I want to knohat happened, but I can’t keep going on at her about it, though, if she doesn’t want to talk, then I can’t make her If she doesn’t want to work at that place, then she doesn’t have to She has an intervieith another coher pay She ood at what she does, she certainly s they’ll hire her so she can provide for herself I have no doubt they will she’s brilliant, and I’ of herself Believe me; I’ve met plenty of women who don’t work Not because they can’t, but because they just don’t want to Much like my mother, who never worked a day in her life I don't know; ot herself a job, a new relationship, perhaps she even had more kids and becae if they really want to So Taylor once told me
When it comes to Coral, I just wish she’d tell o over to that damn office and make the fucker she worked for tell ivethat if I cared about her at all, then I’d leave it alone
Of course, that just made ot upset and cried and toldhappened, and why couldn’t I believe her? I told her because I care about her, then she toldin trouble if I did so Could happen if I didn’t kill the cunt and he squealed like a pig to the cops I’m a biker we aren't immune to prison Truth be told, the club can do without the police on our backs right now They’d love nothing more than to lock the lot of us up or kill us, either ould be okay with them
If it weren’t for Shepard’s connections in the force half of us would be rotting in a cell soht noever, after I told him my fears that Coral’s boss may have propositioned her in so in ut just wouldn’t let up Well, let’s just say said boss had a nasty accident Pretty convincing accident too Should have got his brakes checked Coral wasn’t even shocked I could tell fro to do with it, but she never brought it up, so neither did I
Speaking of Shepard, I don’t kno er I can keep my relationship with Coral fro like this, not only to hi ht me into his family, to this day treatsto hi hi to him I couldn’t even look the man in the eye
“Jesus” His hand slides through his long, dark hair, eyes locked on s you could have done!” He yells at me as a father would, but the fact is, this man is no more than a decade older than I am
“I didn’t mean it Jesus, I tried to stay away from her Fuck, did I try”
“Not nearly hard enough! Do you have any idea what Shepard will do to you when he finds out?”
“Yes,” I fold my arms around my chest “I knohat he’ll do, Jack, but she’s worth it Fuck, she’s worth everything to me”
“Worth losin’ your place with the club for?” I nod “Worth losin’ your life for?!”
“Was Taylor worth it to you?!” I yell in retaliation Ain’t no one gonna tellthat’s to co her
BlackJack sighs audibly He’s frustrated with et it, but he knohat it’s like to be torn from the woman he loves more than life itself “Yeah, she orth it But answer irl?”
“I do Didn’t think I’d ever feel it, but I love her, Jack, with everything I am”
“Shepard is only worried about her, Stryker We were both there when she went through soh” I openabout, but he shakes his head “It ain’t my place to tell you that story, boy Only she can do that But I will tell you that Shepard would kill any irl I don’t want that man to be you”
“I would never hurt her, Jack, I love her”
His hand coht in the eye We’re both as tall as each other, so it isn’t hard to do “I won’t say anything to him, but remember that he’s my best friend and I can’t keep this secret forever Talk to Coral It’s time you both came clean about your relationship”
“I’ll talk to her tonight I'onna lie, fuckin’ hurts to think that, but it’s how I feel
“You haven’t let me down, Stryker You haven’t let anyone down You fell in love with a girl you shouldn’t have I’ve been there I kno it feels to love someone so ht for Taylor, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat if I had to Now you do the same Show Shepard what Coral means to you, and I promise you, he’ll come around”
I nod
His ar “I’m proud of you, Stryker”
I hug hihter, the only man I’ve ever allowed to touchto me to know someone is proud of me Now all I have to do is convince Coral it’s time to come clean Ready or not, we have to
“What’s going on?”
