And her gray eyes.
So beautiful.
“We kind of…hid you.”
She tilted her head. “How?”
At least she didn’t ask why.
We both knew why she needed to be hidden.
“When you left and sold your house, Apollo was able to hide your trail. No one knows you’re here. The person that loaned you the truck was a club brother. He was with the Little Rock Dixie Wardens Chapter.”
She blinked.
“Your new ID was from one of our guys, too. So it’s very solid.”
She shook her head. “Is that why it says Sage Ryan instead of Sage Kelly like I told him?”
I nodded.
“And that’s why this long-term RV reservation is under Sage Ryan?”
“Yes,” I confirmed.
“What about my travel nursing paperwork?” I asked. “I did it under my married name.”
“All changed, hidden, and secure. You’re free.”
She shook her head. “I like that you think that I am…but I’m not. I’ll never be free of them. It’s only a matter of time.”
The look of disappointment that went through her had me reaching for her hand.
She snatched it back before I could touch her.
My stomach sank.
“You’ll never have to worry about Dario O’Neal, Sean O’Sullivan, your brother or father ever again. That I can promise you.”
She shrugged. “You may think that but…”
“This town is protected by the Dixie Wardens MC, Sage,” I said. “You live your life, and we’ll keep making it safe for you to live it.”
She looked like she was afraid to hope.
“And what about us?” she asked.
“What do you mean?”
“Are we still married?” she wondered. “How does this spin in your made-up world?”
“To everyone on the outside, you’re my ex-wife,” I explained. “Only the club brothers and their spouses know the real information.”
She shook her head. “Are you telling me that there are people out there that know my life story? Know everything?”
The anger that I saw in her eyes was something else.
Sexy as hell and captivating.
