Hard Luck

Ellis James is my kryptonite, has been since the very first time I tugged on her braids and she slammed her tiny fist into my face.

We came together like magnets and life was perfect...until it wasn't. Like always, I screwed it all up and I've been living with the weight of my failure ever since.

She's the only person who could drag me back to Vegas after I promised myself I was done with that life. I pushed her away because she deserved better, but one frantic voicemail was all it took to get me on my bike and crossing state lines.

I'd bleed for her, I'd die for her, but can I save her?
