Mex shoots her a grin.

God, he’s gorgeous.

I really wouldn’t mind another night with him.

I take the beer, drinking it down as quickly as I can.

“Tell me there is more of this?” I say, my voice husky as I look anywhere but at the biker whose eyes are penetrating deep into the side of my head.

Why is he making me nervous?

Nobody makes me nervous.

“Plenty more,” Bonnie says, hooking her arm through mine. “Let’s go.”

“Hey, wait up,” Myla calls, rushing after us when we turn to leave. “I’ve got one better.”

Holding her hand out, she presents three small pills. Brows going up, I nod, impressed. “Well, you girls are more fun than I would have guessed.”

Myla throws a pill into her mouth, swallowing it down with a beer. “Little tip, make sure you get fucked while you’re high. It’s the best feeling ever.”

Bonnie gasps, and then bursts out laughing as she takes a pill. “I’m up for the challenge.”

Myla turns her hand toward me. I take the pill and throw it down. “I’m always up for the challenge.”

I must say, it’s kind of nice to have a break.

To be away from my world for a little while.

To enjoy something else.

I might just stay a little longer yet.

“Looks like you’re havin’way too much fun.”
