And in exchange for helping me, Granite wants something that only I can give him… A baby. I have no choice but to agree. But with each night spent bending over for the biker, a new thought pops into my head: I started out doing this for my brother. Now, am I doing this for Granite, too? GRANITE I could never resist a damsel in distress. But I’m sure as hell not a knight in shining armor. In exchange for getting this princess out of trouble, I want some payment for my time.

Getting him out of there won’t be a walk in the park. But Allison’s curves make all the blood and suffering worthwhile. Every night with her makes me crave more and more. And when she tells me she’s pregnant with my child, everything changes. I’m no longer in this just to get my rocks off. I’m here to protect my family. No matter what it costs me.
