SHATTERED AND TEMPTED 109
DAISY POVDiesel pulled me tighter against his chest, one strong arm locked around my waist while his other hand gently stroked my hair.“These tears are itching me more than the damn eggs,” he murmured against the top of my head, his voice low and rough.A shaky laugh slipped out of me before it dissolved into another sob. My fingers clutched his shirt desperately, as if letting go would make everything fall apart again.“I’m sorry,” I whispered, voice breaking. “I didn’t know… I just wanted to do one nice thing for you.”“You did,” he said softly, pressing a kiss to my forehead, then to my tear-streaked cheeks. His lips were warm, patient, grounding. “The breakfast tasted good. Having you there made it better.”He shifted slightly and winced. The stitches on his shoulder must have pulled.“You’re hurt,” I said, pulling back just enough to look at him. My eyes dropped to the red rash spreading across his neck and arms. His breathing was heavier than usual. The allergy was still bothe

DIESEL POVRage boiled hot in my chest the second Raven burst in and snatched the tray.Plates crashed to the floor. Eggs, bacon, toast, and coffee splattered everywhere. The strong smell filled the room.But I wasn’t looking at the mess.I was looking at Daisy.She sat frozen on the edge of the bed, eyes wide, face pale. Hot coffee and oil had splashed onto her lap, soaking through the shirt she was wearing. She didn’t even react to the heat. She just stared at the spilled food like someone had hit her.Raven’s voice cut through the silence, sharp and accusing.“Why the hell will you eat that?! Are you going that far crazy for her? Not minding if she poisons you?!”The word “poisons” hit like a slap.Daisy flinched.I moved fast.I grabbed a clean towel and quickly wiped the hot liquid off her lap before it could burn her skin worse. My hand was gentle, but my voice came out low.“Are you okay?”She tried to speak but nothing came out. Her lips pressed together hard. Tears filled her
SHATTERED AND TEMPTED 107
DAISY POVThe sunlight woke me up.It slipped through a small gap in the curtains and landed right on my face. I blinked slowly, feeling warm and heavy.Diesel’s arm was still wrapped tightly around my waist. My head rested on his bare chest, rising and falling with every slow breath he took.He was still sleeping.I didn’t move at first. I just stayed there, listening to his heartbeat. It was steady and strong under my ear. After a while, I carefully lifted my head so I could see his face.He looked different when he was sleeping. His hair was messy, falling across his forehead. His eyes were closed, lashes resting against his cheeks. The small scar on his jaw caught the light.God… he’s so fucking handsome. Really handsome.I couldn’t stop the small smile that came to my lips as I remembered last night.It’s hard for me to stop smiling the more I remember that cute side of him. Though that cuteness won’t make me forget the Diesel that looks so tough when he holds a gun.Last night,
SHATTERED AND TEMPTED 106
DIESEL POVI hissed through my teeth as I poured hot water over the wound. It stung like hell, but I’m Diesel for a reason. A lucky shot like this has nothing on me. It was only a bullet graze.My mind wasn’t on the wound though.It was on her.She had been a bit too quiet on the ride back. I tried to convince myself that by now she had nothing left on her mind. She had faced her demon tonight and slapped the bastard. That took guts. I believed she had no more shit to think about.I turned off the water, dried myself quickly, and wrapped a towel around my waist. The mirror showed the red line across my shoulder. It would need stitches or at least good bandaging, but that could wait a few more minutes.I stepped out of the bathroom and stopped.Daisy was sitting on the edge of the bed, her face down, shoulders slightly hunched. She didn’t even notice I was there. She was completely carried away in her thoughts.The moment I took a step forward, she jerked back to reality. She quickly u

DAISY POVDiesel’s hand felt like the only steady thing in the world as he led me away. My palm still stung from the slap, but the burn was nothing compared to the strange lightness in my chest. It was hard to explain, but it felt as if a piece of the heavy weight I had carried for so long had finally become… smaller.Behind us, Donald’s ragged breathing mixed with the groans of his fallen men. I don’t know what Diesel did to them, but they were now on their knees, facing the wall with their hands on their heads. I didn’t give them a second glance. I didn’t need to. That chapter of my life was over.The door to the outer hallway burst open with a loud bang. Hawk stormed in first, gun raised, his face set in hard lines. Five more Storm Vipers followed close behind, their boots heavy on the concrete. Their eyes swept the room, taking in the blood, the broken bodies, and Diesel standing tall despite the bullet graze on his shoulder.Hawk’s gaze landed on us. He lowered his gun slightly,
SHATTERED AND TEMPTED 104
DAISY POVI jerked hard against Diesel’s chest in fear, my fingers digging into his blood-stained shirt. My heart was pounding so hard it hurt.The gunshot still rang in my ears.Then it echoed again — loud and sharp.But this time I knew the sound wasn’t coming from inside the room.I lifted my head and looked at Diesel’s face. There was a small smile on his lips, calm and satisfied, even as blood continued to soak through his shirt.I turned my head slightly. Donald’s men had frozen. Every one of them was staring in the same direction — toward the CCTV monitor on the wall.Right there on the screen, Hawk and several of Diesel’s men were moving through the outer hallway. They were armed and already taking down the few guards left at the entrance. Another gunshot cracked through the monitor’s speakers.“Told you that ass will be here soon,” Diesel said, his voice low and rough.Of course he wasn’t surprised. He had already told me earlier that Hawk would come soon. He knew his brother

DIESEL POV“If my presence is going to cause any trouble... you can allow me to leave.”“Leave.”The word rang in my head as the door lock clicked. I stood there and inhaled a long breath before slamming the door shut. I looked back at the wood, unable to shake the image of her. Even the night we m

DAISY POV A loud, aggressive knock thundered against the wood, jolting me out of my heavy sleep. My heart leaped into my throat, hammering against my ribs before I could even clear the fog from my brain.Click.The lock turned, and the door swung open. I scrambled to sit up, rubbing my eyes. My vi

DIESEL POV“Wife,” I said. Flat.“Yeah,” Donald said, while a long exhale came through the speaker—cigarette smoke being released slow, deliberate, like he was savoring the moment. I could picture him leaning back in a leather chair.“What the hell are you saying?” I growled.He let out a soft laug
