Chapter 24 - Hot and cold

The last two weeks have passed by with me sitting on a big, fluffy love cloud. I spend my days at the compound helping Boulder with the books and cooking. After being here for a few days I walked in on Boulder cursing at the books, he clearly had some troubles with the club's finances. I offered my help, at first he didn't like the idea of getting me involved, but he quickly saw that he needed my help. From that moment on I checked every order and every penny the club had earned and spend. I am giving Ranger and Rover advice on prices, stock and quantities. Guess having a lazy summer job at an accounting firm finally paid off. 

And so far they have really gained money based on my advice. The club wasn't doing so well, but in the two weeks I am helping them out with the books we actually were able to make a bit of profit. Even though I hated the summer job, this is actually quiet fun. Ranger and Rover inform me on their business decision and they listen to my advice. I am really glad that I listened to Rover and decided to give my father a chance.

I have spent each night in Rovers arm, he never pushed me once and that made me decide I am ready and I want it to be him. Rover has been busy the last couple of days, there's a big event at the compound tonight. All MC's from this part of the country gather tonight in a big festive event, hosted by the Silent Riders. 

Aimee took me shopping yesterday cause according to here, everybody will be dressed to the nines. We are eating dinner together in the kitchen as Rover walks in. "Hi Handsome." I say. "It's Rover." He answers stern. I look baffled at him. "Why are you being this rude?" Aimee asks him. "Stay out of it. This is between me and Alex." Rover answers her. 

I stand up and put my plate in the sink. If he is acting like an asshole, then I will treat him like one. "Fuck you, Rover." I say. "Aimee get out." Rover commands. He grabs my wrist as I pass him by. "Let go off me." I say. He isn't listening and pushes me against the counter. His lips come crashing down on mine. His kiss is hot and heavy and I almost melt in his arms. I can feel him getting hard and right now that turns me on even more. 

I need to focus, I was mad at how he reacted. He pushes me up on the counter top and I straddle his waist. He pulls my legs tighter around his back so that I can feel everything. He breaks the kiss and looks me in the eyes, he looks so vulnerable right now and it breaks my heart. 

"I am fucking scared of losing you." He whispers. "You have a strange way of showing it." "You need to hold some distance tonight, got it." He looks right in my eyes. "As long as we sleep together tonight I think I can manage." I answer. "It's an order Alex" He says.

And with that he walks out. I am completely in shock. He goes from hot too cold in a second. I feel tears welling up in my eyes and I run back to my room. I need to calm down, I need to think. I jump in the shower and let the hot water run over my body. 

As I walk out of my bathroom there's a soft knock at my door. I wrap a towel around myself and walk over towards the door. "Baby girl, can we talk." I hear Ranger's voice from the other side. I open the door and let Ranger in. He presses a kiss on my cheek as he walks in. "You may have noticed that we are all a bit on edge, specially Rover." Ranger starts. "yeah I noticed." "Don't blame him doll." He says. He wraps his arms around me and we sit together on my bed. "Rovers parents were killed and so he is scared to death that everybody he loves he will lose." "But I am right here." I answer. "Yeah Lex I know. But you haven't our tattoo yet." Ranger answers me. "What does that mean?" "Every man in this club knows you are Rovers girl. But the other MC's will see you as available since you haven't the tattoo yet." He says as he stares away from me. I look at my father. "Why didn't Rover asked me too?" "Because he doesn't want to push you, he wants to wait until you're ready." Ranger answers. 

"What does that mean for tonight?" "A lot of men will be hitting on you and Rover can't do shit about it." He says. I look at my hands and fiddle with my towel. "And there's something else. Rover was in a really dark place, he did some really dangerous shit. And there are a lot of people who want to hurt him. So if they know that he cares about you, they will come for you. Especially now without the tattoo they think you're an easy target." Ranger says. I can feel a tear rolling down my face, do I need to be worried? "Thanks dad." He hugs me so tight that it almost hurt. "Don't thank me. I am sorry you got dragged into this. I won't let anything happen to you and neither will Rover. Give him some space tonight." "I will." I answer. "Try to stay with someone of the club at all times, preferably me, Boulder or Wolf. When you're with him everybody can see that you two are madly in love." Ranger says.

As Ranger walks out Aimee walks in and I smile at her. She is wearing a beautiful dress. "I can't believe that piece of shit." Aimee curses as we are alone. I snicker at her. "Now get your ass over here. Tonight we are going to let him crawl and beg." She responds with a wicked smile. "Aimee, Ranger explained me everything." "Yeah, Wolf did to, but there was nobody in the kitchen with us so he had no reason to act the way he did." She says. "He needs to know what he will be missing and I intend to show him." She answers me. 

She works my hair with a curling iron and she takes her time to put my makeup on. She hands me a box of contacts. "Those glasses are staying in tonight." As I put on the dress, Aimee sighs and says; "I think we did it." I look in the mirror and stare at myself. Two beautiful smokey eyes are looking back at me. If you would hold the photo of my prom next to my reflection you would think that it's not the same girl. I look nothing like her, I look confident and so damn sexy. "Thanks Aimee." I hug her tight. "You are becoming a real friend." I say. "I know hon, you too."
