Liam opens his door and helps me inside his truck. As he settles into the driver’s seat and puts his hands on the wheel, I notice his knuckles are broken.

“Whose ass did you beat today?” I ask him.

He laughs and looks down at his knuckles. “Nobody important, Paisley.”

I fold my arms across my chest, smirking. “Mm-hm,” I mumble, giving him shit.

He laughs and rubs my thigh. I feel like fire is shooting up my spine.

I can feel Liam looking at me when he is not looking at the road. My face is burning with embarrassment because I reacted that way from just a touch on my thigh. You have to realize that I am a twenty-six-year-old virgin, and that is something not many women can say. The longer I am around him, the more I think about it and the more anxious I am to get to know Liam in that way.

“So when did you meet up with your basic buddy?” I ask him, ready to get my thoughts out of this realm.

“He is one of the prospects for the Devil Souls.”

Ahh yeah, I remember meeting a Tyler who is prospecting for the club. “How crazy that he is a prospect after all of these years.”

Liam nods. “He remembered me talking about the club and decided to go for it.”

“It’s awesome that he remembered all of these years. I am glad you have your friend back.”

Liam shakes his head, smirking at me. He pulls the truck to a stop in my driveway.

“What is it?”

“You.”

My stomach sinks. What does he mean me?

He looks at me finally. “You’re just the sweetest, Baby.”

“Oh.” My heart is doing flips in my chest. My hand rests on my chest, and I can feel it pounding under my palm.

God, my heart may not be able to take it.

Liam

I watch as she sets the dining room table. She is wearing a pair of jeans and my T-shirt, and her hair is hanging in curls down her back.

She is perfect.

I also love the fact that she is wearing my shirt. I don’t think that Tyler will try to poach my girlfriend, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want everyone to know that her ass is mine.

She looks up at me, catching me staring. She smiles and lowers her head, hiding the fact that she is blushing.

It’s hard to believe that someone like her has waited for years to be with me. She could have had anyone she ever wanted. But for some unknown reason, she wanted me. One thing I know I won’t do is make her regret being with me.

One thing is for certain: fuckers would line up down the block trying to take my place, but that shit is not happening. Todd is lucky to even be breathing; I wanted my bullet to be buried in his head instead of his knee.

I plate the steaks on the grill and walk back inside right as the doorbell rings. Paisley sets the steaks down on the table. “Let your friend in, I got this.”

Too fucking sweet.

I open the front door. “Hey man, come in.” I hold the door open and he steps inside the house.

Paisley comes around the corner, looking like walking sin. Tyler looks at her and then at me. I know exactly what he is thinking, but the fucker won’t say it because I wouldn’t like that.

Paisley stands at my side, and I put my hand on her ass. She looks slightly shocked, but she plays it off and reaches out for Tyler. “Nice to meet you, Tyler, I’m Paisley.”
