“Give us a chance, Lennox. I know you have your own secrets. I’m asking you to put everything away for a bit and concentrate on the two of us. I think, if you do, I could prove to you we’re meant to be together.”
“What if you find out my secrets and hate them? What if your club hates me?”
“Are you ready to tell me what you’re hiding?”
“I need to speak with someone first. Can you give me some more time?” she asks, looking torn.
“Are you going to stay here with me?” I counter.
“If I stay, are you going to try not to be an asshole again?”
“If you promise to stay, I’ll promise you anything you want, Lennox.”
“I’m staying. The longer I’m with you, the more I find that I don’t want to leave.”
I drop my forehead against hers. “Thank fuck.”
“Ghosty?”
I let out a small chuckle. “Yeah, Babe?”
“What’s the chances of you reminding me of all the reasons I love your dick?”
“Oh, I’d say your chances are very, very good,” I groan.
“Goodie,” she whispers as I take her mouth.
My hand slides down to palm her ass cheek and squeezes it. This woman is everything I’d given up on ever having. She owns me. I could tell her I know who her father is and that she’s kin to the Levkin brothers. I don’t for the simple reason that I want her to trust me and tell me herself, not wanting to force her hand. I need her to let her guard down and come to me of her own free will. It’s going to happen.
I won’t allow any other outcome.
Chapter 18
Ghost
One Week Later
When I left Lennox in my bed this morning. I knew I was on the verge of uncovering all her secrets. I wanted to wait for her to tell me, but it has been a week and she’s yet to tell me anything. E-Z and I had a quick phone conference with Ivan. I didn’t realize that what I learned would rock me to my core. I’m not sure where this leaves me and Lennox. Hell, I don’t even know how she’s been able to be here at the club. It must bring up painful memories for her.
I called an emergency meeting, but there’s only a few of us here. I don’t trust this information with everyone. I spoke with E-Z, and we called in the main officers of the club. That’s it. E-Z, Shadow, Rage, Iron and Brick.
We’re in the room reserved for church. My brothers are all sitting around the table, staring at me. I’d rather be shot again than do this. The problem is, I don’t know what Lennox has gotten herself into. I need to make sure the club watches out for her.
“Anyone going to clue us into what this meeting is all about?” Shadow asks.
The tension is thick in the group. They may not know what’s going on, but they’ve definitely read the vibe in the room. I let out a sigh, and with a glance at E-Z, I begin.
“I need the club to have my back. I have a … situation,” I mutter.
“What sort of situation?” Brick asks. As enforcer, I expected him to ask first.
“I’m taking Lennox as my old lady,” I tell them, causing laughter to move through the room. If only they knew, there’s nothing funny about any of this.
“Jesus Christ, Ghost. You had us worried. Why you sweatin’ it? You might be private with your sex life, but I think you can handle one woman,” Shadow ribs me.
“If he can’t, he better not give her his cut,” Rage adds.
“Lennox has baggage that could be a problem,” I exhale, trying to get back control of the conversation.
