Maddie had already gone into the clubhouse and Grant joined her, bringing in the dogs as he did so.
“Someone is going to need to hire someone to keep scooping dog shit,” Rusty said, staring outside the kitchen window. “It’s going to stink.”
Grant ignored him and headed into the main clubhouse. The brothers were all there, enjoying their morning coffee. A couple of the women were hanging around, trying to garner the men’s attention.
He left them to it, heading upstairs toward Aria. She was sitting on the edge of his bed.
“You told me to stay here,” Aria said. She got up and he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close. “What is it?”
“I’ve got to head over to your place. You can’t come with me, but I want you to stay here. Hang out with Maddie.”
“Oh, okay. I could come with you, though.”
“No, it’s too dangerous.”
“And you’re going?” Aria asked.
“I know what I’m doing. I know what I’m up against.”
“I don’t like this.” She ran her hands up his chest, wrapping them around his neck. “I don’t want you to go.”
“I’ll be back before you know it.” He gripped the back of her neck and kissed her hard. “I’ll have my brothers at my back. They’ll keep me safe. When I come back, we’ve got to talk.”
“Okay.” She nodded. “Wait, is this where you break up with me?”
“No. We just have to talk. I’ve got a few things I need to tell you.”
“Sure. Yeah, okay.”
He smiled. “Don’t worry.”
“It’s kind of hard not to worry.”
He kissed her again. “Don’t worry.”
Taking her hand, he led her out of the bedroom and walked her down toward the kitchen. Maddie was there with Lindsey.
“Take care of her.”
Maddie winked at him and he didn’t like that.
Leaving the kitchen, he made his way outside toward his bike. He’d not ridden it in a long time.
“Don’t you think you should take your truck?” Bull asked.
“If I do that, Wanda’s coming with me, and she’s got to stay here.”
“I’ll keep an eye on your dog.”
“What about the shelters? Did the bastard go to them?”
“No, none.”
Grant nodded, straddling his machine. “You’ve not tampered with it.”
“Grant, I’ve told you once and I’ve told you a gazillion times, the only way you’re going to die is by my hand.”
He snorted, he couldn’t help it. “Please, I’m living for eternity,” Grant said.
