“He can’t leave yet,” I stated. “He has to wait for a prospect to pick him up.”

“A prospect dropped my motorcycle off last night,” Bones explained. “You didn’t hear it?”

I shook my head.

“You really sleep hard,” Bones said with a laugh. “Gimme your phone. I’m putting my number in it.”

I unlocked my cell and handed it to him. While he punched in his number, Charlie and I looked at each other. She raised her brow and I shook my head.

Bones handed my phone back to me. I glanced at the name he’d put in.

“You didn’t.”

“I did,” he said with a smile.

“What?” Charlie asked.

I let out a laugh. “He put his contact in as Bad to the Bones.”

Bones took his empty plate to the sink, rinsed it off, and put it in the dishwasher.

When he turned around, he saw both Charlie and me watching him.

He raised a brow. “What? I know what a dishwasher is. For the record, I’m house trained.”

“I like you more and more,” Charlie said, shoveling a bite of waffle into her mouth. “Thanks for taking care of her last night.”

“Happy to do it.” Bones met my gaze. “You’ll call me?”

I nodded.

He stalked toward me, grasped the back of my head, and kissed me. A noise of surprise escaped my mouth, but the kiss was over as soon as it started. Bones pulled back and grinned. “Later, Duchess.”

Chapter 10

The front door closed and Charlie let out a vocal sigh. “Okay, wow. You’re dating a biker.”

“I’m not dating a biker.”

“He kissed you goodbye.”

“That doesn’t mean we’re dating.”

“He’s willing to suffer through an evening of blue bloods in multi-thousand-dollar tuxedos just to spend time with you. That’s dating.”

“Charlie—”

“He stayed the night.”

“On the couch.”

“The whole night…just to make sure you were okay.”

“That’s not—you would’ve stayed the night, too,” I pointed out.

“I should’ve stayed the night,” she said quietly. “I should’ve insisted.”

“Honestly, I really didn’t want you to,” I admitted.
