She responds slowly, “You break horses.”
I nod with my eyes on the road in front of us. I hate lying to her. Never have I ever betrayed my brothers’ trust before, but I can’t lie to Ava. “We do other things too. But around here, that’s what we’re known for.”
She seems to think on that and doesn’t ask anything else until we’re driving past the ranch and the clubhouse. “Tank, are drugs involved?”
I keep my eyes on the road in front of us. “No, honey. No drugs.”
“What about women? I know you said your MC doesn’t hurt women, but I know some MCs are into trafficking.”
I pull onto the dirt road that leads to my house. “No, we don’t hurt women. That’s something we’re pretty adamant on.”
I park in the garage and shut the engine down. Before I get out, I turn to Ava. “Anything else?”
The worry seems to have gone off her face. “No... that’s it.” She opens the door and jumps out with me sitting in the same spot staring after her. She’s about to shut the door when she looks at me. “Oh, there is one more thing.”
I tighten my hand on the steering wheel, waiting for her question, hoping it’s something I can answer for her.
“I know it’s crazy... I know we just met... but you’re not like any man I’ve ever met before, Tank. I’m pretty sure you’re the one.”
My eyebrows arch, and instead of ready to run like any other time a woman has talked about commitment or a future, I’m ready for it. “The one?”
She nods. “Yep, the one that’s going to take my virginity.”
She slams the door before I can respond, but all of a sudden, my jeans just got a hell of a lot tighter.
