“You want to what?” I asked slowly, sipping my coffee.

“Ride. I’m learning all about bikes but I’ve never actually ridden one.”

I scratched at my stubble, still half-asleep. Despite the comforting press of Annabelle’s body, I’d had a lousy night’s sleep. I’d kept waking and pacing the house, peeking out of the windows for any sign of trouble. What if Volos had found out where I lived?

It was the first bad night’s sleep I’d had since we’d gotten together. I used to be like this all the time. Did I always feel this bad? I was starting to realize what a mess I’d been, before I knew her. Now, I couldn’t do without her. Part of me hated the idea of letting her loose on a Harley. But all of me knew how good riding felt. I couldn’t deny her that.

Plus, ever since the diner, the fear had come back into her eyes. She’d thought she’d escaped Volos and now the psycho was back. This was about more than just learning a new skill: I figured it was her way of taking control.

“Guys’ll be weird about it,” I warned her. Outlaws aren’t the most progressive bunch. Women ride on the back of bikes, not in the saddle.

“I don’t mean be a biker or join the club or anything. I just mean learning to ride. I just want to know what it feels like.”

I sighed. “You’ve gotta do exactly what I say,” I warned, trying to kid myself I had some shred of control over the situation.

She nodded obediently and grinned. I nodded okay and then sighed again. How was it that I could snarl and make a whole roomful of muscled badasses back down, but a red-haired girl who only came up to my shoulder could wrap me around her little finger?
