She was ten years old the first time she looked up at me with those wide, terrified eyes, asking me a question no child should ever have to ask— “Will you be my dad?”
She wanted safety.
Wanted out.
She wanted me to save her from the life she was a prisoner to.
But I couldn’t.
Not then.
Life and circumstance were not in my favor. So I did the only thing I could. I walked away and watched over her from afar.
Now, twelve years later, she’s standing on the doorstep of the Savage Knights MC, no longer a child— but a woman. Still scared, still desperate, and still in need of my protection.
I gave her a place to stay. Promised she’d be safe. But I never expected her to unravel me the way she does.
She’s off limits. Untouchable.
But every time she’s near, it gets harder to remember why I’m supposed to say no.
