“We just want you safe,” he says, and I can tell he’s being genuine about his words.
“I will take a prospect with me. I wasn’t leaving until later anyway. Everyone is still asleep,” I tell him.
“Well, how about we go out for some breakfast. Mama took the morning off today,” he says.
A small smile comes to my lips. “That would be great.”
When we get outside, he walks me to an SUV. I don’t say anything and just climb in.
“Sorry. We don’t have someone ride with us, unless it’s our Old Lady, and I don’t think we are there yet,” he says as he pulls out of the parking spot towards the gates.
“Yet?” I ask.
He looks over at me with a smirk. “I know you feel something between us.”
I had felt something, but I wasn’t so sure if he would have been interested. It was better not to get my hopes up, so I didn’t want to think about being with him.
“Maybe,” I say, trying to hold back my smile.
“If you are hesitant because of your father, don’t worry. If he knows I am serious about you, he probably won’t try to kill me,” he says before looking over at me and winking.
My eyes widen. “Kill you?”
Zane chuckles at the shocked sound of my voice. “Well, he had told us you were off limits, but I’m not always one to follow rules.”
“I don’t want you to get hurt because of me,” I tell him honestly.
“Don’t worry about it, baby. I have a feeling that whatever Prez does because I want his little girl will be worth it,” he says, waving off my concern.
Before I know it, we are pulling into a diner. I have a hard time believing I would be worth any wrath my father would bring down. Plus, I am just getting to know him. I don’t want to disappoint him.
Zane walks me into the diner with a hand on my lower back. A shiver comes over me at the feel of him touching me.
When we sit down, the waitress comes over with menus.
“What about my brother, Zeke. ‘You think he would have a problem with it?” Zane asks me.
I shake my head. “No, he wouldn’t. As long as you didn’t hurt me, he wouldn’t care. He’s just overprotective.”
“He was born to be that way. Just because he was stolen doesn’t mean he wasn’t given the instincts we all grew up with,” Zane says with a nod.
Zeke definitely has the instincts of the club. He always has. Maybe that’s why I was comfortable around the Vicious Snakes and, now, the Devious Eagles. I knew what men like Zeke were like.
“He has always been like a big brother to me. I am an only child, so I used to pretend Zeke and I were brothers. We always looked out for each other,” I tell him.
The waitress comes to take our orders before he can respond.
“It’s good that you had that. I wish I had known him growing up,” he says once the waitress is gone. Sadness comes into his eyes.
“I wish you would have too. But you guys have each other now, and I know you will get along,” I tell him.
“I hope so,” he says with a small smile.
We stick with small chit chat as we eat our breakfast. He makes me smile with a couple of jokes. I can feel myself beginning to like him more and more.
He’s gorgeous, and funny; something I always liked in a man.
I don’t know what he’s saying at I stare at his lips and wonder what it would be like to kiss him.
