“Okay, okay, I'll try to stop but I'm not making any promises.” Mona laughs through her empty promise.
I roll my eyes and hop on my bike, while putting on my helmet. When I am settled, I flip the switch and hit the ignition firing up my motorcycle. It roars to life, getting Mona in gear to follow suit.
Since I know where we're meeting everyone I tell Mona to follow me with hand gestures and she gives me a thumbs up indicating she understands.
I put on my gloves and situate myself on my seat and kick my bike into first gear.
We ride through town splitting lanes all the way to the freeway. Here comes our true test to see if we're ready to ride like true bikers.
I accelerate all the way to fourth gear while my braids whip in the wind. There's no traffic on the stretch of freeway we're on so I hand signal Mona to come up next to me, so I can take pictures. I see her in my mirror speeding towards me as I lift my hand off the throttle. My camera is already on and ready to snap away. I focus my frame and just as it becomes sharp and defined Mona is in my view.

I take two more pictures trying my very best not to freak out riding with just one hand holding my bike steady. I'm a bit sloppy, but the pictures I'm getting are amazing. With the city lights on in the background while the sky is in a splash of orange and reds and pinks, it makes Mona's bike stand out beautifully.
We continue to play cat and mouse, while I snap away, until we come up on some traffic and I tuck my camera back to my side and get both hands on my handle bars.
What a rush!
It wasn't long after that we were pulling up to the restaurant. There was plenty of parking up front, so we took a spot together and backed in to the spot we found.
Mona and I both put our kickstands down, kill the engine and dismount our bikes.
Just as we have our gloves and helmets off a gutter punk comes walking right up to me
“No way chick bikers,” he hollers. Mona and I look to each other and roll our eyes. “I swear I have the biggest boner right now, seeing you two.”
I follow his eyes to his junk as he grabs his dick.
Out of nowhere, Asher rushed the guy and slams him against a wall behind where we parked. Mona and I both let out a scream. I rush over, pulling Asher off the street kid.
“Watch who you mouth off to, you little shit.”
Asher pushes him away, straightens his shirt, and smooths his hair back into place.
“Asher it's all good he didn't do anything but mouth off.” I say trying to calm him.
“If I'm around this isn't cool with me Sloane. It's disrespectful to all women, not just because your my girl.”
I soften at his admission after being so startled. The guy that Asher pushed gets up and slinks away while mumbling an apology.
Looking over to Mona, a look of approval is shining bright across her beautiful features.
I shake my head and go back to my bike, grabbing my keys along with my wallet from my saddle bag.
Sashaying back over to Asher, I pop up on my tip toes to plant a sweet kiss on his lips. He bends forward to accommodate the distance so I'm able to reach. I wrap my arms around his neck and press my body to his.
My lips are by his ear, after we broke our kiss and I nibble his lobe while saying, “my hero.” His arms pull me closer to him, making me feel how hard he already is for me. I can only sigh knowing that will have to wait till later.
“You do look pretty badass on your motorcycle Sloane, I'm riding you home though.”
I arch an eyebrow and laugh.
Answering my silent question Asher leans to my ear, “both” is all he said. I knew I would enjoy both. He's been wanting to ride my bike since I got it, and I don't mind if he does, but with his schedule of heavy training he hasn't had the time. It's rough some days, but I know he's there for me even when he physically can't be.
As much as I didn't want to, I stepped back taking his big hand in my and dragged him with me to join the others who were waiting.
We all said our hellos as we enter the restaurant. This was unlike any restaurant or fine dining experience which I couldn't be more excited for and I get to share this with all the people I love the most.
Each table is set up like a family dining room, accommodating ten per table. We had an extra couple at our table, two more football players that came with the guys. The food wasn't served family style and you didn't get to order anything. It was a seven-course meal with all fresh local ingredients and everyone had a different plate of food set in front of them paired with a wine if you so choose to drink. It was amazing and not pretentious as you would think, it's an experience in the culinary arts!
It's funny, I'm not a food photographer, but I couldn't resist taking a picture of each dish that Asher and I got. I couldn't stop laughing by the third course when Asher sat there patiently while I photographed his food. I decided after that to let the poor guy eat as there was no doubt he needed the calories.
“What you don't want to take pictures of this course?” Asher asked as the fourth course arrived, I squeezed his hand and gently shook my head no. The last thing I want to be is annoying, as sometimes being a photographer you can irk people off rather quickly.
“Babe look at me.” He whispers, I look up into his sparkling green eyes and practically melt in my chair. “It's okay, it doesn't bother me that you're excited about this.”
His brilliant smile touches my heart and I can't resist leaning in and peck his cheek. He cups my face to kiss my lips, but instead sucking on my bottom lip sending a shiver through my whole body as his beard tickles my face.
“Hey, you two, trying to eat over here.” One of the guys calls out.
I blush and try to turn away, but Asher kisses me a couple more times in spite of his friend, then leans back with a shit eating grin, causing me to giggle with my blush deepening further.
We had three more courses come, but I was done taking anymore pictures. I decide to just enjoy the rest of the evening instead of geeking out. With each course Asher’s frown would frown and seem like he was he mad, all of a sudden. I couldn't figure out what had soured his mood. However, when dessert had arrived his bad mood had lessened.
