Rays of sunshine sparkle on my face as I weak up. I softly open my eyes and Rover is still laying with me. Our hands are interwind, my small hand fits perfect in his big masculine hand. Even his hands are beautiful, my eyes trace the lines of the roses on his arm, ending in two cards on his hand a Queen of Hearts and a King of Spades. 

I study him while he's asleep. He has the most handsome jawline I have ever seen and his lips alone set my world on fire. If I could have guessed that kissing him would feel so heavenly, I would have done it the moment we met. 

Doubt starts creeping in my mind. Where do we go from here? I wanted to go back home last night, but now the thought of never seeing him again makes me sick. Could I be falling for him? So hard and fast that I am fucking scared? 

"Morning beautiful." His husky voice result in a smile on my face. "You have been staring at me for the last fifteen minutes. Do you perhaps want a picture?" He asks. God, can I be more embarrassing? I instantly turn pink and he laughs. 

Gently he wipes away a strain of hear and places it behind my ear. "You are still here" I softly whisper. "You sound surprised? Don't get me wrong, I am surprised myself. I usually don't stay for the night" Rover says. 

"I am sorry, I just assumed that after you knew you would ran." "Why would I ran from you?" He says as he study my face. I fiddle with my fingers. "Because I am a big goofy, virgin, nerd. And you are the most handsome, tough, cocky biker I have ever seen." He pulls me closer. "I like it when you call me handsome." I smile at him. 

"But don't underestimate yourself, you are the most beautiful girl I ever laid eyes on and believe me I have seen a lot of them. Your dark brown long curls and your beautiful green eyes, your sweet innocence and your sexy smile." I softly kiss him and straight away he pulls me even closer, holding me tight to his chest. I can feel his hands ran all over my body as I lose myself in yet another wonderful kiss. 

"I'll never let you go." Rover whispers. He says those words with so much warmth and love that I feel my belly burn, not the burning of lust and desire but something else. Maybe, just maybe love? 

Suddenly his phone goes off and he curses. "Alex I need you to be very quiet for a couple of minutes." He says deathly serious. I nod and he answer the phone still holding me tight with his other hand.

"Rover." He is silent for a couple of seconds and then answers; "Yeah, she is safe." He looks a bit lost in thought and I hear him say; "No I slept outside just like you told me to." He nods his head "I talk to her, I don't know if she want to." Through the phone I can hear Ranger yell 

"THEN MAKE HER, I AM THE BLOODY PRESIDENT. I DESERVE SOME ANSWERS."

Rover sighs he clearly is frustrated by this phone call. "Do you really think that acting like this will get you anywhere? She is maybe the only one who knows what happened to her. Stop acting like a jackass." I never seen anybody answer so calmly. He shuts the phone off and looks in my eyes. "Sorry about that." Rover says. 

 Suddenly he spots the suitcase packed in the corner of my room, ready to leave. "You are all packed. Are you planning on leaving?" he asks, his voices is filled with fear. "I was yesterday night, before I went out. But then I bumped into someone and now I don't know." I look in his eyes, because that's the truth. I want to stay to get to know Rover a bit more, but I also want to go home back to my parents. 

He smiles at me and places his big hands around my face. "Stay for a couple of days, just to talk to Ranger." Rover says. "Only to talk to Ranger?" "No love and to spend the days in my bed." He hugs me tight and places soft kisses all over my head, I giggle like a madly in love teenager. Wait do I still qualify for that?

Rover and I ride towards the bar, he is driving with his hand on my thigh and I actually like it. I decided to give Ranger another chance, if he is really as struck by grief as Rover says than he is worthy of another shot. 

We arrive at the bar and I study the place from out of my car. I feel so nervous, I can't describe the thought train running through my head. Rover almost drags me in by my hand, because I am so lost in my own head. As we walk in the bar the whole place turns quite, I can feel Rover tense next to me. He pushes me through the bar and right back towards that door, the entrance of Ranger's office. 

Luckily for me he isn't here yet. I shake as a leaf, I don't know if I will survive another confrontation with this man. But Rover is right I need to talk to him. I need answers and if there would be any change of me staying here, Ranger needs to approve it. "Love stop worrying, you'll do just fine." Rover says as he wraps his arms around me and I relax a bit. "Would you please stay here with me?" He nods and right in that moment in walks Ranger. When he sees us he immediately turns angry. He immediately start to shout at Rover.

"WHAT DID I TELL YOU?"

"WHAT DID I SPECIFICALLY FORBID YOU?"

"DO YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH?"

I am terrified, why is he doing this and then out of nowhere Rover's loud voice booms through the room.

"WHY ARE YOU ACTING LIKE THIS?"

Great now they are both shouting. The shouting has turned into a fight, they are standing so close to each other ready to rip each other's throat out. And I am squeezed in the small space between them. 

"DO YOU THINK THIS IS A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR THE CLUB?" Rover shouts. 

"SAY IT THEN, YOU ALWAYS HAVE WANTED IT." Ranger answers. 

I can't take this, I hate it when people shout and fight. This is all too much and then I do something that surprises even myself.

"STOP IT, BOTH OF YOU" I scream at the top of my lungs.
