“This…” I motion between us “…Is scary. Everything worth having or trying is scary, babe. I was brought up in an MC, so I know about things being hard. Seeing some of the shit my club has seen, plus the shit I have seen on hunts, is something that makes you take note of what could be lost.”

When my grandfather passed, it hit us all hard. My father especially, but we pulled through it as a club; that is what the Rugged Skulls is all about.

Looking up at Lilith, she looks uncertain: biting her bottom lip, her fingers twist together showing her unease, but I don’t think it is about me, it is about the situation.

Knowing what I know about what her cunt of an ex did to her, and what her mother was and I have no doubt is still like to her, I can see why she would be nervous about not only starting something with me but with anyone.

Lilith is someone special, and it is on me to make her feel that, to show her that I will never hurt her.

She needs to see that not all men cheat and lie. Not all men go about hurting the women they plan to marry and spend the rest of their lives with. I would love to be put in a room alone with that motherfucker and beat the shit out of him, then thank him for letting her go, because now she is mine.

“We do this at your pace. If you want it, that is? You know there is something here, Lil.” I smirk at her.

She can tell me no, but I know she wants to say yes.

There has always been this underlying connection between us, but as I said, what happened with Dom sent her packing. Not that I blame her.

She nibbles her lip, her dainty fingers touching my name patch on my cut. Seconds tick by and as she takes her time sifting through her thoughts, my gut starts to tighten thinking she will reject me.

Even if she does, I will worm my way into her life so she has no choice but to pick me.

“Let me add this, in case it is something you are worried about. I will never cheat or hurt you, baby. It is not in my blood to hurt women. Once you are mine, you are mine until my last breath. That may seem intense as fuck, but this is who I am.Women in the past have held my attention for however long it took me to get off. Not one of them have I ever wanted around my son.”

Her nose wrinkles at my words, making me chuckle and tighten my hold on her thighs.

“I am no saint; I have been with women before, obviously, but do not get me wrong, I am nowhere near the level of whore that my brothers once were. You are different, Lilith. Dom likes you, the club likes you. Fuck, I like you. You have to have known that I had a crush on you when you came to visit.” I cock a brow at her.

Her eyes widen in shock and her kissable lips part, making my dick twitch behind my zipper.

“You did?” I nod at her question.

“Oh yeah, I used to jack off thinking of you, my teenage boy hormones were running wild, and you always played the starring role in my dreams.”

“Oh God.” She covers her face in embarrassment, but she doesn’t need to be.

“Baby, there is nothing wrong with masturbation. It is perfectly natural.”

“I know,” she blurts out, slapping her hand over her mouth before stepping back. “I have to go.”

“Lilith,” I call to her, but she runs to her car.

It is cute that she thinks she can run away after pretty much admitting that she masturbates.

Maybe even to images of me.

Fuck, one can hope.

CHAPTER FOUR

LILITH

My back clicks when I stretch, leaning back in my seat at my kitchen table. I look down at the design in front of me and smile.

I am designing a cake for a couple that represents them as a lesbian couple. So I am designing a rainbow sponge, with flavors that marry. Plus a design around the cake that screams them as a couple, with balloons, and pottery, as they both work in that industry.

On top I am making a sugar rainbow that will arch across the top and melt down one side of the structure. It will look amazing when I am finished, if they approve the design, but thankfully I have 3 different designs for them to select from.

Standing from my chair, I walk over to my fridge, needing a cold drink.
