“What’s this?” She asks.

I release her hand and start to pull the sheet off of the car. The 67 Chevy. She gasps as I reveal the clunk of metal to her.

“I haven’t touched it since. It didn’t seem right to do it without you.” I shrug.

She wipes a tear from her eye as she searches the car. The car we were redoing for her dad.

“Now, Princess, we still have a lot of work to do.” I walk over and pick up the toolbox from the bench under the awning.

“Travis, I don’t kn….” she starts.

“Daniella.” I use my tone that means I’m not backing down and she knows it.

“Fine. But I’m taking the lead,” she says with narrowed eyes.

I smile and pull her to my lips as I walk past. “That’s my girl,” I mumble against her.

She shakes her head and pulls out her phone, picking her favorite music. She turns it up and grabs the tool box as I open the hood.

“I’m proud of you,” I say as she comes to stand beside me.

“Thank you,” she says with a tearful voice.

Then she reaches in, tinkering with whatever she wants. I lean back against a stack of tires. I don’t say anything, I just sit back and watch her passion come back to life.

Chapter 35

Daniella

One Month Later

I feel two strong hands slide around my hips as I’m bent over the hood of a mustang. I smile to myself as I peek over my shoulder.

“This jumpsuit on you is fucking hot,” Travis whispers in my ear. “And the fact you are the boss is even hotter.”

I playfully nudge my hips back, pressing myself against his quickly growing erection.

He groans into my hair and I can’t help but giggle. I love that I can rile him up like this.

“I can be quick.” He nips at my neck and then places a kiss on the spot.

I glance around at the shop full of guys who are not paying any attention to us.

“Sorry, I can’t right now. I have my appointment this afternoon. We gotta go in ten minutes.” I remind him.

“Fuck…” he curses.

I pull away from him and place a kiss on his cheek. “Let me get out of this and we can go. It’s a little bit of a drive so we need to get on the road.”

He makes a face, but I slip away and head back into the office. I change in the bathroom, making sure I have no grease on my clothes and I touch up my wild hair.

Stepping out of the bathroom I see Travis, Maverick, Widow, and Preach.

“Preach, does Maxine have an open spot at the bar for a waitress?” Widow asks.

“Yeah, she could probably use some help since Dani left. Got someone in mind?” He asks.

"Uh yeah…I’ll tell her to stop by.”
