Fucking Storm.
“Yeah.The Devil’s Jesters were in town.Ran her right off the road in the crosswalk.She fell and scraped up her hands and knees.The poor girl was terrified.”
“Storm said you took a liking to her.”
Doc groaned.“Storm needs to get his ass kicked.Ihelpedher.She was sweet and adorable, and I’m almost positive she’s Little.She had these cute fucking barrettes in her hair with pom poms on them.And she had on a pair of hot pink combat boots.It was impossible not to like her.But she recently moved here to get away from her abusive ex.She’s not looking for a new man.”
Gabriel listened to him, and when he finished talking, his friend smiled.“She might not be looking for a new man, but a good Daddy is a totally different thing.”
He groaned and shook his head.“She said no when I asked to see her again.It’s fine.”
“Is she safe here from her ex?”
“She said she is.She lives in the apartments on Grand.I’m going to ask the guys to do some ride-bys to keep an eye on her place, though.”
His friend chuckled.“Uh, huh.I bet you are.”
After taking one last drink of his tea, Doc took his cup to the sink.“I’ll see you in the morning.”
Gabriel laughed as he walked out of the kitchen.Doc rolled his eyes, but a smile played at his lips at the thought of the Little girl with the kitten keychain and those damn barrettes.He hoped she’d change her mind and call him.
As he turned the corner to go down the hall, he bumped into Remi.She was Kade’s Little girl, and her dad was a member of the MC.She was as much a part of this club as any of the men were.
“What are you doing up?”he asked.
She gave him a mischievous smile and shrugged.“I wanted to get a snack.”
He tilted his head and studied her.Remi was a sweet Little girl but she was naughty.All of them were naughty.Ivy, Remi, and Carlee.And the three of them together were chaos waiting to happen.
“Night, Uncle Doc,” she murmured as she turned in the opposite direction from the kitchen.
“I thought you were getting a snack.”
She spun around and giggled.“Oh.Right.I forgot.”
When she brushed past him, he sighed.Why did he have the feeling she was up to something?
Three
Harper
She sighed and ran the back of her hand across her forehead.It had been the longest day in the history of long days.Apparently half of Shadowridge was having a birthday, a wedding, or a baby shower this weekend.Not only had she decorated six cakes, but she’d taken eight more orders to be picked up the next day.Sheesh.
Harper looked down at her apron.She was a mess.Only an hour to go before Dot’s closed.Then she’d be able to go home and soak in the tub.With her vibrator.While she fantasized about a certain guy who hadn’t left her mind all week.
Every time she’d heard the loud roar of a motorcycle engine over the past few days, she’d practically given herself whiplash trying to see if it was Levi riding down Main Street.A small part of her had hoped he would come into the bakery to see her again.It was ridiculous for her to want that.She’d been very blunt with him about not being interested, and he seemed to get the message.It showed a lot about his character that he’d respected her wishes.
Stupid wishes.
Why did she tell him she wasn’t interested?The man was gorgeous.Tall and masculine but gentle and kind.Plus, she’d felt incredibly safe with him.
The sound of the bakery doorbell snapped her out of her thoughts.A few seconds later, the front counter clerk poked her head into the kitchen.
“Harper, one of our regulars is here to place a cake order.”
She nearly groaned.It wasn’t that she didn’t want the orders.Staying busy was a blessing right now.It kept her mind off things, and she loved her job.All her favorite hobbies involved art, so being able to decorate sugary, delicious cakes for a living was definitely something she didn’t take for granted.
“Okay, coming,” she said before she quickly washed her hands and brushed off as much dried icing from her apron as she could.
