The car stopped, "Gage" I said timidly, he looked at me and nodded telling me he was listening. "Why are you doing this? Taking me out." I clarified. "I like you" "And after you've gotten into my pants?" I asked bitterly, a look of pure rage crossed over his features. "Carter, I'm not here to get into your pants." He sounded strained I knew he was keeping himself from yelling right now. "Then why are you here?" "I don't know, you- you gave me a chance, you're different" he spoke his words making my heart physically hurt a little. "And no one has ever done that before. You damn near saw me a kill a guy and yet here you are battered and bruised giving me a chance" he motioned to me sitting in his car. "Carter I've never taken a girl out on a date before, I've never worried once about someone, I've never faced my fears for someone. I'm supposed to be selfish, I only do things for myself but here you come and you make me worry, and you make my head go blank and there's nothing I can do about it, and it drives me crazy" he spoke loudly out of frustration. That's the longest thing I've ever heard him say. Gage De'Marcos is the best underground street fighter in the business. One night he runs into Carter Chase, a student at a local college, and things get... well to say the least twisted. Gage is known for having toys, not committed relationships. He's dangerous and vulgar. Yet someone finally gives him a chance, and he's clutching onto her like his life depends on it. But he's claiming her heart at the wrong time in her life. She takes a cold bitter plunge into her past of contraband and every illegal activity possible. Can he possibly settle down? Can she stay away from her past? Can they survive each other's imperfections?
