that’s cool.” He glanced back toward the other guys and I followed his gaze. Onyx and Snake were still working, but on different vehicles than what I’d seen them working on that morning. Trigger and Clutch, however, were watching us.

I wouldn’t have minded eating with the other guys, but Harley really made me uncomfortable, so I smiled and started to shake my head when I heard the rumble of a motorcycle pulling into the parking lot behind me. My heart started racing as soon as I turned my head and saw Hawk sitting on his hog. Completely forgetting about the man standing there waiting for my answer I just barely contained my need to sprint across the parking lot toward the big blond biker god getting off his bike and pulling a sack of food from Aggie’s from his saddlebag.

Seeing me, Hawk grinned and opened his arms. Without hesitating I wrapped mine around his waist as he pulled me against him almost roughly. Warm lips pressed a kiss into my forehead. “Did you think I’d forgotten about you, baby?”

I shrugged. “You were half asleep when I left this morning. It wouldn’t have hurt my feelings if you had.”

“I definitely was not half asleep, sweetheart. One taste of your skin and I was wide awake. Couldn’t get back to sleep so I got up and had breakfast with Raven and Lexa.” Another kiss to my forehead and he stepped back, offering me the bag of food. “Hungry?”

“Starving.” The smell of the food coming from the bag was making my stomach hurt I was so hungry. “Will you eat with me?”

“That was my plan.” He grasped my hand and linked our fingers, tugging me back toward the garage’s office.

Harley was still standing where I’d left him, a grim smile on his face as Hawk and I passed him. “Hey, brother,” Hawk greeted him with a smile of his own. “You been taking care of my girl?”

“Didn’t know she was your girl, but yeah. We’ve been taking good care of her.” Harley muttered something under his breath, making Hawk’s hold on my hand tighten, but I didn’t hear what he’d said. After a tense moment where Hawk turned a cold glare on the man he went back to the garage bay he’d been working in all day. “Later, man.”

Hawk stood just outside the office door, still glaring after the other man. I wiggled my fingers. They were starting to go numb from the tight hold Hawk had on my hand. The movement caught his attention and he loosened his hold. “He give you any trouble?”

“Nope,” I assured him as I opened the office door. “I’m hungry, Hawk.”

After only a slight hesitation he nodded and followed me inside. I pulled my hand free and started pulling wrapped sandwiches from the bag. There was a greasy bacon cheeseburger on top and I knew it was for him. Shaking my head, I unwrapped it and sat it on the desk before pulling out the toasted club sandwich he knew that I liked. “Mm, this smells yummy.”

“It better be. Aggie’s was packed for lunch and it took Little John forever to get my order fixed. I was about to go back there and fix it myself.” I pulled out a large order of fries and stuffed one in my mouth as he sat down in my chair and pulled me down onto his lap. “This good for you?”

There were several other chairs around the office I could have sat in or even on the edge of the desk, if I’d really wanted to. For me, the problem was that I wanted to be right there on his lap. I didn’t know why with one kiss the night before I’d suddenly become comfortable enough with showing him that I wanted his touch, his heat around me always. Yesterday I would have been to nervous to stay on his lap, now it was the only place I ever wanted to sit again.

In answer I stuffed one of the fries into his mouth and kissed his cheek before reaching for my sandwich. “Guess that’s a yes,” he muttered with a smirk.

Grinning, I shifted so he could reach his burger and started to eat my lunch. Hawk ate his meal one handed since he seemed to need to have one hand stroking up and down my back at all times. When he smeared ketchup across his mouth I wiped it away for him with my napkin.

“No.” He shook his head and gave me a stern look.

I bit my lip, only to quickly let it go when I felt the pain from the small puncture wound I’d caused the night before. “You were saving that for later, were you?”

His lips twitched but the stern expression remained. “No napkin. Lick it away.”

My body decided it liked that suggestion and my panties became almost uncomfortable from dampness. From just the thought of licking his lips! Damn.

When I hesitated his expression turned even sterner. “I’m waiting, baby.”

Gulping, I leaned forward and lightly ran my tongue over the spot on his lips I’d just cleaned away with my napkin. The lingering taste of ketchup mixed with something far more enticing exploded on the tip of my tongue. My nipples hardened almost painfully and his breath seemed to rush out of him in a rough groan.

Leaning back, I shyly met his hot gaze. “I…” He cleared his throat. “I think you missed a spot. Right here.” He touched his fingers to the other side of his lips. “Yeah, I’m sure of it.”

“Nope. It’s clean.” I kissed his cheek and forced myself to get off his lap. As much as I wanted to sit there all day, I had to get back to work. Jack was paying me to do a job, not to sit and lick Hawk Hannigan’s delicious mouth all day. If he did, I would seriously work all the overtime I could.

“Guess you’re going back to work,” he grumbled with a sigh. “Can I stick around for a little while or are you gonna kick me out?”

“I don’t know how much work I’ll accomplish if you’re in here with me, Hawk,” I confessed.

A grin spread across his face, making him all the more sinfully attractive. Damn it, it just wasn’t fair that he could do something so natural and become so devastatingly sexy. “Worried you can’t keep your hands to yourself, baby?”

I felt the heat from my blush as it filled my cheeks. “Something like that,” I muttered half under my breath.

A deep, delicious chuckle filled the air and I couldn’t keep from shivering—the sound seemed to caress down my spine, stroking every vertebra. Big, strong hands grasped my waist and pulled me against him as he stood. Slowly, I lifted my head, hoping that he might kiss me before he left. His fingers tightened at my waist and he brushed his warm lips over the tip of my nose. “I’ll go so that temptation is out of reach, baby. Can I have one last taste of those damn soft lips before I go, though?”

I couldn’t have spoken if my life depended on it. I gave him one small nod and he groaned as his head lowered. If I’d thought that our first kiss last night had been mind blowing, it was nothing compared to the kiss he gave me then. My mind went completely blank to anything and everything except for the feel and taste of his lips on mine.
