Prologue
Ashton McGraw rubbed her eyes as she pulled her truck into the gas station. She had been on the road for two days and knew this was just a short layover before finishing her trip to Vegas. She looked over at Justice, her German Shepherd and grinned. He had his head hanging out the window with his tongue lolling out the side of his mouth.
"Not much longer boy and we will be settled for good. No more being on the road," she promised. Ashton put the truck into park and started to search her purse for her wallet. She glanced up briefly as she heard the roar of motorcycles pulling into the gas station as well before she refocused on finding her credit card.
Juice Ortiz whistled and nudged Jax Teller while motioning to the right of them. "Would you look at the ass on that one?" Jax tilted his head and ran his tongue over his bottom lip.
"God damn! Who is that?" he asked, eyeing the curvy brunette filling up a massive Chevy truck at the gas station.
"No idea, but I sure as fuck wanna get to know her," Tig Trager answered while strolling past them towards the woman in question. Jax sent Juice a mischievous smile and followed after Tig.
"Well hello there sexy," a deep voice said from behind her as a hand caressed her backside. Ashton sighed and mentally prepared herself for the annoyance that was coming. She had been on the road for too long and was too tired to deal with some creepy Lothario trying to get in her pants. She swung around and eyed the man in front of her. Especially a biker.
"Can I help you?" she asked politely, her Southern drawl creeping out. The one who had appointed himself speaker grinned lasciviously at her.
"Oh, you can help me all right," he answered suggestively. Ashton closed her eyes for a moment and sighed before opening them and training them on the pervert biker in front of her. He was running his eyes all over Ashton's body and to be truthful his gaze was slightly creepy. Ashton snapped her fingers in front of Tig's face, drawing all of their attention.
"Excuse me," she drawled. "My fucking eyes are up here, douche bag."
All three looked at the woman in shock. They couldn't remember the last time a woman had spoken like this to Tig. Most saw the crazy in him and gave him a wide berth. Jax grinned and looked her over closely. Dark brown hair that fell to midway down her back, big green eyes, and a curvy body tucked into faded, tight jeans and a white tank top.
"Now I don't know how y'all do it here, but where I come from a man asks nicely before grabbing a woman's ass. Now, how about y'all go climb on y'all's bikes and leave me the fuck alone," Ashton said with a steely look directed at the one in front. She turned her angry gaze towards the other two and got a slight shock as she caught sight of the blond biker. 'Doesn't look like any ol' biker we had in Tennessee,' she thought to herself.
'Jesus Christ,' Jax thought to himself as he reached to readjust himself. 'This broad is fucking hot.' He shot her a sexy grin and hushed Tig who had opened his mouth to deliver some scathing remark.
"Sorry about my friend here," Jax said. "We don't let him out of his cage very often."
"I'd suggest neutering and a shock collar. It works on most dogs," Ashton fired back with a smirk before turning to put the gas pump back into place. Jax and Juice snickered while Tig glared hatefully at her back.
"I'm Jax," Jax said then pointed to the others. "Tig and Juice."
Ashton raised an eyebrow. "Interesting. Do you know where I can find Elliott Oswald's place?"
Jax stilled and looked more in depth at the woman standing in front of him. "What are you wanting with good old Oswald?"
Ashton raised an eyebrow. 'Nosy fucker,' she thought to herself. "That's for me to know and you to mind your own fucking business about," she said calmly. All three men tensed.
"Ah, but I'll find out anyway, darlin'! Might as well tell me. Oswald will surely spill the beans," Jax smirked.
Ashton rolled her eyes. "Well, when Elliott tells you then you will know," Ashton responded with a fake smile. "It was nice meeting you fellows but I have to get a move on."
"Thanks for the welcome," Ashton threw over her shoulder as she climbed into the jacked up truck. Before any of the men could say another word she had started the truck up, put it into drive and started to pull off. She could find Elliott's place without the assholes' help.
Jax and his brothers' eyes met. "Well she looks like she could be fun," Tig replied to the look in Jax's eyes.
"Oh, most definitely," he murmured turning and watching the truck pull back onto the highway.
