Thrilling.
I thought it would be scary.
But this is amazing!
He growls, “Good girl,” and the wind catches his laugh as we go faster and faster.
Everything becomes a blur of dappled sunlight, the smooth vibration of the engine, his body heat, and my hair tickling my face.
I lean my cheek against his back and realize my smile is enormous. I don’t remember smiling like this in a really, really long time.
Not since Callum lost his mind.
No. Don’t think about him right now.
One of the other bikes comes up alongside us and makes some kind of signal to Skull.
The set of his shoulders goes rigid against my breasts and he taps my thigh. “Hang on.”
Other bikes come around us, tightening the formation. The roar of the engines is deafening. Wind whips harder and harder until it’s stealing my breath.
How fast are we going?
The trees are blurring, the road is zooming below us so fast, I squeeze my eyes shut.
Okay, I liked the speed before. This feels like we’re being chased by the hounds of hell.
“Almost there,” Skull calls to me.
Thank god.
A few moments later the wind softens. He brakes, and then all of the bikes are turning off the road. I open my eyes as my pulse returns to normal from the danger zone, until I see the gigantic gate that’s open and waiting. Around the entrance there are…a lot of men in leather.
Oh my heavens. Are those real guns? They’re gigantic.
And the fences are really big.
“Is this a prison?” I ask, dumbfounded.
When he said clubhouse, I thought it was like a bar or something.
“Welcome home,” he growls as he coasts to a stop in a row of bikes a mile long.
“You live here?” I squeak.
He’s already climbing off the bike, plucking me like I’m a flower. “Yep and now you do too.”
I’ve never fainted before until today, but apparently it has something to do with Skull because I feel woozy. Again.
Chapter Eleven
I’m pulling my hair out at the roots. “Is she going to be okay?”
Doc chuckles. “If you give us some room to breathe she will be. Quit hovering.”
I can’t help it. I might not ever stop hovering.
He stands up and smiles at Katie. “Rest for a while and drink that water with electrolytes. You’ll be feeling good as new in no time.”
