Chapter 71

Alyssa

Niko walks me downstairs and out back toward a massive barn in the rear of the clubhouse. Apparently, this is their "church," a spot reserved for serious club gatherings, and tonight, it's for me and King.

My nerves are skittering, but I manage to keep it together. Niko's solid grip on my arm keeps me grounded. I shoot him a quick, sideways grin, lowering my voice so only he can hear. "Feels like you're walking me down the aisle."

He smirks. "Probably the closest you're ever getting to a wedding with him."

I don't mind that at all. One wedding was more than enough for me.

As we enter the barn, a line of women sit in the first two rows, including Lauren, who sends me dirty looks. I arch a brow, suppressing a laugh. "Let me guess...King's trail of broken hearts?"

Niko snickers. "More like all the women that still want his dick." Then he leans in close, his breath warm against the shell of my ear. "Good thing it's only ours to share now."

A thrill shoots through me.
