I can only stare at Ledger. The waitress comes and places our order on the table and quickly dashes off to serve others.
Ledger offers me a hint of a smile. “I probably shouldn’t have mentioned the text from Colt. I could have scored some serious bonus points if I had said yes to having our moment: a date. Though, I didn’t want to lie and with you mentioning Colt’s weirdness before we walked in here…if I didn’t think he was acting weird before, he sure as fuck is now.”
My eyes slide over to my brother. He’s leaning on his forearms, eyes set on Kay while his mouth moves as if he’s telling her a story. I can’t see Kay’s face but it looks as if she’s ignoring Colt and instead is fully engrossed with eating her ice cream, shoveling spoon after spoon in the direction of her mouth.
“Can you at least give me your eyes? I mean, we’re on a date here,” Ledger says, his voice tinged with a hint of laughter and huskiness.
Okay, I might totally add the huskiness in my head but it’s been four freaking days since I’ve felt him inside me.
“Can’t we slip into the bathroom for a quickie? Maybe we could let Colt look after Kay when we get home so we can run off to the back of the stables and have sex. It’s been four days since we had sex, and before then it was years and years for me. I might go insane if we won’t be having sex any time soon. Not that I’m complaining or want Kay gone.” I shove a scoop of chocolate ice cream into my mouth to cut off my ramblings. I let my eyes fall shut when the sweet flavor explodes on my tongue causing a long moan to rumble through my chest as I sigh, “So. Freaking. Good.”
“If you don’t stop moaning, I’ll bend you over this very table and fuck you from behind, no matter who the fuck is watching. Dammit, woman,” Ledger growls, making my eyes flash open to see the lust swirling in his eyes. “And for the record, if it was possible to take you up against the wall of the stable, I would have. But Alfie made sure every single corner of our ranch can be viewed by security cameras. And I’m not into sharing you or so much as giving Alfie a chance to glance in on me taking you. That fucker would probably palm his cock and rub one out since he likes watching people fuck.”
My cheeks heat and I try to cool my body by scooping more ice cream into my mouth.
Ledger glances in the direction of Colt. “Maybe we could ask him to take her to his cabin, then we’ll have our house to ourselves.”
I point my spoon in his direction. “Or we could head for his cabin so they are closer to the main house and the rest of the bikers. For safety purposes, not because I’d probably scream your name so loud when you–”
“Stop. Talking,” Ledger grits through his teeth.
I can’t help but smile, happy to know he feels the same way. We’ve been together day in, day out, and yet it’s not enough. Our connection is solid and only growing and it does make me wonder where we will stand in a couple of months, or years for that matter. I do hope it’s the same heat level, but only time will tell.
“What the fuck?” Ledger snaps underneath his breath, his gaze locked on something behind me.
I glance over my shoulder to see a burly looking biker stroll inside the diner as if he belongs here. But nothing could be further from the truth. He’s not wearing a leather cut with the same patch as the one Colt and Ledger are wearing. This biker belongs to the Deranged Hounds MC. He does look slightly familiar. I must have seen him in the clubhouse the day of Kay’s father’s funeral.
“What is he doing here?” I whisper.
“No fucking clue. Stay here,” Ledger says and bypasses the biker to head toward Colt’s table.
Colt is standing in front of Kay, blocking the biker’s attempt to head for Kay if that was his intention. And that’s just it, I have no clue what his intentions are. All I know is that Rowen was going to pick Kay up, but Colt said she had seven days with us. We still have three days together.
Maybe something happened. Oh, shit. I hope Rowen is still alive. Even if Kay isn’t as close to her brother, he’s still her only living relative. I strain my ears to get a hint of the words thrown back and forth, but they are having a hushed conversation.
If the look on my brother’s face is any indication, I’d say the biker is going to get his ass kicked if he doesn’t leave soon. The biker takes a menacing step forward. Ledger jumps in between and holds out his arms to stop both Colt and the biker.
“She needs to get her cunt home to Shreveport,” the biker snarls.
Holy shit. Every pair of eyes are now locked on them. Kay is cursing and trying to launch herself at the biker but Colt catches her in a tight grip.
“We will, but not today, and not by you. We have an agreement with her brother, your Prez. There is no damn way shit is going to change unless he himself is standing before us,” Ledger says and widens his stance as if he’s getting ready for a fight.
The biker spins on his heels and to my surprise he’s not walking out of the diner, but he heads straight for me. Except suddenly I’m not facing the biker striding at me, but I’m staring at the
