expected that he would have some notes on the project, maybe a way for me to tweak it in order to make it better. I hadnā€™t expected for him to summarily tell me that although my work was good, there was no way in hell that the committee would grant me the scholarship.

Iā€™d called Jacinda to give her the news and sheā€™d suggested we go dancing.

ā€œLook, this sucks right?ā€ sheā€™d said. ā€œAnd maybe you feel as if all your work has been in vain. But the truth is, the fat lady hasnā€™t sung. So shake it off. Letā€™s go dancing. Tomorrow weā€™ll go in to work and make the project a thousand times more awesome. They wonā€™t be able to resist.ā€

I let Jacinda propel me along.

She came over, dressed me up, called an Uber and took me to some club in the meatpacking district. At first, I just sat at the bar, wallowing in misery while Jacinda plied me with drinks. Once the alcohol had a chance to loosen me up though, I got into the spirit of things and waded onto the dancefloor.

Bear guy pretty much pushed his way into my personal space. Any other time Iā€™d have socked him in the jaw and told him to fuck off. Tonight, I just didnā€™t have the energy to fight the patriarchy.

Having Domenic try to ā€˜rescue meā€™ did give me the strength for some sass. Now here I was, hurtling down empty dark roads without so much as a helmet, wondering how I was going to get out of this mess I put myself in.

As soon as he stops, Iā€™m taking off.

I took one hand from around his waist and felt in my pockets for my phone. I texted my brother and asked him to use his super-duper high-tech security to find me, though I figured that by the time he managed to, biker guy might have caused some damage.

I remembered a passage Iā€™d read in a book where the woman was kidnapped and she kept thinking that her job was to stay alive until her husband found her. Not to be melodramatic, but I suppose Iā€™d have to do my best to escape as much damage as possible while I waited for Morgan to rescue me.

We turned in at a bar that was brightly lit and loud. A whole slew of bikes were parked outside and I could only conclude that we were at the guyā€™s motorcycle club headquarters.

He parked at the end of the lot, where it was a lot darker, and I got off. Looking towards the gate, I contemplated just running for it, but he grabbed my arm and dragged me to the clubhouse.

Shit.

My heart was beating triple time as he pulled me along and I couldnā€™t help looking around, searching for anyone who might look likely to rescue me. The bear dragged me right to the bar and slapped his hand on the counter.

ā€œTwo Coronas here, probie!ā€ he yelled.

A pimple-faced youth with curly hair turned and smiled at the bear, before reaching below the counter and emerging with two beers. ā€œSure thing, Rooster. There ya go.ā€

Roosterā€¦ I gave him a sidelong glance, seeing how it might suit him. His feathers could be ruffled way too easily. He looked from me to the beer bottle with a raise of his eyebrows and I knew he expected me to drink. I took a tentative sip, wondering if it was roofied. The probie had opened the bottle in front of me, but who knew how they might have adulterated it before. I let the first three drops sit on my tongue, alert for any lingering bitter taste. All I could detect was hops and bitters, but that didnā€™t mean I was safe.

Frankly, I was scared out of my mind. I took another small sip even as I watched him down his own bottle in like three swallows. Someone passed him a blunt and he took a hit before offering it to me. I shook my head, almost stumbling backward in my haste to get away from it. He grinned as if it was the funniest thing heā€™d ever seen before taking another hit and passing the blunt to someone else.

His hand closed on my wrist and he began to drag me towards the back rooms.

I wondered if screaming might help.

I looked longingly toward the doorway and was somehow not surprised to find Domenic filling it. The relief I felt could not be described in words. He strode into the roomful of bikers, Morgan at his flank, cutting a swathe through them to block Roosterā€™s way.

ā€œHey, douchebag, we meet again. Get your hands off my fiancĆ©e.ā€ His voice was low, cold, and deep as he looked Rooster in the eye. I tried pulling my wrist out of Roosterā€™s hand, but he held onto it, tight.

ā€œHey, finders keepers,ā€ he growled and I narrowed my eyes in annoyance.

This guy was grazing my last nerve. I truly hate to be objectified.

ā€œSheā€™s not a piece of property I left in a locker room somewhere!ā€ Dom barked back and I silently cheered.

ā€œShe came with me, which means she doesnā€™t care about being your fiancĆ©e. Move.ā€ He tried to push past Dom and I dug my heels in. Now that I had some back up, I was ready to fight. Rooster turned and glared at me as if he could not believe a mere woman was trying to thwart him. I could feel Domenicā€™s anger rising from where I stood and didnā€™t understand how Rooster could not see how much danger he was in.

A strange man joined the fray, stepping between Dom and Rooster. ā€œAlright, alright, whatā€™s going on here? Who are you and what are you doing in my club?ā€

Domenic looked the new guy in the eye and didnā€™t seem in the least intimidated by him despite the manā€™s tattoos, the fact that he was surrounded by at least five goons in support, and he had what had clearly once been a knife wound running
