Chapter 22

Ivy

Zipping up my knee-high black boots, I smirked as I caught Axel checking out my ass in the mirror. Lacy and I had gone out shopping that morning and selected a short black leather skirt that barely covered my ass, a low-cut dark red halter top, and of course my sexy vixen boots.

I looked nothing like the Ivy that Axel had first met, and I had to admit; I kind of liked this look.

Of course, I would never wear this anywhere except for this night, but it still felt fun to dress up like someone else. Plus, the way Axel was drooling over me I knew it was definitely going to work for the bedroom too .

"I see you." I smiled as I stood to pull my hair back.

"I know you do," Axel spoke, as he sauntered over to me. Placing his hands around my waist he pulled me against his rock-hard chest. I could feel his heavy breaths burning against the sensitive part of my neck. Chills raced down my body as I trembled under his touch. Leaning down, he began to trail tiny kisses down my neck and over my shoulders.

A moan escaped my lips as Axel nibbled on my heated flesh.

"I shouldn't let you leave here tonight," he said, as he turned me around so that we were facing one another.

I couldn't help but notice the worry in his beautiful eyes.

"This is for you. I love you and I'm not stopping until we take Chuck down. There's nothing else to lose," I declared, praying he didn't really stop me from going.

This man held a power over me that I just couldn't explain. It was animalistic and dangerous and pure, raw love. I'd do anything for him.

Taking in a deep breath, Axel closed his eyes before placing his luscious lips on mine. Sweeping his tongue in my mouth, I tasted his need for me and it was oh so bittersweet.

I swear I felt like if Axel hadn't been holding me, my legs would have given out. I was like putty in his hands when he kissed me like that. Maybe this was a trick—his way of stopping me from seeing my plan through?

Parting our lips, Axel kissed me one more time before releasing me. "You are wrong about one thing. I have everything to lose if this plan goes wrong. If anything happens to you, nothing will stop me from killing every one of those bastards in Chuck's clubhouse. I know my club runs on the right side of the law, but with you, Ivy, I'll go down in a blaze of glory to hurt anyone that hurts you. You are my twin flame— my soul mate."

My breath faltered and I swear my heart stopped beating. This man who vowed to always withhold the promises of the Raven Clubhouse was willing to throw it all away for me. I knew now more than ever that what I was about to do was the best decision I would ever make.

"Axel, for you I would do anything. You are my heart now."

Just then a loud knock banged on my bedroom door. "Can you two hurry up? We gotta bar to crash," Jagger yelled from the hallway.

Looking at one another one last time, Axel grabbed my hand. "Let's go and show these assholes a true Bonnie and Clyde," Axel said as he led me out the door.
