Tessa’s gaze swung over to the fireplace where a large family portrait hung over it. “I don’t really care about school, to be honest. My first year there was fine, I guess. But it mostly was a means of getting away from my dad. I have nowhere else to go, and without that money, I’m stuck here.”
“Not anymore,” I grunted as I pushed to my feet. “You’re coming with me.”
She shook her head, then dropped it back so she could look up at my face with an expression of wonder. “I don’t even know your last name. But for some reason, I feel safe with you.”
I smiled and bent down to clasp her hands and pull her up. “You have good instincts,” I told her. Instead of saying what I really wanted to—that she was mine. I’d thrown enough at her, I didn’t want to push my luck. “Go pack a bag, baby.”
“Where are we going?”
I turned her toward a staircase across the hall and patted her ass to get her moving. “Right now, I’m taking you somewhere to have your injuries checked out.”
“A hospital?” Her face screwed up like she smelled something bad. “I don’t like them.”
“Good thing I know someone who does house calls,” I teased.
“Then why aren’t they coming here?”
I sighed and walked her over to the bottom of the stairs. “It was more like a figure of speech, baby. Now go get some shit so we can go see a doctor. No hospital, I promise.”
She came back down with a small duffel less than five minutes later. I took the bag, then put my hand on her back and guided her out the front door. We walked to the driveway, and she halted. “Where is your car?” she asked as her gaze swept the empty driveway and the curb in front of the house.
“No car,” I murmured, pressing on her back to get her moving again. It was the wrong time for a confrontation with her dad, and I’d already tested chance by staying at her house for so long since I had no idea where he’d gone.
“What?” She stopped again and looked up at me like I was crazy. “How are we leaving?”
“Motorcycle club,” I said, patting my cut. “What do you think I rode here?”
“B-but–I–um–I’ve never ridden a motorcycle!” she sputtered.
I grinned. “Good. I’m your first.”
Tessa turned beet red, and I wanted to beat my chest like a caveman because I knew she was thinking about a different first. My girl was a virgin. It wouldn’t have changed a damn thing about what I felt for her if she hadn’t been. But knowing I would pop her cherry, that I was the only one who would ever feel her sweet pussy wrapped around me, and the only one to see what she looked like in the throes of ecstasy…it was intoxicating and made it hard as fuck—literally—not to grab a room in that motel and make her mine right then and there.
However, I didn’t want my first time with my woman to be rushed or in a crappy motel. So I used the walk across the street to calm my raging hormones and talk my dick into standing down.
I managed to get myself to a point where the ride wouldn’t be excruciating. Well, that was what I thought until I was riding down the road with my woman’s soft body pressed against me, her arms gripping my torso, and the heat between her legs radiating through both layers of our clothing.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
Taking things slow with Tessa just might kill me.

TESSA
When I fantasized about Kian riding in to save me, I hadn’t imagined that it would be on a motorcycle. Being on the back of it with him was amazing. I loved the freedom I felt as the wind whipped around us…and being wrapped around his muscular body. But pulling up in front of a motorcycle club was still one heck of a surprise.
When Kian parked in front of a sprawling concrete building—after driving through a manned gate, for goodness’ sake—I asked, “I thought you said you were taking me to someone who does house calls?”
“The Iron Rogues have a doctor who’s a member, like we do,” he explained as he climbed off the bike and then helped me to my feet. “I’d prefer that you saw Patch for your injury, but that’s not an option. So Blade will have to do.”
“Thanks for the ringing endorsement.”
Kian grinned at the big guy standing in the doorway. “You can’t blame me for preferring Patch when he’s my club brother and I’ve seen him work.”
“From what Mac told my prez when he called, you’re stuck with me today unless you want to go to the hospital. Which you’re still welcome to do, even though I’m a fuck of a lot better than the doctor you’d end up with in the emergency room. Not to mention you won’t have to wait for fucking ever to be seen.” His gaze landed on me, and he asked, “She’s my patient?”
Kian stepped between us. “Yeah, but give us a second.”
