Free Hard Ride, Part 2 by Opal Carew Page A

maybe some of his friends would come in and join them, and …
    Oh, God, what was happening to her? Her fantasies were becoming X-rated, complete with multiple big, bad, biker partners.
    He smiled down at her, still holding her close. “So I’ll see you at five. But if you need me for any reason before that, the law firm is in this building we’re in front of, so just go in and tell them and I’ll be right there.”
    â€œI wouldn’t interrupt your meeting,” she said.
    He kissed her, his lips lingering on hers. “Don’t be silly. You’re more important than any business meeting.”
    Then he released her and walked into the building. She drew in a breath, then turned and walked down the street.

    â€œHey, you were on Main Street about an hour ago with Shock, right?”
    Liv glanced up from the bright-colored silk scarf she’d been looking at to see a lovely woman with a heart-shaped face, full lips, and big green eyes staring at her. She wore a tailored linen business suit and her long, chestnut-brown hair was neatly pinned up.
    â€œUh, yes.”
    The woman smiled and stuck out her hand. “Hi, I’m Amy. I know Shock. I work for Brenner & Brenner, the law firm he uses.”
    â€œOh, hello.” She shook the woman’s hand. “He’s meeting with them now, but I guess you know that if you saw us in front of the building.”
    â€œI guess you’re just hanging around until his meetings are done.”
    â€œYeah, I’m looking around, and I want to buy something for Shock.”
    â€œOh, I could help you with that.” She smiled. “You see, I know him pretty well.”
    At the woman’s suggestive tone, Liv wondered just how well.
    â€œI’m taking an hour break to enjoy the nice weather,” Amy said. “I was just going to head over to get an ice cream. There’s a place with the most amazing homemade ice cream near the park. Want to join me?”
    Liv hesitated.
    â€œCome on, I’d love the company, and we can stop by on the way to pick up something special for Shock. I guarantee, he’ll love it.”
    â€œOkay.”
    They stopped at a little shop where there was an artisan who made mind puzzles out of wood, rope, and metal. Amy assured her that Shock loved figuring out the trick to them. Liv bought him one that consisted of two metal rods with a series of interlinked rings. Somehow he had to extract one of the rods from the rings.
    Next they walked along the tree-lined streets to a lovely little ice cream shop. They went to the counter and picked out the ice cream they wanted from the dozens of delightful flavors, then went out to the patio. Liv sat down on a decorative wrought-iron chair at a small round table, and Amy sat across from her.
    Liv dipped her spoon into her pink ice cream with chocolate chunks and cherries and tasted it. Her eyes widened. “Oh, this is delicious.”
    â€œTold you so,” Amy said, then enjoyed a spoonful of her orange and chocolate concoction.
    â€œSo how long have you been dating Shock?” Amy asked.
    â€œOh, no, we’re not dating.”
    â€œReally?” Amy’s eyebrow arched. “Sorry, I saw the two of you kissing. I just assumed …”
    Liv shrugged, feeling her cheeks heat. “It’s just a casual thing.”
    â€œHey, no need to be embarrassed.” She smiled. “It was the same with us, actually.” She took bite of her ice cream. “I mean, I wanted it to be something more.” She shrugged. “Who wouldn’t, right? He’s handsome, loaded, and … my God, no one is better in the sack than that man. And I mean no one.”
    Amy leaned in close. “So tell me,” she murmured confidentially, “did he do the whole sex contract thing with you, too?”
    Liv stiffened.
    Amy nodded. “I see he did.” She rested her arm on Liv’s forearm. “Well, you’re
