What do I do?

He found my private cell number within hours of getting it. It won't be long until he finds out where I am. It wouldn't do me any good to run, he will just find me.

I text Lana

When I pulled up to Lana's I decided to park in her garage, just to be safe.

I unloaded my bags and hung all of my new clothes and unpacked my suitcase. I kept my gun with me wherever I went in the house.

Grabbing underwear and some pjs, I went into the bathroom to shower. The hot water felt amazing and I stood under it for a good twenty minutes, letting it wash my worries away, before actually getting clean and getting out.

After looking at myself in the mirror, I wrapped up in Lana's luxury bath towels. I was happy I got the spray tan, I was so blinding white before, now sun-kissed gold. I bought so many little tops I wanted to be tan and cute not pasty and ghostly.

There were three knocks at the front door making me jump and my heart race.

It can't be? There is no way he found me already?

I quickly threw on pj shorts, sports bra and the Las Vegas Harley tank top.

I grabbed my gun in the palm of my hand, holding it out in front of me. I clicked off the safety and slowly crept to the front door.

I peaked out the peep hole

"Drew?" I asked out loud totally confused

"Hailey? Can I come in?" His muffled voice came through the door as I was already unlocking the door.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him confused but his eyes were on my hands and the gun in it.

He put his hands up in surrender "Whoa...easy, you good? Can I come in?" He asked now moving his hand out slowly to make me lower the gun that I hadn't put down yet.

I clicked the safety on and lowered it. "Come on in" I said blowing out a breath as I extended my arm opening the door to him.

"I didn't even hear your bike" I told him as I closed the door behind us but not before looking both directions to see if anyone else was out there.

"Have a seat. Do you want a drink?" I asked going into the fancy kitchen to get a drink.

I grabbed a bottle of gin and some tonic , mixing myself a drink.

"I parked down the street. A beers good thanks" he called from the couch

"Okay so, what's going on? Lana isn't here" I tell him popping the metal cap off the IPA beer Lana had in the fridge.

"I didn't come for Lana" he said with a look like I should just know why he's here.

I furrowed my eyebrows

"Cole sent you? Why?" I ask genuinely confused as to why the extremely busy president of a motorcycle gang had any interest in me just because we slept together.

"I don't know darlin you'll have to ask him"

"Okay, No, don't do that" I said handing him his beer that I had poured into a pint glass.

"I get these guys all have their nicknames and think and act a certain way about woman but you just don't seem that way, Drew. Also, you're way younger than I am and it's just weird dude" I tell him shrugging my shoulders. He just chuckled at me.

"Look Hailey, all I know is that Lana called Ghost, all worked up, about how some crazy dude was stalking you and she was upset. So, Ghost told Cole...here I am" he shrugged

I sat down into a wingback chair and just looked at him "and now what?" I asked with my hands out

"Now we wait. You have any cards or dice?"

Wait? What is happening right now?

I look around the room

"wait for what?!"

"Cole"

"Why would Cole-

"Hailey, I really don't know, I'm just doing what I'm told to do" he smiled but the look on his face said stop asking questions. Then he settled back into the couch.

"Okay, well, I have no idea if Lana has any games but I can look or there is always the tv" I say conceding to the fact that he's not going to leave until Cole walks through that door.

"Let me go see what she has" I tell him and leave him in the living room while I go call Lana.

"What are you doing?!" I whisper yell into the phone "you told Ghost about Ryan and now I've got Drew on the couch babysitting me, wanting to play dice until Cole gets here!"

"Good! I was scared Hailey! This isn't about liking or not liking Cole. I told Ghost because the Club will help you. They offer protection to people. Cole is your best bet for that but...

here we go

"I do find it very interesting that Drew is there, don't you? Dice are in the kitchen drawer. See you later tonight" and with that she hung up

Damn it

I hung my head. Well, they know now, so if they can offer help, I'll take it.

After rummaging through a couple drawers in the kitchen I found the dice.

"Okay I got the dice Drew"

I tossed them down on the coffee table

"Paper and a pen?" He asked

"We can't just play?"

"No way, everything is a competition" he looks very serious making me laugh

"Oh my god really?" I went over to the same drawer and got out a pad of paper and a pen" here big baby" I teased him and tossed it down.

"Okay 10,000, you know how to play?"

I just raised my eyebrow at him and rolled, pulling out three dice, all fives

"Yep"

—————

We were in a very close game when I heard the rumble of a couple bikes, making my stomach wrench.

Drew and I both looked over to the door and stood up.

He put me behind me, maybe he thought it was a different club. It wasn't, I could hear Cole talking and laughing.

I opened the door and my heart pounded when I made eye contact with him. Ghost was with him, nobody else.

"Heard you have a problem?" He said with a smile, as he pulled the gloves off his hands, walking up the steps his eyes never left me and as he got closer, they ran down the length of of body and back up.

That look alone gave me goosebumps

"Hi darlin, I'm here to help" Cole said with his signature smirk

"Calm down Prince Charming, I'm here too" Ghost piped up next to us

I was still looking at Cole. Something unspoken was being said between us and it made my body ignite.