It was nice spending time with everyone. For once I had a feeling what it was like to have a big family, this is something I can get use to. The guys spent their time joking with one another while us girls talked about school and the upcoming prom that was two months away.
I didn't want to attend prom. The idea of spending time with people from school didn't interest me, nor did the whole idea of school events. I had attended junior prom so that was good enough for me. All I wanted to do was graduate and continue on to the next phase in life.
“I can't believe you don't want to go, Sloane. Tala and I are taking the guys why wouldn't you want to take Asher?”
I could have killed her for saying that. It's not that I wouldn't want to get dressed up and spend time with Asher I could just think of a hundred different things I'd rather do with him than go to prom. I had mentioned that and Mona along with Tala both rolled their eyes at my admission.
“Why don't you want me to take you to prom? We can get a hotel in the city for after and I can show you what prom night is all about.” Asher says as he trails his fingers down my arm sending chills through my whole body. I give Mona a dirty look before I turn to explore the contours of his striking features. His eyes swept over me as he wiggled his brows at his joke.
“Baby, I don't mind you showing me what prom night is all about, but I'm just not into prom. I'd rather do anything else than attend prom. I went last year, and it was awful having to go stag.” This is where I raise my voice, so Reese could hear. “Since a certain brother made sure no one would go with me.”
Reese gives me a smirk and a wink which I know he's not even sorry. All I can do is squint down at him, so I can give him my best stink eye.
“Damn Reese, I never had you pegged for a coc
k blocker.” His friend remarked.
I wish I had paid attention when they introduced themselves before dinner, I liked them and their willingness to bust Reese's balls.
“Well when it comes to my baby sister yes, I don't need half the school trying to bone her or make me an uncle anytime soon.” He smirks.
I choke at his remark and grateful for the change of subject. Asher gently pats my back then rubs gentle circles once I regain my composure. The last thing I would want is to be a mother in the next ten years or at all really. It's never been something I dreamed of.
You think when you start to fall for someone that it would be all consuming when together and it is but there wasn't enough of it. The realization made my stomach hurt and my heart to race. How am I supposed to address my concerns without sounding needy or clingy? Suddenly I felt Asher’s eyes studying me and all I could hope is that my emotions didn't give me away.
The topic of conversation switched to classic cars and everyone's focus is on how every classic should be sitting on air bags.
Chapter 32
After our dining experience, we all hung outside the restaurant for a bit and chatted to see who was going where. By the sound of it everyone was going to my house. Which I didn't mind but I was ready to call it a night and go to bed. With being so busy lately, all I want to do is lay on my bed while Asher wraps himself around me, while I sleep. I doubt it's going to happen, but a girl can dream.
“So, I brought my helmet are you going to let me drive your bike or are you going to make me nuts to butt all the way home babe?” Asher is putting on his helmet getting ready to take which ever seat I tell him. Not many guys are brave enough to let their girls be in control on a motorcycle. Everyone starts to laugh at what he just said, and it only makes me want him behind me even more, but I don't think I'm ready to drive him around, though I won't mind teasing him to take the queen seat.
As I was about to say he could ride us home Dane walks up with a couple of his buddies that seem to know all the guys.
Shit
“Hey Sloane, is that your bike or are you just the piece of ass that rides the back.”
I frown at his mocking words and can't believe I slept with someone who was becoming such a dick to me. Funny how things change after you break up, though he was the cheater.
“This is my bike you chuff nugget.”
I laugh cause, I know he’ll have to look up what I just said and damn if I didn't wish I could be there when he did.
His confused expression confirms he doesn't realize the insult I just laid on him.
Being so irritated I tell Asher he's riding behind me. He rewards me with a big goofy smile, but his eyes say something completely different. Lust fills his green eyes as he appraises my determined face. I walk over to my bike and bring it to life. I'm not standing around to catch up with Dane besides the last time I saw him with Moxie I wasn't to impressed with his attitude then either.
“You've got to be kidding me Asher is going to ride on the back. That's some pussy shit right there.” I hear Dane spit out.
Asher isn't reacting like he normally does, so that makes me think he's up to something, and quite possibly knows more of what's going on with Dane than I do.
“Why wouldn't I like being wrapped around my girlfriend being able to touch her and hold onto her anyway I want,” There it is, Asher let everyone know we were together. We hadn't been letting others know. Leaving it to everybody to assume we were just good friends. The look on Dane's face was priceless though. He looked so mad his face was turning red. I decided I was ready to go. My brother and his group all turned to leave.
Riv was already on Mona's bike with her on the back.
Once I was positioned and ready to have Asher get on I nodded my head for him that I was ready though I felt nothing close to being ready, but I know I could do it, so he made this cool guy strut over to me and climbed on. Damn I wish I could keep watching him but it's kinda hard when they're behind you.
