“I want to follow Z tonight,”Kayan says as I lock up the doors to the clinic.

“Follow him where?” I ask, watching as she pulls out her keys from her bag.

“I don’t know,” she mutters then lifts her eyes to look at me. “I feel like maybe he’s cheating. He’s been hiding something,” she whispers,and I feel my eyebrows pull together.

“I don’t think Z is cheating on you.”

“Tonight, I’ll find out for sure,” she says, and I know there is no convincing her. When we were in college, she dated a guy that was cheating on her. The whole time, everyone knew except for her and me, or we didn’t know until we went to a frat party and walked in on him while he was having sex with our other roommate Lynn.

“I’ll go with you.” I tell her seeing the look on her face.

“Thank you.”

“I always have your back, even if I think you’re crazy,” I tell her.

“We’re going to have to find some way to ditch our tail.” She nods her head towards Harlen, who is sitting on his bike across the parking lot.

“Fifty Shades of Greyis coming out tonight. We will just say we’re going to watch it.”

“Perfect,” she whispers.

“Call me and we’ll make plans for the movies,” I shout loud enough for Harlen to hear.

“I can’t wait to see Fifty’s ass!” she shouts back, and I can’t help but laugh.

“So what are you guys doing tonight?” I ask Wes as I pull on my jeans.

His eyes lift from his cell phone and he looks at me. “We’re helping Jax with something then going to ride up to Nashville and check out a club Harlen found. The boys are thinking about buying it.”

“What kind of club?” I ask, pulling my hoodie out from the closet.

He pauses like he’s not going to say, and I raise a brow with my hoodie paused over my head. “Strip club.”

I nod once then pull the sweatshirt on. “You should talk to my uncle and mom. They’ve been running Teasers, now that my grandparetired.”

His head goes back like I hit him and his brows pull together. “Your uncle and mom run Teasers?”

“Yeah.”

“What the fuck?”

I smile and pull my black Converse out of the closet. “Babe, your mouth.” I laugh, tapping his chin as I sit down next to him on the bed.

“How did I not know that?” He kisses my neck.

“I guess it never came up, but I’m sure my mom and uncle would be happy to talk to you and the guys.”

“I’ll keep that in mind. So you guys are going to the movies?”

“Yes, and we don’t need a bodyguard.”

“You don’t have a bodyguard.” He shakes his head. “We’re just being cautious until we know things have quieted down.” I fight the urge to roll my eyes and just nod in agreement instead.

“Sage is going to be with you tonight,” he tells me, standing.

“Sage is helping you out now?” I ask, wondering how my Uncle Nico’s son got put up to this.

“No, Harlen heard you guys were watching some chick flick, so everyone drew straws.”
