“Maybe because you enjoy fucking her a little more than you anticipated,” Jett snaps.
“Fuckyou!” I jump up from my seat, my chair crashing backwards to the floor as I grip Jett’s collar and drag him across the mahogany table.
Myles rises from his seat as the rest of the guys disperse, backing away from the table. “Killian. Jett. Cool off!”
Jett grins and my anger grows. “I’m right, aren’t I? Typical Killian letting his dick do the thinking.”
“Shut your fucking mouth. You have no fucking idea,” I spit.
“So what? Killian Hunt finally decided to grow a conscience?”
“What the fuck do you want me to say? That the thought of betraying her like that,degradingher doesn’t makes me sick to my stomach? ‘Cause it does. Every time I look at her, every time she smiles at me like I’m the guy who hung the fucking moon, the guilt eats me up from the inside out. You want me to admit that this whole plan I came up with has blown upin my fucking face? Because it has! I’m damned if I do and I’m damned if I don’t. Either way, I let one of you down. Her or the club. And I chooseher.”
Jett’s eyebrows shoot up. “You’d choose her over us?”
“Everything I’ve done has been for this club! I owe Myles and this club my life and I love every single one of you like family but there isnothingI wouldn’t do for her.Nothing.” I’ve said too much.
Jett studies me for a moment. “You love her,” he breathes out, his expression softening. It’s not a question because he already knows the answer.
My grip on his shirt loosens. “Yes.”
There’s a long pause, my confession hanging in the air, the silence deafening as Jett’s eyes flick between mine.
His mouth stretches into a smile, and he laughs. “Well,fuck me, it’s about damn time.”
I release his shirt, taking a step back. “What?”
“Do you think we’re all so blind we don’t see it?”
“Kill, man. You forget we know you so well,” Cruiser adds.
“We’ve known how you feel about her for a while, bro. Seems it’s been obvious to everyone except you,” Alex says from the other end of the table.
“You just needed a little nudge,” Myles says.
My eyes ping pong between all of them.
What the fuck is happening?
“You’re telling me you did all this to get me to confess that I love her?”
Jett shrugs with a smirk. “You’re a stubborn bastard, you sure as hell weren’t gonna do it on your own.”
Ray’s hand lands on my shoulder. “Gotta say, I never thought I’d see the day you got yourself a girl. But I’m happyfor you, kid. She’s a good one.” Ray gives me a wink.
I smile. “Yeah, she is.”
“Does she know how you feel?” Myles asks.
I shake my head. “No.”
“Then I suggest you lock that shit down pronto, bro,” Cru says.
“Hell, you two getting serious is the biggest‘fuck you’to her dad!” Jett’s grin is wide.
“You’re not mad?”
Myles sighs. “Kill, how could we be mad? We’re your brothers. We’re happy if you’re happy. And you look pretty fucking happy to me.”
