He reaches into one of the side compartments and pulls out two pairs of dark shades. He puts one pair on my face. “I bought these for you the other day. For when you came back. They match mine.”
“So now we can match,” I say with a laugh. “How thoughtful. Thank you.”
He puts his on and gets on the bike then I get on behind him. “Hold on tight,” he says.
“Why? Do you drive crazy?” I wrap my arms around him beginning to get nervous.
“No. I just want to feel your front against my back. So hold on tight,” he says then he starts the bike, and it vibrates underneath me.
I place my chin on his shoulder and turn my head to kiss his neck. “You’re very sweet, Benny.”
“Yeah, I didn’t know I could be sweet. You bring it out in me, Sugar.”
He takes off and I hold on tighter because I’ve never ridden behind anyone before and I’m kind of in between shitting bricks and trying to enjoy this.
It’s a thing only recently I had daydreams about after all. Now here I am behind my handsome biker, hanging on to him and feeling the wind blow over my face as he takes me away with him.
And it does feel just as amazing as I thought it would.
I just might enjoy riding bitch after all!
Chapter 5
BLAZE
Her body behind mine feels amazing. And as we pull up to the café, I see some bikes from my club. I get a real sense of pride as I pull to a stop.
Finally, a real woman will be on my arm, not some tramp!
I wait for Angel to get off the bike then I do and help her with her helmet. She seems to fuss about it at first. Knocking my hand away but I just ignore her and continue.
“I can do it,” she says with a pout.
“I know you can, obviously.” I place the helmet on my seat and run my arm around her shoulders. “Now you get to meet my friends.”
“Is it weird that I’m nervous?” she asks as she runs her hand over her white halter top and makes sure it’s adjusted right.
I run my arm down to smooth out her backside, which doesn’t need it. But her ass covered in tight black leather is a thing of magnificence and I just have to touch it. “No, it’s not weird at all that you’re nervous. They’re all cool. You’ll like them. I know you will.”
She looks at me with a little frown on her gorgeous face. “But will they like me?”
“What’s not to like?” I ask as I pull the door open for her.
She runs her arm around my waist and I can feel the tension in her body. “So many things, apparently.”
“What did I say about that? Put that past shit where it belongs and become the women who has been locked up inside you for way too long. You're gorgeous, funny, and smart as a mother fucker…”
Her giggle stops me. “Smart as a mother fucker! I think I’ll have to add that to my resume. Mind if I get a letter of recommendation from you with that as your opening line?”
I kiss the side of her head as I lead her toward the table my friends are at. “Of course, my Angel.”
All eyes are on us as we walk up. Phoenix stands up and extends her hand immediately. “Hi, I’m Phoenix, the woman you heard talking to Blaze last night was me. I’m really sorry about the trouble I caused. I was only checking up on him to make sure no women were bugging him. Ashley and I have been keeping the bitches at bay because he was dead set on staying sin free for you. And now that I see you, I know why.”
“Thank you,” she says as she releases Phoenix’s hand. “I had a bout of insecurities and ran like a frightened kid. I’m over it now. It’s nice to meet you, my name is…”
The table full of people say, all at the same time, “Angel, we know!”
She laughs and looks at me. “Been talking about me?”
Ashely gets up and holds out her hand. “I’m Ashley, and yes he has been talking about you. I have to say, I was thinking he had to be going overboard when he talked about how gorgeous you are, but he was on point. You’re stunning, Angel.”
Angel’s deep blue eyes go really big. “Wow! Thank you. I mean, you're gorgeous yourself. That’s quite a compliment.” Then she looks at Phoenix and nods. “You’re also stunning, Phoenix. Is it a prerequisite to be pretty if you’re to date a man in this club?”
Rod laughs. “It helps.”
We take seats, I sit Angel next to Ashley and take the one between Angel and Paco. The waitress brings two coffee cups and places them in front of us. “Hi, Angel. Been a while since I’ve seen you.”
Angel smiles at the girl who looks to be near her age. “Hey, Stella. Yeah, I’ve been eating at home, mostly. Does the cook still make that mean Denver omelet?”
She nods and says, “Yep. So you want that and the wheat toast? And I’ll get the cream you like too.” She turns to me. “And for you, sir?”
“I’ll have what she’s having. Since she’s a local, I’m going to assume she knows the best thing to eat here.” I place my hand on Angel’s thigh and give it a slight squeeze.
“Be right back,” she says as she spins away.
Ashley looks at Angel with a wide smile. “You have to show us the best place to eat lunch today when we take our ride. I’ve been searching for the perfect steak and have yet to find one.”
“Freddy’s is the best place. Flame-kissed magic is what they do over there,” Angel says. “You’ll love it or it’ll be free. I went to school with the cook. Well, he likes to be called a chef, but I knew him when he made mud pies, so I still just call him a cook.”
“Freddy’s it is then,” Ashely says. “So glad to have a local to show us around. Tell us what the others don’t know, Angel. I want to see things only the locals know about.”
The whole table leans in looking excited to find hidden treasures. Angel looks a little shy but her expression changes then she says, “I bet you guys like to hang around campfires and stuff like that in the middle of nowhere, right.”
