Katie’s head snaps in my direction. “Tracy?”
“Ooh,” I can practically see him grimace through the phone. “Sorry about that.”
“Just,” I sigh, “keep the idiots distracted. I’ll be there as fast as I can.”
“Like ten minutes fast?” Robbie presses.
“More like 90,” I say as I get up from the bed and start searching for clothes.
“90! Where the fuck are y—”
I hang up the phone before Robbie can finish his sentence.
“Who’s Tracy?” Katie growls, looking like she could punch the head off my shoulders.
I grab my slacks and shirt from her wardrobe and quickly slip them on. “Tracy is someone I used to fuck.”
Katie’s eyes narrow to slits, her claws on show; she got stiletto tips this time—she’s going to rip my eyes out, isn’t she? And why is that thought sending my blood south?
She whips the duvet from the mattress to cover her body.
She’s jealous.
I love it.
“Bug,” I approach the bed as I button up my shirt. “She’s not important. She’s in the past. And if you keep glaring at me like that, you’re going to make me jizz in my pants because you look sexy as fuck when you’re jealous.”
Her eyes drop to my crotch, seeing that I am hard as a rockdespite the situation. “He said someone had a gun,” Her dark gaze finds mine, and I cannot help but smirk.
“Two people, both have guns.” I shrug on my jacket and adjust the collar.
“You said you don’t do drugs, Aiden,” Katie growls.
“I don’t.” I look up at her; she doesn’t believe me. Grabbing her face in my hands, I lean in close, “I promise you, Katie. I don’t do or sell drugs. You know me better than that.”
Her eyes soften but doubt still lingers. “So, you don’t do anything illegal, then?”
“I never said that.” Grabbing my keys from the locker, I continue, “But illegal doesn’t always mean wrong.”
“What do you do, Aiden?”
“You already know, bug,” I say with a smirk.
Her eyebrows move in opposite directions. “I do?”
I lean in again and kiss her before I leave. “I’ll be back tonight. Don’t wait up.”
“Wait,” I hear her call as she chases me onto the landing. “You don’t have a key.”
“That’s never stopped me before.” I wink at her before disappearing down the stairs.
“I fucking knew the door wasn’t open!” Her voice chases me from the house as I make my way to my bike.

ROBBIE
I cannot believe that rat bastard is seeing someone anddidn’t tell me about it. This is huge! Aiden doesn’t hide his conquests; he doesn’t shy away from showing what the new flavour of the month is. But this, the hiding of a new relationship, is completely out of character for him.
