Slow Burn (Lost Kings MC, #1)

by Autumn Jones Lake

Our gazes collided, and I sucked in a deep breath. Deep, slate eyes bored into me. I had never seen anyone with gray eyes before, and I kept staring to see if the color would shift from a different angle. Tearing myself away from studying his unusual irises took some skill.

"Honey, I could never let you go. I couldn’t let you go even when I had to. If you want me to, I will. If you decide I’m wrong for you, it will kill me, but I’ll let you go."

"As much as those girls might understand the club, they didn’t understand me. Your honesty and loyalty unravels me every damn time. You don’t expect things from me. You’re so damn clever. That day in the courtroom, you were terrified when that judge made you represent me. I could see your hands trembling. But you still did it. You gave it everything you had on the spot. You whipped out this eloquent plea on my behalf with no time to prepare. Most people would have half-assed it. You were kind, even though you probably thought I was a degenerate criminal. Then you kept fighting for me when you asked the guard to uncuff me. You didn’t have to do that. No one else would have bothered. That sincere sweetness is what I have been looking for my whole damn life. I knew it when we were standing on the sidewalk talking. You were so adorably frustrated with me. You accidentally flashed me an eyeful of cleavage and had no idea how sexy you were."
