Free Heat Wave (California Bears #1) by Rachel Real Page B

hair. He then straddled his motorcycle, Callie covered her ears to the sound of its firing engine.
    "What'cha waiting for?" Rogue grunted. "Get your sexy ass on!"
    Callie awkwardly jumped on the bike, wrapping her arms around Rouge's hard chest. Rogue stomped his biker boot on the gas pedal, and they sped off into the blue night.
    Callie's hair draped across her face. She could taste it wet in her mouth. Light streamed by in blinding streaks, it almost felt as though she was ripping through time. Suddenly, three more motorcycles revved up at their side.
    "Rogue!" Callie screamed at the top of her lungs. "Rogue! Slow down!"
    Rogue only cranked the gas even higher.
    "I never back down from a challenge..." Rogue grunted, with a wicked grin spreading across his cheeks. Rogue jacknifed around a corner speeding through the L.A. desert and sweating from the heat. Callie blinked her eyes hard, gazing at a near by gap in the road.
    "STOP!" Callie cried pummeling Rogue in the side of his ripped chest. Rogue stomped on the brake and veered only inches from the edge of the gorge. The other riders stopped short in front of Rogue and Callie. The three bikers tore off their helmets and shook the sweat from the waterlogged hair.
    "You think you can just come ridin' along in our territory and there won't be any consequences? You know the rules, Rogue. Each clan stays on their own turf..." A tall athletically built man with golden eyes growled. He wore a leather vest with his sinewy abs exposed.
    Callie clutched on to Rogue's jacket her heart pumping so hard she thought it would explode out of her chest.
    "Touch one hair on her, and I'll rip out your fucking throat!" Rogue shouted with a snarl. Suddenly, one of the bikers grabbed Callie and dragged her down by her hair. Callie kicked furiously against him, a brisk wind blew her dress up to her hips, exposing her panties. Before the biker could haul Callie any further, Callie noticed the animal like glower in Rogue's eyes. His muscles bulged in his biceps and a raze of fur shot out from all over his lean, hot sweaty back. Fangs grew form a snout and giant claws struck the flat dirt.
    Callie rocked back at the sight of a beast slowly rousing up on its haunches.
    A BEAR?!
    Rogue prowled forward and struck down on the bikers with a deadly swipe. The bikers too transformed into huge hulking beasts. But before Rogue could strike again, the three bears lumbered back into the dark. Callie could hear Rogue's hot and heavy panting in her ears. Her face and dress covered in dirt, she scooted back afraid. Without warning, the bear's hulking body began to shrink to that of a man.
    Tears fell from Callie's eyes, shocked and clueless to what was happening.
    Rogue hot sweaty body swaggered forward in the full light of the moon. His, lean sexy body was completely naked and exposed.
    Callie turned her head away. "I must be in a nightmare..." she cried.
    Rogue stood fully erect. "No, I'm real. If you're afraid, I understand."
    Callie couldn't help but fix her gaze on all of Rogue's body.
    Holy Crap! She thought.
    Callie had never seen a man who just was so fit and looked like he was born for hot sex.
    Rogue helped Callie up to her feet.
    "Come on, Let me take you home," he growled.

Chapter Four
    T hat next morning, Callie couldn't figure if what she saw last night was a dream. It did feel like Rogue was too good to be true— maybe she just dreamed him up all in her head? Callie thought. She then glanced down at her wrists and saw the painful red marks from being dragged across the dirt.
    Callie heard the soft beep of her cell phone. Is it Marlow? She wondered. Marlow usually left around this time to do a shift at her waitressing job.
    She received a text. And read it.
    Callie,
    Let me make it up to you. I'm sorry you had to see that side of me. Come with me to the fair tonight.
    —Rogue
    Does he really think taking me to ride on a Ferris wheel is really going to make me forget the fact that he's a FREAKIN'
