Seeing her tagged with someone’s fucking arm wrapped around her body with two cups of coffee sitting before them… I saw red.

Someone else was touching her.

Touching what was mine.

Shaking my head and putting it in my hands I tried to plan out where to go from here.

How to get her back so we could have a long overdue talk.

But the trick was getting her to fucking talk to me.

That was when I noticed a tattooed hand place my phone down in front of me, and then I heard, “Okay, what is going on with you and my daughter? Gave you my blessing. But… thinking about taking it back.”

“I did shit. Didn’t deserve her. By the time I figured it all out, hell, it was too fucking late apparently.” I nodded at my phone then.

“I raised her right then,” And without another word, he got up and started to walk away, but he stopped and speared me with a look, one such look that if I wasn’t the man I am, it would have shriveled my balls, “You make her cry one more goddamn time, brother or not, I’ll put a bullet right between your eyes.”

Therefore, I did the only thing I could do, to show him I meant everything I’ve ever said to him, that Raine was my world. I pulled my gun from the small of my back and offered it to him.

He looked at it, then took in my roughened appearance and asked, “Now, I want to know what the fuck you did.”

So, I told him what a fucking dumbass I was.

And where my head had been at.

He listened to every word that came out of my mouth.

And there he sat, for the longest time, not saying a fucking word.

Then he opened his mouth and said, “Okay, I’m going to help you. But let me make one thing perfectly fucking clear. If she takes you in with everything you’ve done, if you ever pull another stunt like this, don’t expect to be a brother. I’ll rip that kutte off, burn off our mark, and then I’ll kill you. Be damned of the consequences.”

I nodded as fast as I could.

That was when he sighed, pulled out his phone, and texted something.

Seeing my phone light up I opened his text and saw an address. “That’s her’s. That’s her present from me on her birthday. Whatever else happens heed my warning, yeah?”

I nodded, pocketed my phone, then headed outside, jumped on my bike, and headed for the address Storm had texted me.

Ten minutes later, when I pulled into a cute little house that screamed Raine, I couldn’t help but smile. Because my dumbass self didn't read her emails when she told me about her birthday present.

Knocking on her door, I checked the time. She should be here.

If anything from the emails I had read, one of them included her class schedule, she didn’t have classes today.

A smile broke out on my face just thinking about fucking seeing her.

Damn, what this woman did to me.

I was vibrating with energy, knowing any minute now, she was going to open that door, and I would finally have my say.

But I should have known it wouldn’t be that easy. Not when it came to her.

Because when she loved, she loved with her whole heart and soul. When she trusted, it was with absolute abandonment. And I had broken that. Not intentionally. But I still had done it.

I just needed to talk to her.

Tell her what happened.
