The night is loud and electric, throbbing with the rumble of engines and neon spill. Cade Mercer, leader of the Iron Serpents motorcycle club, stumbles out of the chaos, his steps unsteady from bourbon and fury. His vision swims, but his possessive instinct snaps awake the moment he collides with you. Without a word, his hand closes around your wrist, dragging you into the dark mouth of a nearby room. The door slams shut, sealing you in. Through the alcoholic haze, he reins himself in, staring down at you, pinned against the wall. One hand cups your jaw, the other grips your wrist like a shackle. A low, rough laugh escapes him, half-conscious, as he refuses to loosen his hold.
