“Zack isn’t exactly a master interrogator and Kane threw up last time he had to stab a guy.”
“Okay, what the fuck?” he asked. “Weren’t you two on a date?” “Um, yeah, we were. We’ve been dating for six months now,” I said, my words spilling out in a daze. Had Elliot really ran off without so much as a yell for me to follow or glance back to see if I stayed behind him? Did he leave me here so he would have more time to get away? “Well, that’s sure as fuck long enough not to leave you alone with the man trying to rob him. I have a gun pointed at you guys, and he ran? If your choices are to get shot or spend a night walking around an art gallery, I would think it would be an easy choice

tbh. valid
“Wow. Oh, wow. I’m so pathetic, the man who needs to rob me at gunpoint feels sorry for me?” “Hold on. Let’s get this straight. I was robbing him. I wasn’t coming for you.” “No? You had a gun pointed at me!”
ok banter
“Alright, come on,” he said, reaching out with his helmet in hand as though I should take it. “Come on, what?” “Come on, I’m driving you home. Unlike your boyfriend, I’m not leaving you here on a deserted street, at night, all alone. And I have more stuff to do tonight, so come on, get your ass moving.” “Really? You plan more than one mugging a night? Surprising. And maybe he knows I am a grown, capable woman,” I said, straightening my shoulders. Maybe Elliot had only thought I would know how to handle myself and expect me to run with him.
i don’t like that this is working
“Yes,” he said over the bike. “You are on top of me. An arm around my waist or on the tank. You can hold on to me unless we stop or shift, then use the tank to hold yourself up. Don’t squeeze the fucking life out of me or I might leave you to walk. If you have a problem, tap me and I’ll stop. Don’t make me stop because you’re scared. Keep it to yourself. If you grab anything lower than my belt, that’s your own damn problem because I haven’t had a girl on the back of my bike in months and I guarantee you will be feeling something.”

Her eyebrows furrowed, and she got off the bike. “Well, guess what, Rook, we are already here, so I’m going to walk around the corner and get a cookie. You can either sit there and wait like a good little mugger, leave me here, or come with me, but I’ve had a really shitty night and I want a fucking cookie,” she said, nearly in tears.
like a good little mugger is crazy
Stalking a girl who preferred to lie in bed watching movies, reading, and ordering endless takeout was boring. It had been four days, and she had left the house two times.
if i had a stalker:
“I had it look like I was going to. I wouldn’t hurt you. And no, I’m not going to hurt you, either,” he said to Harper. She didn’t respond, watching wide eyed as I got up. “No, because I’ll cut you,” I said, facing him now. Rook only grinned as he slipped on his shirt. “And I’ll let you, baby.”

bit at his hand, but he didn’t react, so I bit down harder. “That will do nothing, Rebel. Well, not nothing, but I don’t think your desired effect is getting my dick hard. Are you going to keep your mouth shut now?”

“Could you imagine the depression I would give a therapist?” He leaned down, kissing me once. “Thanks for stalking me. I never realized how fun it could be to be on the receiving end. I’ll talk to you later.”
awe cute
“You’re flirting about killing people!” Harper screamed, laughing harder. “You little freak. What is going on? One day you’re with douchebag Elliot, and now you’re flirting with a hot tattooed biker man who scared you to death because you thought he would kill you.” The phone dinged again. “I hope that’s a text saying he’s coming because I can’t wait to hear this in person.”

“Six hot bikers is a party I for sure want to go to.”
Same
“Fine. I’ll go with you, so one, you don’t stalk me more, and two, I don’t wake up tomorrow with a permanent tattoo of your name on me.” He gave a satisfied groan, dropping to kiss me. “I change my mind. Please go on your date. Stalking you, killing him, tattooing my name on you. It sounds like my dream date.”
was mine, and there was no chance I wouldn’t catch her. I would always catch her.
“You show up and immediately have a fucking guard dog. Not fair,” he said, but sat back, still smiling. “A guard dog?” I asked, looking over my shoulder at Rook. “Woof,” he whispered, his breath tickling my ear. “And that’s it? I say the word and you hit him?” “Pretty much.” “But he’s your friend?” “No friend of mine is going to disrespect you and there be no consequences.
Do you know what a rook does in chess?” She shook her head, and I wrapped my arms around her. “He protects the queen. He can’t take her down, he can’t win against her, he only protects her. If you want to be queen of it all, I will cut down anyone in your way. I won’t stop you or lock you up, and yes, I would happily kill anyone who bothers you.”
