Changing Lanes (Devil's Knights 2nd Generation 4)

Five minutes later, I was dressed and standing next to my bike.

“Damn,” Princeton called. “Did you actually get somewhere with Bristol?”

I threw my leg over my bike. “I guess I got lucky.”

Princeton moved from the shadows and folded his arms over his chest. “Or she knocked you the fuck out and you just came to,” he laughed.

She had knocked me out in the sense that I didn’t know what way was up when I left her bed. Each time the truth of who I was and what she was blared loudly in front of m

y face.

I laughed and shook my head. “You’re far from the truth, brother.”

“Is this going to be a usual thing now?” he asked.

I grabbed my helmet and put it on. “Uh, probably not. I doubt Bristol is going to want me anymore.”

Princeton tipped his head to the side. “You hurt her?” he asked.

“Again, you’re far from the truth, Princeton.” If anything, I was going to be the one to get hurt in the end if I didn’t stop seeing Bristol.

“You know she’s not one of your club girls, right?”

“I know,” I called. That truth was always staring me in the face.

“You say you know that, but it seems like you’re treating her just like one.”

He was right. She deserved more than me sneaking in and out of her bed at night.

I cranked up my bike and nodded to Princeton. “Don’t worry. You won’t be seeing me around her anymore.”

This had to end. I wasn’t good enough for her, and I was just torturing myself.

Princeton eyed me warily. “We’ll see about that.”

The drive back to the clubhouse was peaceful and quiet. Rockton was pretty dead at three in the morning, and it just gave me more time to torture myself by thinking of Bristol.

I had enough going on in my life right now. Adding Bristol to it was too much. I needed to focus on the club and not Bristol’s sweet kiss and lush body.

Tonight was the last night I would spend with her.

I turned into the clubhouse and killed the engine.

It needed to stop before I got in too deep.

The thing of it was, I was already in too deep, and it hurt like hell knowing Bristol wasn’t going to be mine. There were better things out there for her, and I wasn’t one of them.

Chapter Ten

Settle for chocolate…

Bristol

He was gone.

While he normally stayed the night and left in the morning, this time, he didn’t even wait ‘til the sun rose to hightail it out of here.
