hands in the sink and wiped them dry before he gave his attention to Keira. He had been thinking about her ever since Dave left. She was truly a gorgeous looking woman. Even the thick black hair that she usually had pulled back into a loose bun at the back of her neck did nothing to take away from her. It only seemed to enhance the rich darkness of her skin and seductive quality of her bedroom brown eyes.
He liked that she wasn’t overly tall or too short, but right in the middle maybe around five feet five inches tall. It gave her body all of those sexy curves black woman seemed to have been blessed with naturally. Curves that he would love to run his hands over if he ever got the chance.
No, Dave was so wrong. It wasn’t going to be hard for him to spend time with Keira at all. “I told the gang I was going to take a rain check,” he finally answered after he finished staring at her pretty face. “Why aren’t you there?”
Keira shrugged her shoulder. “I wasn’t in the mood to be around a lot of people tonight. I’m just going to relax in front of the television.”
“I have a better idea,” Jim said as he walked towards Keira. “I still haven’t repaid you for that wonderful home cooked meal. Let me take you to one of my favorite hangouts. The food isn’t as good as yours, but I’m sure you’ll like it. I’ve never had any complaints about it.”
“No, I don’t think that’s a good idea,” Keira said shaking her head.
The panicked look in Keira’s eyes didn’t escape his attention. He didn’t like this scared side of her. He would rather see the feisty woman who got in his face at the airport. He was beginning to see why Charisma was troubled about her.
“It’s a good thing your opinion doesn’t matter.” Picking up a helmet, Jim handed it to Keira. “Come on let’s go.”
“I’m not getting on your motorcycle. Are you out of your mind?” Keira followed him out the door.
Jim took the time to make sure everything was locked up properly before he tried to ease Keira’s mind about his motorcycle. “Sweetheart, I never took you as the type of woman to be scared of a bike. I promise I won’t let you fall off.”
“I’m not scared of you or your bike.”
“Excellent! That is so good to know. Now let’s hit the road.” Going past Keira, Jim gave her a light tap on her ass before hopping on his Harley Davidson. He liked how Keira glared at him with her mouth open and the helmet hanging from her cute little hand.
“How dare you hit me on my ass!” she sputtered.
“I know I’m not the first man to give your luscious ass a tap. Now get over here and get on this bike. I’m starving for some buffalo wings and beer.”
“What if I don’t come over there?” Keira asked placing her hands on her hips.
“Keira, you don’t want me to get off here.” The warning was loud, clear and not up for debate.
Stomping over to the bike, Keira glared at Jim. She didn’t want to do this at all, but she wasn’t going to let him get the best of her. She wasn’t about to admit that she was scared as hell.
“How do you get on this thing?
“Swing your leg over and place your butt on the seat, wrap your arms around my waist. But the first thing you need to do is place that helmet on your head. Charisma would kill me if you got hurt while you were riding with me.”
“See, that’s a good reason for me to not go with you,” Keira said trying to get out of it one last time.
“Nice try. Get on and hold on tight.”
Jim waited while Keira did as he instructed. He could tell she was scared as hell, but trying to hold it in. He couldn’t blame her. Anyone who hadn’t been on a bike before always harbored a hint of nervousness.
His body reacted the instant Keira slid behind him and the warmth of her body touched his. It was like nothing he had ever felt before. He had to calm himself down or he wouldn’t be able to control the motorcycle on the road.
“Okay, I’m
