Strider's Misstep

<p>Strider</p><p>I shouldn't have taken Jasmine to my bed. But I did for the obvious reason. In my head she became mine but someone else had a prior right to me so I couldn't claim her. </p><p>I hurt her though I never intended to. It's just that my life is complicated. </p><p>Thinking my love for her was one-sided I let things go on. </p><p>When my brothers forced me to read the damn book she wrote I knew her feelings for me echoed mine. And that I had to shut them down. </p><p>The trouble was I stopped reading half-way through. When I realised it was too late she was gone. If I'd known earlier I might have been able to save her.</p><p></p><p>Jasmine</p><p>I fell for Strider. At first I went to his bed just to gain the protection of his club. But when he refused to let any others touch me then I started to hope he was mine. He was everything I'd ever hoped I'd find in a man.</p><p>I ignored the fact I wasn't free that someone else had a claim on me. Surely an outlaw biker wouldn't care? </p><p>But when Strider showed me how he could never be mine I ran.</p><p>I was naïve. I thought I was safe. But my past caught up with me. </p><p>Strider would have protected me but he has no idea where I am. </p>
