Logan doesn’t look certain, but he doesn’t move to counter-argue it either. Mainly because he can’t. I’m right. This relationship does come with issues, but mostly it strengthens bonds between the two clubs, cementing us forever together. Dane and the Devils would always be more hesitant to move against the Saxons—not that they would—in any scenario. It gives both clubs a greater sense of security and ensures business and personal dealings between them remain strong.
The more the thought takes hold, the more I realise how beneficial this could be for my family, for my brothers and for the Saxons. I understand why they’d be worried, but this is a club we’ve been allies of since before I was born. Why would that suddenly change?
Logan’s gaze pins me as he says, “You’d have to leave Kingsley—your friends, your family behind. Are you prepared to do that?”
I would have to leave. Dane’s club is in Manchester and he wouldn’t give that up. I wouldn’t want him to. I knew what I was getting into when we started this thing up, and I knew it would mean I’d have to move.
“I’ll move.”
“Well, we haven’t discussed that yet,” Dane interjects. “I don’t want you moving if you’re not sure about it.”
“I’m sure,”I sign and nudge my brother to translate.
He does, grudgingly.
“He can’t even talk to you properly.”
“I’m learning. We talk via the phone app. It’s not perfect, but it gets the job done. I know a lot about your sister and what I know, I like. Man, I wouldn’t have claimed her if I wasn’t serious about where this is going.”
This seems to loosen some of the tension around Logan’s shoulders.
“Yeah, I know that, pal.”
Some of my own tension dissipates at the use of the word ‘pal’.
“I know it’s a lot to get your head around, but I promise I’ll do right by your sister and I’ll take care of her.”
He stares at Dane then shakes his head. “I can’t even think about this right now. I have shit back home and a wife who’s pregnant, miles from me.” He points at me. “Don’t do anything else drastic before we have a proper chance to talk about this.”
Logan gives me a glance before striding back into the common room, to Beth, no doubt.
I feel tears stinging the back of my eyes. That was not the ringing endorsement I was expecting to get from my brother.
I don’t feel upset, which is what I expect, but I feel angry. I’m tired of my life revolving around what my family deems necessary. For once, I’m making my own decisions and I’m doing what makes me happy.
Maybe drama like this is why you thought it would be better to avoid overbearing bikers…a small voice in the back of my mind reminds me.
I silence it. I didn’t want a biker. I didn’t want to be caught up in this world, but I didn’t expect to fall for Dane when I thought it. I didn’t expect the depth of feeling I have for the man.
“You okay?” he asks.
I lift my eyes to him and mouth, “You love me?”
A smile flitters across his face. “Yeah, baby, I love you. I’ve loved you since that first night, I just didn’t realise that’s why I was so pissed you snuck out. I wanted to continue in the morning and you denied me that chance.”
“Sorry,” I mouth.
He cups my face. “Water under the bridge now, love.”
“I love you too,” I mouth.
He dips his head and then he kisses me until I’m breathless.
