Chapter 3

Finn

I didn’t need to turn and survey the crowd of excited people to know who had just walked through those double doors. I didn’t even need to hear the name the old man Dodge had announced from the open door way like she was some sort of visiting royalty.

I could tell the moment she had stepped into the room, the faint smell of vanilla enveloped me. And my fist clenched under the table.

She hadn’t even changed her perfume , she smelt exactly the same as she had as a snotty nosed teen.

I couldn’t turn , I wasn’t going to do anything to make her talk to me . Those days were long gone. But that didn’t stop her scent from tickling my nostrils.

She smelt so god damn good. Fresh and sweet and I knew she was going to be looking just as good.

I had eyes and an Internet connection. I wasn’t above googling my best friends baby sister. Catching those little glimpses of her. Happy and grown into a beautiful woman had just proved to me I had done the right thing by her.

I had let her go and become something amazing and the fact she hated me for it was not my business.

I could handle her hatred, if it meant she didn’t stick around this dump and end up the old lady of some man who cared more about his bike then he did about his family. A man like me.

“Look who I found” Dodges voice was right at my shoulder , and my hand closed around the beer bottle with such force it was amazing it didn’t shatter.

Still wasn’t going to look at her.

“Del” Dominic was on his feet , his chair scraping back as he rushed to crush his sister against his chest. “You made it, I thought the mob would have pushed you back out the door”

“And yet you didn’t come to my rescue” Her voice was soft. And my eyes flicked up. What the hell was wrong with me that I couldn’t even stare a slip of a girl in the face.

“Hey, Come here” I mouthed the words across the room and my date instantly got to her feet. Tottering on heels she couldn’t comfortably walk in she made her way over to me and I dragged her none to gentle into my lap, my hand clutching at her thigh where her dress had risen up.

It was going to be so much easier doing this if I had another woman in my lap.

“Come and sit with us for a while”

I groaned low in my throat as she finally came into view. And I watched as her eyebrow arched upwards , a small almost sarcastic smile on her face. “Charming” She muttered under her breath. “But seriously I need to do the rounds, be back to chat with you soon?” She reached up on her tiptoes and planted a small kiss on his cheek and my eyes swept up the length of her body.

Shit.

I had been staring at the curve of her back as it swelled into a round but petite ass.

Her dress was obscenely right, a pale pale pink that fitted her like a second skin. And my eyes , like the eyes of every red blooded Male in this place feasted on her.

“I am such a huge fan”

Delilah flashed a small smile down to my date but her eyes skirted away before they fell on me. “That’s sweet thank you”

“I was just telling Double, how I was so excited he invited me because Delilah Dee was going to be here and I might get to meet you”

I rolled my eyes , catching Dominic’s bemused expression.

“I can’t believe he grew up with you, no one talks about you at the club house”

“That’s enough” I had to shut her up. This was awkward enough without her making it worse.

“Double?”

Finally I raised my eyes to her face , and the smile that split my face was predatory.

“That’s me”

For several long seconds we stared at each other, neither one of us backing down in this silent battle of wills.

“Ah Finn, sorry I didn’t know you had chosen your road name” She made a motion with her hand as if to brush it off. “You were just a prospect the last time we spoke , that’s why they never talk about me” Her brown eyes sparked and there was something like disdain in them. “I was just an annoying kid to them, you know what prospects are like” Her laughter tinkled in the air and even Dominic bristled. He shot me a What the hell is going on look and I shook my head.

An annoying kid?

Hadn’t I said as much to her that last night?

Seems like the years hasn’t dampened her anger on me turning her down.

“All postering and swagger, d***s in hand”

I wasn’t the only one at the table to raise an eyebrow at that jibe but no one said a word. “But anyway it looks like everyone is all grown up now, can I have this?” She tapped her nails on the full beer bottle in the middle of the table.

“Knock yourself out Princess” I watched as she wrapped her lips around it, taking a long pull that made her long throat work as she swallowed and whether she was being deliberately sexy or not it didn’t matter. Her lips around that bottle was the hottest thing I had seen in a long time.

I shifted uncomfortably, acutely aware of Dominics and Dodges eyes on me.

“Cheers Double” She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. Flashing the table a smile that could light up a whole city block. “So Finn, why do they call you Double?”

