They walk toward the free-weight area, and it doesn't go unnoticed that Twisted escorts her to the furthest place in the gym where she can be from my treadmill. I know it's purposeful. I just don't know why he would think he needs to put so much distance between the two of us.
Maybe I'm reading too much into it. Maybe she asked him to show her the gym and specifically requested the free weights. I know the woman works out. Someone doesn't have a body like hers without knowing what the inside of a gym looks like.
As hard as I try not to just stare at her, the longer I'm in the room with her, the more difficult I find it.
As I watch her move, the weights in her hands making fluid motions as she works out her back and shoulders, I realize something I probably should've realized sooner.
Morgan is far from Henry's type.
She's elegant and sophisticated. The woman has several degrees in finance. I seriously doubt she moonlights, jumping from one bar to the next, looking for a wild man to take to bed.
Morgan is my type, and that just solidifies what I already knew. Henry has purposely put her in my path. He wanted me to notice her. She's here definitely because of her connection to Kaylee, and maybe that was the coincidence. From what I could tell from the research I've done, Morgan was on Henry's radar before Kaylee was on Heathen's. It just so happened that they lined up with each other.
There has to be something special about her, something I haven't uncovered, for Henry to put her in my path. The man always has an alternate agenda. When everything comes out in the wash, she won't be just another woman he manipulates because he can.
I fight the urge to run from the room so I can get back to my computer to keep researching her, wanting to look for the Easter eggs I know Henry has already discovered.
I'm always a few steps behind my twin brother, and it has eaten away at me for fucking years.
Morgan isn't the first woman he manipulated and shoved in my direction, but she is the first woman who has made me stand up and really notice. I know Henry has to be fucking cackling at just how much of this woman I have noticed, and I know from experience that was his plan all along.
It makes me hate my brother more than I already did, and that's saying a lot because I fucking despise him. We've had a tumultuous relationship since we were teens. After I got over some form of hero worship when I was younger and actually opened my eyes to the type of man he will always be, it made it easier to put some distance between us.
My presence never really registered with my brother until I was no longer following him like a blind puppy. Then he took notice and hated that he was no longer the center of my world. His retaliation has been to taunt me and hurt others around me just so I can't keep ignoring him.
I know without a doubt if I don't act or do something that he will notice, things will just get worse. He will cause more pain and more terror until I concede and acknowledge that he's still walking this earth.
Luckily for Morgan, she's here and safe. As long as she stays at the villa, she'll be fine. Henry is no doubt a psycho, but he's not so insane that he'd risk getting caught or even coming face-to-face with the team of guys here. I have no doubt that he has done all of his research and knows more about all chapters of the Cerberus MC than some of its active members even know. Their reputation alone will keep him at arm's length, at least for a little while.
In the meantime, I have to work hard to figure out where he's staying. I hope he slips up because a mistake on Henry's part is the only way I'll ever be able to catch him. He's always been ten steps ahead of me our entire lives.
The problem I've always had comes to mind. Even if we get lucky and do catch him, what do we do with him?
Chapter 5
Morgan
No matter how hard I try to fight my annoyance, I just can't seem to shove it down all the way.
I completely understand where Kaylee is at. Well, I sort of do. She's infatuated with her man. They're literally in the honeymoon stage of their relationship.
I'm pretty sure that with her insistence that they don't sleep together since she wanted to have their marriage annulled, they just literally made that last step in their relationship.
I'd want to spend every single moment alone with my man, too, so I can't begrudge her for disappearing even though she's the one who suggested we get in the hot tub.
