“Why are you doing this for me?The real reason, Storm.”I pin him with a stare.
“Because I can't live without you in my life and I couldn’t risk you leaving town.”
He sinks his teeth into his bottom lip and waits for me to respond.He fidgets as I take longer and longer to react.
But there’s only one way to react to what he just said.
I leap into the air and wrap my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist.Storm places an arm under my butt to keep me from falling and the other snakes around my waist.
“What are you doing, Little Fox?”He murmurs.
“What I’ve always wanted to do,” I whisper as I crash my lips into his.
Storm stands frozen for a moment before his arms tighten around me.He tilts his head to the side and deepens our kiss.He moves and places me on the cool metal counter.I gasp as the chill seeps through my clothes and he takes the opportunity to deepen our kiss even more.He tastes like peppermint and I'm never going to forget it.I’ve been dreaming of kissing him for as long as I can remember.
“What are we doing, Dixie,” he groans as he pulls back and rests his forehead against mine.
“I thought it was obvious, but maybe I'm doing it wrong if you’re unsure,” I sass him.
“That’s not what I meant and you know it… I'm not what you want.”
“You’re all I’ve ever wanted, Storm.”
“But I can't put you first.The club will always come first.”
“You did put me first.You went to my dad.You made sure to get my feelings heard and then you did something about it.”
“We can't date.He’d have a field day.You know the rules.”
“We can do whatever we want, he just can't find out.”I grin as I close the distance between us and kiss him again.
Chapter 15
Storm
Aswedrivethroughtown, I reach over and place my hand on Dixie’s thigh.It’s so nice to be able to touch her and not worry about how she’s going to react or if I should be doing it.
I know I shouldn’t be.I should run in the opposite direction of her and keep the walls firmly standing around my heart when it comes to her.I wasn’t lying, Porter will lose it.I might get kicked out of the club.Honestly, he might kill me.
Yet, I can't seem to find the will to care.
The beautiful smile that stretched across her face when she was talking to Artie and realized why we were at the restaurant… I’ll remember that smile on my death bed.She was so happy knowing her dreams would come true.
“What are you thinking about?”Dixie places her hand over mine and strokes my skin gently.
“How long it will take before Porter finds out I kissed his little girl.I'm wondering if he’ll make it fast when he kills me or will he draw it out and torture me.”
“He won't kill you.”I glance over at her just in time to see her roll her eyes.
“I think you’re confused.I'm talking about Porter Reeves, the president of the Savage Wolves, of course he’d kill me.I’ve seen him kill men for less.”
Dixie is silent as she stares out the window.She’s nibbling on her bottom lip, something she does when she’s deep in thought.
“Sometimes it’s hard to remember he’s more than a dad.When I look at him, I don’t see someone who would harm anyone, but I'm not stupid.I know he’s killed in the past and I'm sure he will again in the future, but that’s not the man I know.”
“We’re not the good guys, Little Fox.You know that.”
“Do you ever hurt innocent people?”She asks softly, almost like she’s afraid of the answer.
