Breaking Dragon (Savage Brothers MC #1)(3)

Guess that means he picked up on my innuendo. Only now with his boys laughing, I got the feeling this was some kind of game, and that disappointed me. I had been the butt of too many jokes, way too often, mostly because of my size.

The pump kicked off and I reached down to take the nozzle out when he did it for me. His hand brushed mine. I felt a charge of electricity at that small touch and my nipples harden in reaction. Damn, that had never happened before and this guy was the wrong person for it to be happening with.

“How about you just call me mystery, that way you won’t get me confused with the millions of girls that come after me,” I smiled, though it probably didn’t reach my eyes, but he wouldn’t know that.

“Damn Nic, when I said I wanted chocolate you didn’t have to go all out bitch. Hello there Tall Dark and Do me all over.” Dani piped up, as I closed the gas lid and shook my head.

I turn back around to see him look Dani up and down and I don’t miss the interest flair in his eyes. I sigh, yep no competing with Dani. I take my pop from her hand while she is still staring at stud muffin.

“Dani meet Stud, Stud meet Dani. I popped his cherry while you were in the store,” I say walking around to the driver’s side of the car. The men laugh harder, I continue to ignore them. Dani laughs and opens the door, careful not to hit him as she gets in; I notice he closes her door. Damn. Yeah, that’s jealousy I feel, dang it. Stud doesn’t move away either. His hands are firmly propped on the passenger door and he leans in the window. Damn Dani and her sexy size eights. Still, when I look up, his eyes are on me.

“Me and my crew,” he said, and jerks his head in the direction of the men who had finally stopped laughing, “are having a party this Tuesday. You girls should come. It’s the least you can do for stealing my virginity and all Nicole. I was saving that,” he said stressing my name to let me know he had it now.

“Sorry Stud, we just moved and have some stuff to do before we start work Friday.” I reply, starting up the car. Immediately, Ludacris fills the air again, but I reach down and mute it quickly.

“Where are you working?” He asks looking straight at me and I wonder if for a minute I mistook his interest in Dani, but then I realize he’s sizing us both up. He’s a player, a total player—disappointing, but not surprising.

“Wolves Den,” I say putting the car in drive, but I keep my foot on the brake. His smile grows and he walks around the front of the car and slaps the hood.

“Maybe I’ll see you around sometime then Twinkie.”

“Sorry I don’t do repeats, it’s hard to beat that first time.” I reply waiting for him to move past the hood so I can go on.

“Now that’s damned disappointing. Maybe I can show you some things get better with practice,” he purrs.

“It’s nice you believe in miracles. Good to know I didn’t take all your innocence,” I return. He barely clears my car before I give it some gas and pull out from the pumps intent on getting away.

“Be seeing you soon.”

I ignore that warning and the chills it sends down my spine and turn the sound back up on my radio. By this time Creep from Radiohead, is on so I crank it high.

“Who the hell was that?” Dani asks when we get on the road, turning my music back down.

“Have no idea. Thought he was sexy, but he seemed to be getting his jollies off messing with me, while his buddies laughed.”

Dani was silent, but I saw her nod out of the corner of my eye.

We went down the road about a mile or so before I noticed the bikes behind us. I could see Stud in the back mirror his shades covering his eyes. Damn he was sex on a stick.

“Don’t look now, but I think your play toy is following you.” Dani said looking through her side mirror. I turned on the signal to cut down road 80, where the house we had rented was located. I couldn’t help but notice the bikes followed.

“Do you think we should be worried?” I ask, trying not to hyperventilate.

“Nah, it’s a long road, maybe they live on it or maybe he just wants to tap your ass. Worse things could happen girl. Hell, it’s been forever since you got laid.”

She wasn’t wrong. I had been with two other guys. One was in high school. I was sixteen and gave my virginity to my boyfriend Marshall after prom. Both Marshall and the giving away of my virginity were a mistake. The second was the last relationship I was in, Tony or as I affectionately referred to him, Tony the Tool. I sucked the big one at picking men.

We drove a little further along the road then turn up a dirt road on the right that leads to the house we rented. We’d found an ad online and rented it just by the pictures. Apparently the pictures were old because the grass out front would come up past my knees. Holy Splendor in the Grass, Batman!

“Shit.” Dani said and I wholeheartedly agreed as we pulled into the drive. I parked and we got out, still in shock.

We hear the bikes following us in, somehow I wasn’t surprised, but I was in shock over the house, so my attention was somewhat diverted. I was counting up the hours I’d be stuck doing yard work and praying the house was in better shape, when Tall, dark and studly parked his bike beside me.

“Nice place, Twinkie.” He said, at least this time the boys weren’t laughing.

I turned so I could face him. God he was hot. Did I forget to mention that? Even if I didn’t, it sure as hell needs repeating.
