"Hey, Blondie Wasn’t sure if I’d see you here or not"

Suddenly, she felt aard and e she wouldn’t show up? She had kind of put hi to be nice by agreeing to the ride, since she was friends with Mac

Looking down at the toes of her new boots, she said, "If you don’t want to bother, that’s fine Really, it was probably a silly idea anyway" At that moment, Ava saw movement out of the corner of her eye and looked over to see Mac and Gwen exiting the elevator into the garage "Oh, damn, perfect," she muttered under her breath That was all she needed, Mac and his new girlfriend with the big butt witnessing her humiliation as Dominic sent her on her way

"Blondie, if you want to do this, let’s et Mac’s attention Just play along and I guarantee he’ll be fucking flipping out"

She snapped her head around to look at Dorinned in response, before settling on his bike and telling her to climb on behind him "Baby, I wasn’t born yesterday Soht to the heart to realize how bad you’ve fucked up I’ you’ve taken the hit and now you’re ready for some return fire And lucky for you, that’sbike behind Do until she was settled that her crotch was going to be sitting right in the curve of his ass It was official; this was herthat didn’t require batteries She tried to ignore the throbbing between her thighs at the foreign feeling of a ht love Mac, but she couldn’t ignore the little flicker of desire that she felt at being this close to aat the poor Gwen across the pave me? Mac’s your friend"

"What are you talking about?" Before he could answer, Mac and an out-of-breath Gwen reached the

Do in response "Ava and I are going to dinner and then I’ lesson"

Ava watched Mac, fascinated, as a nerve ticked away in his jaw She couldn’t rery He usually showed her only his gentle side, even though she are that he, like most people, had a harder side "What kind of lesson?" Oh, yikes, he thought that was a code for sex, didn’t he?

"He’s teachingto try it for a while" Uh-oh, he had his hands in his hair now, looking for all the world as if he was going to yank soet a reaction out of hi to detonate Beside him, Gwen’s eyes juain She looked as if she was on the verge of solving a big puzzle and just needed a fewlook that Do away Apparently, he also liked big butts and was ready to help Ava get Mac so that he would be free to have G-lo Woeren’t there reality shows about stuff like this? Ava had never thought she’d actually be a part of sole

Mac’s eyes drilled into hers as he continued to speak to her in the saerous There is no way you can drive a Harley You’re going to get seriously hurt Now please get off and I’ll walk you back to your car" So to piss her off She was tired of being treated like an invalid Maybe she had done nothing to prove to hi a norer just about getting Mac back fro hier anymore Well, maybe she was still scared, but da other than cower in a corner She could be fearless and fun

She gave hi her arainst his ear Beneath her, the big bike roared to life and Do off Ava heard Mac yelling at their retreating backs, but she had no ti on for dear life

Oh God, Mac was right, this bike ay out of her league Ava buried her face in Do every prayer she had ever heard She even threw in Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep for good ht?
