almost had to get an Emergency Protective Order out on her. It was scary shit. Ask Bianca if she can help us. I’m willing to bet if it’s going on, it’s the worst kept secret at that school.”
    This hadn’t been what Liam expected at all. He hadn’t brought the two of them out here to get Rooster to volunteer to do a club job for them, but he appreciated it all the same and wouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth. “I would really appreciate if you would do that. I don’t want to tell Denise anything until I have concrete evidence. She’s already not sure about letting him be on that football team because she doesn’t want him aggressive. That’s all she needs to hear is that he’s going to be even more so ’cause he’s using a performance enhancer. I’ll talk to Jagger and see what Bianca needs to get you in there, I might even have a talk with her about what she’s seen and heard.”
    “What are you gonna do if he is?” Tyler asked. He hated to even think that. He and Drew had grown very close since they had been working out together. Tyler treated him like an equal, not like a teenager. If Drew was doing this, and to him it was still a big if, he was going to be disappointed and scared. What if Drew’s genetic profile predisposed him to addiction? He didn’t want to think about that at all.
    “We’ll deal with it, if he is. Whatever way we need to. We’ve all done stupid shit, and like we’ve all said, he’s a teenage boy. Look at what we all did as teenagers.”
    Rooster cleared his throat. “Real freakin’ bad example. You were in juvie, he was in an orphanage, and I was in a camp for wayward teens. That boy upstairs has had a good life since he started calling you ‘dad’. There’s no reason he should throw it all away just because he wants to get bigger muscles. If he is doing that we’ll beat some sense into him and make sure he knows what the side effects are and what the consequences are.”
    That was the way real parents did the job, Liam had to remind himself. They didn’t take care of their child’s problem; they disciplined and made sure that the child was aware that they had done wrong. That was something that had never been shown to him, he was always talked down to and never shown the right way. He wanted nothing more than to prove to Drew that there was a right way to do things and you didn’t always have to be the disappointment. “First, let’s figure out what the fuck is going on there. Rooster, let me know what you need to get in. I’ll talk to Bianca, but she might need to share a few things with you, hopefully she can get you past Stacey. I know you’re kinda scared of Stacey,” he snickered.
    “That woman told the waiter at the restaurant we went to that her name was Mrs. Brandon Hancock and then signed the ticket that way. I am in no way doing anything with that woman unless I have to.” Rooster slammed his hand down on the table.
    “Just remember that if you do have to do something with her, it’s for the sake of my son.” Liam threw him a shit-eating grin.
    “Laugh it up, you two. Payback’s a bitch. Just remember that if I do have to get close to that little piranha.”

Chapter Six

    R oni sat down on her couch and breathed a sigh of relief. It had been Rooster’s first day at the shop and she’d been on edge for most of it. Every time he walked towards the office, her body tensed up and her stomach rolled. It wasn’t that she was afraid of him, she was afraid of herself. After he’d cornered her the night before, she’d not been able to do anything but think about him. How they’d been during the summer they’d spent together. It hadn’t mattered to either one of them that she was older than him by a few years, all that mattered was the animal magnetism they had for one another.
    “C’mon, Liam’s asleep,” Rooster whispered.
    Roni couldn’t believe that he’d conned her brother into letting him sleep over, just so he could spend
