Chapter 3

Axel

Damn, if she wasn't the hottest thing I had ever seen.

Sure, hot chicks came in and out of the bar and clubhouse daily, but no one had ever stumped me like she did.

Everything about her was wrong. Her hairstyle. Her preppy clothes. Her fearful eyes. She was so wrong for this place but at the same time, something about her being here felt so right.

I had to give it to her though, Ivy had balls. Most girls that looked like her would have run away screaming after seeing a bunch of bikers in leather vests drinking, but not Ivy. She stepped in with her friend and she owned the control of the room, even if she didn't realize it. It was funny too, because I watched my brother Drake drool all over her friend. I guess two Raven Boys were lucky tonight.

Even now, as I ride my bike around town to cool off, I can't get Ivy out of my mind. Her long, caramel colored hair looked fucking delicious. And her eyes. Those eyes seemed to mesmerize me, making me want to search through them into her soul.

I laughed a little to myself as I thought about how sassy she had been.

I rubbed the stubble on my jaw. "Ivy? Huh, like Poison Ivy from the comics?" I couldn't help but give her a lazy wink as I fell onto one of the bar stools.

Narrowing her eyes at me, I could tell Ivy was about to give it back to me real good. "Sure, you can think of me like that. If you mess with me, I can make you feel like you have been poisoned," she said with a quirk raise of her brow.

I swear I felt my heart stop. I had never had a girl smart back to me before. I kind of liked it.

Fuck, what is happening to me?

I allow the cool air to sweep through my hair as I push the accelerator and the bike jumps a little. I need speed. I need the rush of feeling the wind blowing through me. This is my release from the way I calm down after a long night at the shop where I am a mechanic or when I have had too many girls chasing after me. But tonight is different.

I need to think. I have no idea what these emotions are that are threatening to create a tornado inside my brain. My dick had come to full attention at the sight of Ivy, but so had my heart. I swear I felt it beat for the first time in a very, very long time.

I knew I would regret the decision I was about to make. I knew my brothers and buddies would give me shit for weeks. But I didn't care. I had to get to know Ivy and to understand what this spell was she had on me.
