“Please,” I plead.

As we’re looking into each other’s eyes, I feel him find my entrance and push. The feeling has nothing on the way his fingers were filling me. It’s too much and not enough at the same time.

When I gasp, he pauses, giving me time to adjust, but I shake my head. “No. Don’t stop. Need it so bad. Ache,” I babble, the words almost incoherent.

But he hears me.

He sees me.

He punches his hips forward and fills me with one thrust. My hands grip his shoulders, and my nails dig in. It’s a perfect moment, one that will live within us for the rest of our lives. Tanner shudders above me and then he starts to move.

Every time he fills me, I see stars in my vision. When he’s pulling out, I never want him to leave. It’s a dance I never thought I was missing out on. Now I know.

I was waiting. For him.

“Mine,” he growls as his fingers find my clit.

With a few strokes against my bundle of nerves, I transform. I’m no longer lonely and forgotten, no longer shunned. I’m shimmering. I’m bliss. I’m wanted.

Tanner kisses me hard and then the warmth of his cum fills me, tripping me into another orgasm.

It’s devastating. It’s life changing.

It’s forever.

Once he cleans me up, I fall asleep in his arms and know I’ll never be the same. And, surprisingly, the knowledge isn’t as scary anymore. Because I know he’s got my back.

CHAPTER 6

JOURNEY

People are looking at us. I’m used to it considering my past in Christmas Falls, but this feels like more. More attention. More judgement.

I have no doubt it has to do with the man standing next to me with all the confidence in the world. Our town isn’t used to seeing me with a man. Well, they better fucking get used to it.

Tanner is in my life now and I’m not letting him go. I spent far too long hiding in the shadows and trying to shake off my past. I’ll never understand why I was the only one who had to bear the weight of getting pregnant far too young. Harry was never held to the same standard as I was, and it burned.

This is why I normally do my grocery shopping for holidays early and try and come when there aren’t many people in the store. This time around it couldn’t be avoided. Okay, maybe it could have, but I’ve been enjoying my little bubble with Tanner. It was easy to ignore the outside world.

Considering tomorrow is Christmas and I want to make our burgeoning family a nice meal, we had to brave the grocery store.

I’m kind of regretting it now. There are so many people here and all of them have looked at us with various expressions on their faces.

I didn’t mind the curiosity, but the open disgust is making my stomach clench.

Is it for me? Is it because of Tanner?

There are people in Christmas Falls who have never been a fan of the motorcycle club. Their feelings are all based on assumptions and stereotypes. I’ve never heard of the club doing anything bad. In fact, I’ve heard about the things they do to help the community more than anything negative.

Still, some people are always going to judge based on appearance.

Sure, Tanner looks like a scary guy, but I know differently.

He is a big softie.

Okay, maybe that’s only when it comes to me and Shiloh. I’m more than okay with that. I love the way he treats us like we matter. It’s something I can’t remember feeling before.

I know Lane loves me and has my back. Hell, he got in trouble with some paparazzi over a year ago because the asshole dug something up on me and asked Lane about how I became a teen mom. The dude didn’t read the room and how pissed Lane got and kept pushing about it. Lane laid the guy out.
