Logan's an outlaw. Now he's a killer. He took me to his place to lay low, then left before I woke up.
I just want to hide and try and forget what I saw him do. How he killed so ruthlessly, and for what? To protect me? I can't be that important to him, can I?
I should have walked away the day he pushed me up against my car at scene of the accident, but I didn't. I let him take my wallet. Then, I let him come into my house. I let him take all of me. But I wanted him to.
He’s an animal, and he’s about to be backed into a corner. I just hope I’m still on his side when that happens.
An outlaw’s love will grow stronger than he ever thought possible…
Something about her eyes… draws me in. Drowns me.
A dead body, and now Cassie's in too deep to push away. I thought this was just going to be a little fling on the side, but now it's become much more. I never wanted her to see what I truly am. A monster capable of anything. I didn't know I still had that power in me, but when I saw that bastard standing over my woman, I only had one choice.
I need to talk to the club president. I need to talk to the brothers in my crew. I don't expect them to like what I have to say.
