Blake, and he sighed. “Think I’m gonna hand you over for revenge?” he asked. “Think I’m gonna let those fucks put their hands on her?”
He clasped Grace closer, and Lauren felt Blake’s hand in hers as he stood tall and gestured towards his crew. “Fuck burying them. Leave them to the birds. Take their colors,” Blake said. “We go now.”
The Night Riders rushed into action, and Lauren watched as the bloodied bodies were dragged away. Blake barked orders in every direction when she managed to grab his arm and turn him to her side.
“Blake, I—”
“Come with me.”
He pulled her away from the melee and sat her down in a dark shed as he pressed his hands to her face, his fingers seeming to search her skin before she rested his brow to hers.
“He touched you,” Blake muttered. “Even though I—”
“I’m okay,” she swore. “Blake.”
Lauren kissed his mouth, and she smiled into his lips as his arms surrounded her waist. As their mouths parted, Lauren found his eyes, and she read his expression perfectly. His eyes were full of want and need, and she was ready to follow him into the depths of hell when he seized her face and spoke fast.
“Now we’re really on the run,” he said. “Callie and Grace are in danger. We all are.”
Blake shuddered under her hold, and Lauren gripped his arms tighter as she stared into his moist eyes.
“And me?” Lauren whispered.
Taking her into his arms, Blake sighed into her hair, and he ran his hands down her back.
“Not if I do this.”
He pressed a pair of keys into her trembling hands and pushed a canvas cloth from a fresh bike.
“It’s gassed,” Blake said “Ready to go.”
Confused, even as she held the new set of keys in her hands, Lauren stepped to Blake’s side and reached for his face.
“You… you want me to go?” she gasped.
Blake groaned as he took her into her arms and held her close. Lauren nearly relaxed in his arms when he pushed her back and peered into her eyes.
“Last thing that I would ever want,” he started. “But you gave me last night. You… you made me believe…” His voice trailed off, and Lauren pressed her hand to his back, his scars resting under her touch, and she fell into him as he took a deep breath. “You made me believe that I could love someone again.”
“What?”
“Lauren…”
He dragged her face to her lips, and Lauren melted into his mouth as his lips surrounded hers. She savored his taste, and she sucked his tongue until she had no choice but to come up for air. When their eyes met again, he gestured towards the other bike, and Lauren cocked her head in total confusion.
“You’re sending me away?” she asked.
Blake groaned as he took her back in his arms
“Last thing I want,” he said.
“So… so why…?”
“Because the deal is broken,” Blake said. “Too much blood. And… and the cops are still coming.”
And that would bring her back to Drew. How could she even pretend to be happy with him again when there was a man that had killed for her and would risk his own joy to keep her safe?
“Give me the keys,” Lauren said.
Blake hung his head and helped her onto the bike, his hand trailing down the pinned fabric at her back.
“Wait until we’re gone,” he started. “Take off in the other direction. Get as far away from us as you can. And… and…”
Kissing her hard, he curled his arm around her, and when their lips parted, Lauren reached for him as he stepped away.
“I thought you never wanted to let me go,” Lauren said
“You think this isn’t killing me?” he challenged. “But it’s gonna get dark now,” he said. “Do you want to be on board for that?”
Lauren didn’t speak as he stepped from her view. Maybe he was right. Maybe this was too much for her to take, but as she saw Blake mounting his bike, she
