“Sure,” her friend replied. “Where do you feel like going?”
“Spice Room. I’ve been dying to try it ever since it opened. Bret keeps promising we’ll go, but we never do. I know he’s just stringing me along because he’s not keen to try Indian food.”
“I’m game. I like gyros. Is it like that?” Sadie asked.
“Not exactly, but I know some of the spices are the same. You like bold and hot flavors, so I’m pretty sure you’re going to like it,” Autumn said.
“Sounds good. Does seven work for you?”
“That’s perfect. I’ll meet you there then.”
Autumn put the phone on the coffee table then ran her hand over Cinder’s soft fur. She was happy that Sadie agreed to go out for dinner because she really didn’t want to spend the whole night alone with her thoughts. Autumn couldn’t believe she was ready to call Chains, and for what reason? What would she have said to him? For some reason, she was drawn to the biker and wanted to know him better.After all, he’s going to be my brother-in-law,but she knew that was a lie.
The truth was, she was attracted to him. Crazily attracted, despite all the reasons she shouldn’t be. If Autumn told Sadie about it, her friend would clap her hands and tell her how thrilling and exciting it must be. But she didn’t feel that way about it at all. She found her attraction… unsettling. Autumn felt something inside that could easily veer out of control, and she didn’t like that at all. Her world and her life were orderly, but a biker had come into it, upsetting the balance and making her think all sorts of wild things.
For the first time ever, Autumn felt like her life was unraveling and getting out of hand, way past her comfort zone, and she didn’t have a damn clue how to deal with it.
Sighing, she tilted her head back against the couch and closed her eyes.
