Page 9 of One Night with the Biker

“In the big picture? No. Now? Fuck yeah.”

“Can we talk for a bit? That can be tender, too.”

I wasn’t winning this one unless I put a gag in her mouth. “As long as it isn’t about Dayton.”

“You almost sound jelly, which is insane. I’d classify that as insta-love. You might decide to stalk me.”

I grinned. “That will never happen, sweetheart. I feel the same way about jealous chicks, so I can assure you jealousy is an emotion that never afflicts me.”

“That means you’ll never let your guard down enough to care what a woman does.”

“Probably not.”

She squirmed against me and the hard point of one of her nipples pressed into my side. “Did you, um, did it matter what Trinity did?”

“Louisiana shouldn’t have brought her up. That’s my private business.”

“Did you love her?”

“No,” I said honestly. “I don’t believe in fucking love, Ainsley. Just like you.”

“I don’t believe in romance. I’m a big advocate for falling in love.”

“You can’t have one without the other.”

“I can argue that point.”

“Not in the fucking bed!” I snapped. “Every time you move your luscious body, my cock jerks. He needs relief.”

“I can ask why you refer to your cock with a pronoun, but I don’t think you’d appreciate that conversation.”

“I sure as shit wouldn’t. He also has a name, if that makes you feel better.”

She roared with laughter. “You named your dick?”

Chuckling, I turned on my side and faced her. “Have you changed your mind, sweetheart?”

“No, Reese,” she whispered.

“Then trust me to take care of you.”

“Lou Lou really built you up. He said you’ve been celibate for six months and before that you didn’t sleep around much.”

“I wasn’t aware he had such an interest in my dick.”

She ignored that. “I’m not on any birth control.”

That didn’t make sense if she knew she wanted to fuck. “I brought condoms.” Not going to lie and say I wasn’t disappointed I wouldn’t fuck her bare, but I appreciated her honesty.

“Nova helped me research and understand the rhythm method. She said sex for the first time is uncomfortable enough without condoms and said I might have an allergic reaction to them. Anything from anaphylaxis to gastrointestinal, skin, and respiratory.”

“An allergic reaction?” I’d never heard of such bullshit nor could I believe Ainsley bought into that. Just what the fuck was her friend trying to accomplish by making Ainsley afraid of condoms? “I’m clean, but there are other reasons for protection.”

“Nova wouldn’t lead me astray. She wants my first time to be memorable and enjoyable. She’s like a sister to me and is really the only woman I have to talk about stuff like this.”

I wasn’t keen on trusting a chick who fucked around with a married man. Louisiana’s age and experience gave him an advantage over such a younger woman. Still, she was an adult with free will, which she used every time she saw him. I refused to fucking believe she didn’t have an inkling that he had a wife. Jinx meant everything to that stupid motherfucker. Nova must’ve had signs about his marital status.

“She said you’d appreciate it too,” Ainsley went on, unaware of my racing thoughts. “Condoms take away from a guy’s pleasure.”
