Chapter Twelve

The next few weeks stayed calm, and Traeger was amazed at how close he and Tara had gotten in such a short amount of time.

That morning, as he left his bed, he took her lips in a kiss so hot and carnal it took his breath away. He was amazed at how hard it was to leave her as she slept naked and with only a thin blanket covering her lower half. He could have sat there all day and just stared at her.

Unreasonable anger at the thought of the power she held over him took him out of the room and downstairs. Traeger thought he’d calmed his anger, but he still felt edgy, and he couldn’t figure out why.

That morning, he’d snapped at everyone, so he decided to come out and work on his bike. It always seemed to calm him for some reason. Maybe it was because it kept his mind off everything except what he was doing. He ignored the guys who came into the shop and tried to talk to him. One look from him was all it took.

The day crept by, and he tried to stay out of the kitchen and away from Tara. He wasn’t mad at her. She just made him feel … too much.

His stomach rumbled, reminding him he hadn’t eaten since the morning. After washing his hands, he walked in the back door. The sound of Tara’s laughter was the first thing he heard, and when he saw her taking a pie from the oven, it felt like the air had been sucked out of the room.

This was a dream he’d always had that he convinced himself he’d never achieved—the love of a good woman who made a home for him and baked him pies.

“Traeger, are you okay?”

He focused on Tara as she looked at him worriedly.

When was the last time anyone worried about him?

Jesus, he needed to get away from her. “I’m good. I’ll see you later.”

“Okay.”

He walked away and up to his room, where he showered and then lay down on the bed. He knew he was being a pussy hiding in his room, but until he got his head on straight, he didn’t want to face anyone.

Fuck, the happiness on Tara’s face was something he hadn’t seen on anyone he knew until her. The fact he was part of it made him feel good, but at the same time, it scared the hell out of him.

His stomach started demanding food when he realized it was dinner time. He didn’t want to face anyone, but he’d never been a pussy. He’d show them all that she didn’t affect him and that he was still his own man.

Tara walked outside with Amelia to see the woman Bull brought hanging off Fury. She relaxed when he pushed her down. When she made her way to Traeger, she expected him to do the same thing. Instead, he looked Tara straight in the eyes and put his arm around the woman. Several of the guys looked back and forth between the two.
