Muerto nodded.
“Is this for real, dude?” Goldie looked at him in disbelief.
Another nod. “I’m in love with her.”Why the fuck am I telling my brothers? I’m acting like a club girl who talks about her feelings.
All the brothers but Steel stared at him in disbelief. Muerto knew they were uncomfortable about what he said. They didn’t talk about women in that way. And they didn’t talk about sappy feelings, only tough ones that dealt with kicking someone’s ass or annihilating a rival club. A brother voicing that he loved a woman was outside their realm.
“Fuck it,” he grumbled. He pushed his chair back and walked out.What the hell made me blurtthatout?The truth was he was over the moon about Raven and he’d never experienced such intense feelings about anyone other than his family and brothers. Each time she popped into his head, his heart smiled and his cock twitched. She was so much more than just a girlfriend.
He took out his phone and sent a text to her.
Muerto:Thinking bout u.
When a ping came back he smiled.
Raven:I was thinking bout u 2. Then u texted. Cool.
Muerto:I have tonight off. Want 2 take u for a steak dinner.
Raven:Sounds nice. Fancy place?
Muerto:Ya.
Raven:Even nicer. Get to dress up.
Muerto:Pick u up @7.
Raven:Can’t wait.
Muerto:I love u.
Raven:♥u 2.

Muerto sucked inhis breath when Raven came out of the bedroom in her high-heeled sandals and black formfitting dress. She was breathtakingly beautiful and elegantly sexy. She spun around. “You like it?”
“Fuck yeah. You look gorgeous. We’re gonna have to take your car. I’m pretty sure you don’t wanna go on the Harley.”
“Not dressed like this.” She laughed. “But I have to confess I’m craving another ride on your bike. I loved it.”
“Yeah, Harleys have that effect on women.”
“And so do the men who ride them.” She grabbed her clutch bag. “Are we ready to go?”
He cocked his head to the side. “In a minute. Come over here.”
Shaking her head, she giggled. “No way. I know that look and that tone of voice, and it means my makeup getting all messed up, my clothes wrinkled, and my bra and panties ripped. It took me too damn long to get ready for tonight.”
“I oughta smack your ass for disobedience,” he teased.
“You’ll have to wait to do that later. First you need to feed me.” She placed her hands on her stomach. “I’m starving.”
He winked. “You’re absolutely worth the wait. Let’s go.”
As he backed the car out of the driveway, he saw a figure in his peripheral vision by the tree across the street. He slammed on the brakes and the shadow vanished.
“What’s wrong?” Raven said as she braced against the dashboard.
