Inferno：A Devil Chaser’s MC Romance(41)

“Yeah, we’re almost done with this one.”

“I’ll be right back.” Bishop headed over to the counter to get the drinks. Tessa couldn’t keep her eyes off of him as he walked through the crowd. She noticed several women admiring him, and it pleased her to know that he was there with her.

“You’ve got it bad, girl. I knew you’d end up falling for him. I think he’s pretty cool,” Courtney said smiling at Tessa.

“Yeah, he’s pretty great. We had a great time tonight. He took me to the Olive Pit. You know how I love their bow-tie pasta. We talked for hours, and he just makes me like him more every time I’m around him.”

“I’m glad you decided to take a chance on him. It looks like he’s pretty into you, too,” Courtney said with a sincere smile.

Tessa looked over to Bobby and asked, “Have y’all had fun tonight?”

“Your girl’s a hoot. She’s a big talker. I like it…. She’s got more stories than the Old Testament. I’ll never have to worry about finding something to talk about,” Bobby said as he reached for her hand.

“I know what you mean. Sometimes my brain can’t keep up with her mouth, but you gotta love her. She always keeps you entertained,” Tessa said laughing loudly.

Courtney cleared her throat and said, “Hello? Guys… I’m sitting right here you know. I can hear what you’re saying.” Tessa started to laugh even harder.

Bishop walked over with their beers. He passed them around and then sat in the chair closest to Tessa. He put his arm around the back of her chair and used his other hand to pull her closer to him. “They got a good band tonight?” he asked Bobby.

“Yeah, it’s the same group that was here a couple of weeks ago when we came out for Ace,” Bobby replied.

“They’re pretty good. Maybe I’ll get my girl to give me a dance or two,” Bishop said grinning at Tessa.

“I’d love to dance. This place is really a neat place. I’ve never been here before. Who are all these bikers?” Tessa asked.

“They’re from all over. Most of them either have a place out on the lake or just stopped here after their ride today. Lots of folks like to ride out by the lake when the weather is nice. This is a great place to come after being on your bike all day,” Bishop replied.

“Do you come here often?” Courtney asked Bobby.

“Not really. We usually end up at the clubhouse, but this is a cool place to hang out from time to time when we ride,” Bobby answered as he took a drink of his beer.

They talked for over hour, enjoying their drinks and listening to the band. Bishop reached for Tessa’s hand, pulling her out of her seat and over to a corner to dance. Several other couples were gathered around dancing to the music the band played.

As they began to dance, his lips curved into a sexy grin. He pulled her close to him as their bodies swayed to the rhythm of the music. He leaned in brushing his lips across her neck. She wrapped her arms around his neck and grasped the ends of his hair at the back of his neck. When her breasts pressed against his chest, he could feel his cock growing harder against the denim of his jeans. He ground his hips into hers as his hand brushed over the curve of her ass.

He moved his mouth over to her ear and whispered with need in his voice, “It’s time to go. Let’s tell them goodnight and head out,” Bishop said as he led her over to Bobby and Courtney.

“Umm…we’re heading home. It’s been a long day. I’ll call you tomorrow morning, Court,” Tessa said, waving goodbye as she quickly followed Bishop out of the bar.

When they made it back into the parking lot, Bishop turned to her and said, “We’re going back to your place. It’s closer, and I’m ready to get you out of that skirt.” As he helped her into the truck, his hand roamed past the hem of her skirt and tightened on her upper thigh. He was just inches away from her increasing heat when he pulled his hand away. His eyes never left hers as he walked over to his side of the truck.

No words were spoken as they drove to her house. He could feel the warmth of her body as she moved closer and reached for his hand. When she glanced up, he could see the desire she felt for him. His foot pressed harder against the gas pedal as his truck roared down the road. He needed her, and he knew she felt the same way.

Tessa



Tessa was overwhelmed by her feelings for Bishop. She had never wanted a man with such intensity. It was more than lust that she felt for him. She realized that she was falling in love with him. She never expected to feel this way about him, but now she couldn’t imagine ever letting him go. He made her feel safe even though she knew that danger surrounded him. His confidence all but consumed her, making her trust him in every way. Just the touch of his hand left her wanting more of him. She was in a constant state of anticipation, need, and want.
