She felt the anger start to build inside her. Stupid, infuriating man.
With her hands clenched at her sides, she closed the distance between themand stepped up close toward him. Harlow liked him, a lot. Being up close and personal with Hunter was a heady experience.
He’s a mean asshole.
Do not be attracted to this man.
He’s also best friends with your brother.
Maybe best friends was a bit of a stretch.They were club brothers.
“What do you want?” Hunter asked.
Damn it. He shouldn’t have gotten the first word in.
She pressed a finger to his lips. “No, youdon’t get to speak to me right now. I’m the one that is going to speak.” Hunter glared at her, and she shouldn’t see that as sexy, but damn it, her female parts did.
He was a good-looking man. Dangerous and sexy.
“I don’t know what I’ve done that you don’t like, but I am here for Ava. I am here for the club, and until I do something to seriously piss you off, then you don’t get to be moody with me.”
That wasn’t what she wanted to say, but she couldn’t think of anything better to say. Stupid men. Stupid, hot, sexy, dangerous Hunter.
Chapter Nine
Smokey had everything in place. The clubhouse didn’t need to have anything more added,and if they did, then it was going to be impossible for them to move. He was amazed at how well Larissa had cleaned up after everyone. The woman was a working machine.
Runninghis fingers through his hair, he got to his feet and made his way to his office doorway where he could look out over the clubhouse and see his plans working.
This wasgood. Everything was coming together.
He turned toward the main doorand watched as Abriana and Ugly Beast came into the clubhouse. Abriana looked around at the clubhouse. She was nibbling on her lip, and then Ugly Beast tapped her shoulder and nodded toward him.
Smokey waited as Abriana rushed toward him. “You have got to tell Ava, like, right now.”
He looked at Ugly Beast, who shrugged. “This is all news to me.”
“Ava thinks you’re having an affair with Harlow!”
“What?” Harlow asked, snapping out theword.
Smokey had seen that she’d been having some kind of conversation withHunter. He didn’t know what that was all about, but he made a note to keep an eye on everything.
“I’vejust been to see Ava, and she’s, she’s losing it. She thinks you’re having an affair, and she was crying, and she said that she saw the two of you hugging and all of that,” Abriana said.
Harlow burst out laughing. “She thinks Smokey and I are having an affair?”
“I’m not joking. I-I laughed. I promise. I think Ava is hurting, Smokey, and I don’t, I didn’t want to spoil this, and I promised her that you weren’t doing anything. I swore it to her.”
“No, there’s no way this is possible,” Harlow said. “Ava knows I would never do that.”
Smokey didn’t want to hear another word. Hestepped around Abriana and headed straight to the door. Once again, he had fucked up.
Damn it. Why was he always fucking up?
He rushed out of the clubhouse and went straight to his car. He wanted to get on his bike for it to be faster, but he had no choice but to use the car. He had to get to Ava.
She needed to know that he wasn’t doing this because he was cheating, but because he loved her.
