“No, really, why did you move here?” She didn’t let up about it. She possessed that fire in her eyes. I wonder if she had that same fiery energy in the bedroom. My dick was dying to find out.
“I wanted a fresh start to spread my wings. Plus, I think it’s a good place to ride.” As soon as I mentioned riding, her demeanor changed drastically. “What, you don’t like bikes? You seem to know your way around one,” I responded.
“I do for sure. I know a few people who ride.” Her eyes grew distant as she said it.
“Okay, that’s a good thing. Nothing like being on the back of a bike,” I said. Her hands were tapping the side of her cup and she appeared to be agitated by my comments. I switched it up.
“Do you have a special field you want to work in as a doctor?” Her eyes went dreamy and the mood shifted right side up.
“I want to be a cardiologist. To work on people’s hearts.”
“Admirable. I like it.”
“Just means I’m going to be in school for a loooong time.” She rolled her eyes.
“It sounds like it’ll be worth it in the end.” What didn’t she have going for her? But right now I had a firm no-strings policy. This one looked like she had some strings in her bag.
“For sure it will.” We skipped around the way of things, keeping the conversation light. My conscience was telling me not to take her back to my hotel room. The lady was trying to become a doctor, after all. I knew I would see her again. That was a given.
After some silence and staring out the window, I said to her, “Okay, little lady. Are you ready to go?” Misty rubbed her hands over her thighs. She was shivering a little even though she had a jacket on. I shook off my jacket and put it around her shoulders. Just me and my T-shirt left. Truthfully, I didn’t feel the cold that much.
“Here. Stay warm ‘til I get you back to your car.” I gazed into those cat green eyes. She beamed in appreciation.
“Thank you, you’re a gentleman.”
I paid at the counter and we headed out the door. I handed her the helmet I had for her. “One more time for the road.” Her sensual lips curved into a cute smile. Merced was a place this man could definitely get used to. The navy blue sky was lit up with stars for us as I enjoyed the freshness of the night air hitting my face. The parking lot lights were out when we got back. I let the engine die down and Misty got off.
“Thank you so much for tonight. I had a great time. You’re sweet.” If she only knew the wolf inside of me wanted to drag her back to my hotel bed. I let her run with it. She unzipped my jacket and gave it back to me.
“You’re welcome.” Goosebumps were raised on her arms. I could see them in the moonlight. I didn’t want to hold her up. “I won’t beat around the bush. I want to see you again.” She held my gaze in the moonlight.
“Let’s see,” she purred. The sexual tension was right here, hanging in the air. I didn’t move an inch. She stepped to the bike and I reeled her in with one arm. My lips sought out hers and made a deadly assault, opening the vault. She returned the intensity and our tongues explored. Her breasts pressed against me, making me want to lay her down on the bike. Before it got too heavy, I released her.
“How’s that for seeing?” I said huskily. She lingered, fingering my jacket.
“That works,” she replied, breathless. “You know how to find me, Diego.”
“No doubt.” Her sexy tight ass walked to her car, leaving me enthralled. Right on, Merced.

MISTY
The next few days after meeting with the hottie Diego floated by. My feet felt like they didn’t touch the ground. I was in such a euphoric place. My classes were not a problem, and any annoying lecturers weren’t an issue either.
Diego had shoulder-length dirty blond hair tied back. All tousled and wild like him. Rugged manly features and a face kissed by the sun. He had a three o’clock shadow, not five o’clock. His toned, thick muscular thighs and well-defined arms would wrap around me soon enough. I planned on it happening. Ever since I saw him sitting on his lonesome in the Black Bear diner. My study friends were salivating over him, but I was the one to approach. When I saw those piercing ocean-blue eyes, that cemented it for me. I had to go talk to him.
We had a date coming up, a day trip to Yosemite. I decided Diego was worth taking the day off for. My panties were wet just thinking about him. One thing was bothering me and it included my knucklehead brother.
“Hey, sis. What you got going on today?”
I grabbed my piece of toast as it popped up from the toaster. “I’ve got class. How about you?” I probed. His eyes were cagey, moving around like darts. He didn’t answer straight away. “Palo,” I asked again, expecting an answer.
“I gotta take care of some business, you know, then I’m heading into work,” Palo relayed softly.
I narrowed my eyes at him. “What kind of business do you need to take care of?”
Palo rubbed his shaved head back and forth, avoiding my gaze. “Business… Do you really wanna know?” he responded with his slight Spanish accent. I put my hand on my hip and blocked him from leaving the kitchen. The rage was building inside of me. My brother wasn’t that tall. He stood a few inches over me. But nothing that would make me scared of him.
