“Oh, good. I thought I might have been too drunk to enjoy myself properly.”
Joaquin shakes his head and hands me a helmet. “Put this on. Protect that pretty head of yours.”
He thinks I’m pretty! Instead of relishing that idea, I put it on and hop on back easily before snuggling close to his hot, hard body that smells like pure man, leather, and motorcycle.
I hold him tight and enjoy being close to Joaquin, but my thoughts drift to Maven. She’s a cool chick, a nice woman Hell, she’s one of the best women I know, but she isn’t cut out for jail. I mean, not thatI’mcut out for jail either, but at least I’m crazy, and I have no problem cutting a bitch. We have to find a way to get Maven out sooner rather than later.
When we get to the jail, Wilder is there waiting impatiently, and we all go into the small visiting room together. There’s no six-inch thick glass between us, just a small round table with an officer looming in the corner.
“Maven!” I rush to her and wrap her in my arms as tight as I can. “Honey, are you all right?”
She pulls back with a shaky smile and red eyes, nodding to reassure me when I can see how shitty she’s doing with my own two eyes. “I’ve been better, Willow. How’s the bakery?”
“Good. I mean, great, really. Kenna is manning the register and using her rich girl manners to stop all the gossip. Letty is in the kitchen baking up a storm. I’m doing a couple specials,” I tell her and wait for her approval or rejection. “What do you think?”
“Sounds good. Stop worrying so much, Willow. You’ll do great. I just know it.”
I nod. “Do you need anything while you’re in here? Clean underwear? Vibrator? File and chisel?”
Maven laughs. “I’m all right for now but thank you. Just keepFor Goodness Cakesgoing while I’m here, and I’ll love you forever.”
“I’m gonna hold you to that,” I tell her with a soft smile. “I’m sorry this shit is happening to you, Maven. I’m sure Wilder and the guys will have you out of here in no time.”
“Thanks.” Her gaze slides to Wilder, and I know it’s time to give the lovebirds a minute alone. “For everything, Will. Seriously.”
“No thanks necessary, babe. That’s what girlfriends are for. I’m glad to see you’re all right. Next time, I’ll bring you a toothbrush shank, just in case.”
She laughs and pulls me in for another hug. “Thanks for being you, Willow.”
I squeeze her back and sneak a look at Wilder. “I’ll let you two get a quick finger bang in under the table.”
“Willow!” Maven laughs again, and I know my job here is done.
“Come on, good-looking. Let’s give these two some alone time.”
Joaquin nods and wraps Maven in a hug, whispering something in her ear that makes her smile. “Good to see you, Maven.”
With a hand on the small of my back that makes my brainwaves fizzle out, Joaquin leads me out of the jail and into the bright California sunshine.
“What did you say to Maven?’
He leans in and smiles as he whispers in my ear. “Jealous?”
“Curious,” I shoot back with my flirtiest smile and put a hand to his chest.
“I told her when in doubt, a kick to the pussy hurts as much as a nut shot.” His teasing smile puts a smile on my face.
I don’t believe him at first, but the more I think about it, the more it sounds like the kind of advice he would give. Outrageous but helpful. I laugh out loud and shake my head. “Does it?”
He nods and licks those full lips. “Fuck, I don’t know. I don’t have a pussy, but I’ve heard it doesn’t feel good.”
My gaze stays on his lips, so full and pink against his smooth brown skin. “You know, Joaquin, I haven’t forgotten about that kiss. In fact, I haven’t stopped thinking about it since it happened.”
“Good to know,” he says and rakes his brown eyes over my body, a gaze as heavy and real as an actual caress. “Because I’ve been thinking about where else you might like to be kissed.”
Holy. Fucking. Shit.
I take a step closer until his masculine scent surrounds me and press my body against his. “The answer is everywhere, Joaquin. Now you’ve made me eager to see how well you kiss those other places.”
