Free Faith (The Fast Love Collection Book 1) by TM Watkins Page B

an irrational and dependent woman this early on but there was just a fraction of jealousy that when he collected Leigh and took her home, she'd have her arms around him.
    The jealousy kicked into overdrive, imagining her to be some goddess and everything that I wasn't.
    I needed advice and I knew where to get it.
    Standing at the kitchen bench I looked across into the darkness, waited, waved and waited more. Nothing. Okay so maybe the popcorn had gone cold and they were elsewhere now.
    Though it was entirely possible that they were in the kitchen and I couldn't see them. Maybe I didn't want to see them. Maybe we both needed to get window coverings.
    I found my phone and quickly tapped out a message, within a minute the light in the kitchen went on and Eddie was at the window.
    “What's up girlfriend?”
    “I have some questions for you two but uh...” I pointed to the ceiling.
    Eddie shook his head with a frown.
    “Be over in a tick.”
    The window was shut and the light went off. His reluctance to continue the conversation at the window meant that Ken and Elise had their window open.
    It was only a few days away from the first official day of summer and it was like it had been here for months. Soon it would become unbearable and the air conditioning would get a good workout.
    I wandered over to the door and unlocked it, waiting for Eddie and James.
    “Well you look like you've been horse riding.” Eddie offered with a cheeky grin.
    “Shut up cupid. I know you were behind the whole scheme so don't be playing dumb about it.”
    “It worked though.”
    With a grin that I could not get rid of I shut the door and followed them to the lounge.
    “Where did he go? We heard his beast and thought it was a little strange.”
    “Gone to do stuff for Wolf.” I shrugged.
    “I thought he said he was out.” Eddie said rather confused.
    “I don't think out is ever fully out.” James returned.
    The statement was something that was already swimming around in my mind. Not knowing how motorcycle clubs worked I wondered if it was entirely possible that he was still technically a part of one.
    “So he had to go and get Wolf's daughter from her work so that she wasn't walking home by herself. She works at a pub and her name is Leigh, heard of her?”
    “Lots of pubs in this town Faith.” James offered with a sympathetic smile. “But after spending the afternoon in his house and getting him in shape to meet your specific requirements, I'd say you don't have much to worry about.”
    “Specific?” I said rather shocked.
    James and Eddie looked at each other and they both nodded.
    “Ed went through the list of the failings of the previous. Too hairy, too much aftershave, not enough aftershave, terrible personal hygiene, no dress sense, too much dress sense, too quiet, too talkative, too boorish, too scared to meet the parents, too scared to meet the best friend. Did I miss anything?”
    “I think that covered everything.” Eddie muttered from behind his phone. “Hey do you know what his surname is?”
    I looked at Eddie, his eyes never raising from the screen. I had no answer, James leaned back on the lounge and looked at Eddie's phone.
    “Saw some paperwork on the kitchen bench, had AM Morrison.”
    “What are you doing? Are you searching for him on Facebook?”
    “Of course I am.”
    Total hell, why didn't I think of that?
    “Did you know he was at Honey's on Friday?”
    James looked at me rather surprised.
    “He was at the bar but I don't think you served him. After that he was upstairs at the pool tables.”
    “That's where the Howling Devils hang out. Must be his former club.”
    I was out of my chair and at my desk before I could stop to think about it. Waiting for the stupid computer to load was painful.
    “You are crazy Faith.” James said as he leaned on the bookcase.
    “Yeah probably.”
    Searching motorcycle clubs on the internet wasn't easy, it came up with a lot of general information but nothing specific
