The ride to the club was exhilarating and being wrapped around Saint while the bike hummed under her, was a complete turn-on. “How did you like it?” He asked, pulling off his helmet.

“I think that I liked it too much,” she admitted. Juno handed him her helmet and he put it on the handlebars with his own.

“What does that mean?” Saint asked.

“It means this,” she rounded his body and straddled his lap. Juno kissed him like she couldn’t get enough of Saint.

“We have an audience, honey,” he said. She turned around to find Vixen, Sprite, and Phoenix standing at the back door, all three smiling like crazy women at her.

“Shit,” she whispered.

“Right, we need to stick a pin in this until later. I have a feeling that they have a few questions, and I need to talk to Savage. Then, we can go home and pick up where we left off.”

“On the bike?” Juno asked.

“On the bike,” Saint whispered into her ear, making her shiver.

“Tease,” she whispered back. Saint lifted her off his lap and put her on her feet next to the bike. Within seconds, the girls surrounded her asking a million questions. Juno felt like her head was spinning and she knew that they wouldn’t let her go until she answered all their questions.

“Hey, how about we give Juno a break,” Banshee insisted. “We can grab a few beers and find a quiet place to interrogate her.”

“Gee, thanks,” Juno grumbled. She turned back to find Saint standing behind her.

“I’ll find you soon. I just need to talk to Savage and then, we can spend the rest of the night together.” He bobbed his eyebrows at her, causing the rest of the women to groan, as he walked into the back of the bar.

“Ahh, the carefree days of kids not being cock blockers all night,” Phoenix said.

“I’d love to tell you that you’re wrong, but I can attest to that being true,” Banshee agreed.

Banshee grabbed them all beers and told them to get settled in the back corner of the bar. Juno grabbed the booth that they usually shared and braced herself for the questions that the girls were going to throw at her. Banshee set the tray of drinks on the table and slid into the booth next to Juno.

“So, let’s have it,” Banshee ordered.

Juno sighed, “You all have eyes and could see that Saint and I are together,” she said.

“Last time we saw you at your old apartment, you said that you two weren’t together,” Vixen reminded.

“Yeah, well, things can change. It happened a couple of weeks after I officially moved out of my apartment. I wasn’t lying when I told you that we weren’t together.” Since she had come clean with her friends, she hated thinking that they might never believe her again. Juno didn’t want them to think that she had lied to them again.

“It’s okay,” Phoenix said. “You don’t have to worry about explaining yourself, babe. We believe you.”

“You do?” Juno asked.

“Yep,” Sprite said, “I just have one question—are you happy?”

Juno looked across the bar at Saint and smiled when he caught her sneaking a peek. “I am,” she admitted. “I didn’t think that I could be this happy, actually.”

“Oh my God,” Vixen breathed, “you’re in love.”

“Am not,” Juno said, defiantly.

“Yeah, you are,” Phoenix insisted. Juno sat back in the booth and sighed. Was she in love? How would she even know if she was? She didn’t have much experience with men, nor did she have anything to compare her feelings for Saint with.

“I have no idea what I am, but right now, all I know is that I like being with him. I’ll figure out the rest as I go,” Juno said

Saint cleared his throat, and she nearly jumped out of her skin. How much of their conversation had he heard? Juno hoped like hell that he didn’t hear the part about the girls saying that she was in love with him. She didn’t want her friends to scare him away, and Juno had a feeling that admitting that she in fact did love him would have him running for the hills.

“Can I steal Juno away?” Saint asked. “The clouds are looking nasty out there and I think we should head out since you don’t have any experience on a bike.” She giggled at how obvious Saint was being, and the rest of the women seemed to catch on.
