LOGINIce had seen courage under fire, in many cases literally, back in his SEAL days. But he’d never seen anything like Vixen that day. When he first caught sight of her, she was standing with her feet wide apart, solidly braced on those mile-high, mid-thigh black boots, the ones that he loved fucking her in. Her minute green skirt had ridden high and tight up her perfect legs, and her dark eyes were dilated to black as she grimly stared down the approaching vehicle, shooting and shooting, both hands holding the gun. She’d looked every inch the hot female assassin in some blockbuster Hollywood movie, right down to her hair flowing behind her in the autumn wind. **** Ice Johansson is the Road Devils MC’s Chief Enforcer: cold, ruthless, and built for violence. He doesn’t feel guilt, except where Vix is concerned. Weeks ago, he crossed a line with the one woman who mattered to him. Now an enemy attack leaves her badly injured, and Ice wants one thing: to protect her, if she’ll let him close again. Victoria “Vixen” Shaw owns her reputation as the club’s favorite ride. No shame. No apologies. For eighteen months, though, she’s been Ice’s alone. What he did shattered her trust, but when Ice becomes her caretaker – no sex, no demands, just presence – she begins to see the man beneath the ice. As the Road Devils are pushed to the brink, Ice and Vix find intimacy where they never expected it: clothed, raw, and vulnerable. But if Ice reveals the darkest parts of himself – the violence he embraces to protect his family – can Vix accept him? And even if she does, can loving a man like Ice ever truly be safe?
View MoreIce stared at himself for a few seconds, stared at the stars and the snow, and realized that if the dream came that night, it wouldn’t happen while he was alone. She would be here, and if he couldn’t go back to sleep, she’d get up with him. She’d sit in that massive leather chair with him, and she’d drink her sweet coffee, and she’d watch the pink and violet dawn break over the mountains, witness the golden sun touch and warm the icy caps. She’d listen if he wanted to talk, or she’d hold his hand if he didn’t. That was when he knew that he was doing the right thing. Maybe for the first time in a long, long time.He returned to his bedroom, then sat on the mattress carefully, cradling a small box in each hand.“Vix?”She heard it in his voice, and right away her sleepiness fled, those incredible eyes wide awake, alert. “Yes, Ice?”“I want to show you something. Two things, actually.”“OK.” She carefully adjusted herself, sat up a bit straighter. “What are they?”He opened the first box
Three days laterBut people can also love you quietly, without fanfare or noise; sometimes, this is when love is the most powerful, and the most life-changing.For the first time, Ice and Vixen were together in his bed. Ice was in boxer shorts and lying on his side facing her, holding her hand. She was all tucked up in her little pillow fort, looking warm and happy in one of his large t-shirts, if maybe a bit sleepy from their long shower together. That beautiful face was serene, those amazing eyes were his personal little night sky, those lips pink and slightly swollen from Ice’s tender kisses.As he gazed at her, it occurred to him – yet again – that he knew everything truly important about this woman, everything that really counted. He had years of small details to learn, he understood that, and with a jolt, he realized that he wanted to have the years to learn them – he wanted years with her.He wanted a whole lifetime together, for him to find out everything that made Vixen Vixen
The next dayLove isn’t just an emotion, it’s an act. It’s many different acts. And sometimes, when people love you really hard and deep, those acts are loud.Like when Dux and Drake walked into their home with Hannah and Joe in their arms, the sound that came from Briley’s throat was definitely deafening: all of her love, and fear, and dread came bursting out of her. She immediately shushed herself, because she didn’t want to frighten her babies – but her first and most true and honest reaction was to shout her love and relief and gratitude.They were carefully placed in her embrace, and Briley sat next to Cheryl on the sofa, lowered her tear-stained face to their cheeks, and mouths, and foreheads. She kissed them until they squirmed, but she didn’t stop.She finally looked up at the men, at their fathers, all of her questions written bright on her face.“We swear that the doctors in Utah checked them over,” Drake said. “They’re totally fine, darlin’. Wolf did an amazing job with the
“Something like that, yeah,” Bones agreed mildly. “Also, I didn’t want Viper to be the one to end me. It would be have been horrific, and maybe that’s what I deserve after the life that I’ve led, but I still want to be the one who makes the final call about how I go out. I think it’s a choice we’d all like to make, if we could. I mean – who doesn’t want to just die in their sleep, in a snug little cabin next to a frozen lake? Especially men who have lived the lives that we have, who always thought we’d go by violence somehow.”“I’ll give you that,” Wolf conceded, now wrapping Judge up nice and warm. “But you still could have just run without helpin’ us, seen your snow and ended things your way anyway.”“I know. I just – I wanted to do one good thing before I check out. I don’t think it’ll help me evade hell, if such a place exists, but at least I could leave Utah with a few points in my favour.” Bones shrugged, gave a wry smile. “It can’t hurt, right? And if I was going to blow town a
So here they stood, waiting for Keira to reach the front of the marquee, where Scars and Willa were waiting, along with Scars’ best man, Silver Bennett. Wolf would normally have been his first choice, of course, but Scars had wanted Zoe to be walked down the aisle by the man who was the closest thi
And Zoe realized then that she actually had: she was in white with gold and green, Keira was in light pink with gold and white, Willa was in forest green with gold thread shot through and wearing amazing long white gloves. Somehow it all worked together, the different outfits echoing each other and
Four hours later, Zoe was standing behind the flower arch with Wolf, watching Keira walk sedately down the aisle, throwing handfuls of wildflower petals left and right. Her daughter’s dress was a pale, shimmering pink and the white faux fur scarf threaded with gold was so large that it covered her
"So,” Willa said, closing the door against the autumn chill. “Looking at all that blue sky, I’m guessing that it’ll be an outdoor wedding?”“For sure.” Zoe gave Keira a kiss on her shining blonde curls, set her down next to the round dining room table. “No rain in sight for the whole day.” She look
