nothing but a bunch of thugs. Do you really want that hanging over you while you’re trying to find your first job?”
“I’ve worked!”
“Sorry. First position with a firm, then. How do you think a big firm would react to the fact that you are a biker’s old lady? Or worse, that you are knowingly involved in illegal activities.”
“The Devils are going straight!”
“I know that. But it wasn’t always that way and people probably won’t believe it anyway. And don’t forget what we did. If something like that were to get out, even if the cops couldn’t prove it, that could make your life more difficult than it has to be.”
“What are you saying? That you’re dumping me?”
“Of course not! I’m just saying that I understand where John is coming from. The farther we can distance you from the club, the better.”
She could feel her blood running cold. “Does that include you?”
“No. I hope not, anyway. I love you, Jenny. But we have to be careful. That’s all I’m saying. Better safe than sorry and all of that stuff.”
She paused as she thought about what Asher said. “I’m not sure I like how this conversation is going.”
“What do you mean?”
“It sounds like you are planning on leaving. Remember, way back, when you said it wouldn’t work and someone was going to get hurt? Remember how you said it probably wouldn’t be you?”
“I remember. But that was before.”
“Before?”
He pulled her in close. “Before I fell in love with you.”
She relaxed slightly. “Okay, but this talk of keeping me away from the club makes me nervous. I am never sure if keeping me away includes keeping me away from you.”
“Not in this lifetime,” he said as he gave her a kiss. “You need to hit the books again. I’ll finish here and then I need to go out for a while. Can I trust you to stay in the apartment and not do something stupid?”
Her brow crinkled in curiosity. “Where’re you going?”
“I need to meet with the Bucs and the Trifectas to bring them up to speed on what is happening with the HDs. I figured I would go to them this time since they have always been coming to me.”
Jenny looked at the pile homework on the table. “Yeah. I doubt I will be going anywhere. Ever.”
He smiled as he tipped her chin up. “I have confidence in you. You’re the best law student I’ve ever fucked.”
“I better be the last law student you ever fuck,” she replied just as she tasted his lips. She was still stuffed from dinner, and she had a ton of homework to do, but she could feel that now familiar dampness forming between her legs. She used to go for weeks, sometimes months, without taking a lover, but with Asher, she wanted him all the time. If she didn’t have so damn much homework, she would be dragging him to the bedroom right now. “Go…before I get any more distracted,” she murmured as she pulled back from the kiss.
“Okay. But hold that thought until I get back.”
Asher eased to a stop beside the crotch rocket and the ricer, a small grin forming as he switched off his bike and leaned it over onto the stand. Give him a Harley over the other two any day.
“Thank you for meeting with me,” Asher said as he parked his helmet on the mirror then shook each man’s hand.
“What’s the news?” Thomas asked, cutting right to the chase. He was still wary of Asher after finding out the HDs weren’t backing their play.
“I have come clean with the Devils.”
“And?” Will asked.
“John doesn’t like that I’m sleeping with his daughter, but the club is onboard.”
“Are you sure this time?” Thomas asked.
“Yes.” Asher pulled his phone and dialed a number. “Ask John yourself,” he said as he handed the phone to Thomas.
Thomas put the phone on speaker so Will could hear, as well. “Asher?” a voice said from the
