Wreck Me Forever - Lila Rose Page 0,2

scanning the room. If it wasn’t for his hands fisted at his sides and the scowl on his face, I may have fallen to the floor in awe of his beauty.

I took another quick glance around the room and noticed my brother did, in fact, have some good-looking friends. All of them could be on the cover of a magazine. I wasn’t sure what it was about the scowling man that set me off in a sweating, peeing-my-pants, “holy crap he’s looking at me” moment with my pulse racing, but he did. His dark brown hair was shaved at the sides, and the top was longish and messy, some of it flopped in his dark green eyes. He would probably punch me if I tried to push his hair back though. He was tall, my short frame only reaching his shoulders. His tight black tee showed off the muscles in his arms, and his dark ripped jeans surrounded thick thighs.

I jolted and pulled my gaze up quickly when Death said, “Wreck, you took forever, fucker. Get in here and meet Saint’s brother, Lucas.”

Saint?

Who was Saint?

I wasn’t a brother of Saint.

“Lucas, I’m Saint. It’s my club name,” Zion called; he must have seen the confused look on my face.

Nodding, I glanced back to Wreck and did a lame wave before I grabbed my own arm with my other hand. “Ah, s’up.”

S’up?

Was I a gangster now?

“I mean, hi.”

He lifted his chin, and out of his mouth came a gravelly, “Hey.” He looked at Death. “Pizza guy just pulled up.” Then he walked by us and aimed for the kitchen.

I wanted to follow like a stray kitten. He could take me in, pat me, love me…. Dear God, I’d finally lost it over a good-looking straight guy.

A slap to my back had me clamping my lips together and eyes widening. “Fuckin’ pizza, gotta love that shit,” Death said before he moved toward the still-open front door.

I heard a greeting before my arm was snagged, and Zion dragged me from the room, down the hall toward my bedroom. Had I done something already?

In my room, Zion closed the door and turned to me. “Are you okay with this? We’ve been on a long road trip and were close by, so instead of heading back to the compound, we stopped here for some food and drinks.”

I waved a hand around. “It’s fine.” I laughed. “Totally fine. I mean, it’s your place. You can do whatever.”

His eyes narrowed as he crossed his arms over his chest. “Are you okay?”

“Yep,” I popped and nodded. I threw an arm out. “I mean, I know you’ve been with your group—”

“Club. The Diamond MC,” Zion stated with a smirk.

“Right, the MC club for a while. I just thought that if I ever met your guys—”

“Brothers.” He chuckled.

“Yep, um, brothers, that they’d find me, ah, not cool.”

Zion snorted. “Is this you being worried about what they’ll think of you because you’re gay?”

My heart stopped, my breath caught, and I wheezed, “You know?”

Zion smiled. “Shit, Lucas. Mom, Dad, and I know. We’ve known for years now.”

I felt sick to the stomach. “How?”

“Besides the fact you look at guys before women?” he asked. I glared and nodded. He grinned. “Mom found some gay porn on your laptop one day when she went to use it.”

I didn’t have to see to know I’d paled. I felt the color drain from my face.

I sat on my bed with my head in my hands. “That’s just so wrong on so many levels.” I looked up. “I won’t be able to face her. I’ll have to leave the family.”

Zion laughed, and I wanted to punch him. Heck, I’d never been a violent guy, but I was suddenly seeing the appeal of smashing someone’s face in.

“Relax, I’m messing with you. It was me who found the porn, but I’d already suspected. Mom just asked me one day if you’d said anything to me about liking guys.”

I dropped back on the bed and covered my face. “Obviously I’m terrible at hiding it.”

“Bro, we’re family. We’re gonna notice more than anyone. None of my high school friends suspected. What I don’t get, though, is why you haven’t told us?”

I groaned. “Is now really the time to have this talk when you have friends out there?”

“Yeah, it is.” He moved over to my bed and sat next to me. When I didn’t move, he shoved my leg. “Seriously, bro. Why didn’t you say anything?”

I shrugged. “I don’t know. I just got
