Chapter Seven

    When I wake up, I am sore in all the right places. Holy fuck. Gunner surely knows how to rock a girl ’ s world. His body is cut and I can't get the sight of his muscles rippling as he pounded into me out of my mind. With a grin on my face, I make my way out of my room to see how Anslie is doing. Searching the whole apartment, I come up with nothing. Some of her stuff is missing, so I pull my phone out and text her. Maybe she's already out with Brant this morning.
    When she finally texts me back, I feel like I got the wind knocked out of me. Why would someone shoot Robbie? I feel like someone just shot my own brother.
    The last few years, I got really close to Anslie and her brothers, since they were always around. I want nothing more than to be with her, but I know her brothers will keep her safe. Waiting to hear how Robbie is, is terrible. I just wished someone would tell me. I try to text Anslie to find out, but she never responds.
    I spend most of the afternoon in my room reading about my new book boyfriend, Carter Reed. I swear, Tijan is amazing and I am absolutely in love with Carter.
    Halfway through the book, my phone beeps. Checking it, my face breaks out in a huge grin. Gunner. I laugh at the name he must have programmed for his contact while I was asleep.
    Sexy Biker: Beauty, I want to be buried in your pussy right now.
    Me: That can be arranged ;).
    Sexy Biker: I ’ m on my way.
    Once I read his message, I jump up to get ready. When I get out of the shower, I hear a knock on the door. I run to the door in just a towel, my wet hair dripping down my body. I open the door and come face-to-face with Mike. I've known him since we first moved out to Seattle and, honestly, he creeps me out. He always hits on me and I always turn him down. I wonder why he's even here?
    His eyes roam my body. "Wow, baby. You look fucking fantastic, ” he says, moving towards me.
    I try to close the door on him, but his boot gets in the way before I can. He pushes it open with little effort and I fall back a little. My towel almost comes undone and he starts licking his lips. ” What ’ s wrong, baby? You too good to give it up to me? ”
    “ Stay away from me!" I yell. I ’ m hoping I can get the attention of one of my neighbors.
    "Who the fuck are you?" I hear Gunner say through gritted teeth. Thank God!
    Without looking at Gunner, Mike replies, "Don ’ t fucking worry about it. Mind your own business and get the fuck out of here."
    I watch Gunner make two quick strides to Mike and grab him by the back of his neck. Struggling, Mike turns, seeing a very pissed Gunner. Mike is a good six inches shorter than he is and nowhere near as built. I see Mike's eye widen for a fraction of a minute. "Get the fuck away from her. If I ever hear that you came near her again, I will fucking gut you." Gunner's expression is lethal, and I ’ m scared myself. I've never seen anyone so angry before. Mike eyes his cut before making his way to the door.
    Running up to Gunner, I wrap my arms around him, tears welling up in my eyes. I never thought someone would come to the apartment and try something like that.
    Gunner wraps his arms around me and shuts the door. Once the lock is in place, he picks me up and carries me to my room.
    Setting me on the bed, he drops to his knees and takes my face in his hands. "You all right, beauty? ” he asks gently. I shake my head and pull him closer to me. I breathe in his masculine scent and my body relaxes. He lays me down on the bed and gently kisses me. Leaning over my body, his eyes roam the length of me. "Beauty, no answering the door looking like this unless it's me, ” he says with a serious tone.
    "I thought it was you. I should have checked. I'm so glad you showed up when you did."
    Pulling his face to mine, I kiss him softly, running my fingers through his dirty blonde hair and pulling it just hard enough to make him moan. He holds his body up
