Hawk (Reckless Kings MC #2) - Harley Wylde Page 0,7
on in my life to not get my heart broken by a biker who was only in town for a short while.
Like my stalker.
As much as I didn’t want to admit someone was following me, I couldn’t pretty it up. What if things escalated? I didn’t want to freak out my family, but I wondered if maybe it was time to come clean. I set Cuddles aside and gathered the notes I’d found on my car and at home. Carrying them upstairs, I hesitated on the top landing, trying to gather my courage.
“Need something?” my dad asked, making me jump.
I peered through the darkness and saw him sitting at the kitchen table. “Since when do you hide in the dark?”
He slid something across the table. I inched closer, trying to figure out what it was. When I saw the note, the blood in my veins went ice cold.
I saw what you did. Whore.
“I think we need to talk,” my dad said and nodded for me to take a seat.
My legs collapsed from under me and my butt hit the chair. I handed him the other notes I’d been collecting. As much as I’d wanted to throw them out, something had told me I might need them as evidence. My dad read over them, his expression growing darker by the moment.
“When were you going to tell me about this?” he demanded.
“Now?”
He growled and got up, pacing the room. “Jesus, Hayley. You have a fucking stalker and didn’t think someone should know?”
“I didn’t think it was a big deal. He seemed harmless.”
My dad pointed at the note on the table. “Does that seem like it’s just a prank or love note? Because it’s not. Whatever you did, it pissed him off. He posted that to the kitchen window, no doubt knowing either I or your mom would possibly see it. Which means he doesn’t care if someone knows about his obsession with you. Fuck!”
“I’m sorry, Dad. I was going to tell you if it ever seemed like something was really wrong. I’ve felt like someone was watching me several times, and it’s why I decided to bring the notes to you now. I’m getting scared.” I glanced at the newest addition. Whore. He’d seen me with Hawk? But how? I’d been inside the compound, so unless it was someone who hung around the Dixie Reapers, or was one of them… No, I couldn’t even tell my dad that. He’d go after them with a vengeance. “I don’t know what that note’s about tonight. I just went out with Cuddles. It’s not like I tried to sneak into a bar or something.”
His gaze narrowed on me. “And have you? Snuck into a bar?”
“No. Everyone in town knows I’m your daughter. Do you really think they’d let me into a bar?” I asked.
He sighed and took a seat again. “Guess not. All right. I’m going to call your brother and get a detective on this. Be extra vigilant everywhere you go. If you think for one second you’re being followed or you don’t feel safe, you call me or your brother. We’ll get to the bottom of this, Hayley.”
“Thank you, Dad. And I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner.”
He kissed my forehead and sent me back down to my apartment. My hands shook as I crawled into bed. What did it mean? Whore. Why would he say such a thing unless he knew exactly what I’d done tonight? And the only way for him to know would be for him to be watching. From inside the compound.
My heart thumped in my chest. I wondered if I needed to tell the Dixie Reapers. I could call Mariah. He knew I spoke to her sometimes, but he’d always cautioned me to stay away from the biker’s compound. If he knew I’d been inside the gates multiple times, he’d freak the hell out. I had no doubt he’d be watching my every move until the stalker was brought in.
Whatever freedom I’d had was now over.
But at least I’d had one incredible night first, with a man I knew would star in my fantasies for a long time to come.
Chapter Two
Hawk
I scanned the clubhouse, watching the girls work the crowd. Any other night, I’d have already gotten my dick wet, but ever since my night with Hayley I’d felt a little off. Didn’t seem to matter how pretty a woman was, or talented I knew her to be with her tongue, my cock wasn’t interested. I didn’t know
