CHAPTER 5

JOURNEY

When I step out of the room Tanner has given over to Shiloh, I take a deep breath and close my eyes. This thing between us is moving fast, there’s no denying it. I’m not nearly as scared as I should be. I probably should be running away from Tanner and the promises I see in his eyes.

He’s older than me, which we’ve talked about. The thing is, we don’t really care. I had to grow up fast and he’s steady in a way a guy my age might not be. I deserve steady. So does Shiloh.

He’s a biker, but he’s never hidden it from me. He’s been open and honest about the club, his brothers, and his life before he met me. He wasn’t a saint, but he never lied to the women he hooked up with. I suppose he could be telling me what I want to hear, but my gut doesn’t think so.

As my eyes open, they find Tanner standing across the hallway looking like he just stepped out of my filthiest fantasies, the ones I never wanted to acknowledge before because I needed all my focus to be on my daughter. The shirt he’s wearing is bunching and pulling across his chest where his arms are crossed. His jeans are unbuttoned and if that’s not sexy as hell then I don’t know what is. Then his ankles are crossed which only highlights his bare feet.

“Journey,” he rumbles, his voice enticing and reaching for me.

The man doesn’t need to say anything else because my feet are closing the distance between us without any input from my brain. I want him.

My nipples are hard and screaming for attention and they’re not alone. My pussy is fucking throbbing. I’ve been in his house more than once now and I’m tempted to run to his room and throw myself down on his bed before I beg him to fuck me hard and make me feel like the twinkle lights on the tree in my living room, the one he got for me and Shiloh. I barely stop myself from giving in, a little bit of fear that this is all too good to be true helping me to not make a fool of myself.

His dark eyes are intense as he looks down at me and I feel the way he searches the deepest part of me. The place where I locked away my dreams and my hopes. I had to do it or else I wouldn’t have survived. I did it for my daughter, but I walled up my heart at the same time. I don’t regret it; it was for my own sanity.

I don’t think those walls matter anymore. Tanner has already gotten past them.

And it scares the hell out of me.

On our way over to Tanner’s house tonight, Shiloh was quiet. I glanced at her in the rearview mirror while keeping my voice gentle, “Is everything okay? If you don’t want to go over there, all you have to do is tell me.
