My heart drops when he storms back to his SUV. Fudge muffin. I really screwed up this time. I quickly debate my options. Maybe I should swallow my pride and jump out of the car to chase him down. The thought of apologizing and begging for help doesn’t appeal. Luckily, the hot jerk isn’t leaving me. He grabs something from his vehicle and heads back to my car. I’m unable to make out what he’s holding, and fear hits me. Is that a gun? Is he going to kill or kidnap me?

Relief flows through me when light glows from the end of the object, and I realize it’s a flashlight. My jerk-slash-hero kneels next to my car, and I lose sight of him. Turning, I attempt to comfort my little pooch. “Don’t worry,” I coo. “Mommy will get us out of trouble.” I hope I’m not lying to Luv Bug.

CHAPTERTHREE

CASH

Iknow she’s mine. Crazy, foreign emotions hit me from all sides. Rain lashes the side of my face as I stare down at her. God. She’s the most stunning woman I’ve ever seen. Even through the foggy glass, I’m able to make out her beautiful, heart-shaped face. The sprinkling of freckles across her nose and cheeks screams girl-next-door while her luscious curves are all hot vixen. The sight of her long, blonde hair laying against the pale skin peeking from the edge of her lacy top sends dirty fantasies zinging through me. My cock steadily expands in my wet dress pants as my mind reels. I think this girl just stole my heart. Fuck. I want to throw her over my shoulder and hide her away, so no other man gets near her again. I pinch my nose as I fight these crazy thoughts. I don’t even know her name.

The stormy night disappears when a steamy vision invades my mind.

Warm water drips down her luscious curves, drawing my eyes to her mouthwatering tits. Her big blue eyes sparkle as a tiny smile moves across her pouty lips. She pulls her hair over her shoulder, the blonde locks dripping more water over her tits, before shocking the hell out of me when she drops to her knees. I watch her delicate pink nails scrape down my thighs and can’t control the shiver that runs through my entire body.

Lust slams into me when she wraps her soft hand around my hardness and leans over to lick the tip, sending my pulse skyrocketing. A shiver runs up my spine and...

The noisy little fur ball in the backseat snarls, causing my vivid fantasy to evaporate. Cold water drips down my face as I blink, trying to clear my foggy mind. Her dilated pupils and the blush staining her pale skin says she’s affected by me, too, but the anger shining from her aqua blue eyes tells me I have my work cut out for me.

When my stubborn little kitten refuses my offer to wait in my SUV, I’m equally proud of her for looking out for her own safety and pissed off she isn’t letting me take care of her.

After inspecting the tire and conditions on the side of the road, I realize I can easily change it for her. I head back to her window and wait for her to open it a crack. “I can change your flat tire, but I can’t do it with you in the car. It’s just not safe. I’ll need you to wait in my SUV.” I pull my key ring out of my pocket and stick it through the window. “Here. You can lock the door behind you,” I tell her, hoping to ease her fears. She has no idea how I feel. I’d rather cut off my own dick than see anything ever harm her.

She stares at me silently for a few moments, then bites her juicy bottom lip. “I need to take Luv Bug with me.” She points back at the dog. “She would be scared in the car alone,” she explains. I smile and nod to agree while mentally rolling my eyes at the crazy looking animal’s name.

Leaning into the backseat, she messes with something behind the little dog before grabbing him. “Thank you,” she calls over her shoulder and races toward my SUV. After I’m sure she’s settled in the warm vehicle, I get to work changing her tire.

By the time I finish the job, I’m a soaking wet mess. I throw the flat tire in her trunk and lay the tools next to it. I’ll have one of the guys take it down to Drake’s garage tomorrow and get it repaired.

I feel her eyes moving over me as I walk to the SUV. After knocking on the passenger window, I wait patiently while she finds the button to open it. “All finished, kitten,” I tell her and feel a funny little squeezing sensation in my chest. My hissing little kitten has turned my cock to stone.

“Thank you.” The dog growls at me, and she shushes the little shit before rolling her expressive eyes. “Sorry about Luv Bug. She doesn’t do well with strangers.” She points at my shirt. “And sorry about your clothes.” The rain has slowed to a trickle, but my suit is soaked through. The gorgeous girl leans over and runs her eyes down the front of my body, causing my blood to heat. “I’ll pay you for changing my tire and your dry cleaning,” she offers.

“That’s not necessary.” Then an idea pops into my mind. “Why don’t you let me take you to dinner for payment?”

“Uh.” Her eyes pop wide before she blinks several times. “You buying me dinner doesn’t exactly pay you for helping me.”

“Spending time with you will more than make up for a little bit of work.” I wink at her and watch the adorable blush reappear on her cheeks. She hasn’t opened the door, and I don’t want to lose any ground with her, so I introduce myself through the crack in the window. “I’m Jason Montoya, but my friends call me Cash.” She stares at me for a few seconds, and I start to sweat.

My stubborn curvy girl unlocks and opens the door before holding her hand out. “Hadley Eaton.” She smiles shyly.

“Nice to meet you, Hadley.” I lift her hand to my mouth and place a soft kiss across her knuckles.

“You, uh,” she clears her throat, “too.” Then she pulls her hand away and glances down at her watch and gasps. “Oh, shoot. I need to get my arrangement delivered. Maybe we can talk about dinner some other time?”

Remembering that she told me she was lost, I ask, “What address are you trying to find?” I don’t like the idea of my girl walking up to some stranger’s door, so I look for any reason to keep her from leaving. She reels off the address of the compound and relief hits me. “That’s my place,” I tell her, and she blinks several times as suspicion fills her eyes.

Hadley’s eyes narrow as she swallows. “Mr. Davis ordered the flowers.”

“Rulie Davis is my friend and employee. I’m the President of the Silver Spoon MC.” I attempt to reassure her. “Gloria, Rulie’s wife, is our housekeeper at the clubhouse.” She looks even more suspicious now. “I’m headed there right now,” I explain, but she doesn’t appear to believe me. Pulling out my driver’s license, I point out my address and watch some of the tension drain from her curvy frame. Wanting to keep my privacy, I have an apartment in town next to my office where I stay most of the time, but I use the compound as my legal address.

The beauty bites her lip while staring at my license, then she glances back up at me. The suspicion has faded from her stunning blue eyes. “Could you give me directions?” She smiles.

“If you want to follow me, I’ll lead you there.”

She grabs the fur ball and smiles. “Thank you. It seems you’re determined to save me again.”

Keeping her safe and happy is my goal for the future.

I watch her buckle the little fur ball into its doggy car seat, then I hop into my SUV. My phone screen is glowing and I notice a text from Hands. His surgery ran late and he won’t be at the compound tonight. As I slowly drive down the long, winding lane that leads to the compound, I keep checking my rearview mirror to make sure she’s still behind me.
