♦ FIRST DRAFT ♦ **************************************************************** "Shh." He whispered into my ear. But, I couldn't. My chest was heaving and my heart was pounding a mile a minute. And it didn't exactly help that I had a gorgeous six-foot-something guy pressed up against me. "Where the hell is she?!" Someone shouted. They sounded so close. Breathing was getting harder to do. My hands fisted tighter in the sides of his shirt. I could hear their feet crunching the gravel a few feet away. "Shit." He muttered. "I'm in the light." My back was pressed against the brick wall and he was pressed up against me. He stepped impossibly closer. I really thought I was starting to lose my shit. He looked down at me. "You gotta calm down." "I can't." I whispered, shaking my head. I looked up at him, my breathing becoming louder. The crunching was probably thirty feet away. Something flashed in his eyes when we heard the feet coming around the corner. I think I was about to pass out. Then, he grabbed both sides of my face and pressed his lips against mine. **************************************************************** When 21-year-old Harley Davidson moves to Evansville with her ex-biker father, she hopes that it can be the fresh start that they both need. A new house. A new job. Maybe even a new guy. But, you can't just leave a biker club without telling anyone... Harley's father, Joey, didn't exactly leave the club the way you're supposed to. Now, his old biker buddies are coming around with one thing on their minds: Revenge and Retaliation. And they may have just found her. **************************************************************** I started this in 2013 and left it for 6 years with only 5 chapters. I started it again in early 2019, so the writing style changes drastically. So, please power through the first 5 chapters! It gets much better!
