Why does everybody instantly assume it's Green. Why would Rachel, especially after I told her what he did to me?
Grace: No it's the patient who saved me. I'll tell you about it later.
Rachel: You better not spare me any detail. I'm on my third viewing of Gone with the Wind. I need something new.
I smiled and shut my phone off. I still needed to find my little sister a date. Surely one of the other doctors would be interested. On my next shift, I'd start the search to find Rachel “Mr. Right.”
The hospital doors slid open to reveal Tanner walking in wearing his signature leather jacket and faded blue jeans. His wardrobe was so simple but effective. I felt like a schoolgirl all over again, swooning over every guy that wore a letterman's jacket. I stood up as he approached.
“Holy fuck, Grace. You look...I'm fucking speechless.” His eyes scanned my body up and down. The butterflies in my stomach fluttered around.
I giggled and tucked a strand of loose hair behind my ear. I grabbed my brown purse that looked like a grocery bag. It didn't match the dress but there wasn't much I could do about that.
“Shall we go?” he asked.
I nodded.“Where are we going tonight?”
“I thought we'd hit a bar and get a couple drinks. Then see where the night takes us.”
“That sounds nice.” I knew exactly what he meant by that. And I had no qualms about going back to his place tonight. There would be no way I'd be able to stop my body.
Tanner led me outside to the parking lot where his motorcycle was parked. Even though Tanner was a biker, I didn't expect that. I stopped short of the motorcycle and stared at it. The black was dark and the chrome was perfectly polished. The thing looked very intimidating.
“What's wrong?” Tanner asked.
“Nothing, I've just never been on a motorcycle before.”
Tanner arched an eyebrow. “Really? Never?”
“Don't have much time to ride bikes between shifts.”
He handed me a helmet that covered my entire head. There goes my perfect hair. “Don't worry Grace, with me, I'll never let anything happen to you.”
I stared at him in awe. Is this the man I've been waiting for my entire life? Tanner put his helmet on and hopped on the motorcycle. He looked good on it. I mean really good.
“Get on,” Tanner ordered me.
I complied immediately and jumped on behind Tanner. There wasn't much space and I had to sit right up against Tanner's back. My chest was pushed against him and I tried hard to control my racing heart.
“Wrap your arms around me and hold on tight. We don't want you falling off, do we?”
I shook my head and slipped my hands under his arms and clenched onto his chest. Oh my god he's so strong. A wetness began to pool between my thighs. I hadn't touched a man like this in forever. I wanted to touch more of him. My skin sizzled with pleasure.
Tanner started the bike and the rumbling beneath me felt fantastic. We zoomed out of the parking lot in a flash. The wind caught my hair and adrenaline pumped through my veins. Tanner deftly weaved in and out of cars, barely missing them. My heartbeat spiked at every turn. I was scared out of my mind but felt safe close to Tanner. I knew he wouldn't do anything too dangerous. For him, this was probably a pleasurable stroll on a bike.
Tanner parked the bike at a bar called the Stinky Goat. This couldn't be the place he was taking me on a date? Wasn't this where he got stabbed? I didn't want to question him about it. Just let it go, Holmes. The large building was all green with faded and peeling paint. Bikes just like Tanner's were parked everywhere. I actually didn't spot one normal car in the parking lot. This was definitely not my kind of place. But when I thought about Tanner it made perfect sense. Wearing a dress like this was probably not the best choice.
I got off the bike and pried the helmet off, still trying to catch my breath. “That was out of this world.” I took out my compact and tried to fix my hair the best I could.
Tanner shut off his bike and grinned, showing off his perfect white teeth. How could anyone not fall for him? “I'm glad you liked the ride. Next time, maybe I'll go above forty-five mph.”
“Oh my god, I can't believe we were going that slow! I thought we were at least going a hundred.”
The thought of another bike ride excited me. But the thought of Tanner naked and on top of me excited me more. Where was this night going to take me?
Chapter Eleven
Tanner
Her hands wrapped around my chest tight felt way too good. I circled around the Stinky Goat a few times just so I could feel her against me for a little while longer. Her body in that dress was driving me wild. Her juicy tits were begging to be felt up and the dress was so short I could almost get a peek at that ass. The massive hard-on in my pants wouldn't go away ever since I saw her.
