Story Excerpt

“I’m a travel nurse.”

“No shit. So you, like, go from hospital to hospital and work?”

“Basically, yeah. I have an agency I work through. I pick and choose what cities I want to go to and they look for openings there. I fly or bike there. I ship my clothes ahead of me. They provide the apartment for me to live in while I’m there. I haven’t decided where to work next, so I’m just exploring right now.”

“Man, that’s a pretty damn good life.”

“So, what do you guys do?”

“Not a lot different from you except we do construction. We have a couple of contractors we work with, and when something comes up we’re interested in, we go.”

“That’s amazing. I mean, amazing that we work so similarly.” Tina shook her head.

Cole returned, as did several others. Zack could see that she was trying to put faces with names. He wondered if she’d get riled if he introduced her to all of them again. Probably.

“Ready to ride, everyone?” Cole asked.

There were hell yeahs all around. They climbed on their bikes and started them up with a roar. Zack loved getting started in the mornings. Right now, though, he was starved. He pulled out after Cole and hoped that Tina was right behind them. He wanted the gang around her to keep her safe. He wasn’t sure why he suddenly felt that way, but he didn’t want anything to happen to her.

They arrived at the diner and were greeted by their usual waitress. She welcomed them in then blushed when they all hugged or squeezed her. She was a good fifty-plus years old, but they liked her because she had treated them nicely the first time she had seen them. From then on, they always stopped there when they were out this way on their way home.

“What can I get you guys—oh, and gal. You’ve added a new member. Oh, and what happened to Kyle and West?” she asked with a knit in her brow.

“They’re getting married, and this is Tina. She’s riding with us to Dallas.” Zack made the introductions. “Tina, this is Myrtle.”

“Good to meet you, Myrtle. I take it you don’t mind it when they descend on you.”

“Nope, don’t mind a bit. They tip well.” She winked at them.

Zack smiled and waited his turn as she took everyone’s order. He was surprised when Tina ordered a big breakfast. He was used to women eating light meals to keep their figures. He didn’t think there was a damn thing wrong with hers. She had curves made for riding.

“So, what are you going to do when you get to Dallas? Got a nursing job lined up?” He filled Cole in on what she did for a living. He nodded at the similarities in what they did.

“Nope, no job lined up right now. I just wanted to see Dallas and see if I might like to work there sometime. I’m not sure when I’ll hook up another job. I’m enjoying a few weeks off.”

“Sounds good.” Cole glanced Zack’s way. He knew what he was thinking. He gave a short shake of his head. He didn’t think it was time yet to talk to her about staying with them. Especially not around the other guys.

They ate their breakfast and then, after settling up, got back on the road. They stopped for lunch at a truck stop about four hours outside of Dallas. They were closing in on home. He couldn’t wait and hoped they would have Tina with them when they arrived.

“I’m going to run back out to my bike for a second and get another shirt. This one is tight across my neck.” Tina stopped Zack as they were getting ready to pay.

“Okay. We’ll be right out.”

They paid their tab and walked over to the convenience store side to grab some water for the road. They had just paid for the water when one of the guys ran inside calling for them.

“Man, get out here. Someone tried to grab Tina, and she’s shaken up.”

“Fuck, I shouldn’t have let her go outside without us,” Zack cursed.

Cole was right behind him as they all ran outside. She was sitting on the ground next to her bike with several of the guys standing around her. They parted as soon as Cole and Zack walked up. They both bent down to check on her.

“Hey, baby. Are you okay?” Zack could tell by the tears that she wasn’t.

“I’ll be okay in a minute. I got scared.” Her voice was husky.

“I don’t blame you. Let me look at you. Did he hurt you?”

“Just my throat. He grabbed me by my throat and tried to pull me over to a van. When I finally managed to break his grip on my neck, I screamed and he ran.”

“Let’s see what he did to you.” Cole lifted her chin and cursed.

“Hell, he left bruises, Tina. He could have strangled you. I’m sorry, baby. We shouldn’t have let you come out alone.”

“It’s not your fault. It’s fucking daylight. I wouldn’t have thought anyone would try something in broad daylight like that.”

“Your knees are skinned, too.” Cole looked up at the men. “Someone go get something to clean them with.”

“I’m okay, it’s just a scrape. My jeans kept them from getting much damage.”

She started to get to her feet, but Zack stopped her. “Don’t move till we get you cleaned up. Are you hurt anywhere else?”

“No, really, I’ll be okay.” She still had a difficult time talking.

Zack didn’t like that. If she hadn’t been able to break his hold, he would have had her.

“You realize we need to report this to the police. They need to know about a near miss and the area he was last seen in.” Cole pulled out his cell phone.

“That’s going to put me behind getting to Dallas. I don’t want to ride there in the dark by myself.”

“You won’t be by yourself. Cole and I will ride with you. The others can go on ahead of us.”

“Hell no,” Shane said. “We ride with you. We were out here talking and just about let the bastard get her.”

“See, you’re not alone,” Zack told her.

ADULT Excerpt

Zack’s finger rasped at her nipple through the silky material. He pinched it, leading Tina to close her eyes in pleasure. Heat suffused her face as she grew damp between her legs. Her breath grew quick and raspy as he followed through with the other breast as well.

“Fuck, you’re wet. I can smell you.” He reached down and rubbed her pussy through her jeans.

“Zack. We need to stop.”

“I know.” He backed her up against the door. “I just need a taste, baby. Let me have a taste of that sweet pussy.”

“Oh, God.”

He reached between them and unzipped her jeans. When she didn’t stop him, he shoved them down her legs and went to his knees before her. He licked his lips looking up at her. Then he leaned in and licked her hot cunt. As if the taste of her was more than he could take, he began lapping at her as if his next breath depended on it.

Tina threw her head back against the door and moaned. She was vaguely aware of Cole walking into the room. He leaned in and nipped at her jaw.

“You’re so beautiful when you’re aroused like that.

“She tastes like spicy nectar, Cole. You’ve got to have some.” Zack moved over and Cole knelt down in front of her.

He leaned in and tongued her clit, then delved between her pussy lips. His mmm of pleasure was nearly her undoing. Cole spread her pussy lips and began licking in earnest.

Zack chuckled and stood up. He stared deep into her eyes and slowly lowered his head until his lips were a hair’s breadth from hers. He was so close she could smell her arousal on his lips.

“I want to taste your breasts. Will you let me take off your bra?”

She nodded her head in a jerky movement, and he reached out with his tongue and licked her lips. She opened her mouth and he plunged inside, using his tongue to explore hers. They slid along each other like old lovers, until she was sucking on his in time to Cole’s licks to her cunt.

Zack continued his kiss while he used his hands to unclasp her front closure bra. He peeled back the cups, leaving the bra hanging on her arms. She felt his fingers lightly brush across her nipples before he pulled back from their kiss and leaned in to lick each one. He groaned, giving them both a long, slow rasp of his tongue.

Tina whimpered at the barrage of sensations between Cole’s mouth on her cunt, licking her pussy lips, and Zack’s on her breasts. They both alternated between licking and nipping until she was on her tiptoes trying to escape the overwhelming need to climax.