Asher snaked his arms around my waist and worked up to my tits taking them into both his hands. I leaned back wanting more and that's exactly what he gave me as one of his other hands slide down the apex of my denim covered thighs. My heart was starting to pound in my chest and my breath was becoming warm causing me to flip the visor of my helmet so it wouldn't fog up. I took the moment to enjoy Asher’s touch a bit longer before Riv revved Mona's bike breaking me out of Asher’s spell. Even Ash stopped his assault on my body and placed his arms around my waist. It seems he got lost in his touch as well.
“Alright babe you got this, let's get out of here.”
I nod, and then nod again at Riv, he points at me signaling for me to go first. I look to see if traffic is clear and since it's not that busy of a street I was okay to take off. When I left our spot, I had hit the throttle a bit too hard causing us to pop a small wheelie, my stomach had instantly dropped and my heart went straight into a panic. I'm not use to all this yet, and to be honest at times a bit scary like just now. After we straighten out and was just cruising along like normal, I was surprised how smooth it was to ride with Asher, even though at first it felt strange having the extra weight on my bike.
Having Asher’s body wrapped around mine felt amazing, I was planning on pulling over and letting him take over right away once we were out of view of Dane and his friend’s, but I decided to prolong my pleasure and drive until we were closer to the freeway. I still wanted to let Asher have a chance to ride my bike, there was no way I was comfortable enough for the freeway with a passenger.
We were stopped at a red light when I shouted over to Riv my plan. He gave me a thumbs up, so I know he heard me.
Once I found a safe place to pull over I had Ash climb off, so I could put the kick stand down and park it. Right away he gives me a big hug causing our helmets to clink. I laughed and ask, “why are you hugging me?"
“For kicking ass back there and riding your motorcycle with me on the back like a boss.”
I could see his grin though half of his face is covered but it also showed in his brilliant green eyes.
Asher lets go, smacks me on the ass and turns to get on my motorcycle. He looks so good sitting there that I take a moment to admire my view though. I wish I had my camera ready to capture this. Sadly, you can't capture every moment in your life, but in the end that's where your memories come to play and let's just hope those are everlasting.
I climb on the back of the bike and position myself snug against Asher's firm body. I wrap my arms around his waist while resting my chin on his shoulder.
“Hold on good babe cause we're about to have some fun.”
I have a feeling this will be unlike how I ride, but I'm excited to see what my bike can do, so I give Asher a squeeze signaling I heard him. He kicks us into first gear, and we're all heading for the highway.
It's not too late at night, but late enough to where there aren't many people on the freeway.
I see Riv giving Ash some hand signals, like they do before a play in football, and the next thing I know we're barreling down the freeway faster than I ever thought our bikes could really go. River and Asher very much in control, while they cut through the traffic that is on the road.
I'm not scared or have doubts in their abilities to ride, it's more that my adrenaline is out of control and the rush I'm getting from this is making my face hurt from the smile that I have plastered to it. I look over to Mona and her eyes mirrors my own.
We weaved in and out of traffic, the wind whipping my hair and clothes, with my arms wrapped around Asher I couldn't be more turned on. I feel my nipples pebble in my bra and my core begin to ache with need. Sometimes I can't believe this is what turns me on. A hot guy and a crazy adrenaline rush.
Letting out a deep breath and closing my eyes. Thinking about our relationship and how I'm starting to have doubts by our lack of time for one another. Understandably we're both insanely busy, but still I just want more time together. I find myself falling deeper in lus
t with him and I could possibly see myself loving him, but I think its time to talk and see if we can free up more time for one another.
Slowly our high-speed decreases, and we make our way to the exit for my house. The guys now casually cruise to my house since Alameda is a heavily patrolled city of cops who love to ticket anything that moves in this town.
I loosen my grip around Asher, but he brings one hand down to hold me in place.
It makes me squeeze him tighter to me just by the simple action. I hold onto him just like this until we get to my house.
We pull into my driveway and I see everyone is already there with a few extra cars. Looks like my brother is having another party. I press the garage door opener in my pocket, so we can park inside, and I motion for Riv to pull Mona's bike in too.
Once parked I hop off, taking off my gloves and helmet. I give my hair a shake and a fluff before placing my gear on my bike.
I feel Asher’s eyes hot on my body as I unbutton my jacket and my tits spring free hanging from underneath my crop top. He moves closer to me, so he can wrap his arms around my waist. Ash picks me up pressing me to him as I stare into his eyes. I could stay like this for hours if there was some kissing involved too.
“Sloane I want to talk with you later privately about some things that are bothering me.” Asher’s eyes become very serious but soft.
I lean in and plant a kiss on his full lips and whisper against them, okay before I kiss him again.
Riv clears his throat and both Asher and I turn in his direction breaking our kiss.
“You two coming in or staying out here all night like last time.” Riv and Mona both laugh at Riv's dig, in how we lost track of time and ended up making out in my car instead of joining the party.
“It could turn into a repeat of last week’s party, what's it too you?” Ash puts me down and squares off to Riv.
Riv steps right back in Asher’s face and now they're toe to toe, all I could do is roll my eyes at their banter and walk over to Mona and hook arms with her as we make our way out of the garage and to the backyard where Reese tries to keep everyone contained to. There's always kegs of beer in our koi pond that has no koi or water. It's basically a fancy keg pool that everyone congregates around.
