“Yeah. That doesn’t mean I wasn’t aware of you before then.”

“Wait, what?” I pulled back just enough so that I could stare up at him. The flames of the bonfire danced in his eyes.

“You think if you hadn’t approached me, I wouldn’t have approached you?”

“You called me jailbait the first time we met.”

“Of course. How else was I going to get you to show me your ID so I could get your name,” he said with a slow smile.

My entire body softened, and his hand wormed its way down from the small of my back to the curve of my ass. He pulled me against him, showing me how much he wanted me.

“I’m not asking for you to meet me halfway,” he said as he stared down at me. “I know you’re not ready for halfway. But maybe a quarter of the way?”

“What does a quarter of the way look like?”

“More nights like tonight,” he said.

“Which part?” I asked. “The dinner part, the fighting part, or the back of your motorcycle part?”

“All of it. And I like you on the back of my bike, Duchess.” He angled his head down.

“I liked being there,” I whispered just before his mouth covered mine.

We kissed in the darkness, the bonfire behind us, the stars above us, the budding promise of a future ahead of us.

“So tell me the truth,” I said against his lips.

“Hmm?”

“Are your biker parties always this tame?”

He cradled the back of my neck. “Truth?”

“Yes, the truth.”

Bones pulled back to stare down at me. “When it’s us single guys, no, it’s not always this tame.”

I swallowed. “Women with big hair, big tits, big attitude?”

“Yeah.”

“Have you…ah…been to one of those types of parties since we, you know, started this thing?”

“No.”

“I mean before we told each other we weren’t sleeping with other people.”

“The answer is still no,” he said.

“Seriously?”

“Yeah, seriously.

“But why?” I asked in confusion.

“Because I didn’t want anyone else after I met you.”

“Sentiment like that will ruin your street cred,” I joked lightly.
