The first half of the following week was like any other week. Unsurprising. Uneventful. A minimal amount of profit. The second half, however, went by in a blur, filled with several customers in and out of the shop every day. It wasn’t a mass amount of clientele to where I could consider myself out of the water just yet, but by the time Friday rolled around, I’d made just under two thousand. That’s the most I’d made in months and as I sat there crunching numbers for the books before Eden arrived, I wondered if perhaps my unlucky streak was finally coming to an end.

If it came to be, I'd have Eden to thank for that.

Speaking of Eden… Fuck me, that woman. She was something else. Anyone could see her beauty, but it’s what laid within the walking contradiction she was that I was interested to learn more about. I realize I should’ve wanted nothing to do with her, and believe me, I’d tried to convince myself she was a monster, but at the end of the day, I couldn’t. I refused to be believe that someone so kind and generous, someone who had the capacity to risk their life for someone else, was truly a monster to begin with. Granted, I didn’t know whether I was her first mark or not, and I wasn’t sure how I would feel if I knew the extent of it all, but something kept telling me that whatever led her down this path wasn’t strong enough to dim the light that burned within her. And I knew that light existed because I’d witnessed it, her generosity and all she'd done for me my testament.

Ding, ding!

The bell above the door snapped my head up, tearing my eyes away from the open notebook beneath my arm. Eden stood just inside the shop, a sly smile dragging across her face when our gazes met.

“Hi.”

“Hi,” I said slowly, standing as I took her in.

Aside from blackened lashes and lips glossed in crimson, her face was flawlessly natural. Long blonde waves were swept over one shoulder, accentuating the curve of her neck. The inky dress hugging her figure sheathed her arms in entirety, but left a mouthwatering sliver of her shapely legs on display, just above the boots that came up to her knees.

She was riveting, and I was stunned to fucking silence.

“Are you ready, or…?” she asked, her tone light, amused.

Clearly my appreciative stare hadn't gone unnoticed.

Perusing the curves of her body, I nodded and slapped the notebook shut. “I am. The question is, are you ready?”

Eden laughed and rolled her eyes. “I was born ready, X. Bring it on.”

“You say that now. Just wait till we get on the road.” I shrugged into my leather jacket, making my way around the counter. “I'll show you how to ride, Angel. Don't worry.”

“That’s what you said last week. I’m interested to see what makes you think you’re a better rider than I am.”

“Experience. It all comes down to experience,” I said, flipping off the shop lights.
