Oh, I should have seen that one coming. Leah and Daisy used to be pretty good friends, but ever since Leah and Preach started hooking up, they haven’t gotten along. “She’s jealous of you.”
She looks at me as if I’m an idiot. “There’s not one damn thing about me that anyone would be jealous of.”
I shake my head at her stupidity. She’s a tiny thing, barely reaching five foot. I doubt she weighs much over a hundred pounds. She has blonde hair that’s so light, it almost looks white. It’s cut in a cute pixie style and shows off her high cheekbones and the two sweetest deep dimples that you’ve ever seen. The girl is knockout. “You’re a beautiful girl, Daisy.”
She shrugs then shoots me a smug smile. “Enough about me, let’s talk about you. What’s this I hear about you and Kidd? Did he really make you his old lady?”
I shrug back at her. “You know how the boys work. When they want something, they take it. For some reason, Kidd wants me now. I’m sure he’ll get tired of me before too long.”
Even saying that shit out loud kills me. After all these years of trying to avoid him, one kiss was all it took and I was his again. I’m fighting it, but I can feel my heart melting for him. The Ice Queen is finally starting to thaw out.
“I don’t know, Ice. I don’t think Kidd will ever get tired of you. He loves you too much.”
I cut my eyes to her. “He doesn’t love me. He just likes playing games with me.”#p#分页标题#e#
I have never told Daisy about all the shit that happened between me and Kidd, but she knows. Everyone does. It’s practically club lore.
Daisy shakes her head. “I don’t know Kidd all that well, and you know Mom kept me away from the guys in the club when I was growing up, but I know that he loves you something fierce. Shit, girl, everyone knows he loves you. He’s never tried to hide it.”
“What are talking about? If he loves me, then why is he with a different girl every night? Why did he treat me like shit when he got his chance with me?”
Her eyes go sad before she replies, “I can’t answer that for you. No one but Kidd can. I will say that I think you should give the two of you a second chance. Not for Kidd, but for yourself.”
I snort. “For myself? Why the hell would I do that?”
“Because you love him. If you don’t give it a chance, then you’ll spend the rest of your life wondering what if...”
Shit! Why does she have to be so smart and say the things that I’ve been thinking about out loud? I know she’s right. I need to give it a chance. I’ve been running from him so long, and I’m not sure I know how to make this thing between us work, but I love him too much just to walk away without trying.
“I’m not talking about that shit anymore.”
She rolls her eyes. “Fine, then what do you want to do?”
A smile spreads across my face, and I say, “Let’s go get drunk.”
A half hour later, Daisy and I are sitting at the club house bar, downing shots of tequila, when I hear a commotion in the front of the club. I turn to look just in time to watch Timber walk into the common room, and a big smile spreads across my face. “Finally home, huh?”
His head jerks towards mine and he shoots me one of his panty dropping smiles. He doesn’t respond, but instead rushes towards me and pulls me into his body. Before I realize what’s happening, he crushes his lips onto mine. Shit! I know I should be pulling away, but Timber is so aggressive, so powerful, that I forget myself for a moment and get lost in the feeling of his lips on mine.
I’ve really missed Timber. If Kidd hadn’t have claimed me, I’d be hauling him to my bedroom right about now and showing him how much. He’s sexy as hell, great in the sack, and fun to be around. When he went away, Reese and I got closer, but I never forgot Timber. Timber is the only man I would have ever considered becoming an old lady for. He’s asked me a million times, and I was right on the verge of giving in to him before he went to prison.
Ever so slowly, he pulls back. “It’s good to be home, pretty girl.”
“Be a damn shame for you die as soon as you get here, and that’s exactly what’s going to happen if you don’t take your hands off my old lady.”
I turn my head just in time to see Kidd walking into the room. “He didn’t know that you claimed me, so you better not lay a damn hand on him, Kidd. I mean it!”
