guys are handsome.”
