Chapter 41

Dax

I knew I’d win…. That motherfucker got a few jabs in though.

“You fuckin’ nailed it, Dax!” Bomber yells as we step into the back room.

“Hell, yeah, he did!” Kane grins like a lunatic. None of that matters to me right now, though. I want to know why my woman was crying her eyes out when I was winning a fight.

I nod to the guys with Laura wrapped tightly in my arms. They all nod back and leave us alone.

I pull her to the bench before I sit us down.

“You wanna tell me why those tears are on those beautiful cheeks?” I ask her. Laura tilts her head to look at me before shaking it no.

“Talk to me,” I demand her. Laura takes a breath before licking those full lips.

“Trinity said... my man won,” she says softly. I’m confused since I am her man… and I did win.

“Why did that make you cry? You hopin’ I’d lose?” I playfully smirk at her. Laura shakes her head and I can see it in her eyes. Just how torn and lost she is.

“She called you my man, Dax. I don’t know where my head is at right now. I don’t know what’s right or not. I don’t know anything,” she breaks down again. Tears spill from those blue eyes, ripping my heart to shreds. I pull her back into my chest and hold her there. Letting her get it all out.

“There are very few things in life that I’m sure of. I know for a fact that I’m sexy as hell. I look like a fuckin’ god.” She giggles before I continue, “The other thing is that this club is my family. These people, are what keep me goin’ day after day. You are a part of that family, Laura. I told you that I wanted you. You know how I feel. I won’t pressure you into anything you don’t want—but you need to be real with me right now. If you can’t handle bein’ with me—say the words.” There are many things in this life that I can handle, but being with her when she isn’t sure isn’t one of them.

I made the decision to be all in on this. I took that step and offered to take care of her and that baby. Now I need to know that she’s as committed as I am.

“My mom would have loved you, Dax. She was a lot like you. She always joked and made people smile, but she was serious to a fault. She never said things she didn’t mean,” Laura whispers before looking up at me.

“Just don’t tell me I look like her. I don’t know that my ego can take that blow,” I tell her with a smile. Laura doesn’t smile back, though.

“I was never good enough to be like her. As much as I want to tell myself that I can handle the not knowing, I really can’t.”
