“We, never started.” She said into my ear, and I let out a steady breath knowing that. Starting the bike and heading for home.

Chapter Twenty Five

Autumn

Ijust had to pretend that everything was fine, that I was fine with this. When really I was freaking the fuck out. I couldn’t look a member in the eye. I told Hawk I’d be okay and right now I was trying to keep that promise, as my hands clenched the basin of my ensuite.

I couldn’t look myself in the eyes. To think I was going to have to live with this for the rest of my life… My eyes dropped to the razor.

I knew I shouldn’t.

Knew it wasn’t going to help. But I was like an addict trying to distract my mind but instead of pills or drugs, I gripped the razor. I just had to check I could still feel because I felt numb.

I felt cold.

I felt distant.

And I didn’t know then, I had a more serious problem coming to light.

CAGE

“Women! Fucking women!” Jacob walked into the garage ranting about women, by the sounds of it. His loudmouth running. I was under a car, barely listening to his problem. Then he kicked my boot. “Oi you even listening!”

“Nope.” I grunted back, and then he gripped my leg, pulling me out from underneath on the wheeler.

“I’m busy Jacob,” I gritted out sitting up. And then I saw her walking towards the garage. Shorts, a high waisted top, I didn’t know she had her belly button pierced.

“Oh now I see who has your attention.” Jacob muttered and then added ‘typical’ to the end of his sentence. I got up, and wiped my greasy hands on my jeans.

“Morning boys.” Autumn grinned, and her eyes flickered from Jacob who was making gagging noises, and she arched her eyebrows looking at me. “Okay, so he’s in a mood,” she said when he walked off, leaving the shed.

“What has you so happy?” I asked her, walking towards her.

“One life to live and all that jazz.” She was grinning and considering she had been staying out of clubs eyes, and her door was always locked. A lock which she had brought and put on.

Hawk was worried about her. He was underthe impression she wasn’t coping with what happened and so was I.

She snuck a glance around, and then took a step towards me. “Can I ask a favor?”

I was interested now, and smirked. “Darling, you know whatever it is, I’ll do it.” I then made an advance on her. My hands going to her hips. “Including ones that doesn’t involve clothes,” I whispered in her ear.

She giggled. “I was more hoping to borrow the car.” But then her hand ran over my chest.

“But now the whole no clothes deal, has given me other ideas.”

I was dancing with fucking fire being this close to her. I moved her backwards, till her ass hit my work bench, gripping her legs I lifted her up. My hands now on her sides, the fact she was wearing a top, where half of it was missing— sparked my need to explore her.

I nipped her neck before I kissed her lips. Fuck she was so fucking perfect.

A voice clearing scored her attention.

“Fuck off.” I said over my shoulder and went back to kissing her neck.

“Um Cage. We should stop,” Autumn said. And I cursed, ready to throttle the bastard that had walked in. I looked over my shoulder seeing Lit.

“What do you want?” I barked at him.

“Autumn.”
