“Hey, your sister has been blowing up my phone,” Dad tells me as I come out of my room.

I shrug and check on Mikayla. “I don’t want to talk to her right now.”

“All right. You still sure about tonight?” he asks, sounding different than his usual hard self.

“Yes, I am. Anara said she’ll watch Mikayla.” Anara is the woman that Dirty wants, but she won’t give him the time of day, I don’t blame her. We’ve talked a lot since I met her, and she wants that fairy tale kind of love. She knows with Dirty, he’ll never be faithful, so she doesn’t even want to chance it. I think she’s wrong, though. Yeah, I know most of the men in the Untamed aren’t faithful to their women, but Dirty seems different. He seems as if he has a heart and would hate to hurt the woman he loves.

“Let me know if Slammer needs a beat down, you know I would love to dole out that punishment,” he says, grinning scarily.

At first, I was gonna say no to Slammer, thinking he was joking, but when I saw he was serious, I said yes. Anyone that can go to my dad and ask for permission to date me, well that’s saying something. And the kiss he gave me after I said yes, I’ll never forget it. I’ve never been kissed like that in my life, not even by Dray. I swear it was the best kiss ever. It was full of such passion and longing. I didn’t want it to end.

After he left, I started to second guess the date. Would it be too soon to move on? It’s been months, but I don’t know. After that kiss, I don’t know anything anymore. I’m just scared I’m gonna get hurt again, and I not sure if I could handle it, especially with Mikayla. We’re a package deal. Her father already hurt her, I don’t want another man doing it too, even if she’s too young to understand it yet. But then again, I haven’t had sex in months, and that kiss left me hornier than I’ve ever been. If Slammer hadn’t left when he did, I would have jumped him. But tonight, if Slammer keeps his promise of more of those kisses, I’m totally getting laid.

There is no reason I shouldn’t have fun and try to move on with my life. Sure, I still think about what Dray and I could have had, but then I remember he’s a lying sack of shit. I have to think about doing what is right for me and my daughter, and right now, that is staying here and going on this date tonight.

“All right, well, while you were in the shower, I put condoms in your top drawer by your bed. Be safe, and for fuck sake, please don’t be too loud. I do not want the cameras I have in the hallway pickin’ up sex noises from my own damn kid. I’ll be back after your fuckfest.”

Even though I'm embarrassed at the thought of the cameras picking up any sex noises,I giggle, reaching out to squeeze his arm, I lean in and kiss his cheek. “Love you, Daddy.” Sure, he’s a bad man, but Tori was right when she said he was a good father. He’s made me feel safe, just as safe as I felt when I grew up living with the Angels.

“Love you too, kid,” he says gruffly and stomps to his room, shutting his door.

Slammer arrives right on time and surprises me even more because he didn’t come on his bike, he’s in a newish looking truck.

I open the door as he bounds up the front steps and he grins at me. “Didn’t think you could get more beautiful, but you proved me wrong.”

I feel myself blush, and I smile at him. “Well, where are we going?”

“Figured we could go to the Ale House, that work for you?”

“Never been, always up for trying new things.”

He grins. “Good to know.”

As we drive to the restaurant, he tells me his real name is Caden and that apart from the club, he makes custom furniture.

When we get to the restaurant, we talk more about our lives, me telling him everything about my life up until now, him telling me about his.

“Gotta tell you though, being honest here, I’ve never in my life had a serious relationship before. Booty calls, fuck buddies, one-night stands, but never an actual relationship.”

I bite my lip, unsure of what to say.

“But you’ll never have to worry about me stepping out on you, ever. I want you, I’ve made no secret of that, so you gotta know I won’t ever hurt you in that way. I’m sure I’ll fuck up sometimes, I’m a man, it’s what we do, but never in that way. Get me?”

“Um, yeah, I get you.”

“Good.” In this moment I can’t help but fall for him. He sure has a way with words.

“So, where do you live?”

“Don’t got a place of my own right now, just living at the club house, but this goes the way I intend for it to go, I’ll be buying a place, and soon.”

I blush, holy shit, hereallylikesme.

“How many kids you want?” he asks suddenly.

“Uh, I don’t know, two or three more, maybe? Why do you wanna know?”
