The Salvation Knights MC: Jinx's Mistake

Deidra was always a good kid who got good grades, and she was a loner and outcast. She kept to the few friends she had, but mostly enjoyed being around plants. Jinx was all bad boy and club life. He rode a motorcycle before he was old enough to drive, and was always with a new women, sometimes even teachers. They rarely encountered each other, but when they did, it was always bad. Deidra was never the type to care, even if Jinx was part of an MC. The two would go toe-to-toe anytime they were forced to have a conversation.

Jinx liked it, not that he'd ever admit it. He liked that someone wasn't afraid to speak their mind to him. He liked that it was Deidra, the quiet, shy girl who barely stuck her nose out of those weird plant books she loved so much. But that would be a secret he'd keep to himself.

During sophomore year of high school, Deidra's parents died in a car accident, leaving her completely alone. She had to move in with her best friend Sophie and her family until she graduated to avoid foster homes. But during her college years, she met Theo, a wonderful, amazing, and super supportive man. After a couple of years of dating, after graduating college, Theo proposed. Two years later, Deidra now owns a little flower and coffee shop of her own. life was great.

Until one night, after working late, she decided to go to Theo's apartment and surprise him. She was tired and just wanted to be wrapped in his arms. Only, when she got there, she got the shock of her life. There her fiance was, undressed and pounding into another woman. That other woman being Deidra's best friend since diapers, Sophie.

That was the day Deidra's life really fell apart. She lost her only family she had left that day. Everything fell through the cracks, and no one seemed to care how it all affected her.

Only one person seemed to care in Deidra's life, her only friend she had left, Olivia. She convinced Deidra to take a long vacation. To just get away and take some time for herself. Olivia would also be around to help if anything went wrong. So, Deidra booked a cabin deep in the mountains of Colorado right after Thanksgiving. She would spend Christmas there and the New Year.

Alone, but hopefully at peace.

Well, that was until someone else showed up. Someone she never expected. Someone she was starting to see really lived up to his stupid nickname.

Jinx.

What the hell was he doing there? This far away from home? Why? Just why?

****

Jinx has only ever known club life. His dad was part of the club, and he grew up in the club. It was his life, his family. He had plans, big plans to become a lawyer and be able to help out even more with the club. Unfortunately, in his younger years, a club w***e trapped him by getting knocked up. Didn't work out in her favor though.

However, Waylen, Jinx's son, was a wild child. He was only 5, but was always in trouble. Getting into fights with other kids at school, throwing things, having tantrums anytime a women got close to his dad, running away from babysitters to hang out at that stupid coffee/flower shop. Jinx didn't know what to do with his son or how to control him, so Jinx's mom suggested they get away for the holidays.

After agreeing, Jinx's mom planned the trip, getting them one big cabin for their entire family. It was supposed to be relaxing. Supposed to help Waylon learn how to behave. Supposed to be a getaway from home and Waylon's awful mother.

And then that beautiful little petal appeared out of nowhere. Or maybe he should call her Thorn with how prickle-y she is. He always liked her sass. Even if it annoyed him sometimes. The old they got though, the more tragic it became. Here was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen in his life; sassy and full of fire, finally single, and right in front of him. But he knows that she hates him, so he tries to keep away from her. Even if his son wants to spend as much time with the woman as possible.

Despite how hard they try to avoid each other; things keeping bringing them together. Little by little.

They seemed to grow closer to each other during those times. Maybe it was the season. Maybe it was the wine. Maybe it was built up tension neither of them realized was there.

After spending one amazing night together, Jinx felt like he finally got his wish. She was his and he was never letting her go. Even if she made it difficult. Which meant that he had exactly 7 days left to get Deidra to fall for him.

Deidra was falling hard and fast. And for the man she spent most of her pretty much hating. It was crazy, but it was just the vacation. She knew that. Once they got home, it would all be over.

Neither of them was on the same page, but will it be different when they get home? Will Jinx's life with the Salvation Knights MC be too much for her? Will Waylon's mom ruin everything they had? Will they finally admit their feelings for each other? Or will it all come crashing down, like it always does for Deidra?