"Come in" I said and turned sideways letting Ghost pass me, going in the house first.

Cole stepped up slowly to me. It was just the two of us, standing in the quiet of the night on the porch. I thought he might be able to hear my heart pounding in my chest.

His big warm hands took me by the hips, my skin tingled where he touched it.

Danger Danger

When he pulled me close, my mind went blank and I closed my eyes.

His lips felt like they were freeing me, from every problem I had. There was a direct line from the lips on my face to the lips between my legs because his kiss sent sparks and tingles right between my legs, making me whimper into his kiss.

I'm fuckin weak. I hate myself for that

"Tell me everything that's going on so I can figure this shit out and then...well then" he stopped talking and kissed my jaw. My hands went into his hair, pulling it hard, as I pulled him against me. His hands went to my butt, that was probably hanging out a little in these shorts, and squeezed hard giving me a feeling of pleasure and pain from his rough yet soft hands. "Cole" I breathlessly panted out

"Mmmmmm" he let out a long groan of annoyance

"Right, come on, tell me who this fucker is" he told me putting an arm around my back and guiding me into the living room.

After I got Cole and Ghost a beer, I walked over to the couch, handing them their beers "here ya go" I said to both of them

"Thanks Darlin" they said at the said time, making me shake my head that they call every female Darlin"

I took a seat in the wingback across from them

"Well, um-where do I start?" I couldn't look at Cole telling him all this. I just gave him the immediate danger, not every wound Ryan gave me.

"My senior year in college I was cramming hard for my finals and a friend of mine told me where I could get some pills to keep me up to study, that's how I met Ryan. We started dating and for a year he was okay. He was a low level dealer then, just dealing to the college kids but after that first year he got into some heavy shit. The people he got involved with were dangerous so he started getting really weird with me. I couldn't go to the store without him thinking I was cheating. One time, when he was strung out, he tied me up naked to a chair in his basement for three days because he thought I was going to run. He beat me the whole time. When he finally passed out, I was able to get away. That was the first time I ran, it wasn't the last" my voice was shaking and tears slowly rolled down my cheeks

"If he catches me this time, he will kill me"

Cole stood up and walked over to me "Come with me" his voice was low and gentle as he held his hand out to me and I took it.

He lead me out back by the pool and sat down in the lounger with his legs extended and patted his lap "come here"

I kicked my leg over him and straddled his lap as I sat down gently on his lap. Comfort He didn't say anything, he just put his arms around me, laying my head on his chest. I could feel his heartbeat steady and quick as I wrapped my arms around his torso.

"He won't touch you baby. You didn't have me or the club on your side. We protect our friends. Lana is our friend, which make you a friend of the club" I believed everything he said.

"Cole?" I lifted off of him to look at him

"I don't want to involve you though. I don't want you to get hurt. You don't even know me and Ryan is crazy" I tell him truly terrified of Ryan

"I know you intimately babydoll and I'm a badass motherfucker" he gives me a sexy smile, making me smile "the club and I, we will protect you"

I needed his lips like my body needed oxygen. I leaned in capturing his lips. His soft, sensuous lips, that made me weak in the knees.

A fire burned in my belly for him like it's never burned for anyone before. My hips started moving in their own. Back and forth over the big bulge in his jeans that just made me more excited knowing how he felt inside me, filling me up and I wanted him. His sexy grunts and moans were driving me crazy with desire. His hands caressed my body so gently, which made no sense by looking at him.

I heard a throat clear "Cole, sorry but your old man is lookin for you" Ghost said from the back door

Cole groaned and closed his eyes putting his head back.

"I gotta take care of something. I'm gonna leave the Prospect and Ghost here with you and I'll be back soon, we will come up with a plan" he stroked my bare thighs "before I leave I want your number and I want you to put mine in your phone and if anything happens, you call me whenever okay" he was using his authority voice

"I will"

He gave me another quick kiss and patted my butt to get to get off his lap "hop off baby I gotta go"

Once we got into the house, Cole talked to Ghost and Drew alone then came back over to me "get your phone"

I went and grabbed it and handed it to him. He entered his number and text himself from my phone so he'd have my number.

When he handed it back to me he held on to my hand and reeled me into him, his hands falling to my waist like it's a habit

"do you know what I've been thinking of all day?"

"What?" I asked softly

He laughed a dark laugh and patted his jeans pocket

"Oh my god" I laugh and pull him to me "wait until you see what I got today" I tease him whispering into his ear

"Oh yeah, what did-No, I gotta go you vixen" his lips fell to my neck giving me soft kisses "show me later?" He asks against my skin, his deep voice vibrating through my body.

"If you're lucky" I tell him with a sexual tone.

He throws he head back and laughs a throaty laugh going down the steps to his bike, throwing his leg over and getting on and starting it up.

I watched him back up and drive off until I couldn't see him or hear him anymore, already wanting him to come back.

I'm so fucked

This is going to end so badly
