Free Healing Gabe (Last Hangman MC Book 3) by Muriel Garcia Page B

nope he wants to keep you. There’s something between the two of you, no one can deny that.” She smiles innocently.
    “I have to agree with her. As pissed as he was when you showed up. When you left, he was all lost in his thoughts, I thought he was going to run after you. I don’t know what you guys have been through, but it seems pretty intense. Don’t push him away. He needs someone he can talk to who will listen to him,” Ayd chimes in, making me glare at her
    “While I agree with Ayd, you do know my brother doesn't do relationships, Line.”
    “Ah, neither did Aleck and look where that got us.” She rubs her tummy with a serene expression on her face.
    “You’re pregnant as well?” Nic squeals.
    “Yes, I am.” Line beams.
    “Congrats!” They hug squealing.
    “Thanks, Sweetheart.”
    “Back to my brother, I know Aleck didn't want a relationship and had a valid reason, my brother is just a very stubborn loner.”
    “Actually, your brother has a very good reason not to want a relationship.”
    “How do you know?” All three of them look at me intently.
    “As I said, he used to date my sister. We go way back.”
    “I don't know you but I feel like there is something about you, something he needs. You seem to be the one who could soothe him and piece his heart back together. Whatever it is, if you hurt him, you’ll have to go through me. I don’t know what happened to him years ago, but I have a feeling you are a part of the reason he's been miserable for the past twelve years. I want my brother happy.”
    “Trust me, we want the same thing. I'd never hurt Gabe, at least not on purpose.”
    “Alright. I’ll give you a chance, I just hope he’s not the one breaking your heart. You seem pretty invested in this relationship already.”
    “You have no idea how deep I am.” I sigh and we order our food and drinks when the waitress comes over.
    I didn’t expect lunch to go this way. I mean, I like that Gabe’s little sister is protecting him and wants the best for him, but being told that I’m the one responsible for her brother being miserable for all those years is horrible.
    Nicole slowly warmed up to me and any tension that was there left. I was glad that it went well, I didn’t want lunch to be awkward because of me. This is why, no matter where I go, I never make friends, whenever someone learns of my past I’m judged. Despite her warming up to me I can still feel her judgement, even more so now that she knows what happened between me and Gabe, and why we already knew each other.
     

 
    CHAPTER 8

    Gabe
    Staying away from Viv has been the hardest thing I’ve had to do in a long time.
    I knew going to her was a bad idea. I knew I wouldn’t be able to stay away once we kissed and fucked. It puts the both of us in danger, the Kings are already after me but when they find out she’s back, they will want her dead. That’s not something I’m willing to risk. I need to stay as far away from her as possible, all the while making sure she’s safe.
    Ant and Aleck are back from their weekend away with their women. The three of us have a meeting and then another one later with Ray, the Bastards’ president, we don’t usually have private meetings without out the rest of the club but some things needs to be discussed in private considering all the attacks are due to personal vendettas against us, not the club.
    I’m already sitting in the Chapel, waiting for these two fuckers to come back down from their little clouds. I’ve never been jealous, so to speak, of what they have with their women, but now that I’ve seen and had a taste of Viv, I want that but I don’t know how to go about it. There’s so much more at stake than just us being together. It could bring down the entire club, and I’m not sure we’d be able to recover from the shit storm that would come out of this.
    “What’s up, Brother?” Ant greets me, pulling my thoughts.
    “Just thinking about you two fuck faces.” I
