I’d always refused to take anyone on my bike until I knew that person would be important in my life.

Looked like I needed that helmet now.

Christ. I smiled to myself at how I was already including Riker in things.

I didn’t do shit by halves. I went all in. But at least I was sure about this with him.

“Do you ride?” I asked when he got into the passenger seat.

“I could ride you,” he offered sweetly, almost coyly, but I knew there was a devil underneath all that, and I fucking loved it.

Lips twitching, I started the car and reversed out, saying, “Another time.” Once driving, I asked again, “Motorbikes, Riker. Have you ridden one before?”

“I have two. A Harley and a Buell 1125R. I like speed, but I like to cruise too. Can we go for a ride one day? I’ll try and slow down for you.” He grinned.

Snorting, I reached over and took his hand in mine, resting them on my thigh. “I’d like that.”

When I glanced at him, since he was quiet and still, I saw the softness in his gaze as he stared down at our joined hands.

He enjoyed my attention on him. Didn’t matter being with a guy was new for me. I wanted to touch him, so I did it. Besides, some of those soft emotions expanded my chest from knowing he liked the attention.

“This feels natural,” I told him.

His head popped up, gaze locked onto mine, lips smiling. “It does and I love it. I like that you know everything there is and still want me around. It makes me so happy that you already know about my animal. My belly won’t stop fluttering.” He bounced in the seat a bit and cackled. “Bet that was a surprise. Seeing Deacon and then hearing I’m one too.”

“The biggest.” I nodded.

“And you’re handling it so well. Way better than Rio and Kieran. I should give you head again for it.”

Chuckling, I shook my head. “Later. Let’s deal with this shit, go get dinner someplace, grab some more clothes for you, and head back to mine.”

“Then?”

“Then you can tell me how you like your dick sucked.”

He gasped and pulled our hands up to hold them against his chest. “Really?”

“Yeah, sunshine.”

“Yay!” he cheered and palmed his hardness while mine twitched under my jeans.

“For now, tell me who Rio and Kieran are.”

“They’re the best. Not as good as you. No one will ever be as good as you. Rio is Deacon’s fated, and Kieran is Nox’s. Deacon found Rio first. We killed his father because he was dealing drugs and other stuff to the public.”

Holy shit. He just blurted that out. Obviously, his trust of me formed from being his fated. Satisfaction had me smiling, knowing I got to be privy to all the details.

“Then Nox stalked Kieran, who was Rio’s professor when Rio went to college. Then Kieran got mugged. Nox saved him and killed his muggers. Now they’re joined at the hip ever since.” He nipped at my fingers and grinned. “Kinda like you and me.”

I winked over at him. “Couldn’t resist gettin’ you outta there.”

We stopped outside the gates to the compound. I flicked a couple of fingers to the brothers on guard and waited for them to open the electric gates.

Riker peered out the window with what looked like awe since his mouth hung open.

I’d like to know what he saw. To me, the space out front left for bikes and cars was a boring gravel area. The building was an old hotel that Pops had bought back in the day, and we really hadn’t done much to it. It held a large conference room where we met for church. A dining room that we used for our common area since it was off the kitchen. We hadn’t needed all the table and chairs, so they were to the left of the room and the right was where we added in some couches, billiards tables, and a bar. There were three offices, two were for Coms, our tech brother. The last was my own, and then thirty bedrooms all with their own bathroom.

“This place is big. I think it’s bigger than our house. Maybe older, but way cool.”
