Beggar
I push away from his warmth and walk past him, no doubt he’s following. He's always following me.“Beauty, whatever you thinking about doing don't. We've hardly had anytime. We haven't even really spoken.”When I'm silent, he shakes his head.“I planned to tell you this over dinner or a picnic or some romantic shit like that, not like this.”I frown, “What are you talking about?”His shoulders slump, “I'm being deployed.”I stop dead in my tracks.“It's a covert operation, I got two weeks with you, don't cut it short by going to that motherfucker, please stay, give us a chance.”My stomach sinks and for the first time since I met Zero, I do the very thing that he warned me not to- I lie to his face.“Ok, I won't go until I really have to.”The relief is evident as his shoulders drop. I smile at him, and it's not a hard thing to do. He looks dangerous and sexy in his cut and chains hanging from his pants, a trueRiver When you run, you never realize you're doing it. You never think it's ever going to circle. You just presume you'd keep on running. I stopped believing in God a long fucking time ago. I don't pray, I never hope. The day I left Kanla I left my faith behind, abandoned my family and froze my heart. The only thing I took was my soul. I needed something to survive and I did. Didn't ever think I'll come back and see Lauren standing on my front lawn. Never thought I'll see her alone, unmarried, looking at me as if she still loved me, with a single tear sliding down her Ivory cheek. She's still so fucking beautiful. Daisy Jane never told me Lauren still lived in my place, then again Daisy Jane never told me her friend Hannah had such a damn big mouth. No wonder her man ditched her ass. She probably busted the guys' balls to smithereens. I break my eye contact with Lauren as Killer smacks the back of my head, just in time to see Hannah walking to her house. Shit,
RiverThe cooking roster is a big thing in the club. Who we put on it is what makes it such a big deal. It takes a huge amount of trust to allow someone to cook our food. So to be on the roster means that you are a full brother and our woman even if you're not fully patched in, it's still a big deal. Our women take it very seriously. We don't call our females bitches like other motorcycle clubs. We always refer to them as 'woman'. They start off as kid, or dumb names while they earn their respect just like the brothers. But to be called 'woman' or by your club nickname is the highest honor. The brothers don't all fuck the women, and the women aren't just here to look after us. They train like the brothers, some kill better than the brothers, like Mercy. They get important ranks just like the brothers, like our National road captain, After. The only thing is we claim the women, some brothers, and our women prefer exclusivity and others prefer variety. At the end of it all,

Hannah I know my mouth gaps open, I feel it. I have to close it and open then close it again before I scowl. I'm not only affronted, but the blush creeping up my neck is the exact answer this arrogant and way too knowledgeable biker wants to hear. It's a shameful thing admitting to myself that I haven't been fucked in a long time. The truth is, after Landon, no guy has held my interest beyond a day. Those days were two, one with Raine Donovan, the local hot chef. He was my poor attempt at a relationship. When my colleague, Lisle Donelly, who might I add is fifty-eight, stated that she was getting fucked four times a week, I needed to know if I still had what it took. It didn't end well. Nearly a year and a half after that was the town playboy Deputy Gregory Deane, Kanla's deputy sheriff. He wasn't anything to sneeze about, blond hair, light brown eyes with a rippled six-pack was something women drooled over alone, add in the badge, and who c
Hannah Are you insulting my kid?" I'm aware my loud voice has dropped, and the calm façade is now in its place. River's face goes from relaxed to defensive in seconds."Fuck no, I was giving you advice." "It didn't sound like advice, I'm pretty sure it was an insult." I know my face is all sticky and my hairline too. Also, I probably look like a sick freckled tomato, but I still scowl at him. River's blue eyes narrow as his teeth lock, his jaw flexing in obvious irritation. Hah, it looks like his true nature is coming out to play. Too bad I got no time for games. I'm about to say just that when he bellows, "Why would I insult her when I agreed to build her a fuckin' treehouse that's going to put me back a coupla grand? I didn't come here to listen to your bitchin' Hannah." "You did what?" I know I'm screeching, and Ms. Drew is going to come outside and explain to me again the 'correct' behavior of a good Christian woman.
Hannah "You must be Hannah, Daisy Jane told me alota 'bout you," He says this as he peruses my body without making it too visible but noticeable enough to get his point across. This biker is definitely checking me out in front of my kid. "Well, that's just great for me and a shame for you because she never mentioned you," I point out straight-faced. Eyes narrowing, he stands there staring at me, not saying a thing. Ring covered fingers lift to rub aimlessly on the dark scruff of his jaw when I don't drop my own. What will it be like to touch a rough chiseled face like his? It has been a while since I've felt a man's rough skin against my fingertips. There's no reason why I deprive myself of something I could have so quickly. Maybe it's because I had it, and I allowed myself to get sidetracked by it. Or solely because I spent so many years trying to please a man that didn't want me. Truth is, there
