Lost Reapers MC- Claimed by the Bikers novel Chapter 55

Chapter 55

Lottie

Something was going on between Killian and Xander. It was subtle but they were usually so in tune with each other that their sudden awkwardness was

stark.

What it was. I didn’t know. But I could hazard a guess. In fact I would put money on it. The reason for the sudden tension between them was me.

And I didn’t know what to do about it. Because it wasn’t meant to be like this. Not between us.

Sat squarely on Killians lap, I felt the comforting swipe of his fingers against my hip as he chatted with his friends. And this felt natural. To just be here

with him.

But when Xander bent down and drew my feet onto his lap that felt natural as well.Through my lashes I watched Xander’s face. And he caught me straig away because he was staring straight at my face like he could read my thoughts.

And I didn’t want that.

Opening my eyes fully I smiled at him. Not a bright fake smile, but one meant just for him. The instant I did it. His face relaxed and he smiled back. But for a second before his eyes darted upward to the man whose lap I was sitting on and it faded.

Killians fingers found my cheek and turned my attention back to him. His lips brushed over mine and as always I melted against him. But inside I was screaming. Screaming that this was only going to drive a wedge between us all. And it was one we had only just sorted out.

I wanted to be with both of them, And they had said they wanted to be with me, together. So what was with this sudden rift between us?

What was with the sudden jealousy from Killian? Like he couldn’t share me?

I already knew the answer to that though. Of course deep down he couldn’t. In Killian’s head I had always been his. Ever since that first day so many years ago when I had walked into my foster brother’s room and introduced myself.

Except I pulled myself away from him. Smiling against his lips before leaning over and pressing my lips to Xander’s. For a second he looked shocked 90s soft full lips rigid under mine and then he softened. His hand slid under my hair and he deepened the kiss. His tongue swiping aga

Under me Killian went rigid.but he didn’t pull me back and he didn’t say a word. He didn’t really need to, to let the world know was

When I finally pulled away and reached out to snag a drink from the tabs, there was one man in particular that can my eye it wasn’t hostile either it was simply curious?

Chapter 55

Standing he deposited me on the chair he vacated. Almost instantly I missed the warm hardness of his body. “I’m not going anywhere.” I tried to joke. “

two are my ride.”

The joke fell flat and I bit my lip.

“Rancher.” Xander shot a look the the guy who had been staring, the one in the old weathered cowboy hat.

“I’ve got her.” He tipped the rim of his hat towards me. “I’ll make sure she stays safe.”

I wanted to argue that I had spent my entire adult like keeping myself safe but now just didn’t seem to be the time to start that particular argument.

“Thanks brother.”

They walked out and suddenly I felt powerless and ever so small. When did that happen? When did I suddenly start having no confidence in myself?

Sighing loudly. I leant forward. “So. Why do they call you Racher? Do you own a ranch? Ride horses? Are you a-“

The look he gave me was enough for the words to die on my lips.

Killian has the bluest eyes I had ever seen. Sapphire blue but Ranchers? They were icy. Like looking up at a clear winter sky. Or the depth of water in a pl

like Antarctica.

Completely mesmerising a completely different way.

“All of the above.” He said finally and when he smiled it was the warmest friendliest smile I had ever seen. “Many many years ago.” For a second his eyes grew wistful like he was thinking about something else. A memory of a different time and place. And he was lost in those memories.

“But.” The wistful look on his face was gone as quickly as it had started. “I got the name because I rocked up here, a gangly kid with a cowboy hat and boc and no knowledge of bikes. They gave me the name because the only thing I knew how to ride was horses. Do you want to know how Irish and X got their

names?”

I shook my head. “They have told me.”

He looked thoughtful for a second and then he simply nodded. “I should have guessed. You and Irish have a lot of history don’t you?”

Why did it feel like I was about to be cross examined? “Yes.” I nodded my head with a whisper.

“Yeah I can tell. So can Xander.”

We both fell silent.

He broke that silence which wasn’t really silence at all because there was a busy club house around us

“They both love you.”
