Avery sat down on a bar stool. “I don’t know what we’re doing. I mean, the sex is like…I can’t describe it’s so good but, it’s more than that. But Sonny is Sonny. He’s never been one for relationships. Even though he says he wants to be exclusive, for now.”
“Nate was the same way, once upon a time.”
“But that’s different. You were friends first. And we could see how much Nate loved you right from the start.”
Rochelle nodded. “You did, but I didn’t. I knew he was attracted to me, but I wasn’t sure I was ready to love again. Or if he did either.”
“I guess only time will tell,” Avery sighed.
“Follow your heart. It may be risky, but the reward is so worth it.”
“And if he breaks it?”
“It’s better to feel that pain than nothing at all.”

SONNY
After a long discussion with Xander and Dante and the rest of the crew about the plans for tomorrow night, Sonny headed home.
Grabbing a beer from his fridge, he slipped out to his back deck and watched the clear night sky, the stars like a blanket of diamonds.
For the first time ever, Sonny was conflicted about a job.
Normally he’d consider Avery’s involvement more of a pain in his ass than anything else. But the thought of anything happening to her, of the Death Riders hurting her or worse, had his cool demeanor running hot. His brothers thought he had ice water in his veins. But it turned out, that was far from the truth. A possessive instinct he’d never known had burst to life inside of him and he was so surprised by it, he didn’t recognize himself.
Fighting the urge to lock Avery in the bunker again, he wondered what the hell was going on with him. He’d fucked a lot of women, but he’d never gotten so riled up by one. And the fact that he wanted Avery again, like a drug addict needing their next fix, should have been all the warning needed. But he didn’t fight it. Them being together was better than good. He didn’t know why or what tomorrow would bring but the ache in his chest, somewhere near his heart, was telling. Not one to fight his desires, he let his thoughts about him and Avery wander. And every dirty fantasy that replayed in his mind had one blonde witch in the starring role.
The back door creaked, and Sonny whipped his head around.
“Got room for me?” Avery asked as she strolled out onto the deck.
Sonny spread his legs and patted his thigh. “Right here, baby.”
Avery came closer and he smelled vanilla and citrus. Freshly showered, she was entirely too edible. Sonny moaned when she finally slid onto the lounger, in his lap. She leaned back and he wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her tightly. Nudging her hair aside, he ran his nose down her neck and tasted her skin with his lips. His cock was painfully hard as her ass rubbed against him.
“You ready for tomorrow?” she asked.
Sonny’s grip grew tighter. “No. I don’t want you to go.”
Avery jolted and made to get up, but he wrapped his legs around her and held on. “But…but I know that it’s what we need to do. I just don’t want you to get hurt.”
Avery relaxed in his arms again and turned her head to look up at him. “I’ll be fine. I’m tougher than I look.”
“I know you are. But I am all kinds of fucked up over you and it’s making me crazy.”
Avery took hold of Sonny’s hands and brought them up to her lips, giving each palm a heated kiss. Her lips sparked a reckless passion that Sonny couldn’t deny.
“I’m fucked up over you too, so we’ll be crazy together,” Avery chuckled and the sound reverberated in his chest.
“You know what would make me feel better?” he whispered.
Avery replied by taking his hand and sliding it between her legs, the rough denim fabric a barrier he wanted gone.
“Do you trust me?” he asked, and Avery turned in his arms.
“Yes.”
