Page 14 of Dangerous Attraction

My gaze skates down her body, watching as she pulls her cardigan closed. It covers the small top she's wearing beneath but reveals more of the denim shorts that are plastered to her wide hips and thick thighs.

"Trix. This is Reeve, my brother."

Liam's voice interrupts my perusal, and I snap my gaze back to the woman's face.

She slowly drags her eyes to mine, and we both stare at each other for a few moments, silent tension forming between us.

"Well, I'm not sure why I expected more from the two of you," Liam says, throwing an arm around Trix. "Emery's probably waiting for us, so we should go."

Trix nods, her eyes flicking away from mine as she steps out from my brothers hold and makes her way toward the double doors.

Liam clamps his hand on my shoulder, then steps away from the booth.

"I'll see you soon."

"Don't come back here without giving me a heads-up next time," I grunt. "You know you're not meant to be here, and I won't let her change that."

He huffs, sliding his hands into his jean pockets.

"I'm not gonna be stupid. As long as you look out for her, I won't need to be here, and I'll stick to only seeing you when dad's out of town."

Watching them leave, I turn in my seat, my eyes moving to the window over my shoulder, and I watch intently as Liam slings his arm around Trix again, then pulls her into his side as they walk down the steps toward his car.

He presses a kiss to the top of her head before letting go, and I narrow my eyes, tracking her movements as she climbs into the passenger side.

"Who knew Baby Bishop surrounded himself with such beautiful women?" Luxe says, leaning over the booth and staring out the window with me.

I watch in silence as my brother's car drives away, and I sigh when he disappears from view.

"He's brave to bring her here," Luxe chimes when I turn back around, no longer interested in what's happening outside. "Everyone's already extremely curious about her, and I don't blame them."

Bristling at his words, my eyes cut to the booths in front of me, filled with the other members of the club. My jaw clenches, teeth grinding as I watch them all talking and laughing.

The thought of some of the guys being overly friendly with her has anger flaring inside my chest. I grimace, disturbed by my own thoughts and feelings.

Trix

"I don't think your brother likes me very much," I tell Liam as he walks out onto the small wooden porch where I've been waiting for him.

He tucks me into his side, then leads us down the steps.

"Reeve doesn't seem to like anyone," he mutters. "But he's good people. Most of the guys here are."

He presses a kiss to the top of my head, then moves away as we reach the car.

"How did things go with Honey?"

A smile tugs at my lips.

"She's really nice," I say, opening the passenger side door and hopping into the car. "She showed me the kitchen, and the communal area upstairs. Pointed out I'd also need to clean the main bar area too."

"So, you'll be cleaning and pouring drinks then?" he asks as he pulls away from the clubhouse.

I nod. "Pretty much. Oh, and making food on occasion if I need to. It doesn't really seem like I'll be doing much at all."

"Did you talk about what they'll be paying you?"
