Riding Danger (BBW Biker Romance) by Adriana Hunter Page A

so much heat on the club.
    Jace agonized over calling the ATF agents, not sure what the best move would be. If he helped them nail Alec, it would ultimately destroy the club forever, but if he refused to help, he could be on the run for the rest of his life.
    He had no choice.
    With a heavy heart, he dialed the number on the card and was greeted by voicemail. Cursing under his breath, he left a brief message and hoped that Agent Morris would return his call quickly.
    Jace thought about everything that had happened over the last few days and how much his life had changed. In such a short time, he had lost the backing of a club he loved with all of his heart, turned on his friend and leader when the dirty deals became too risky, and met a curvy nurse who turned him on more than any woman ever had.
    Her name rolled off his tongue in a whispered sigh... Piper . Always there to help him, tending to his wounds and willing to go the distance for a man she barely knew. That either made her desperate or crazy. He still wasn’t sure which, nor did he really care anymore. He enjoyed being around her, and despite all of the danger that stood just outside the door, Jace found himself caught up in his fantasies about her. They hadn’t kissed since the first night when she had brought him back to her apartment. He had respected her wishes and avoided getting too close, but last night his body had been so demanding he’d had trouble sleeping. All he could think about was how beautiful she would look sprawled naked across the covers on the bed, her hair fanned out around her, a sultry smile on her face inviting him to claim her as his own, her thick frame, curvy ass, and delectable thighs waiting for him to hold on tight and take her wherever he pleased.
    And when he’d finally fallen asleep, his imagination had been so vivid he’d woken up in agony.
    Her voice shook him from his thoughts.
    “Jace, you hungry? I was thinking about going out and picking up food.”
    He thought about the risk of being seen in public, about how many people could recognize him and cause problems, but there were parts of town where the brothers didn’t hang out. He was starting to go stir-crazy and needed to get some fresh air. He wasn’t used to staying put for too long.
    “You know what? Let’s go out to eat.”
    “But what if someone sees you?”
    “I need to get out of here for a bit. We’ll just stick to this area. No one will see me.”
    “You sure?”
    Jace chuckled. “Yes, woman. I’m sure. You ready?”
    Within minutes they found themselves in a little out-of-the-way restaurant, sharing a booth in the corner. As they ate, Jace watched her, noting a difference in the way she held herself. He would never have thought she could be more attractive, and yet he felt his heart racing just watching her.
    “I’ve never been to this place,” he said as he tried his first bite, “but it smells great.”
    She waved her fork in the air, nodding. “It’s been around for like thirty years or something...pretty good food, huh?”
    He was so enthralled with his meal and conversation that he didn’t notice anyone approaching until a voice behind him made his hackles rise.
    “Jace?”
    He glanced up at Piper as the deep voice rumbled from just behind him. Turning, he came face to face with Ron, one of his old friends and club member.
    Cautiously, he greeted his biker brother, his eyes narrowing. “Ron.”
    Ron’s hand reached down to squeeze Jace’s shoulder in a friendly grip. “Oh man, it’s good to see you, brother. We’ve been worried as hell. Word has it you got shot, but no one knew if you were dead or what was going on. Alec’s been looking everywhere for you.”
    Jace forced a smile. Clearly Ron wasn’t aware that Alec had put a price on Jace’s head.
    “I’m fine. Whatever rumors you heard was exaggerated.” He started to turn back to his food, hoping he could blow Ron off and just disappear after this.
    “Who’s your friend
