Page 4 of Jana's Fierce Biker

Jana looked toward the high fence, and that’s when she heard all the voices. She would have said yes any other time, but she wasn’t in the mood to be around people.

“Thank you for the invitation, but I really am tired.”

He moved to sit on the edge of the lounger facing her. “I’m guessing it was a bad day?”

Jana didn’t want to talk about work right then. She closed the book that had fallen to the side. “How have you been?”

He smirked at her, but he thankfully let his question go.

“Good. I’ve been helping a few of my brothers with a project.”

“How many brothers do you have?” Jana had thought Penny only had one brother.

“At last count, I think there were forty-two of us.”

Her eyes widened.

He grinned. “I’m talking about the club, Babe. We consider each other brothers.”

“Oh.” She hadn’t even thought of that. “I think that’s wonderful.”

“It is most of the time,” Gunner said.

They heard Gunner’s name called out.

“I guess you have to go?” she said.

“Yeah, I better. I can’t leave Chains or Tony to do it, or the meat will be black and inedible.”

Jana smiled and wrinkled her nose. “Yes, you better.”

He squeezed her leg before he stood. “I’ll be seeing you around.”

“Stay safe.”

He grinned. “I always try to.”

Jana snorted and shook her head before watching him walk away. Damn, that man had a nice butt.

She gathered the book she’d been reading and her blanket before walking into the house, closing and locking the door.

She looked at her bedside clock to see it was later than expected. She had to have been asleep for close to two hours.

After brushing her teeth, she slid into bed and grinned when Snookie immediately jumped on. She used her fingers to comb through the cat’s fur, making her purr.

“You always make me feel better. Why is that, do you think?” she asked the cat. She just blinked at her before making her bed next to Jana.

She thought it funny that the cat was the only one she’d ever slept next to in her whole life, and she made a pretty great bedmate.

It was the best she could do, and she wouldn’t complain. Her life was ten times better than she ever thought it would be.

Chapter Three

Gunner carried his friend and brother into the ER.

“Fucking bastard,” Iron said in disgust.

Gunner agreed. Their friend, Snake, was always reckless, but this time, he’d gone too far and ended up in the hospital because the wound was too severe for Alicia to take care of back at the compound.
