Laura iced me, but now we’re playin’ pretend to keep her safe. The closer we get, the less it feels like just a show.
I ain’t no damn hero—just looking out for my Steel Demons brothers.
That’s what I thought till I met Laura, a hot nurse in the ER who patched me up with some serious sass. I knew I wanted her, but she turned me down cold. Gave her space, hoping for another shot.
Fate threw her back my way when she witnessed a murder and those Los Ochos bastards tried to nab her. I fought ’em off and told her to fake being my old lady for MC protection till the heat died down.
What started as a fake setup quickly turned into real trouble. Every touch, every glance lights me up.
I keep telling myself it’s for her safety—not ’cause I can’t stop thinking about her, not ’cause I crave her, and damn sure not ’cause she’s the hottest thing I’ve seen.
But pretending ain’t cutting it anymore.
I need to make her mine for real. With unseen forces gunning for us, I gotta step up, be the hero she needs, or risk losing her for good.
