“Yes. That I’d give up my own fucking life for you and that little girl upstairs. Without even blinking, I would do that for you. I’ll keep you safe. I’ll give you everything. Just never, ever, threaten to leave me like that again.”

“Yep. So Maeve will be a Carter, too.”  “A proper family.” She looks up at me and beams. “To think, all of this started with a game of never have I ever.”

“Good girl,” he mutters against my lips. “And even if you bankrupt my card, which, to be honest, would impress the hell out of me. I’ll just sell a couple of my Lambo’s.”  “You are completely reckless, Jax.”  “I prefer the term chaotic. It’s my quirk.”

“There’s five ways to ride a biker, sweetheart. I’m going to show you all of them.”  I blink a few times, I’m so caught up in him, my brain doesn’t give a crap about numbers. “Five?” I question. “So, fingers, face, cock, bike, and what?”  I’m completely blank on the missing one.  “Thigh, baby. On my lap. You’re going to rub that perfect cunt all over my leathers until you get yourself off. And do you know what the best part is?” “What’s that?” “There’s no one around yet, so you can scream my name as loud as you like.” His eyes squint as he smiles beneath his mask.

It’s like without her, I can’t breathe.  She is the one who anchors me, gives me a reason to claw my way out of the dark. When I am with her, the world is calm.  It’s like everything stops screaming inside my mind. The second she touches me, it dissipates into nothing but her.

“You really know how to turn me the fuck on,” he says in a low voice against my lips. “Every damn time I look at you, you take my breath away. So keep choking me, baby, and I’ll show you just how good it feels, too.”

To my baby girl, my tigryonok.  I want you to know just how much I love you. Even if you only had me in your life for a brief time. Know that it meant more to me than you can imagine.  I hope you grow up to be just like your beautiful mommy.  Kind, brave, a Queen.  But most of all. I just hope you can be happy.  That is all I wish for, baby.  I will always regret not being a good enough father for you. Trust me, everything will be better for you without me. That doesn’t mean you don’t own my heart and my soul. Because you do.  I hope one day, you can forgive me for leaving you like this.  Even ...more

Our lips meet, and I give everything I have in that kiss. All of my love, my truth, my forever. I am hers. “Now, shall we go get ready and pick up our little girl? The last piece of our puzzle,” she asks. Another reminder of the life she has given me that I have to fight for.

“I can’t stop until he’s gone. I’m doing this to protect our family, baby. Our baby girl. You two are all that matter to me. I’d sacrifice everything in a heartbeat for you two. It would be the easiest decision I’d ever have to make.”  As I shake my head, his grip on my cheeks tightens. “But, I will be coming home. I love you,” he says and kisses me again, this time harder, before he pulls away.

She twirls around and perches on the edge of the mattress. Slowly and, oh, so fucking teasingly, parting her legs as she places her hands on her knees. “Damn, baby,” I groan. “You know what to do, Jax. Crawl to me and then you can fuck me as hard as you want.”

Men, like anybody else, sometimes just need to be held tight and told that everything will be okay.  There isn’t a cure for a mind that works against you. There is no magic button to press to make the dark thoughts go away. I’ll have to battle this every day, probably for the rest of my life. And I will. I will continue to fight for us. For me. For our daughter. And most of all, for this beautiful soul in front of me. I will never stop, and with her by my side, I know I can do it. She is my strength in this life. My forever. Now the good days outweigh the bad. I have a radiant light in my ...more

“Baby!” Maeve shouts, and we both laugh. “Are you ready for more chaos, Mr. Carter?” His tongue glides over his lip as he clasps my hand. “Always, sweetheart. I am the king of it, remember?” “I do, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
