It was the whole Lawless package.

Especially his intelligence, which was a massive aphrodisiac.

And his scary determination to look after her.

“You marked my black soul when you were young, angel. It’s burned ever since. You’re my eternal addiction, the obsession that will never wane. You picked a psycho to love, there are no get out clauses.”

Lips twitched. He made love sound like such a threat.

Because he knew it made her knees weak, he husked in Italian how much he loved her while he bit her neck.

This cold, aloof, caring man, the infamous biker enforcer, this dazzling genius, this beautiful villain claimed her a long time ago, long before Angela had a clue about it. Someone else might find that scary, disturbed even. But not her.

She’d never felt love like it.

She fell in love with Lawless on the most horrifying night of her life.

It wasn’t sexual. Not then.

She didn’t want to kiss him. Not then.

But she fell in love with her whole shattered heart.

She fell in love with her villainous hero, who let her sob but assured she would be okay because she’d grow strong to take care of herself.

And on countless days after that, she fell in love.

And she would love him for the rest of her life and beyond.

There was no doubt about it. Lawless would stalk through hell to find her.

She looked into his dark, monstrous eyes and wasn’t scared.

She saw everything she wanted.

Her future.

An unpredictable life.

Her love.

Her Lawless man.

Comfort.

Safety and freedom to run wild, knowing he’d be there always to catch her.

Promises and needs came with a pulsing love, and it was all Penn.

After a kiss that set her hair on fire, he put Angela back in her seat, even reached over and buckled her in. Then he palmed her thigh, leaving it there as he pulled out into traffic again.

That night the club would celebrate patching in the prospects to full brothers, and then they had Tag’s fight in Lakewood.

Angela was fully committed to the biker lifestyle.

One day she’d work with them alongside Lawless, Rider, Zara, and the rest.

And there were no doubts about what she set her heart on.
