Page 14 of Jana's Fierce Biker

“I figured you’d both need it.”

Gunner picked up a cup and took a long drink. He could feel the caffeine immediately perk him up. Jana walked into the kitchen as he unwrapped one of the rolls.

She looked so prim and professional in her scrubs, her hair pulled back into a tight ponytail, and her stethoscope around her neck.

Her eyes widened when she saw the array of food on her table. “Wow, this is wonderful.” She looked at Chains. “I’m sorry, I don’t think I caught your name?”

“Chains.”

Gunner bit his lip to keep from laughing at the confused look on her face. “Come here and sit down.”

She looked at her watch. “I don’t have a lot of time.”

“Then eat fast,” Gunner said and grinned when she rolled her eyes.

She managed to drink a cup of coffee and a whole roll. He suspected she hadn’t eaten the night before, but he wouldn’t ask.

Jana threw her garbage away and grabbed her purse. “I have to leave, so can you guys lock up when you’re ready to go?”

Gunner was a bit shocked. He couldn’t remember anyone trusting them enough to leave them alone in their house. “Sure.”

She smiled. “Have a good day.”

He grabbed onto her arm and twirled her around. “You forgot something.”

She looked dazed. “What?”

“My kiss.”

Her eyes widened. “Really?”

“Yes.”

He cupped the back of her head in his hand, bent, and kissed her. It wasn’t hot because she had to leave, and he didn’t want them to get aroused and be unable to do anything about it. It lasted longer than he had thought, but he hadn’t used his tongue or pressed her against his body.

When he raised his head, he smiled down at her. Her eyes were still closed, and her head tilted back as if she was waiting.

He turned her around again and gently pushed her. “Go to work. I’ll see you later.”

He had to fight to keep from laughing at the disgruntled look she gave him over her shoulder before she walked out the door.

He and Chains finished eating and cleaned up before locking the door and heading home.

Gunner was happy no one asked him questions when he walked into the living area. He headed to his room to crash for a few hours, and then he would call the hospital and check on Jana. He wouldn’t interrupt or try to talk to her. He just wanted to see that she was doing okay.

When he woke up, his prez, Striker, had a job for him that would take him out of town for a few days. He wasn’t happy about it, but he couldn’t say no. As he and several of his brothers drove out of town, he had to remind himself that she’d been alone for a long time before he came along.

He tried to put the fact her cat had been murdered in the back of his brain, or he wouldn’t be able to keep his head on the job. It was the best he could do.

****

The next day, Gunner had Chains check on Jana, and he came back with the information that she was done with her long shift and was home for the next few days.

He was relieved but felt like he missed her. He had never felt that way before. Although holding her all night, even without sex, had been so calming, he could see himself getting used to it quickly.

The idea of him becoming weak because of her flew out of his mind when he watched the brothers, who had their own women, interact with them and the work they still got done. If anything, they were stronger and worked harder because they were happy.

Although he had secretly been envious of the brothers with women, he hadn’t thought it would happen to him. A few weeks ago, he’d been perfectly happy fucking the sluts at the house, but now it nauseated him when one of them tried to touch him.
