Hammer just looked at me as if death was on its way. What the hell is his problem. I felt the connection we had this afternoon but I can't get into that right now.

I am sure by now that Victor knows everything and is trying to find me. I am a hunted woman. The connection I felt with Hammer is indescribable.

It wasn't just the heat I felt radiating between our touch or even the electrical current I felt when his hands were on my hips. It was more than that. It went deeper. An emotional connection of sorts. Almost like .... I am probably just being rediculous but almost like we are meant to be. I am drawn to him, on so many levels. I could see the termoil he is going through before he shut the flood gates and shut me out.

"What's Hammer's story?" I look over at Chris and Slade confusion etched on my face. They both just looked at me as if I didn't really want to know his story.

"Have another drink Mel, forget about it, that man is too damaged" Chris says while taking another drink.

For some unknown reason I can't just let this go. Before I can stop myself I am heading through what seems like a sea of people and out the same door Hammer just left out of. I need some answers. I have no idea what I am going to find or if he will even talk to me,  but I need to try at least. For my own sanity.

The irrational thoughts dissappear when I see Hammer sitting alone on the wall. The bottle of Jack between those thighs and a smoke dangling from his lips.

I slowly walk towards him, not wanting him to run off this time, I am not a threat.

"Are you okay Hammer?" I asked when in actuality I wanted to ask him what his f***ing problem is.

"Angel please, I can't do this right now, just leave" he says not even looking up at me. Sounding so broken.

I turn to walk away, but stop dead in my tracks. I can't. I can't just leave him here like this. I dig real deep not knowing where but I need the courage right now.

I walk towards him with determination and stop dead between his thighs. Grab the bottle of Jack slug down a gulp.

I lift my hand to his cheek resting it there. And there is that connection again. I feel it deep in my gut. I gulp in a lung full of air and shudder at the amazing feeling that decends over my body.

"No" is all I say looking at Hammer clouded in the darkness. He truly is an amazing specimen. All large and manly. Bulky in all the right places.

"No" he says back grabbing at my hand. I wonder if he can feel this too. It would be sad if he doesn't. It's a remarkable feeling.

"I just can't do this with you right now Angel please, you confuse me" he says taken aback.

I don't think he meant to say the last part out loud. That just sparks my inquisitiveness.

"Why do I confuse you, because you confuse me too?" I say now I am blushing, I never meant to say that last bit either.

"Angel I can't" he says pushing me back lightly. Not hard but enough to remove me from between his thighs, and to break the contact we had.

"Why?" I ask with determination. I am not giving up, not just yet. I don't know what I want him to say, or even if I am ready for anything that falls out of his mouth, but I am determined to get some answers. Whatever they might be.

"You ..... you are quite literally the first woman to touch me in eight months Angel and it scares me okay. Are you happy now" he says angry or agitated. The look he is giving me makes me shy away a little.

He is a biker for heavens sake. All bikers use and misuse women. Well that's been my experience. His declaration shocked me as well as scared the pants off me.

"I am here Hammer, I feel this too you know, there's things about me you don't know and I won't be around long enough to find out, but what this is between us, I feel it too" the emotion falling from my eyes. I can't help it or even stop it.

"I am here Hammer, I am here and willing, if you are" I say before walking away. Leaving Hammer to mull over my irrational thoughts. I never meant to say everything I did but it's like a dam wall broke and I had no control.

I never got far when I was grabbed by my arm, flung around and before my senses caught up with me. I was in Hammer's arms being kissed senseless.

Our tongues in a sensual dance. His hands firmly planted on my cheeks. The need the want, everything, here for the taking. The duelling stops. His forehead resting against mine.

"You're infuriating" he laughs and I am still coming down from my high.

"So I've been told" I say breathless. My eyes closed as I try to steady my rapid heartbeat.

"Why Slade, off all the brothers you could have, why Slade?" He asks me still holding me in his arms.

"Slade, was the first guy I met, this might come as a surprise and I am sorry, but he never shut down, he never pushed me away" I say as honestly as I can. I don't want to hurt Hammer but it is the truth.

"Go to Slade, Angel. I can't give you what he can, I am broken, I am damaged. I will only bring you down" he says walking away from me. He doesn't look back he just keeps walking.

I am now lying in a tub full of hot water, relaxing in between the twilight bubbles thinking about Hammer. I am not happy with the out come of tonight's discussion. I don't want Slade, there's no connection there. I am going to stick around and find out what's going on between Hammer and me.

I decided against staying at the club house I needed to just get away, be by myself and think.

There's a knock at the door. I jump out the bath put a towel around my body and head towards the door. I opened it and I was surprised to see who was standing there on the other side. Being on the run I should've checked the peephole first.

A/N: So what do you guys think of what happened between Hammer and Angel?

Was it too soon for those kinds of declarations?

And who do you think is at her motel rooms door?

Well I hope you guys are enjoying this story so far. As much as I am enjoying writing it.
