    THIS WAS NEVER SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN.

    A forbidden tryst. An unexpected surprise.
    A boy and a girl who were never meant to be together.

    WHO IS HE?

    A biker. An inked rebel. A playboy with a million notches on his belt.
    A.k.a., the last man on earth I should ever be with.

    But also, the only man I've ever loved.

    WHAT DOES HE WANT?

    My body. My heart. My soul.
    And - *gulp* - his baby in my belly.

    WHAT'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN?

    He's going to take me, or say he says.
    He whispers in my ear that I'll never forget his hands on me.
    Bending me over.
    Pushing me down.
    Teasing me to my peak – over and over again.

    But being with him is strictly forbidden.
    There are rules in our little corner of the world.
    And the punishment for breaking them is too severe to even imagine.

    But that doesn't stop me from dreaming of him. Night after night after night.

    HOW'S IT ALL GOING TO END?

    With tears and heartbreak. That much is guaranteed.
    A man like Jax can never stick around.
    Especially not with a diehard motorcycle club demanding his utter loyalty.

    He won't be with me. He can't be.

    But then my belly starts to grow.
    And everything starts to change along with it.

      There are rules in our little corner of the world.

      And everything starts to change along with it.

      Chapter 1

      Leaving home nearly as soon as she arrived, Lena’s mind whirled as Deerfield started to slip from her view again. No stopping for gas or to purchase a fresh pack of smokes from Mac Arnold, and she quietly hoped that Jax had taken the time to stock up on both fronts. Because they had to keep riding hard.

      And in short order, she would need a drag.

      Jax avoided the exit ramp and cut across the railroad tracks, just avoiding the gate as it started its slow descent and a train’s horn blared in the near distance. She closed her eyes and almost feared a fatal crash, but Jax hit the gas harder and winked at her from over his shoulder.

      Got to move fast, he said. Can’t let even one thing hold us up.

      Even as that made all kinds of sense in her mind, Lena’s heart still pounded in her chest as the train moved at a quick clip behind her back. Her hair whipped in the wind behind her neck, and she clung to his was waist as she lifted her lips to his ear.

      Don’t take too many chances, she cried over the roar of his engine. We want to get where we’re going in one piece, right?

      That’s the plan, Lena. And come hell or high water, I’m sticking to it.

      Turning off the main road, Jax slightly slowed his chopper as his tires dug into a thin strip of dirt resting under a canopy of trees. The cover of the branches caused her to feel somewhat more secure, but as they moved deeper into the woods, as Jax kept veering left then right then back again, she lost all sense of direction. If something were to happen to his bike right now, if one of his tires were to catch on a stray stone or a fallen twig, Lena had to wonder how she would even take two steps in the right direction much less make her way home – not that going back was really a viable option, but she struggled to steady her trembling hands against his broad chest as they kept drifting farther and farther into the unknown.

      Lena? For a split second, Jax’s palms abandoned the handlebars, and he pressed her fingers close to his heart.

      Again he started to look at her, and Lena wanted more of his eyes; it was the only familiar sight at hand. But as the bike hit a rut in the road and Lena’s worst fears seemed on the verge of coming true, she abandoned his hand and forced his face back to the narrow road. I’m fine, she insisted. Just... just keep riding.

      He kissed her fingers quickly before his entire focus was back on the way ahead. Sliding up a slope, Jax gunned the bike again as they drifted downhill, and a light scream left Lena’s lips. It’s okay, he promised. I’ve done this a hundred times.

      You’ve had to get the hell out of a dodge on, like, a moment’s notice? Lena asked.

      Tested the waters a few times. Just wanted to be sure of every way out.

      Jax offered nothing else, and Lena sighed as the road flattened again. But her mind still rolled around the idea of him always thinking of escape. Was that something new or something he failed to share with her in days gone by? Keeping her questions to herself, Lena settled into the glide and started to mind the gravel and dirt smacking against her ankles less and less when Jax finally slowed to a proper stop and dismounted.

      Rest for a minute? he asked.

      Do we have the time to spare?

      Couple seconds won’t kill us.

      That remained to be seen, but she hoped he was right. Curling her arms around his neck, Lena let him lift her from the bike and held him tight as she slid down his chest, her toes barely touching the ground as she gazed up into his eyes.

      You doing okay? he asked.

      Lena answered him with a slow kiss, and she sighed into feel of his lips surrounding hers. Jax’s hands moved up her back and, when his touch settled in her hair, she drew him even closer. All was silent, save for a few birds chirping and the breeze blowing through the trees. She shuddered against the wind, but warmth of his hold poked under her skin and swirled around her soul. Wanting more of him again, all of him, she started to fall to earth when a sharp crack pierced her ears.

      What was that? she asked in a quivering voice as Jax pushed her behind his back and drew his gun.

      Stay here, he ordered as he started to pull away from her.

      Like hell I am.

      Lena, don’t argue with me.

      I’m didn’t come all this way with you just to get left behind in the woods, Jax. She gripped his arm and fixed him with a sure stare.

      He started to speak, but suddenly his shoulders sagged in resignation as he patted her back. Just be sure to stay close, he whispered. Where I can keep an eye on you. Stealthily slipping through the trees, Jax kept the barrel of his gun aimed at the open air, his eyes shifting every which way as they stepped together.

      Lena saw nothing, heard nothing else, and she imagined Eric Stiles lying in wait, ready to injure his stepson or worse. What would happen to her if she fell into his hands? Her uncle barely had a leg to stand on, and without Jax’s protection, she feared that she-—What was that?

      Lena’s sharp cry lifted towards the branches, and she clung to Jax’s back as his finger tightened around the trigger. She could almost hear the bullet leaving the chamber when Jax pulled the gun back to his side and laughed lightly.

      What’s the matter with you? she asked.

      Take a look, Lena.

      Peering through the crook of his arm, Lena spied a frightened doe trying to make its way through the glade, its shiny hooves snapping twigs into smaller bits of bark. When the animal saw them staring at her, she seemed unsure of her next move, and Lena lifted her body against Jax’s back and smiled softly. Here we thought someone was after us, she said.

      Bet this one thinks it’s the other way around.

      Jax started to step forward when the doe suddenly bolted. Leaping over a fallen tree, the animal scampered off into the distance,
