other’s areas. There was a chance that things could go south anyway, that we’d end up losing our asses, but there was also the chance that things could go our way. If the Berserkers continued to do their deals—illegal or otherwise—then we’d get a piece of any of that that happened in our designated territory. Likewise, if we did deals on their turf, we paid a small fee to them. Since we were far less likely to be dealing in the more illegal—and admittedly profitable—side of the law, we stood to earn a lot more money from it, but they got territory out of the deal. We’d have to give up some of ours so there’d be a fifty-fifty split, but I wasn’t worried about territory. What was the point if there wasn’t a club left to do a damn thing with it?
     
    There wasn’t any kind of guarantee that this would work and in my gut I couldn’t make myself trust the Berserkers, but what choice did I have? I had to do something and I was all out of ideas these days.
     
    “He’d better,” Specter muttered as we headed towards our bikes. We’d be the last two to leave and we wouldn’t be going home.
     
    I thought of Charlotte waiting for me. I thought of the things I’d rather be doing with her and to her, but business had to come first tonight. Still, I hoped that she’d call. That she’d tell me she was okay and we were okay and everything was okay.
     
    I pulled my phone out of my pocket and checked it again, but there were no missed calls. I couldn’t help my frown, but resisted the sigh I wanted to send along with it. Resolving to at least let her know what was going on, even if she wasn’t in the mood to return the courtesy, I sent her a quick text.
     
    Business tonight. Be home late. Don’t wait up.
     
    I put my phone back into my pocket and when Specter handed me the pistol, I took it easily, tucking it safely away in the back of my jeans. I hoped we wouldn’t need it tonight, but I wasn’t going in there unprepared.
     
    Slinging my leg over the side of the bike, I nodded towards Specter. He’d follow me down the hill and back into town, then we’d head over to the industrial district. No one would be around this time of night and that place especially didn’t have a lot of traffic.
     
    I revved up my bike and we headed out of there. I tried not to think of the cold metal pressed against the skin of my back and I tried not to think about how Charlotte had left that night. Instead, I did my best to focus on the dark road and the cool night and the rumbling sound of my bike filling my ears.
     
    This would all be over soon.

    I pulled up into the driveway and turned off the engine, but I didn’t go inside right away. I just sat in my car and stared at the dark house. There weren’t any lights on inside, so I guessed my mother was already in bed. Probably, I should have just gone home, but I wasn’t ready to deal with Johnny and all the shifting emotions between us. The violence of that night clung to me still and I needed to soothe it away before I faced Johnny, because I wasn’t sure how I’d react to the excitement in his eyes when we were alone together.
     
    Would I do the same as I always did, just fall into bed with him, spread my legs, and let him fuck me until I screamed his name?
     
    Probably. That was the thing about me and Johnny, we’d been together so long and the love between us still wouldn’t go away. The passion wouldn’t either. Every time Johnny slid into me, it was like the first time, but so much better than the first time. I didn’t care where we did it or from what angle; didn’t care if he was rough or demanding or sweet and slow. I didn’t care, because so long as he was touching me, things couldn’t be bad.
     
    Which was why I needed to put some distance between myself and him before I went home. I needed to think clearly and I wouldn’t be able to do that on a night like tonight.
     
    My phone buzzed and I
