Inferno：A Devil Chaser’s MC Romance(6)

Chapter 3

Tessa



Myles was doing a great job helping with the ideas for the fair. They were making a list of games and booths that they would set up all around the school. This was their main fundraiser, so the games had to bring in the crowds. They were working in Tessa’s classroom and had spent the last hour talking and coming up with ideas. Myles seemed to enjoy working with Tessa, and she liked seeing him smile. He had a beautiful smile that reminded her of his dad’s brief smile from the day before. She caught herself thinking about him several times since their encounter. She was shocked that she could actually be attracted to a biker. He was totally not her usual type. She had always gone for the clean-cut, khaki and polo shirt, type of guy. Her ex-husband wore a suit every day. Now, she was imagining herself wrapped up in the arms of a man in leather. She really needed to get out more.

“Myles, you’ve done a great job today. It’s going to be hard to get all this together in just a few weeks, but I know people are going to love these games. I really appreciate your help,” Tessa said.

“Thanks, Ms. Campbell. This is actually kind of fun. It doesn’t seem like I should be doing this as my punishment for fighting. I’m sorry about that. Bradley really does get on my nerves though. He needs to have his ass kicked,” Myles said with a smile.

“Language, Myles. And yes, Bradley is hard to deal with sometimes. He’s given several students a hard time. Just keep your distance and don’t let him provoke you again. So, did you get a chance to talk to your dad about it?”

“Yeah, he was pretty cool about everything. He said I’d be grounded until I’m eighteen if I got in another fight in your classroom. He didn’t seem to like that you were upset about it or something.”

“What do you mean?” Tessa asked.

“I don’t really know. He just kept telling me that I shouldn’t cause you any more trouble and to be on my best behavior when I’m around you. I think he wants me to make a good impression or something,” Myles replied.

“You aren’t any trouble, Myles. Actually, you’re one of the smartest kids in my class, and I’ve enjoyed having you in my room this year. Besides, it’s nice to have someone who will keep me on my toes. I never know what to expect with you,” Tessa said as she started cleaning up their mess. As she was finishing putting things away, she heard the rumble of a motorcycle outside. Just thinking about him being outside made her heart begin to race and her knees get weak. Bishop had been on her mind all day, and she was nervous about seeing him again.





Bishop had already made his way up to the front steps when Myles and Tessa reached the front door. Bishop was wearing faded jeans that fit snug on his hips and his DC’s cut with a tight white t-shirt. Tessa’s heart beat faster as she stepped closer to him.

His dark blue eyes met hers with a heated look. She smiled and waited for him to speak first.

“He do alright today?” Bishop asked. His voice was husky, and his eyes had a sparkle that drew her in. She couldn’t look away. She took a deep breath and suddenly felt her nipples stiffen against her red sundress. Damn, I’m getting turned on by Mr. Hot in Leather!

She cleared her throat and shifted her feet. “He did great. He had some really great ideas for the fair. He’s such a smart young man. Thank you for picking him up. I’ll be glad to drop him off at home if you ever need me to,” Tessa said apprehensively. She wasn’t sure how he would feel about her coming to his home.

“Thanks for the offer, Teach. I should be able to get him each day, but I’ll let you know if something comes up. Load up, Myles. We have to head out,” Bishop said as he moved in closer to Tessa. His eyes slowly roamed her body, and she almost moaned at the gesture. “Looking good today, Teach. Bet the boys have a hard time paying attention in class with you in the room.” He gave her a wink and headed to his bike. Myles climbed on and the bike roared to life. Bishop never took his eyes off of her as he pulled from the curb. Tessa did all that she could at that moment; she smiled and gave a small wave goodbye.





When Tessa finally made it home, Drake was already starting in on his daily ritual.

“Mom, what’s for dinner? I’m starving!” Drake shouted from the living room. He was finishing up his homework while Izzie laid on the floor watching her favorite cartoons.

“I’m trying to figure that out now. Do you have anything in mind?” Tessa asked even though she knew the answer.

“Chinese!” Drake said hopefully.

“No, Drake. I’m actually going to fix something here tonight. How about spaghetti? I can make a salad and garlic bread to go with it,” Tessa said as she was already starting to brown the hamburger meat.
