Life at the Charming clubhouse was always loud, but for Princess, it suddenly went silent. After months of Tig pulling away every time things got "too real," she finally called it. She loved the man, but she couldn't live on the crumbs of his affection while he hid behind his "broken" persona.The breakup was messy. Tig slammed his fist into a locker, refusing to look her in the eye because he knew if he did, he’d beg her to stay—and he didn't think he was worth the ask.Enter Jax.He didn’t waste time. Within forty-eight hours of the split, Jax was leaning against Princess’s car, his swagger dialed to eleven. "Tig’s a legend, but he doesn't know how to hold onto a diamond," Jax murmured, his voice like velvet. He started showing up everywhere—bringing her coffee, checking her bike, and looking at her with an unfiltered hunger that Tig had always tried to mask.Tig watched from the bar, his knuckles white as he gripped his beer. He hated that it was Jax. He couldn't hit his brother, and he couldn't hate him, but seeing Jax’s hand on Princess’s waist made his blood boil.The tension is a powder keg. Princess is caught between the man who is finally giving her the devotion she craves and the man whose wild soul she can't quite quit. It’s a dangerous game of push and pull, and soon, the two bikers will have to realize that sharing Princess is the only way neither of them loses her
(The Strategic Prince): He’s the golden boy of SAMCRO with a dark edge. With his blonde hair, piercing blue eyes, and white sneakers, Jax carries the weight of the club on his shoulders. He’s intense and soulful, but when it comes to Princess, he’s calculated. He’s played the long game, waiting for the right moment to step out of the shadows and claim what he believes Tig was too reckless to keep.
The air in the Teller-Morrow garage was thick with the scent of oil and burnt rubber, a smell that had become Princess’s second skin over the last few months. She sat on a workbench, legs swinging, watching Tig tear down a primary drive with an intensity that bordered on obsessive.“You’re doing it again, Caleb,” she said softly, using his real name—a privilege only she had.Tig didn't look up, his grease-stained fingers moving faster. “Doing what?”“Hiding in the chrome. We were supposed to go to dinner an hour ago.”He finally stopped, wiping his hands on a rag, but his eyes stayed fixed on the bike. “Club’s busy, Princess. Bobby needs this back on the road. Dinner’s just... it’s a lot of sitting still. I’m not good at sitting still.”It was the same wall he’d been building for weeks. Every time Princess tried to pull him closer, Tig stepped back into the safety of the brotherhood and the chaos of the job. He loved her—it was written in the way he stood between her and any threat—but the word 'commitment' seemed to taste like poison in his mouth.From across the garage, Jax stood by the tool chest, lighting a cigarette. He’d been watching them, his blue eyes tracking the tension like a hawk. He saw the flicker of hurt on Princess’s face that Tig was too busy ignoring.“Let her go home, Tig,” Jax called out, his voice a low, steady rumble that made Princess turn. Jax leaned back, a smirk playing on his lips as he caught her gaze. “If you’re too busy to take care of her, I’m sure someone else can find the time.”Tig’s head snapped up then, his eyes flashing with a warning, but the damage was already done. The cracks in their foundation were widening, and Jax was standing right there, waiting for the first brick to fall
