she?”
    “Yeah. You get the feeling that everything is right in our world?”
    “You mean that relaxed, contented feeling? Yeah, I’m feeling it. Hell. If she turns us away, I don’t know what we’ll do. I can tell by your tone that you’re already getting attached, and so am I. I think I may have bonded to her the moment I smelled her.”
    “It felt pretty incredible to have her on the back of my bike tonight. I know she was scared, and she probably still is, but I don’t think I can let her go.”
    “Then we won’t. When it comes time for her to make a decision, we won’t take no for an answer. Hell, we’re shifters and bikers, since when do we wait and see what someone else wants? We don’t! We take what we want and to hell with everyone else.”
    Crash chuckled.
    “Get some sleep, bro. I have a feeling tomorrow will be intense. Blitz is going to want to go after those creeps that escaped tonight. And I’m with him. I don’t want them coming after Willow.”
    “Me neither. Maybe one of us should volunteer to ride with him and the other stay to guard Willow.”
    Burn snorted. “Do you honestly think Blitz is going to let us do that? No. He’s going to want both our asses on the hunt. He’ll probably assign Prospects to watch over her, which I’m not too thrilled about. Maybe we can at least get him to leave someone behind. Hell, if Blaze will bring Luna here for safe keeping, then I know Blitz will assign someone to guard duty.”
    “We’ll discuss it with him tomorrow. Night, Burn.”
    “Night, Crash.”
    Burn buried his nose in Willow’s hair and sniffed. Damn, but she smelt good!
    Whatever she’d washed with only seemed to enhance that delicious scent that rolled off her. Her scent reminded him of Christmas: sugar cookies, peppermint, and pine. It figured his mate would remind him of his favorite holiday. He wondered if Crash smelled the same thing, or if she reminded him of something else.
    Closing his eyes, he forced his mind to slow so that he could get some rest. Even as he relaxed more, he was hyper-aware of Willow lying in his arms. He hoped like hell they got to fall asleep like this every night for the rest of their lives. He’d never wanted a mate so much before, but Willow was worth the life sentence to one woman.

Chapter Three

    Willow stretched and frowned when she felt pinned down. She was used to
    being tied to a chair at night, but for some reason, she was in a bed. Her eyes slowly opened and stared hard at the man lying next to her. His hand was on her waist and one of this thighs was wedged between her legs. As she took in the strong lines of his face and his dark hair, bits and pieces of the previous day came back to her.
    She was no longer with the Double Deuces. There had been a fire, and she
    remembered a tiger coming to her rescue…no, not a tiger. The man lying next to her. A shapeshifter. She studied him while he slept, then remembered there were two of them.
    A glance behind her, showed the bed was empty except for the two of them. If Burn had slept with them last night, then he was already gone for the day.
    It was nice, being this close to him. Comforting. He didn’t terrify her like the others had. While he was part of an M.C., he seemed…gentle. At least, he was with her.
    He’d been very polite and had seemed genuinely concerned about her last night. When he’d noticed her swaying on her feet, he’d tucked her into bed and asked if she needed anything else. While her stomach had rumbled from lack of food, she had been too damn tired to eat, so she’d closed her eyes and within minutes she’d been out.
    Now that it was morning, her stomach was reminding her that it had been
    almost twenty-four hours since she’d had a bite. Feeding her hadn’t been high on the Double Deuces’ list. She didn’t want to wake Crash, but she had a feeling the President of the Steel Riders didn’t want her poking around without an escort either, at least until she made a
