Free Riding Danger (BBW Biker Romance) by Adriana Hunter Page B

Piper stepped inside and tossed her backpack on the small desk in the room, eyeing the two beds and trying to decide which side she wanted to claim.
    Watching her shoulders as they slumped and tensed, Jace stood behind her, trying to figure out if he’d done the right thing. He should never have gotten her involved in this mess, but now that she was, he felt responsible for her. At the same time, he’d just taken her away from everything she knew when he probably should have sent her straight to the police station in Dallas to divulge every bit of information she had on him. It would save her from other implications.
    On top of that, she was obviously tired and trying her best to hold up under the pressure. She could lose her job, even her nursing license, for the things she’d done, and yet she’d never questioned him at all. Before he could consider his actions and think better of it, he moved up behind her, placing a hand on her shoulders and squeezing, pulling her back against his chest and inhaling the scent of her hair, which was still mussed from the motorcycle ride.
    She sighed, and he could feel her relax against him even as he turned his head and dipped his face into the crook of her neck, placing a kiss just behind her ear that sent a shiver down her spine. He hardened instantly, wanting to possess her, to have her pressed to him like this without any barrier between them, skin on skin. Jace ran his hands up and down her arms gently and she moaned, making him grit his teeth against his own body’s reaction as his groin tightened further.
    Jace’s warmth seeped into Piper’s bones and she turned in his arms, feeling like she was unable to get close enough to him. Facing him was better. She threw her arms around his neck and pulled his head down to kiss her lips the way he’d kissed her neck. He tasted of wind and something wild, and she wanted to drink from him until she was drunk with pleasure. She threaded her fingers up through his hair, pressing his face to hers, and she sighed into his mouth as his hands swept up her back, lifting her and pressing her into his strong embrace. His passion was evident, rock hard against her stomach, which caused a fiery heat to build between her thighs.
    “Jace?” she asked, her voice so breathy she didn’t even recognize it as she moved her mouth to the corner of his lips. He ran his tongue over her neck in response, his teeth nipping at her skin, and she moaned, clenching her thighs together. “Jace, wait.”
    He growled furiously and pulled away, frantically searching her eyes. He knew she was as hot as he was; he could feel her desire. He ached with the thought that she might stop everything now, as desperately as they needed each other, as tangible as their desire for each other was in the air around them.
    “What’s wrong?”
    Her heart and mind were racing at the same speed, and only one of them making sense. She shook her head. “Promise me this means something.” She didn’t know why she insisted on hearing him say the words, but she did.
    “I have every intention of keeping you,” he rasped, his lips once again at her neck, her chin. He caressed the sensitive skin before wrapping his hand around the back of her neck, pulling her in. “And of pleasing you...over and over again.”
    Piper shuddered as the wave of pleasure washed over her. Jace’s fingers worked through her hair, pulling her face to his, his mouth covering hers in a possessive kiss.
    He wanted her now, but he had wanted her since the moment they met.  His attraction to her went beyond the physical, beyond the need to find his own release. And he didn’t even have to think about it before he breathed his desire into her ear. “I want you, Piper, and I have from the moment I saw you. But you’re more than just a gorgeous body. You have heart and you make me feel like someone important, like you care about what happens to me. I’ve never met someone like you before.”
    His words
