"Fuck" I curse as I speed down the road towards the clubhouse. This is going to be harder than I thought. As soon as I felt her soft body pressed against mine I wanted to pick her up, march into her bedroom and fuck her senseless. I love how she's responding to my touch. Just this morning she was still nervous of me but now she's letting me hold her.
I have to go slow for her, she deserves a man who can be patient and let her set the pace but I can't help but pray she gets used to my touch soon and let's me touch her a whole lot more.
I pull up at the clubhouse and head straight for the bar, a drink to calm my desires. I take a bottle of whiskey from the bar and head for my room.
Forgive me Lisa. I promised I would never love again after I lost her and I've never slept with the same girl twice. But with Evie I think we could have something, once I help her overcome her fears.
It's been ten years since I lost my wife, my high school sweetheart, and the only person I thought I could ever love. I still have her name tattooed on my chest and I wear my wedding ring around my neck.
Can I move on from the love of my life? Whilst giving Evie the patience she needs and the time. The last thing I want to do is hurt her.
I lie back in bed as I place the half empty bottle on the nightstand and try to ignore the battle in my head as I drift off to sleep.

"Morning Reaper." Indigo smiles as I walk into the kitchen for breakfast. Evie and I have had lunch together every day for the last week, after her work outs with Scarlett. We usually head to the diner and sit in the booth to eat together, but today, now she seems more comfortable with me, I want her to myself.
"Can you help me out with something." I ask Indigo and she nods.
I spent the morning working in the garage, I saw Evie smile at me when she arrived with Scarlett for her work out.
"Church." Bullet calls out through the garage, damnit I hope we're done in time for me to have lunch with Evie.
I walk from the garage through the bar into the room and take my seat at the end of the table
"What's up?" Knuckles says as he's the last one to join us
"I just got off the phone with Killer and I'm not calling lock down yet but we gotta keep on our toes." Bullet says as he looks around the table. I light a cigarette as I listen to Bullet lay out the details
"Killer went up there to help the Hundale prez broker a deal but it's headed south. Killer is concerned trouble could spread over the border to us. Usual rules apply, no one leaves without an escort, I'll put the prospects on the girls." Bullet says as groans resonate around the table
"Is it the fucking Devils again? They keep thinking we're stepping on their toes but we ain't even interested in their shit." Knuckles groans
"You got it. Killer is sticking around up in Hundale for a while cos they're short on numbers since Tino got locked up." Bullet replies
"I'll let you know as soon as I get word of anything else." Bullet says before ending church.
I walk out into the bar and find the girls all sat together in a booth gossiping away, they're like their own little club and are definitely not to be messed with. Evie looks up at me and smiles as I walk over to her
"You ready for lunch?" I ask and she nods. She stands up and I hold my hand out for her to take if she wants to.
"It's in the kitchen Reaper." Indigo calls out as Evie takes my hand and I intertwine our fingers. Awes resonate from the girls as I guide Evie to the kitchen, grab the basket Indigo loaded up for me and walk out to the truck
"Where are we going?" She asks as I pull out of the lot
"Somewhere they won't be watching over us." I say pointing back to the clubhouse doors where the girls all stand and watch
"Good idea." She replies. I drive for a while with the radio playing for her and eventually arrive at the lake. I park up overlooking the water, I turn the radio up and leave the windows down as I climb out of the truck.
"This is beautiful." She smiles as I grab the basket and take her hand as we walk to a bench and sit side by side. She still has the flashlight in her pocket, but she isn't chain smoking while alone with me, so I hope she's getting more comfortable with me
"I didn't know what you like so Indigo made a bit of everything." I say as I open up the basket full of sandwiches, fruit and all kinds of stuff
"Cheese, my brother used to joke you could put cheese on anything and I would eat it." She replies
"Noted." I laugh. We sit together in comfortable silence, apart from the music, as we eat.
"What made you join the MC?" She asks as I look to her
"I know why my brother joined, but why did you? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to." She mumbles as she looks at the ground
"Ever since I was a kid I knew I would join the Broken Demons. My dad and my Gramps were both in the MC before me, I prospected while I was still in high school and got patched in when I turned 18." I explain
"My brother loves the MC says it's just like a big family." She replies
"Yeah this chapter is one of the best I hang around for the family feel. There's one in LA and there's no old ladies around it's a total man cave over there." I laugh
"Hang around? Are you not part of this club?" She asks
"No, I'm a nomad, I don't belong to a specific chapter, I travel around and visit different ones, like I came here to help while Cordelias husband Killer is out of town." I reply
"So when he comes back you're going to leave?" She asks and I can see the sadness in her eyes, fuck. I shouldn't have said it so casually, she's just learning to trust me and I pull the rug that I won't be here. Fuck.
