We settle onto the edge of her well-made double bed. I know she’s lived here all her life, but her room is decorated like that of a young woman. I wonder if she’s always been mature, or if she’s recently redecorated. Some of the items look like they’re secondhand. Maybe they belonged to someone else in her family before they found their home here.

We’re quiet for a long moment before Hazel speaks. Softly, she says, “I’m sure you’ve already figured some of this out.”

“That you were working with those bastards to clear a debt that didn’t belong to you?” I say, squeezing her hand and giving her a soft smile I’ve never given anyone before. Hazel unlocks a different side of me. One I didn’t know existed.

“Yeah,” she confirms, her voice sounding a little bit lighter. “My dad… he developed a bit of a gambling problem when my mom passed away. I was too young to know what was happening at first. He hid it pretty well, too. It wasn’t until I caught him packing his bags in the middle of the night that I found out what was going on.”

“He was going to run away?” I ask.

Hazel nods. “He had plans to leave the country to try to make the whole thing disappear.”

“The Apex Runners would have just gone after you to settle it anyway.”

“That’s what I told him. I managed to convince him to stay, and the next time the MC came knocking, I worked out a deal to settle his debts,” she says, shaking her head with a wry smile. “At least, I thought I worked out a deal. They just kept taking more and more and… well, you know the rest. Anyway, I’m sorry for not telling you sooner.”

“You don’t have to apologize,” I assure her, leaning over to kiss her cheek. “You’re obviously used to having to deal with things on your own. But next time something happens, no matter how insignificant you think it is, you tell me. I’ll help you with anything.”

“Axel…” she says, those big brown eyes full of trust and wonder.

“I’m serious, angel,” I say, holding her gaze. “I won’t ever let anyone hurt you again. I’ll keep you safe and make sure no one lays a hand on you. I love you, Hazel. I love you like crazy. I love you way too much to see you hurt.”

“I love you, too,” she says immediately, the words spilling from her lips like she’s been holding onto them, trying to keep them back. “Axel, I love you so much.”

I don’t hesitate to surge forward, capturing her lips in a heated kiss. She makes a surprised noise before wrapping her arms around my neck and returning it with equal fervor. I can sense her desperation with each breath she takes, in the way she whimpers with need.

My cock quickly wakes up to the situation at hand, swelling to life in my jeans. I need her just as badly, if not worse, than she needs me. So, I grab her by the waist and lie her down on her bed, letting her cage me in with her legs.

“Axel, please,” Hazel whines as I start to kiss down her jaw, nipping at the column of her throat.

And who am I to deny her when she begs so prettily?

I waste no time in taking off her pants as I continue to pepper her neck with attention. They come off easily, and I’m delighted to find that she didn’t put her panties back on earlier. Next, I pull away and remove her shirt, revealing her lacy bra that’s hiding her perky tits.

“As nice as this is… it needs to come off.Now.” I punctuate my words by taking out my pocket knife and ripping the bra in the middle. She gasps, and before she can protest, I promise, “I’ll buy you a new one.”

I lean away from her, making quick work of my own clothes. Then, I’m back on top of her in an instant, kissing her with fervor and rutting against her thigh with need. She wraps her legs around me and urges me closer, wordlessly begging for my cock.

Without a second thought, I reach down and line my length up with her opening. In one smooth motion, I push inside. Both of us moan, our voices harmonizing in ecstasy.

“Fuck, you feel so good,” I growl as I start fucking her at a punishing pace.

Even though I know I have her, that she’s mine, there’s a sense of urgency in my movements. I need more, to be closer to her. Fuck, I just can’t get enough.

“Wanna fill you up,” I say, my need manifesting in lust-fueled babbling.

“Please,” Hazel whines, digging her nails into my back so hard I think she’s going to leave marks.

I go harder, her bed creaking on its hinges and knocking into the wall. Thank god we’re alone in here. Her screams and moans are getting louder with every thrust.

“Gonna give you my cum,” I growl, shifting my attention to her neck. I sink my teeth in, wanting to leave a mark in every way that I possibly can. “Gonna make you my wife, angel.”

“That’s all I want,” she says between broken moans. “Wanna be your everything.”

“You already are,” I say, capturing her mouth once more. “I love you. I love you so much.”

“Axel,” she gasps, her pussy tightening around me.

She’s already so close. It pushes me further. I’ll be tumbling over the edge soon, hand in hand with my angel.
