“Took it this morning, are you okay?”

“We need to talk.” Her voice gets serious. Angry even.

Fuck, she found out who I am.

“Okay,” I say while sending her my address. “Come over.” If she’s wise, in front of the gate she’ll turn back.

“See you later.” She hangs up without giving me the chance to reply.

Twenty minutes later a bike roar catches my attention. I clean my hands on a cloth, tug my gun behind in my waistband and head outside the garage. No one I know owns a red bike, but getting lost here is impossible. You need permission to get through the main gate and no one called me for it.

“You get lost?” I ask while getting closer.

The biker takes off the full-face helmet. “No, I'm in the right place.”

My mouth drops open seeing Ashley. “How did you get in?”

“Di brought me here.” I can see the sparkle in her eyes.

Di. Fuck! Now she’ll be on my neck! I mentally shake my head, focusing on the beauty in front of me. “Nice Busa, Princess.”

“Oh yes, beautiful and savage.” She caresses it as I stand by her. “You left without even waking me up, why?” Her chin moves up.Uh-oh, she’s pissed but tries to control herself.

“I don't sleep much, and you were sleeping blissfully.”

She rolls her eyes at me. “Bullshit, try again.”

I ran away because the way I felt with you scared the shit out of me.That's what I should have said, but my brain chooses a different path. “Look Princess, I… I don’t know.”

“Well, Rock, when you'll get that answer, you know where to find me, or not.” She shrugs while starting the engine. “You know what?” She wears her helmet. “Never mind. Thank you for making my birthday special.” Ashley pulls down her visor and within a second, she disappears.What the fuck? She left? She really did without waiting for me to talk to her.

I try to call her but it goes right to her voice mail.Fuck my life!

Chapter Four

Ashley

Ihave just fooled myself and it's all my fault. I need to stop thinking that maybe for once man can see something more than a fuck in me. It was amazing. Hell it was fabulous, and he was…

“Come on, Ash, you're not focused!” Shouts Raven. I speed up, trying an edge jump, but when I do the loop, I lose my balance. Even before it ends, I know I'll fall.

“Fuck, Ash!” she yells, rushing to me.

Getting up, I massage my hip. “I'm okay, I'll do it again.”

She shakes her head. “No, it's pointless you're not mentally here.”

“I just need to relax.”

“Last time, you don't need to get hurt.”

I skate around the rink, finding the right speed and jumping over again.

“Up, up, Ash!” Raven shouts. “fantastic, that's my girl. We're done for today, take your weekend off, and be focused, an injuryis what you don't need right now, or you'll screw up all you've worked for.”

“Got it.” I nod while stopping in front of her to catch my breath.

“Great, see you on Monday.” She waves me goodbye while heading out of the rink.
