Bikers Don't Use Brakes (Hellbirds Motorcycle Club) (3 page)

Flashing a friendly smile at Sonya, Sam asked, “So what made your knees weak – the bike or Derek?”

“Both,” Sonya said and then flushed pink.

Sam nodded like she had already known the answer and asked what she could get for them.

“Link in the kitchen?” Derek asked, and when she nodded he said, “Ask if he’ll make up one of his feast platters for us, and I’ll have a beer.” He looked questioningly at Sonya.

“Red wine, please,” she said.

“Bring the bottle,” Derek said. “And Sonya needs a room for one night, maybe two. I don’t suppose the cabin is free?”

When Sam said it was and went inside to place their orders, Derek turned to Sonya and said, “Okay, biker girl?”

She could feel her face flush and wished she could control that childish reaction. She smiled at the striking man who had carried her to this special place in his arms. Sam’s comments gave her the impression that she wasn’t the first woman he had brought here, but she really couldn’t care at the moment. She was here with him now, and the whole day had a dream-like quality that made it seem outside of real life. She should ask him if he had someone special, but she was afraid of the answer.

Garlic bread and coconut shrimp gave way to a platter laden with a veritable smorgasbord of bite-sized taste sensations. Sonya hadn’t expected this when Derek had suggested they “grab some grub.” They fed each other morsels from their communal plate and attempted to discover their favorites. Licking of lips and each other’s fingers made the meal a sensory experience. No other diners had appeared, and she wondered if he had made that happen.

Sonya sipped the last of her wine as an orange sunset bathed them in its glow. In the soft light, the man across from her seemed like a vision she had dreamed up.  She swallowed and then said, “So, the cabin …”

Derek leaned back in his chair. “It’s just down the road and around the bend.”

“Will you join me there?”

“I was hoping you’d ask.”

“Could we ride on the Harley?”

He threw his head back and laughed before he said, “It’s a short ride, and I hope you’ll wait for me this time.”

Sonya felt like she had waited her whole life for him, but what she said was, “It takes two to tango, Derek Neal.”
