My heart fluttered in my chest. If I said yes would everything go back to normal? But I wasn’t exactly thrilled. “And that's supposed to entice me back into your arms?”

Hallow became defensive. “Connie said you wanted to come back to me.”

I hadn’t said that. Was that the only reason he came to me? “Connie says Steph’s been over at the house.”

“She can move out.”

“She moved in?” I all but screamed. “You two are living together? I practically paid for that house.” Holy fuck. To think only moments ago, I was about ready to fall back into Hallow's arms.

“You're not paying anymore. You're living out here in one of the officer houses like Kingpin’s whores.”

“I ain’t a whore, let alone Kingpin’s whore. That ain’t why he’s letting me stay there. He's letting me stay there because I have nowhere else to live because apparently Stephanie is living in our house. I belong to the club, remember. That’s the deal you decided for me.”

“Eve, come back to me,” Hallow said, mechanically. There wasn’t an ounce of passion in his voice.

“How about you try breaking it off with Stephanie before you ask me to come back.”

His passion reared its head as anger. “Why should I give her up if you're not coming back?”

“Are you fucking serious?” The audacity.

“I'd give her up in a heartbeat for you. Just say you'll come back to me. That's all you have to do. Quit being fucking stubborn.”

“I already tried that, and you wouldn’t, remember?” I’d thrown myself at him even after I knew he was fucking Stephanie of all people.

“Eve, I was in a bad place with what you did to me,” Hallow said, bringing up me leaving him on our wedding day.

“With what I did to you? You can’t forgive me, but I’m supposed to forgive you?”

“You started all this,” Hallow said like that mattered.

“And I apologized. I explained. I begged. And you chose her.”

“I already made that choice before you came around. You took your damn time. And I had to make sure the grass wasn’t greener.”

“Greener? You had to make sure you weren’t missing out? You shouldn't be with her in the first place if you want to be with me.” I pushed past him.

Hallow stopped me, grabbed me by the arm, hard.

I hit him on his chest. “You notice I ain’t with anybody.”

“And you won't be with anybody. Not with my brand on you.” Hallow let me go with a harsh toss.

I almost fell. The fucker didn’t care. “We'll see about that, won't we?”

“Any biker here stupid enough to have sex with you, will feel my wrath.” Hallow said, loud enough for everyone to hear.

But I was quiet as a mouse as I told him, “Some biker already has.”

Hallow looked like he might fall over from shock. Then he looked like he didn’t believe me.

Quietly as I could, I said, “I told you I would be with someone else. You didn’t listen.”

Hallow's hands came out of nowhere, becoming a vice as he tried to drag me away with him.

“Get your hands off me. Take me anywhere, and I’ll kill you,” I cried out, causing a scene.

“Hey asshole, leave her alone.” My guitarist, Rome seized Hallow from behind.
