Using the Biker

All the real-life questions couples talk about with each other.

The one question he hadn’t asked Jo yet was about kids. He’d noticed her interest in them, and whenever they passed a family while they were out enjoying their time together, he saw the longing in her eyes.

Part of him was afraid to broach the subject. He didn’t know what her ex was like or if she could even have kids.

Dale was his only son, and he’d not given it a lot of thought about having another.

Holy shit!

He was thinking about it.

Breaking from the kiss, he saw her sweet smile.

“That was incredible,” she said.

“Yeah, there’s a lot more where that came from.”

The sound of a car coming to a harsh stop drew their attention. Doc didn’t recognize the guy, but he sensed the change in Jo. She tensed beneath him.

“Do I want to know who this guy is?” he asked.

“He’s my ex.”

“Like ex-husband ex?”

“The one and only.” She climbed off the bike and stepped in front of him. “What do you want, Mitch?”

“I have to listen to the rumors about you at the diner, and that’s all you’ve got to say to me? Do you have any idea what your … relationship is doing for my reputation?”

Doc tensed up, and one glance behind him, he saw the club already making their way toward him.

The club adored Jo. It probably helped she had a wicked sense of humor and she never tried to hide from him. She always stood toe to toe. Even though they’d only known each other a month, tops, he knew she was special.

“What does it matter?” she asked.

“Do you have any idea what it is you’re doing?” he asked. “What you could be doing to me? You got the house, and a nice sum every single month. You completely ruined my reputation as a lawyer because you won, and now, you’re screwing around with this trash! Do you have any idea what this could be doing to me?”

She burst out laughing. “Seriously? We’re divorced. If anyone should be worried about reputations, it’s me when it comes to yours. You couldn’t even keep it in your pants long enough. You cheated on me. I’ve moved on. I’m happy.”

“Leave,” Doc said.

He wrapped his arm around Jo, holding her close, wanting to protect her.

“Are you fucking serious right now?” Mitch asked.

“You’re not doing yourself any favors here, dick-face,” Mandy said. “I told you that you never deserved her, and guess what, I was right. You don’t. She’s moved on, and unless you want all of your bullshit and lies spread across town, you should leave.”

Doc watched as Mandy stepped right up to Mitch, clearly not afraid. Jo pulled out of his arms and did the same.

“Don’t come around here anymore, Mitch. What I have going on with Doc is my business. If you want to start something, we can. You will always be in the wrong.”

Mitch opened his mouth, closed it, and Doc watched as the fight left her ex. “Can we talk?”

“No,” Jo said.

“Come on, Jo.”

“I said no. The time for talking ended when you had sex with another woman. Some can forgive. I can’t, and I won’t. Besides, I don’t love you anymore.” She turned her back on him and walked up to Doc. She went to her toes and kissed him on the lips. “I’ll see you later.”

Doc nodded, watching her go with Mandy. The two women were walking hand in hand, out of the clubhouse.

“I didn’t read this wrong, right?” Dale asked. “She’s more than a quick fuck to you?”

“Dale, you’re my son, but that doesn’t mean I won’t whip your ass.”

His son burst out laughing. “I love it when you get all violent.”

“I love her,” he said.

“Holy shit! You do?”

“Yes.”

“Wow, that is a giant leap from just sex,” Dale said.

Doc turned toward Dale. “You got a problem with her?”

“No. I don’t have any problem. As it happens, I’m in love with Mandy. You got any advice on how to tame that wildcat?” Dale asked.

Doc burst out laughing. “Get yourself a new wildcat.”

“Not going to happen. Only one woman I want and I’m going to win her over, you’ll see.”

Leaving his son to figure out how to win over Mandy, Doc made his way into his office and pulled open the office drawer. He didn’t know why he’d gone and picked out an engagement ring just last week. He was the one to set the boundaries between himself and Jo. Sex. That was all it was supposed to be, but he didn’t want her for just fucking.

Walking through town, even taking her riding, he saw guys appreciated her lush curves and sweet smile. She had a body to fuck and the face of an angel. A woman like her shouldn’t be with a guy like him, and he didn’t want to share. He didn’t want to lose her. She was everything, and she’d become so in such a short time that it fucking scared him.
