I later found out that he had been the one that crashed into the back of the SUV when Savage took me. To this day I still couldn’t believe he had made it out of that wreck, and not only that, he had been able to make it down to rescue me. Oh, and take down Savage. I was sure that was the huge motivating point for him.

Life was pretty damn good. I had no complaints at all. I was loved and I was able to love in return.

“Babe? Did you hear a word I said?” Axe asked and I shook myself out of my daze.

“Huh? Sorry, what?” I smiled at him.

“Cresta said she’d watch Neiryn tonight.”

I shot him a confused look. I mean, I knew Cresta was Tank’s older sister and since Axe was very close with Tank’s family, that part didn’t really shock me. I just didn’t understandwhyshe was watching him. Had we made plans that I’d forgotten about?

“I’m taking you out tonight, baby,” Axe said and his face held that cute little unsure look that he sometimes got. He was up to something. But I always loved his surprises, so I was excited.

“Okay, but why?” I asked.

“One, because I fucking want to.” He kissed me and I waited for more. “Two, because I fucking love you and you deserve a magical—yes, fucking magical—night out. Three, because I know you’ve never really gone on a proper date. And four, I want to show your sexy as fuck ass off. I want everyone to know that this bitch is mine.”

His lips devoured mine and I melted into him. I couldn’t argue with any of those reasons.

“I’m sorry that club shit has been crazy for so long,” he said turning serious for a moment. “I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. I want to take you on your first real date. I hope you’re ready, baby, I plan to pull out all the stops tonight.” He winked at me, which caused me to giggle like a damn school girl.

“I don’t have anything to wear,” I said sitting up straight in panic.

If he was really going to take me out, then I felt like I needed to look my best. Plus, I wanted to dress up. It had been a long time since I’d had a chance to really go all out.

“Reagan will be over here in a few,” he said with a devilish smirk on his lips. “She’s got everything covered. I’m gonna go get Neiryn set up at Cresta’s while you chicks do your thing.”

“I hope you don’t expect to get laid tonight. A lady never has sex on a first date.” I said playfully batting my lashes at him.

“Oh, IknowI’m gonna get laid after this date. First, there is no way in hell I could stay away from this tight cunt.” He ran his fingers along the inside of my thigh. “And second, you are going to be begging for it by the time we’re done.”

He touched me, just briefly, long enough to prove his point.

I had no doubt that by the end of the night, not only would I let him in between my legs, but I’d be pleading for it as well.