Dominic pelted out a laugh and even Dodge was chuckling to himself. And I frowned at the both of them.

“You don’t want to know Delilah” I shook my head with a small smile, this wasn’t a conversation I wanted to have with her.

“Oh it’s because he has a habit of doubling up”

Damn her to hell. I gripped her thigh a bit tighter. Trying to warn my date without words to shut the f**k up.

She ignored me totally.

“Doubling up?” For a second Delilah looks confused as she stared at me with that damn bottle to her lips.

“You know double tapping, Double is the master of getting two women in to bed at once, like a total wizard at it”

“Shut up” The words hissed out of my mouth without me realising. What the f**k was she doing talking about that s**t in front of Delilah? Couldn’t she see how different Dominic’s little sister was to us?

“You are seriously disgusting” Delilah didn’t look at me as she placed the bottle down on the table like she would catch something from drinking my beer.

“I think I’m going to get some air” Again she stood and my eyes followed her on their own accord.

She had to know I was staring at her. She had to feel the weight of my eyes on her as she kissed her brothers cheek again.

“Suddenly I feel sick, gonna go and get some air”

“Del” I made a move to go after her, not knowing what I was going to say or even if I should but Dodges bear like hand pressed down on my shoulder. Pushing me back into my seat.

“Not now son, it’s not the right time”

Shit, did everyone know or was I just being that obvious?

“I don’t know what you mean” My eyes tracked her across the bar, her arm linked with her brothers as she threw back her head and laughed at something someone whispered in her ear. Her blonde waves bouncing down her back.

“No?”

“No” I pushed my date off my lap. “Go away, get yourself a drink or something” what ever conversation Dodge was about to have with me I didn’t want any witnesses.

“What is it with you and her?” He didn’t need to incline his head for me to know he meant Delilah.

Who had her hand of some preppy looking guys shoulder. Shaking the sudden anger away I reminded myself I had no right to be jealous.

She wasn’t my sister.

“Nothing”

“Then why do you look like you want to beat seven shades of s**t out of the lad she is touching?” Dodges bottle clinked onto mine bringing my attention back to the worn table and his smirking face.

“She’s like a sister to me, god Dodge me and Dominic pretty much raised her”

That was my story and I was sticking to it. Truth was Delilah had always been more mature even back then. We hadn’t done s**t for her except keep her safe and scare off any boy who showed the slightest bit of interest in her. We hadn’t raised her, she had raised us.

“Bullshit if you look at your sister like that then you are one sick individual. You might as well have your d**k in your hand”

“Don’t be disgusting”

“So tell me, what happened? Have you to met up since she left to live with her grand parents? You didn’t hook up with her did you? Dominic will kill you”

Yeah didn’t I know it, at least he would try. I drummed my finger tips on the scarred wood. Debating how much I should tell him.

“No I did something worse” I finally admitted , watching as his face closed down. “Not that, god who do you think I am”

“Then what?” His anger was right there under the surface , threatening to bubble up and erupt in my face.

“She had a bit…”

“The crush she had on you as a teen?” He laughed and the anger slid off his face. “Everyone knew about it but you and Dom. You two did such a great job at keeping boys away from her that is was obvious to anyone with eyes that she would start getting feelings for you instead”

I paused , scratching at my chin. I hadn’t known , not then. She had been barely sixteen years old. The kid sister to my best friend. I didn’t look at her .. I didn’t want to see her as anything but a kid even when the guys at the club house began to remark on her I wouldn’t let myself see it.

“She asked me to be her first” The words came out my mouth in a rush and it felt so god damn good to say them out loud. I had kept it locked in my chest for ten years. Letting it torture me. Letting the guilt eat up at me.

Dodge said nothing, his face impassive.

“She asked me to take her virginity , it was a few weeks after her fathers death , just before she left. I don’t even think she realised what she was asking. She was just hurting and needing comfort”

That was bull crap and I knew it. She knew exactly what she had been asking the night she had crawled into bed with me and pressed her almost naked body against mine. She knew it and I knew it. And it had taken every ounce of willpower twenty-two year old me had to make her put on some damn clothes.

“And did you?”

“God no” I took a long pull on my beer before setting it back down. Time to come clean. “I did something so much worse” I shook my head as the image of her shocked face swam behind my eyes. “I f****d her best friend instead”
