“That doesn’t mean I have to like it.”
“Itabsolutelymeans you have to like it.”
“We just found you, Noah. The thought of losing you makes me crazy.”
He set the bags back in the trunk and faced me, cupping my cheeks. “Listen to me. You’re not gonna lose me. I’m a good rider. Better than most. It’s why Sundance made me road captain. I’m always careful. My head’s on a swivel at all times, and I don’t ride if conditions are bad. I will never take a chance on my life... or yours.”
I dropped my face to his chest. “Full face helmet at all times.”
“Babe—”
“As the head of your safety patrol, it’s a non-negotiable.” I met his eyes. “Please, honey, I like your face just the way it is. I also love our witty banter which might go away if your brain is all over the road.”
He studied me, then nodded. “Okay, baby, I can do that.”
I kissed him. “Thank you.”
“You’re gonna do that thing with your tongue later to make it up to me.”
“I’m gonna do that thing with my tongue with Felix two feet away?”
“Fuck,” he hissed, grabbing the bags again. “I’m gonna have someone watch him for a little bit so I can pull you into our room andthenyou can do that thing with your tongue.”
I chuckled. “My tongue can’t wait.”
He grinned, kissing me gently and I pushed the button to close the trunk, then we headed inside.
“Holy shit, she’s real,” a feminine voice said, and Stoney laughed, pulling the woman in for a one-armed hug.
“Hey, Randy.”
“Hey.”
“Really glad you’re here,” he said.
She smiled up at him. “Me too.”
“Baby, this is Miranda. Greenie’s sister.”
I smiled at the beautiful blonde. “Hi. I’m Sabrina, it’s lovely to meet you.”
“Call me Randy,” she said.
I nodded. “Felix is around here somewhere.”
“Oh my god, is he the cutest little biker in the world?”
I laughed. “One in the same.”
“He’s playing pinball with Sammy and Shotgun.”
“I’m gonna put the shit away,” Stoney said. “I’ll meet you in there.”
“Okay, honey,” I said, and Miranda looped her arm with mine.
“So, you have to tell me your first impression of Noah.”
“He scared the hell out of me,” I admitted.
