bicycle. I can’t imagine she ever let you anywhere near a motorcycle.”
“Well, you see, that’s where Gabe comes in. His father owns the bike shop down the street. You know the one with the bikes I’m always drooling over? Anyway, I conned Gabe into teaching me to ride, and well, we just hit it off, and one thing led to another.” She blushed, making Gabe remember what being with him always led to. “Anyway, I’m sorry I haven’t had a chance to call you.”
“You mean to tell me that while I’ve been worried sick about you, you’ve been out having sex?” she questioned boldly, apparently too mad to be tactful.
“No,” Danny replied straight-faced. “I’ve been out having incredible sex.”
And it was Gabe’s turn to blush. His little librarian never ceased to amaze him.
“Seriously, I can’t picture you riding a motorcycle. No offense, but you aren’t the most coordinated person in the world,” Gloria commented, the disbelief still plain on her face. “You remember when we went skiing? We were just standing there on a flat section of the resort taking lessons, and boom, over you go, full face-plant. ”
“Hey!” Danny protested. “As I recall, you went down with me.”
Gabe chuckled good-naturedly, enjoying the interplay between the two friends. This was a new side of Danny. “I haven’t noticed anything wrong with Danny’s coordination. In fact I’ve found her quite coordinated.” He added the last, giving Danny a heated look.
“I just bet.” Gloria made a face at them. “So tell me, Danny, is he as good as he thinks he is, or is it just that his ego is as big as he is?”
“Oh you have no idea!”
Heat rose in Gabe’s cheeks, but he loved seeing this side of his plucky librarian.
In the end, Gabe and Gloria wound up hitting it off. The two each had an odd, dry sense of humor that Gabe loved.

“Let’s take Gloria to that little bar you took me to that first night,” Danny suggested as she and Gabe ate supper a few nights later.
“I don’t know about that. I just took you in there to scare you off. It’s actually a pretty rough place.” Gabe fully remembered how the men there had just about eaten her up with their eyes.
“Yeah, that worked well.” She smirked. “Didn’t scare me off at all, it just made you more exciting than ever. But I’m serious. It was a lot of fun. I love a live band, and she’ll think it’s a blast. Besides, as long as you’re with us, it’s okay if it’s a little rough. Nobody would be stupid enough to mess with my big bad man.”
Gabe chuckled. “I don’t know. If I saw you, I’d take the chance.”
“Please?” She pouted, batting her eyes playfully at him.
“Well, maybe, but it’ll cost you,” he teased.
Raising an eyebrow, she gave him a sultry smile. “Anything your heart desires, baby.” It seemed with him there was nothing she wouldn’t try.
Devious was the only way to describe the look that came over his face as he went to fetch the “gifts” he’d brought her from his saddlebags.
“What is it?” She leaned forward eagerly. The diminutive box seemed innocent enough.
“Finish your supper first, brat.” He smiled blandly as if the box contained nothing in the least bit naughty.
Pouting, Danny gulped down the last few bites of her lo mein and shoved the plate away. “There, I’m done.”
Gabe let out a deep laugh. “You are priceless you know that? Who would have thought that my sweet innocent librarian would turn out to be as big a pervert as I am.”
Smiling, he pushed it toward her.
Danny felt a bit like Pandora opening the box of secrets. At first all she saw was foam packing peanuts, but as she dug, she began to unearth a verity of naughty treats, but the blindfold, flogger, and a mysterious flat black velvet box seemed to jump out at her.
Oh shit! She silently screamed, not sure she was ready for this. Turning wide eyes back to his, she opened her mouth, but nothing came
