the purr of a half dozen bikes. Coming up the hill was Blaze with part of his crew behind him. She fell to her knees, tears streaking her cheeks, as relief poured through her. She’d never been so happy to see someone before and couldn’t do much more than cry as he leapt off his bike and ran to her side.
Blaze wrapped her in his arms and she clung to him fiercely.
“We’ll take care of the trash,” one his brothers said. “You just worry about your mate.”
Luna pulled away to watch what happened to her brother, but Blaze hid her face against his chest.
“Honey, you don’t want to see what happens,” Blaze said. “Just rest easy
knowing that you’ll never have another problem out of your brother or the Desert Dogs. The Steel Riders will send them a message they would be stupid to ignore.”
“The Black Daggers President is still waiting for me.”
“Then we’ll deal with that too, but another day. Right now, I want to take you home, let you soak in my tub for a bit, and then claim you all over again. When I thought I’d lost you, my heart nearly stopped. Don’t ever scare me like that again!”
She nodded against his chest and tightened her grip on him. She heard gunshots and flinched, but didn’t look to see what was happening. If Blaze said she didn’t want to know, she’d trust him. Besides, if the cops asked her anything, she’d be able to deny knowing what happened to Ricardo or who had done something to him. It was better that way. She wouldn’t betray Blaze by fingering any of his brothers in the crime.
Blaze lifted her into his arms and carried her to his bike, then eased her down onto the seat. She swung her leg over and waited for him to get on, before wrapping her arms around his waist. With her eyes shut tight, she felt the wind whip through her hair as they zipped along the streets. The bike came to a stop and she opened her eyes to see Blaze’s home for the first time, her home now too.
It was a cute bungalow with a small front porch, a fresh coat of paint, and
blooming jasmine near the door. It wasn’t at all what she would have expected a biker’s home to look like, not a bachelor like Blaze, but she liked it. He helped her off the bike, and before she could take a step, he swung her up into his arms again and carried her up the steps.
Inside, he let her slide down his body while he flipped on the lights. She smiled at the typical bachelor furnishings and let him lead her down the hall to the bedroom.
The bed was massive and she couldn’t wait to try it out. She barely got a look before he was dragging her into the bathroom and running some water for her.
“Strip,” he said.
She flushed, knowing that while they’d had sex, this would be the first time he’d seen her completely naked. She managed to pull off her clothes without too much embarrassment, but couldn’t quite look him in the eye. Blaze tipped her chin up and forced her to meet his gaze.
“You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen,” he said. “I want you to get in that tub and I’m going to wash away their touch. When you get out, we’re going to put it all behind us and focus on starting our life together. Deal?”
She nodded.
Blaze helped her into the tub before removing his cut and shirt. Luna leaned back and wet her hair, letting him wash the long, dark strands. As his hands coasted over her body, she felt her nipples tighten and she began to ache for more. He had a look of intense concentration on his handsome face, and she wondered if she could convince him to do more than just go to bed tonight. She wanted to start their life right, by making love with her mate.
“You’re quiet,” she said.
“I’m reassuring myself that you’re really here and you’re safe. I about lost my damn mind when I lost sight of the SUV, but someone alerted Flash about a grizzly sighting and he brought me a change of clothes, as well as a small crew to track down Ricardo and get you back. I owe