“Hell yeah we do,” Rod says as he puts his arm around Ashley. “I love the outdoors and frankly the smoke filled bars are messing with my sinuses. What ya got, Angel?”
“My grandmother lives on a small farm about thirty minutes out. Way off the beaten path. She wouldn’t mind letting us kick back at her place for the night. I’m assuming you guys have tents and stuff. Like most of the bikers who come for this rally do,” Angel says as the waitress places the enormous plate filled with all kinds of delicious looking food in front of us.
Paco looks at Phoenix. “Sound like something you want to do?”
She nods. “I do. We can stop at the store before we head out and get wienies and roast them over the fire. It’ll be fun.”
I kiss Angel’s cheek. “Looks like you’re stealing the show, baby.”
Her cheeks go pink and she looks down at her plate. “Nah.”
Everyone chit chats and things feel comfortable. Seems Angel has a little social anxiety but seems to be getting over it well. I make sure to leave a huge tip for the waitress since she’s a friend of sorts to Angel.
And back we get on my bike as the others do as well and Angel gets on behind me and we hit the road. Only this time as I ride with my brothers, I have my girl with me. And it feels better than I thought it would.
All the ass I thought I wanted is nothing compared to having Angel sitting behind me, holding me tight.
She leans with me as we make a corner and I fight the urge to kiss her as her chin rests on my shoulder. The air is the perfect temperature, and the ride seems like the best I’ve ever had.
My phone vibrates in my pocket and it reminds me of my grandfather and I figure it’s one of my family members. Then I have to fight the urge to chunk the damn thing.
I don’t bother with the phone and it stops vibrating. But it makes my mood a bit sour as I think about what the hell my family is going to say about Angel.
I can hear it all now. How could you? What were you thinking?
You’re cut off without a cent!
H
er lips touch my cheek and I stop thinking about anything but her. “Thank you, Benny,” she says for absolutely no reason what so ever.
I give her a smile and look back at the road. A sign at the side of the road catches my attention. And then I see a dirt road with a for sale sign at the end of it. I slow down and take it, leaving the pack for a minute to see what kind of house it is.
Angel doesn’t even ask as it’s obvious I want to check this out. She’s so cool. She just goes with the flow.
And when the house comes into view, I see her jaw drop.
It’s huge. A log cabin mansion. A horseshoe drive leads us to the front of the massive home.
I stop the bike. “What do you think of this, my Angel?”
“No way, Benny. This is too much. And it’s for sale. Not rent. But man, it’s gorgeous, isn’t it?”
I climb off the bike. “The sign said open house. Come on.” I hold my hand out to her and she takes it and gets off.
She waits patiently for me to take her helmet off then we walk up the stone pathway to the Hickory wood set of double doors which make up the front entrance.
“I don’t rent, Angel. That’s throwing money away.” I lead her up the stairs and open the door.
The wood interior is amazing and it smells fantastic. “Benny, can you imagine calling this place home? I mean, I know you live in a mansion already and have your whole life, but this is something, isn’t it?”
“It is something. It’s beyond compare to what I live in. Mine’s nice, but so generic in the mansion sense of the word. This is real living. Real things make this place up.” I gesture to an enormous fireplace. “Awesome to think about cold winter nights and that thing fired up. You and I curled up next to it. What do you think, Angel?”
We stand there in front of it and gaze at it and the Mahogany mantle over the top of it. Her hand squeezes mine. “Benny, this is too much.”
“Angel, look at me,” I say and she turns her head. “I have the money. I’m not going to get something average when I can get above average. So all I want to hear is if you like it or not. Don’t even talk about the price.”
She laughs. “Benny, what’s not to like?”
“I don’t know. Let’s walk all around and see. We have to come up with something we aren’t a thousand percent happy with so I can talk the seller down a few million or so.” I pull her along and we find the kitchen.
“Well, I can’t find a damn thing wrong with this,” she says. “Three sub-zero fridges, a massive stove and two wall ovens. Wow! I’ve only seen this kind of stuff in magazines. Not even sure what some of these things are.”
“We could hire a cook. And staff to keep it clean.” I pull her along and look out a set of French doors. A huge swimming pool with a slide and a diving board along with a waterfall is out there.
“Staff! For a home! Benny, it’s too much,” she says as she leans into my side.
“No, it’s what people who have money do, Baby. Do you know how hard you’d have to work to keep this place clean, even with my help? It would be a full-time job just doing that.” I pull her around in front of me and pick her up, giving her a quick kiss. “Now let’s find the master suite and see if that’s something we can live with.”
“Benny, what about your job?” she asks as I put her down and lead her out of the kitchen, toward a staircase.
Then I see a set of papers on a table at the bottom. “Great, look the layout of the house. Good thing they have this here or we might get lost.”
“Benny, how about you answer me about your job?” she says as she stops and holds me back from walking up the stairs.
“I don’t think I want to be part of my family’s law firm anymore. They’re going to be representing a man I don’t want to back. I’ve told my grandfather that and he seems intent on shoving the man down my throat.” I pull at her to come on and she does as she seems a bit confused. “I can make my own practice.”
