It had startled her. She put it down to static electricity, but the heater wasn’t on and she hadn’t had on anything that should have caused it. With a sigh, she shoved it in the back of her mind before bounding down the stairs. The men were waiting on her in the living room talking. They grew quiet when she stepped off the stairs. “There you are. Ready to roll?” Drew stood up and grabbed her hand. “I’m ready. Sorry it took me so long.” “ Naw , that wasn’t long. We were talking about where to ride.” Drew kissed her on the cheek and pulled her toward the kitchen door. She smiled back at Ranger, who had gotten up and was following them. He had an odd look on his face for a second, but then it changed. She thought he had looked thoughtful before he slipped back into the intense expression that normally played over his face. “You can ride with Ranger for the first part of the ride. We’ll stop at some point and grab something to drink. I’ll get you then.” He waggled his eyebrows, and she laughed. He was so different from Ranger. She enjoyed being around him because he was so easy to get along with and laid-back. She liked being around Ranger, too. The difference was that he kept her on edge with a thin veil of sexuality that gave her goose bumps. Hell, who was she kidding? He could get her wet with one of his devilish smiles. She waited until he had the bike ready before she climbed on back and wrapped her arms around him. She didn’t waste time holding on to his sides. She went for the gold and plastered herself against him. She loved the hardness of his abs and the width of his shoulders. It didn’t seem to bother him, because he pulled out ahead of Drew and took off toward the interstate. “You okay back there?” he asked over the headset. “Great.” She held on as they maneuvered around traffic for the next forty-five minutes. Then they took an exit off the interstate and finally pulled into a truck stop parking lot. Ranger held the bike steady as she got off. When she pulled off the helmet, Drew was there to take it. “How are you doing?” “Fine. I’m a little thirsty, though.” “That’s why we stopped, to get something to drink.” They waited for Ranger to pull off his helmet and follow them inside. “I’m going to run to the bathroom while we’re here.” Carly slipped off toward the restrooms that were in the back. She quickly finished and washed her hands. When she emerged from the bathroom, the guys were standing there waiting on her. “What would you like to drink? You ran off so fast, we didn’t get a chance to ask you.” Drew wrapped an arm around her waist. “Oh, sorry. Water would be great.” She followed them over to the coolers and accepted a bottled water from Ranger. After Drew paid, they all walked outside to drink them. Ranger ran his bottled water across his forehead, leaving a shiny trail there. Carly had the sudden desire to lick it dry. She almost walked over and grabbed him by the shoulders to pull him down to her level. Instead, she gulped her water and nearly choked. “Hey, easy there.” Drew patted her on the back. “Don’t choke.” Why was she so aroused by Ranger today? Drew’s kisses made her hot and wet, but Ranger’s looks sent her blood boiling. It had to be the way he’d taken her the night before. It had been hard and fast. She had loved it. She knew he thought he’d hurt her at first, but she’d made sure he knew that he hadn’t. “You about ready, baby?” Drew handed her the helmet and pulled on his. She smiled and waited for him to mount up before she climbed on behind him. Looking over toward Ranger, she caught him staring at her. She stared back. She hoped he liked her as much as she liked him and Drew. It would really suck if he wasn’t all that into her. They rode for another hour or so before pulling off the interstate once more. This time, they found a pizza place and pulled in there for an early
