Payton. Damn, that’s just as pretty as she is.
“I’m Cage.”
“Is that your real name, or your street name?”
She must know something about club life. Either that or she watches thatSons ofcrap on TV. Those men give us a bad rap. We don’t deal in drugs. And we don’t ever lay a finger on a woman.
“It’s my road name.”
“Did you earn it because you stalk your prey like a caged animal?”
I’m biting back a chuckle. She must be gettin’ the sense that she’s my prey. She’s right about that.
“Somethin’ like that. Are you scared I might attack?”
She steps even closer, giving me a whiff of her perfume. She even smells tempting. Those red painted nails run down my arm, making every inch they touch prick with goose bumps.
“I probably should be scared.” That sultry voice is a mere purr, rubbing up my nerves and begging for a pet. “But I’m kind of hoping you will…attack.”
Fuck. This girl stepped right out of my damn fantasies and is staring up at me. It’s time to get her out of this place.
“You want to take a drive, doll?”
Her teeth sink right down into that full lower lip, and I can’t even fight the groan. I’m going to be the one grunting like a wild boar tonight. Riding her hard and dirty.
“Let me just go tell the girls I’m taking off.”
She turns and I watch as those hips strut right back over to her friends, undoubtedly giving that extra sway for my viewing pleasure. I’m going to sink my teeth into that ripe backside of hers as soon as I get her alone. Ravish that woman whole. I don’t intend to leave a single inch unmarked. She’s got me feeling like a caged animal now. My cock’s about to bust through my pants to get to her.

“I’m taking off, girls.”
“With him?” Meg swallows hard, looking past my shoulder. “No. I think that’s a bad idea, Pay. You don’t even know that guy.”
No, I don’t. And that’s what makes him so intriguing.
“Do you have your Mace?” Chassie asks. She’s the only one who’s smiling at me. But ever since I got back into town, she’s been urging me to go out and get laid. I finally found someone that actually piqued my interest and I’m going to go have me some fun tonight. My entire body is in flames, burning hot and ready. I don’t know if or when I’ve ever had this kind of reaction to a man before.
“Yes, I have my Mace. And if something goes wrong, I’ll text you our code word, and you can use the app to find me.”
“If something goes wrong, it could be too late,” Meg huffs, sounding just like Mom. “Payton, that guy is a Savage Knight. Don’t you remember what Daddy said about them?”
I do. He warned us girls to stay far away from the outlaw bikers. They’re dangerous, he said. Criminals. But I’m not getting the sense that Cage wants to hurt me. From the moment I laid eyes on him, I had a feeling about him. Something about those crystal-clear eyes drew me in. He reminds me of a lone wolf out on the hunt. Homing in on his prey. Quietly watching from the shadows. Waiting for his moment to pounce.
The connection was intense. An attraction so fierce it nearly made me trip over my feet when I saw him.
“Did you see the guy, Meg?” Chassie shakes her head at my sister. “He’s drop-dead gorgeous. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a man as good looking. Fucking a man like that is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You need to let your sister go and have some fun.”
She’s right about that. Men like him don’t come around too often. Or ever. The men of this town are just like my ex. Most of them are good friends with Callum too, which means they see me as being off-limits. Makes it hard for a girl to get a date around here. Especially when Call is still trying to claim me as his.
“Yeah, but I don’t want my sister to find herself buried out in the middle of a cornfield. He’s so tall and big. There’s no way she can defend herself against him. Just look at all those muscles and his skull tattoos. He looks deadly.”
I roll my eyes. “He’s not going to kill me, Meg. But I do hope he attacks every inch of my body.” It’s been way too long since I’ve had a man between my legs. And I’ve never been with a man like Cage. Someone dangerous. Someone who oozes sex with every blink of those gorgeous clear eyes.
Chassie bursts into a fit of giggles while Meg shakes her worried little head. She better not run home and tell our parents. They’re already giving me enough grief over everything as it is. I don’t need a lecture about running around town acting like a floozy and fraternizing with a bunch of lowlifes.
