5 Bikers for Valentines

“Who the fuck cares. Just let them help. I’m exhausted,” Lindy said.

“Pardon my friend. She apparently didn’t have enough coffee,” I said.

“We’ll get you girls out of here quickly. Take this, clear out our tab, and keep the rest for yourself,” Tanner said.

I looked down at the money he was holding out, and I pushed his hand back to him. I had no idea how much money was balled up in that fist, but I knew it was too damn much. Tanner pressed his knuckles into the palm of my hand as Tyler turned his head toward me, and their faces slowly sank.

“Take it,” Tyler said.

His commanding voice sent shivers down my spine.

I opened my palm to Tanner, and he dropped the money into my hand. My eyes bulged at the sheer amount of twenties I was hanging onto. They only consumed twenty dollars in beer between the two of them, and I was holding six times that. Easily.

I cashed them out and stuck the rest in my pocket as a genuine smile crossed my cheeks.

Tyler and Tanner helped us clean down the entire bar. Lindy cleaned the glasses and weighed the liquors, I wiped down the bar and topped off all the mixes, and the twins took care of the main floor. They wiped down tables and chairs, swept the floor, and flipped the chairs up onto the tables to dry off. What usually took Lindy and I an hour and a half only took forty minutes, and I was ecstatic to be getting out of the bar before five in the morning.

“You have to tell me all the fucking details,” Lindy said as she hugged me.

“Details of what?” I asked.

“Don’t you dare stand here and tell me you’re not taking those men home. You fucking deserve it. Have fun and call me when you wake up. I want all the damn details.”

“Lindy, I don’t even know if I can. My mother’s probably home for fuck’s sake,” I said.

“Isn’t that her car?” she asked.

I turned around and saw my mother’s beat-up piece of shit Jeep sitting at the corner of the bar.

“Yes,” I said, groaning.

“That means she’s probably at that guy’s house instead. And if you take them home and she’s there with him, call me. You can come to my place.”

“I’m not bringing guys home with me while you’re in the other room,” I said.

“I’d clear out. Get a hotel room. Emma, it’s been too fucking long since you’ve had some fun. At least, I think. I still haven’t figured out why the other three brothers fucking kissed you when they left. Either way, you’ve been holding out on me. And I don’t like it. So, when you’ve finished doing whatever it is you’re gonna do with these two, I want every damn detail.”

“You’re the best. You know that, right?” I asked.

“Fucking right I am. Have fun,” she said.

I watched as Lindy walked back to her car and got in. Tyler and Tanner came up and stood behind me as I watched my friend pull away. I wanted to make sure she got out on the road before I thought about getting in my own car. But before I could make a move, I felt the twins slip their hands around my waist.

“Still up for hanging out?” Tyler asked.

“Your call,” Tanner said.

“Was there something I did to make you think I had changed my mind?” I asked.

“We just wanted to make sure,” Tanner said.

“Would you like us to follow you?” Tyler asked.

“Yes. Though, if my mother’s at the house, we might have to divert. Just follow my lead, and I’ll get us somewhere,” I said.

Their hands were massaging my waist, and I melted into their touch.

“Lead the way, beautiful,” Tanner said.
