My Stepbrother’s Dirty Secret
He bought me a handmade silver bracelet with a tiny motorcycle charm that made my heart lift in delight.
“You’re such a…..,” I teased, but I let him clasp it on my wrist anyway.
“Only for you,” he shot back with that rare, crooked grin.

He told me stupid stories about the club….the harmless ones, mostly about Kaleb falling off his bike during a rookie run. I laughed until my sides hurt.
