Dreamy, my ass. He just wears the mask so well. Even I was fooled by him in the beginning.
Jude, on the other hand, is a dark horse on and off the rink. There’s a brutality in him that only attracts a certain category of people. He also doesn’t make an effort to wear a smile like Preston or a mask like Kane.
What you see is basically what you get.
Since he and the rest of the team are my next targets for the DNA hunt, I need to get closer to the team.
After that, I’ll figure out a way to influence Kane to make me an active Vencor member. Thus far, he’s shot down any of my attempts to be active in the organization.
When I tried to befriend Preston, Kane somehow managed to say the right words to make his friend lose complete interest in my company.
I knew that asshole Marcus was trouble. I should’ve never gone out with him in the first place. At the time, his last name didn’t really mean much to me, and I didn’t want to believe the rumors floating around about him and his dark past.
Little did I know that he’s, in fact, a major psycho.
I’m not sure how Kane got that information about my dating life, and it’s made me more paranoid.
Just how much does he know about me?
How long can I fool him?
Hell, can I evenfoolhim?
With his unreadable personality and unpredictable actions, he’s the one who fools people, not the other way around.
Still, the only way to get close to the team and him is to make him trust me.
At any cost.
He did defend me the other day at Drayton’s party, so it’s not like he doesn’t care at all. It’s a good start.
Though I believe he cares more about degradation through sex. Which I cantolerate.
Liar.
My thighs clench at the thought of it. And I’m truly struggling to come to terms with the fact that I enjoy something so sick.
A loud vibrating sound echoes on the empty laboratory table and I flinch out of my thoughts.
My posture straightens when I see the text. Why does the mere sight of his name make me hyperaware?
Kane
You signed up for the motorcycle club.
Me
Yes, and? Is this another announcement of your stalkerish tendencies?
There’s no stalking involved. I’m openly watching you. And you won’t be going to the club.
Why not?
Because you’re only there for Jude, and I can see your little tricks from a mile away. Cut it out.
And if I don’t?
Then I’ll have to act on my warnings.
