“Are you trying to bribe me?” said Emily.
“Not at all. I did think,” said Luke, whispering in her ear, “that a diamond ring would be pushing it. I bought this the day of the accident and... well, let’s just say it belongs around your neck.” He put his arms around her waist and kissed her gently. “Are you willing to give us a chance?”
Emily looked into Luke’s eyes, and knew she wanted nothing more.
A ring chime filled the air. Luke grasped at his right pocket and took out his cell phone. “Sorry, Em but I gotta take this.” He stepped back and began pacing on the porch. “What? Shit! Yeah, I’ll be there in a few minutes.” He looked at Emily with apologies in his eyes as he shoved his phone in his pocket. “I’m sorry. I’ve got to go.”
Emily stared at him bewildered. “Is everything all right?”
“Honestly, Em. I haven’t a clue. It’s some serious shit with the club.” He kissed her quickly on the cheek and bounded down the steps to his bike.
Emily watched Luke roar down the street and wondered how things were ever going to work out if when she was supposed to stay clear of the Hades’ Spawn Motorcycle Club.
What kind of trouble were they both getting themselves into?
