"There are no other women. There's only Francesca." I grimace. "If her stubborn ass ever comes back to work."
"She had to take a few days off. She's working on a big project for school."
"When will she be back?"
"Probably tomorrow. She's going to see Finn Taylor tonight. He'll help her finish it." Amelia's eyes widen. She slaps a hand over her mouth. "I should not have said that."
"Finn Taylor," I repeat, instantly recognizing the name. He's a fucking genius computer hacker who lives here in Silver Spoon Falls. There isn't a computer system he can't break into. The CIA gave up trying to recruit him years ago.
"You did not hear that from me," Amelia says. "She'll kill me."
"Hear what?" I shoot her a wink, gathering up the bowls Jules sent. Dinner is going to have to wait. I've got more important shit to do.
CHAPTERFIVE
FRANCESCA
The timer starts on my special assignment in fifteen minutes, and I plan to ace it within five minutes after that. Do I feel a little guilty for getting help with my assignment? Nope. Not at all. Professor Bailey said we could use any available resources to help us find his hidden suspect file.
On Wednesdays, the Silver Spoon MC has church at their clubhouse, so their wives decided to have a female version of the meeting. All the MC “old ladies” and their close friends get together and read down and dirty books. Not long after I moved to Silver Spoon Falls, I met Scarlett Taylor when I stumbled into Gatsby Books, and we bonded over our love for dirty romance. When she invited me to attend the weekly book club meetings, I jumped at the chance to meet new friends. I even convinced Amelia to attend the weekly meetings with me. Before long, we became close with all the ladies. These women have a unique taste in books, and I’ve learned some very interesting things from the stories my new friends choose to read.
At the last meeting, I was complaining about my insane assignment and Scarlett Taylor offered to get me help. Her husband is Finn Taylor, one of the best hackers in the world. I have no doubt that finding Professor Bailey’s hidden file won’t even tax the genius’ brain. The computer whiz even promised to tutor me a little, and I’ll take all the help I can get. Establishing myself in the male-dominated field is an uphill battle, and I’ll do whatever it takes to get a leg up.
A little after I drive past the turn-off to the Silver Spoon MC clubhouse, my maps app pipes up. “Turn right in one-fourth of a mile.” Thank God for modern technology or I’d be completely lost. Scarlett wasn’t joking when she said their home is secluded.
I pull up at the home located way the heck back in the woods. Woah. This freaking place is awesome, and I feel so out of place. Taking a deep breath, I grab my laptop and head to the door. This is my chance to kick butt on my final and get a leg up on my competition in the forensics world.
“Good evening.” I smile as Scarlett, Finn’s wife, opens the door. “Thank you so much for arranging this.”
“No problem.” She winks at me. “Us girls have to stick together. “Francesca Moore, this is my husband, Finn Taylor.” As she points at her hot-as-hades, dark-haired husband, I realize this computer nerd is hotter than any of the hacker wannabes in my class. In fact, he’s hotter than just about any other man I’ve ever met. Except one. Mr. High and Mighty.
It’s terrifying how much of my brain the big jerk occupies. I thought I was in trouble the first time I sparred with Ryker over security at the hotel. Then he walked up to the reservations desk and returned my snark word for word. By the time Mr. High and Mighty kissed me to within an inch of my life, I knew I was in deep doo-doo. The big jerk stole my freaking heart before I knew what was happening.
“Nice to meet you,” I tell Finn. “And I appreciate you taking the time to help me with this assignment.”
“Any time.” He smiles at me before walking over to pull his wife into his arms. I feel a little out of place when he lays a deep kiss on her. “I’ll take you to my computer cave.” He points down a long hallway.
I follow him into the massive room that looks like CIA headquarters. “Did your professor give you any guidelines for the assignment?” We jump right in.
I’m explaining my assignment when the doorbell rings. “Excuse me,” Finn tells me and rushes over to glance at one of his monitors. “What are these fuckers doing here?” He mumbles mostly to himself before storming out of the room.
Curiosity killed the cat. I glance at the monitor and groan. There on the massive screen are Ryker and two other men—a man who is obviously his identical twin and Bender Valentine, the recently retired rockstar. Oh, man. I’m not sure how I feel about living in a town bursting at the seams with millionaires and celebrities. Or the fact that the man who stole my heart has an exact replica out there.
A loud chorus of laughter erupts in the hallway, and I perk up my ears to try to hear a little of what’s happening, but the walls in this fortress are solid. “It’s a surprise to run into you here.” My heart pounds away in my chest when Mr. High and Mighty strolls through the door followed by the three other massive men. It’s like freaking testosterone overload in here.
I barely resist the urge to fan myself as I take a deep breath. “Is it?” We both know the odds of him showing up out of the blue are astronomical. About the same as a mousy, curvy girl like me snagging the hot jerk’s attention.
“Not really.” Ryker shrugs then prowls toward me. “That’s eight, sunshine,” he growls, and my face turns red as I wonder if the other men have any idea what he’s talking about. “We might have to do it in two sessions to give your gorgeous fucking ass some time to rest between my swats.” Just great. Their chuckles tell me they are well aware of what Mr. High and Mighty is talking about.
I don’t have time to resist. The next thing I know, Ryker’s strong arms wrap tightly around my body as his tongue explores the inside of my mouth. My hussy side takes over, and I melt into his kiss, forgetting about the other three men in the room. I groan as electricity crackles up my spine and my knees turn weak.
Feeling his hard cock pressed against my belly wakes me up from my Ryker-induced stupor, and I attempt to pull back but he doesn’t let me go far. “Good to see you, sunshine.” He smiles against my lips before placing a soft kiss on my nose. “Your little avoidance scheme is over.” Mr. High and Mighty whispers against my ear, “I can’t take another second without you.” All my snarky comments fly right out the window as I realize I feel exactly the same way. We are in so much trouble. The permanent kind.
Ryker steps back and introduces me to his twin brother, Razor Montgomery. It suddenly hits me why Ryker looked so familiar the first time we met. Mr. High and Mighty’s clone was a member of Bent, along with Bender, one of the most popular bands in the world.
Razor Montgomery steps over and holds out his hand. “Nice to meet you.” I reach out to take his hand, but Ryker steps between us and slaps his brother’s hand away.
“Don’t even think about touching my fucking woman,” Ryker growls, and Bender Valentine bursts out laughing.
