going to kill him. Don ’ t
lie to me either. If Trent hadn ’ t
been there …”
    “ Yes, ” I whispered.
    “ I ’ ll be honest, ” Trev said. “ You shouldn ’ t be living right now. The
message back to your friends should be your body. But since Trent put up a hell
of a fight for your safety and my assumption you ’ ll
do what is needed, I ’ m
going to compromise. ” Trev looked at Trent. “ I
want you both out of here. Take her to your place. Let Duke drink it off and we ’ ll catch up tomorrow. ”
    “ That ’ s smart, ” Trent said. “ If Rocco plans an attack,
he ’ ll come here
looking for her. ”
    “ I ’ ll have prospects watch
you, ” Jasper said.
    “ I
don ’ t need fucking
protection, ” Trent
said.
    “ Yes
you do, ” Trev said. “ Now get your shit and get
out of here. ”
    Trev and Jasper walked toward the
door.
    I called out, “ Thank you. ”
    Trev stopped and looked back. “ Don ’ t thank me. Thank Trent. Know that right now
your ultimate fate is to die. You have no idea the war you ’ ve stepped into. ”
    They left the room and Trent
crouched down in front of me.
    “ We
better get out of here, ” he said.
    “ This
isn ’ t fair to you.
This is your clubhouse. It ’ s
where you ’ re safe. I ’ ll just go. Or just let
them kill me. It ’ s
probably better off that way. ”
    Trent ’ s
hand shot out and touched my cheek. “ No,
darling, it ’ s not
better off that way. I need to get out of here anyway. If Duke and I go eye to
eye again, one of us is going to end up dead. ”
    “ So
you really are a monster, huh? ” I asked, forcing myself to grin, to lessen the tension.
    Trent stood up and looked eighty
feet tall. But his sexy eyes seemed like they were inches from my face.
    Then he spoke.
    “ Darling … we ’ re all monsters. ”

    Trent ’ s
place was pretty surprising for a bad ass biker guy. It was clean, put
together, yet it had a little bit of a tough manly smell to it. He shut the
door and locked all three locks on the door.
    “ Stay
away from the windows, ” he said, “ Just in
case we get attacked. ”
    How soothing.
    He tossed my bag onto the table and
then opened the fridge and offered me a beer. I took it, figuring a beer or ten
couldn ’ t hurt
anything.
    “ I
brought us a drink back at the clubhouse but that got all messed up. ”
    “ What ’ s with Duke? ” I asked. “ I mean, I know he was mad
about me …”
    “ He
did two tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. When he saw the towers fall he was riding
with his first outlaw club. It wasn ’ t
the life he wanted so he went to fight a greater enemy. He was never the same
again. That ’ s all I ’ m going to say. ”
    I swallowed a lump of guilt. I had
come that close to killing a man who had been fighting for my freedom? A man who
returned to his country confused, hurt, and wanting the life of freedom and
fighting enemies.
    I drank half the beer in silence
and then grabbed my bag. “ Do
you mind if I take a shower? ”
    “ Down
the hall, second door on the right, ” Trent said.
    Then he turned around. It looked
like he was in pain or just angry about something.
    I walked down the hall and entered
the bathroom. I shut the door and locked it. Looking in the mirror, I looked
like eight shades of hell had washed over my face. I was still in those tight,
stupid clothes from the gambling thing. I grabbed for the bottom of my shirt
and lifted it over my head. It felt so good to get that shirt off. Next came
the pants. I had to wiggle and wrestle out of them they were so freaking tight
to my body. I slipped out of my panties and then reached back and unsnapped my
bra. I was then naked, in Trent ’ s
bathroom.
    I sidestepped and turned on the
water. Bending slightly, I looked at my full breasts as they just dangled there
in front of me. When the water got hot, I turned on the shower and started to
step inside. Then I stopped and glanced back to the bathroom door. My mind
started to
