I think I’m going to like this guy. And that kind of scares me.
Every time I end up catching feelings for someone, I’ve had to keep away from them.
Now, I don’t. This is new. I’m not used to it.
“Tell me about yourself,” I say in between bites.
“Well...” he blows out a breath. “I was born and raised in Los Angeles. I’m thirty-one, have a twin brother, Gavin. We’re part of the Steel Devils MC. My brother and I own an autobody shop. Our father is the president of the MC, and we have a younger sister, Dakota, whose pack mates are the Prez and VP of another chapter.”
“So my Alpha is a biker man.” I grin.
“Yup,” he chuckles.
“Can you take me for a ride sometime?”
His eyes light up. “I have it outside the bus. We can drive it there to the compound to pick up the others if you want.”
“Really?” I ask, lighting up. “I thought bikers don’t let anyone else ride their bike?”
“Normally, they don’t. Our bikes are our babies. But we make an exception for our Old Ladies. Lulu has been the only other person to ride on mine. And now, you.”
“So, I’m your Old Lady now, huh?”
Brady’s eyes flick between mine before he grips my chin, tilting my head up. “You’re so much more, Ally,” he murmurs before pressing a kiss to my lips.
It’s soft and slow, but it leaves my head spinning.
“We need to talk,” I rasp, feeling the heat between my legs grow.
“About what?” he asks, looking concerned.
“If you’re going to keep being all hot and whatever, I’m going to end up demanding you fuck me.”
A shocked laugh slips out of him. “I don’t think that would be an issue.”
I bite my lip. Because, for me... it is. Well, it’s not. But seeing how I haven’t had a real cock inside me since I was twenty-one, it’s kind of a big deal.
The reality that my next heat is going to be one not spent alone, locked in a hotel with a number of toys to do the job, has me both thrilled and terrified.
Who’s going to be a part of it? Will Liam and Nate join in, too? Is that too much, too soon? What about Lulu, would that be too much?
“Sweetheart, you okay?” Brady asks, voice tinged with a hint of concern.
I shake my head, snapping myself out of my own thoughts. “I’m good.” I halfheartedly laugh. “Sorry, still sleepy. Let me go shower and get dressed, and we can head over and get the others.”
“I’m not sure Lulu will be awake yet,” Brady says, looking down at his phone. “No text from her.”
“She’s still not a morning person either?”
“No.” He grins.
“Are you?”
He shrugs. “I’m a night owl, but I don’t mind the mornings. If I wake up and everyone else is sleeping, I normally just take a drive, enjoying the morning stillness before the world wakes up.”
That makes me smile. “That's me, but at night. I like to just be alone, watching the stars, listening to the sounds of the night while everyone is sleeping.”
“You like the quiet?”
