By Kathryn Thomas

Hawk's Seduction is book 2 of The Caged Kings MC trilogy. Book 3, Hawk's Redemption, is available everywhere now!

HAWK WANTS MY BODY… AND I’M ABOUT TO LET HIM HAVE IT.

He looked like a bad boy.
Turns out, he was worse than I ever imagined.
Violent, angry, a criminal, a killer.
But when he stares me down, all I want is to submit to his darkest desires.

Letting myself fall for him was the worst mistake I could have made.
But how could I say no?

He was sexy.
He was dark.
He was everything I’d ever dreamed of, wrapped in a leather jacket and seductive smile.

And when he showed me the person inside that grizzly exterior, I knew there was no going back.
But this one-way road might lead straight to hell.

After all, Hawk isn’t the only one with shadows in his past.
I’ve got demons, too.
And just when it seems like I’ve finally escaped them,
The bastards come roaring back into the picture.

This time, they might not let me out alive.
And they might damn Hawk to the grave with me.

CHAPTER 1

A re you sure you’re going to be alright? I don’t have to go out tonight. Ali gives her best friend a concerned look.

Yes, you do. Melissa gives Ali a serious stare, which is only made mildly less effective by the redness of her eyes. I don’t expect you to babysit me every night. It was a breakup, not a bereavement! Melissa tries a smile but, from the expression on Ali’s face, it doesn’t come off all that well.

"Don’t do that, ‘Mel. I’m the one who’s been sharing pizzas and passing you tissues for the better part of a week! You don’t have to pretend around me. I know it wasn’t just a breakup!" Ali lays her hand over Melissa’s, surreptitiously moving her coffee mug out of reach at the same time, knowing that if Melissa has any more coffee, she’ll be up half the night obsessing over what happened between her and Hawk.

Melissa looks up at the ceiling, sighing deeply and wrapping her terry cloth dressing gown around herself even tighter. She was in the second stage of post-breakup mourning now and that mostly consisted of moping around the house and feeling sorry for herself. So far so good.

What do you want me to say, Ali? That I cared about him? That I hate how we left things? Melissa rubs at her eyes, surprised that she can even bring herself to cry anymore. Her tears should all be used up by now, surely. Sorry, I know you’re just trying to help. But right now I think I just need to be alone. She lets her forehead drop down to the kitchen counter and starts banging her forehead against it.

You know that if you keep doing that for much longer, you’ll be lucky if you have any brain cells left. Ali nudges Melissa back from the countertop and rolls her eyes at the expression on her friend’s face. "How have you got yourself so worked up about a guy that you only just met? I mean I haven’t even met him yet!" Ali almost looks more annoyed about this than any other aspect of the situation.

Sorry, Ali, you’re right. I should have waited until you’d given him the seal of approval before I screwed everything up. Melissa throws herself onto the couch with more force than necessary, taking up the same position she’s held the majority of the last few days.

Exactly. Ali’s response shows no sign of irony whatsoever. She collapses into an armchair opposite Melissa, looking at her intently.

What? Melissa shifts uncomfortably under her friend’s intense stare.

I’m just wondering when you’re going to be done beating yourself up about this. Ali shrugs, looking around the room as if she might find the answer somewhere—just lying around.

Ali, we’ve been through this. Melissa groans, putting her head in her hands. She can’t bear to have this conversation again. I lied to him; he found out in the worst possible way. He didn’t give me a chance to explain, and I don’t know if he had if it would have made any difference. I betrayed him, Ali, and this is a guy who takes trust pretty damn seriously. I screwed up. End of story. Melissa wonders if she sounds as miserable to her friend’s ears as she does to her own.

You were doing a job, ‘Mel. A job that you’ve jeopardized to do the right thing by Hawk and his buddies. Ali leans forward, as if she’s trying to get her friend to see sense purely with the power of her mind. That has to count for something.

Not enough apparently. Melissa shrugs, signaling she’s done with the conversation.

It’s not like you knew you were going to fall in love with the guy when you agreed to write the article. You couldn’t have planned for this, ‘Mel. You get that, right? Ali looks like she wants to shake Melissa into rational thought.

I didn’t say I’d fallen in love with him. Melissa grumbles her response, knowing that she’s zeroed in on the only thing she can disagree with.

No, you didn’t. Ali gives her a meaningful look, which Melissa dodges as best she can.

The silence stretches between them, and Cat jumps up onto Melissa’s lap as if she senses that her mistress needs some comfort. So how’d it go with Vince’s new girlfriend? We never talked about it. Melissa’s attempt to change the direction of the conversation isn’t exactly elegant, but it gets the job done. She’s fed up with talking about herself and about Hawk and about the many ways in which she had screwed everything up.

Ali gives her a long look, as if she’s deciding whether or not to let Melissa distract her. She was...fine. The way that Ali says it gives the impression that the new girlfriend was anything but that mediocre word. You know his type, all moony-eyed with less than two brain cells to rub together. This one wanted to be an actress.

Melissa snorts at the thought, just imagining the scene between the two women. So what’s she doing in Portland?

She probably couldn’t find her way to LA. Ali’s tone is bitchy, but she knows it.

Meow! Saucer of milk for the blonde in the armchair! Melissa raises an eyebrow, and they both laugh. It feels good; it’s the first time that Melissa has really laughed since her argument with Hawk. She feels the smile fade from her face and remembers how there is a reason she has decided not to think about him. "Well, it’s not like you were going to actually like any of the girls that you saw with Vince."

Ali refrains from comment, but the wistful expression on her face says it all.

Aren’t you supposed to be going on a date? You’re going to be pretty late if you don’t leave now. Melissa gives her friend a pointed look, but Ali doesn’t move from her chair. Ali?

Her glazed expression fades, and she seems to be rejuvenated with renewed purpose. I can’t leave you like this, looking all sad and heartbroken. What sort of a best friend would I be if I dumped you for a dude? Ali shakes her head in consternation.

Umm, the kind that actually has a life? Melissa looks at her friend a little more closely. You were looking forward to this up until about an hour ago. What happened?

Ali rolls her eyes at the serious note in Melissa’s tone. "I changed my mind, that’s
