the waist they’d kissed passionately. A knock at the open door interrupted them just as things were getting heavy and Logan popped his head in, watching the pair with a knowing smile. Unfortunately he asked Nate to deal with a customer outside who was causing problems.
Deanna had come to realise during the time she worked at the garage that even though Nate treated her with patience and nothing but tenderness there was another side to him. He didn ’t take any shit, was completely professional at all times, which gained him the respect of every member of the club, and he could be quite intimidating when the need arose. She saw not only her gentle giant but also the true President of the club and her feelings for him grew stronger each day. Power was definitely an aphrodisiac.
Bruce ’s wife was due any day and they were both excited at becoming parents for the first time, Bruce spending most of his time at home. Logan and Heather were still going strong, he spending most of his time with her when not at the garage or clubhouse, and was hardly ever at the house anymore.
Megan and Fraser had finally admitted to Logan they were seeing each other and he had taken the news surprisingly well. Deanna thought it helped that he was in a good relationship, which was why he didn ’t object, he only wanted his sister to be happy.
Deanna eventually confided in Nate more of her past traumas so he could understand why she needed for them to take things slowly. He was the perfect gentleman about it. She had embarrassingly explained that she wasn ’t really sexually experienced. A failed high school relationship and then, because of the loss of her parents, she hadn’t been interested in men until she had met Lee and he had had no interest in pleasing her in any way.
Every night he was free from the club they spent time together and were usually the only ones left in the house. He helped Deanna bathe Holly and put her down to sleep. Afterwards he would give her a lovely kiss goodnight before going to his own room.
Deanna walked into the house after a shift at the garage and sat down to catch up with Megan. Her friend told her that Holly had been trying to walk by herself and Deanna was thrilled. Her little girl was growing up so quickly, her first birthday was less than a month away in April. She already had a few ideas of what she wanted to buy her, knowing Holly ’s first birthday would be brilliant with all their new friends around.
Deanna had a quick shower before Megan left for a date with Fraser. As she left the bathroom wrapped in a towel she was startled to find Nate standing in her bedroom putting a sleeping Holly in her cot. She stood staring at him as he turned to her, his eyes wandering slowly down her body wrapped only in a short towel.
“Hi. Has Megan left yet?” Deanna asked shyly.
“ Aye, she left just after I got in. Holly fell asleep as soon as I picked her up.”
Deanna smiled at Nate, a little unsure of what to say as her wet hair dripped down her back. Nate saw that she was nervous so he turned to leave the room to get a drink.
The flare of lust Deanna could see in his eyes empowered her and the ache she had started to feel since meeting Nate was demanding his touch. She had been too scared of rejection before but now suddenly, for the first time, she felt brave enough to make the decision to take things further with him.
“ Nate, don’t I get a welcome kiss?” she said, looking up at him with mischief in her eyes.
He turned to her with a raised eyebrow. “You want a kiss? You’ll have to come here,” he said as he crooked his finger, beckoning her forward.
She smiled at his challenge and slowly walked across the room towards him, swaying her hips, hoping she looked seductive. She stopped in front of him, boldly staring straight up into his eyes. Reaching up she wrapped her hands into the hair at the back of his neck and pulled his head down for a kiss.