“Okay. But that’s kind of drastic, isn’t it?” she asks.
We get to the top of the huge wooden staircase and a large picture window looks over the back side of the house. The scene is gorgeous and we stop talking and stare out the large window.
“Nah. Would you look at this, Angel? This place is perfect. There’s a tennis court and a basketball court.”
She takes up where I left off as she points out the window. “An entire playground, Benny.” She looks at me. “This needs to be a home for a family. Not us.”
Wrapping my arms around her, I pull her close and rock her back and forth as I hold her. “Baby, what do you think I mean for us? I mean for us to have a family. We’ll become a family and this place is perfect for that.”
“Kids, Benny?” She smiles and giggles. “Our third day together and here you are talking about a family. Our family.”
“I know I’m taking much too long to bring these things up, my Angel. But I’ve put it all off long enough.” I chuckle and she runs her hands over my bearded cheeks.
My hand moves over her shoulder and along her arm until my hand rests on top of hers. I move it to my lips and kiss it. Her eyes sparkle as she looks into mine. “Benny, you’re amazing.”
“You are,” I say then hand her the paper I picked up of the floor plan and scoop her up in my arms and carry her. “Now let’s go find that master suite.”
She looks at it then points at the very end of the long hallway. “That’s it down there.”
Off I go passing the rest of the bedrooms, counting off five on one side and four on the other. I turn the knob on the door that’s larger than the rest of the bedroom doors and nearly fall over as I see the massive room.
“Fuck me,” Angel whispers. “This is too much, Benny.”
“No, it’s perfect.”
As if on cue an older blonde woman pops out of the bathroom. “Hello there. My name’s, Annie and I’m the real estate agent who has this home listed. How are you two on this very nice day?”
“Put me down,” Angel hisses.
I do as she’s asked as I look at the agent and wish like hell she hadn’t heard me say that. “Hi, we’re the Worthingtons. I know you overheard the word, perfect, but I haven’t seen it all yet so don’t go thinking I have to have this home or anything like that.”
She reaches out to shake Angel’s hand first. “Lovely to meet you, Mrs. Worthington.” She lets her hand go as Angel is slack-jawed at being called that name. The woman grabs up my hand in a nice firm shake. “Nice to meet you too, Mr. Worthington. Now I know I caught you off guard there, not my intention, I assure you.”
I nod and ask, “So what do we have going on here? Motivated seller, or someone looking to stick to the wealthy?”
Her smile tells me she has a little secret, and she leans in close and talks in a hushed tone as if anyone else is even around, “Okay, here’s the deal on this beauty. There was a mass murder here in the basement a few years ago and the man who inherited this place doesn’t want to live here.”
“No way!” Angel says as she looks with wide eyes at the woman.
The woman erupts with laughter and claps her hands. “No way, is right. I love to open with a joke.”
Okay, this chick’s a little looney!
Chapter 6
ANGEL
The firelight lends a golden hue to all who surround it. Benny’s gang, as I’ve been thinking of the people in his motorcycle club, are a bunch of cool people. Ashley and her husband and Phoenix and her fiancé seem to be the people Benny is closest to.
They came out to my grandmother’s with us and five more guys came too. The others preferred to stay behind in the hectic night scene of Sturgis as the rally has gotten underway big time, making our town a circus of sorts.
My grandmother took advantage of us being here to feed her animals in the morning and made an overnight trip to see her sister who lives one town over. So we have the place to ourselves.
“I’m going inside to grab a bag of marshmallows,” I tell Benny who has h
is arm hanging loosely around my shoulders as we sit on a large log by the fire.
He gets up, taking my hand and walking with me to the little farmhouse. “You having a good time, Baby?”
I nod. “Yeah. They’re a cool bunch. Easy to get along with.”
We walk inside and I get the bag of marshmallows off the counter and turn to walk back out. He stops me and pulls me in for a kiss.
It stops my heart and I have to wonder if I’ll always react this way to him. He ends the sweet kiss and looks down at me with glistening eyes. “So, the house, Angel. Can you see yourself living there?”
I laugh and shake my head. “That place isn’t a thing I’ve even fantasized about.”
“I know that,” he says then kisses me again, taking my mind completely off the place I can’t even think of as a mere house. He pulls his mouth away and looks at me. “Bet you never fantasized about being with a billionaire either.”
I shake my head. “Can’t say that I have. But really, Benny, a nice big family should have that place. It has so much to offer.”
His grin is contagious and I find myself grinning too as he says, “And we will eventually use it all. Give me a minute or two, Baby.” He laughs.
“You know what I mean,” I say as I gently hit him in the chest. “It’ll be just the two of us rattling around in the monster sized home.”
“And right now it’s just the four of us in my family rattling around a monster-sized home back in New York. We don’t use a quarter of the rooms in that place. Yet we still have it. So thinking only about what you saw today. How do you like it?”
“Okay, I love it, alright. I mean, damn, Baby, what’s not to love? The whole room devoted exclusively to that pool table is awesome. The indoor swimming pool is beyond anything I’ve seen before. There are so many rooms for various entertainment purposes. My God, the thing has its own theater.” I have to close my mouth as the whole thing is so overwhelming.
