I am out of my mind.

I started to breath sharply, and Jacob’s hand went to my back. “Calm down Autumn. It isn’t that much of a surprise to be honest.” He was gentle with me. “Come on, let’s get you across town before he fucks up his second shot with you.”

“What does that mean?” I picked up on Jacob’s tone.

“Let’s just say, while you’ve been in shit’s changed. And that lover boy of yours, well…. He’s been building one hell of a reputation in the clubs eyes. Last week, something switched in him.” Jacob paused and looked at me. “He started living with no purpose.”

Suddenly I was scared. How much trouble could he cause in a week of living with no purpose?

Chapter Four

Autumn

It is a known fact, or at least it should be that when you fall in love, common sense, judgement, all of that goes out the window. Falling for him, was like falling from my heaven shaped life, and hitting the grounds of hell.

There is no coming back after I got a taste of his lips. Nothing could prepare me for what we had become, the chemistry that boiled between us.

No one could tell me that I would fall for a leather cut, one percent biker. If you told me that I would love the touch of a man that had ended lives with those very hands I would have laughed.

While I may have come crashing to the floors of hell, I could legit say, I had fallen in love with the man that ruled this hell.

Good guys give you dinners, flowers, chocolates. Bad guys make you question who you are, run from you, leave you going crazy, and fucking craving more.

And I had fallen in love with a man that only saw grey and as my eyes locked with his, after walking into the Severed Sons Clubhouse, I knew I had officially fallen from heaven and hit the floors of a life that would be full of a whole lotta sin.

He looked at me like I wasn’t really here. Then he barked for the clubhouse to empty; my stomach twisted, tightened and clenched. Of course I didn’t just fall in love with a man, no I fell in love with a man that put a cage around my heart. That ruined other men for me.

They say move on. They say the grass is greener on the other side. Well, I’m telling you now, nothing, and I mean nothing met the same level as his lips on my body, or the fire that burnt through me when his eyes landed on me. The emotions he stirred through my body, just by his eyes.

His lips twitched up, as if he couldn’t believe his luck, but also was expecting me. And so he should be, he should know, how entrapped I was to him.

His hand cupped my cheek and I tilted my head back to stare into those jet black eyes.

It might not be everyone’s type of heaven, but he was my heaven; nothing in this world could have prepared me for the love I felt for this man.

CAGE

Disbelief.

Shock.

And then as I cupped her cheek I realized she was really here. My heart was racing at a pace that wasn’t possible.

She was here.

My hand bringing her scarred wrist to my mouth. Kissing it, as my thumb then ran over the scar. Her eyes locked with mine, and she had to know, that I would never let anything in this world take her away from me; not this lifestyle, not her father and not even her depression.

She was mine and as I brought her lips to mine I wasn’t a religious man but this woman gave me faith that I could face the expectations and commitments that were being placed on my shoulders.

I just wasn’t sure, as I stared into the vivid emerald eyes, how I’d tell her that the Severed Sons were at war with The Vultures. Thus she was going to be forced to pick between her family and me.

That is if, Hawk doesn’t play the next move, like I am expecting.

Chapter Five

HAWK

The tension in the room was enough for me to know that the men had decided for me. They knew where I stood on the issue. But they were more wanting to save their skin, their club, not caring that I was prepared to lose it all, just to keep him fucking out.
