Most people would be shocked and possibly alarmed by his silence. Not Trey. He’d known Rogue his whole life. Been tight through the system throughout childhood. Trey knew Rogue. And Rogue knew Trey.
“When are we taking this to Oz?”
“After we get back.”
“Fuck, no.” Rogue folded his arms. “We do it now, Trey. We take her in, keep her fucking safe.”
Trey shook his head.
“Quicker we make it known, the safer she is. Fucking speculation only puts her at risk.”
“No.”
“Why the fuck not?”
“Because I have to give her one last taste of normal before I blow up her fucking world.”
And yes, he was about to blow up her world.
Chapter Twenty-Three
Dahlia enjoyed working the balcony and the close proximity to Trey, but she also thoroughly enjoyed her time at bar one. Over the course of a month, since she’d started working, she’d built solid friendships with Keely, Killian, and Misti. They were restricted to work hours, but she’d gotten to know each of them, some on a more personal level. Misti had been open, talking about her boyfriend, especially when he pissed her off. Dahlia had become Keely’s go-to person for sharing her dating life. Killian was the only one who seemed quiet when it came to anything involving his love life.
Dahlia assumed he had a girlfriend since he constantly fended off advances from customers. Loyal. She’d expect nothing less from him. But she couldn’t fault the women for trying to shoot their shot. Dahlia may have eyes only for Trey, but she could recognize and appreciate Killian’s good looks. Tall, sleek muscles, blond tousled hair with red highlights, and bright green eyes.
“Hey, Kill, do you have a girlfriend?”
Killian stilled, slowly glancing over, and his brows dipped. But she saw the playful glint in his eyes. “You want to discuss personal lives?”
Dahlia shrugged. “Why not?”
Killian smiled, pinning her in his stare. “Let’s start with yours. What’s your man like?”
Dahlia froze. Did he know? Trey had made a point of mentioning everyone who knew about them, and Killian’s name hadn’t come up.
“I didn’t know you had a boyfriend, Dahlia.” Keely rested her arms on the bar, grinning. “You never talk about him. Tell us everything.”
Oh shit!
“Yeah, tell us everything.” Killian grinned and raised his brows.
He knows!
Misti pushed past Killian, sidling up next to Dahlia. “Save the inquisition for later. Need someone to set up Rogue’s bar in his office. It’s the same set up as Trey’s. You got this?”
Dahlia pointed to her chest. “Me?”
“Yeah, you.”
“I don’t think Rogue would want me in his office. I’m pretty sure he hates me.”
Keely chuckled. “It’s not just you, Dahl. His hate is universal.”
Dahlia drew in a breath, glancing to the balcony.
“Or? I can do it, and you can tell Keely more about your man,” Killian said.
There was a slight tease in his tone, and when she looked over at him, he winked.
