helmet off and ask, "What are we doing here?"
"Thought you might be hungry. This place has the best food around." He takes my hand and leads me inside. It’s a small place, quiet, and it looks like one of those fifties styled diners. He leads us over to the booth ushering me in on one side, him taking a seat across from me. The waitress comes over and gives us both big smiles. She's an older lady with graying hair, but bright piercing blue eyes. "Hey Bear. How you doing?"
"I'm good, Ma. How’re you?"
"Oh, honey, you know, the usual. Working too much, but I can't get Pop away from this place."
"Yeah, I know. I don't think you ever will."
"You want your usual, Honey?"
"Yeah." He looks to me. "What would you like?"
"I'll just have the same." Ma nods her head and walks away. "So you come here often?"
"Yeah. I like it here, been comin' here since I was thirteen."
"So, what did we order anyway?" I ask, curious now.
He chuckles, but responds, "Burger, fries, and Cokes." Just then Ma brings over our drinks. She sets them down with straws, giving me a warm smile before she walks away.
"What made you start coming here?" I ask.
"I had a good life, until it went to shit. Found this place one day, didn't have enough money to pay, but they fed me. Been comin' ever since. I love 'em like they're family."
"What about your family, do you have any?"
"Nope, just my brothers at the club, that's it. Enough 'bout me, what's your story?"
I drop my head, taking a drink then playing with the straw. "There's not much to tell."
"For some reason, I doubt that. Have you always lived in Kansas?"
"No. I did when I was little, then my mother moved me away. I decided to come back."
"Why did you come back?"
"I don't really want to talk about it."
"Why did you become a doctor?"
Ma drops our food on the table and this burger’s the biggest I’ve ever seen. "Bear, I can't eat all this." With wide eyes, I look at him grinning.
Not dropping it, he asks again, “Why did you become a doctor?"
"My mother pushed me to become one. That's enough, let's eat."
We stop talking so we can eat. By the time I’m completely full, I've only finished half the burger and some fries, while Bear ate everything. He gets up, drops a fifty on the table, and holds his hand out to me. I take it and before we walk out Ma says, "You be sure and bring her back."
"I'll try, Ma." He gives her a smile over his shoulder, then we’re back at his bike, and he takes me back to my car. Why can't this just be easy? I've had so much fun with him and I don't want it to end. He pulls to a stop, parks, then helps me off his bike. I hand him the helmet back.
"You want to come over? This has been fun, I'm not ready for it to end,” I tell him, it's just what I was thinking.
"Yeah, I can do that. It has been fun, huh? I'll follow you." I unlock my car door, get in, and drive to my apartment complex. We walk up together, holding hands as I unlock my door and he shuts and locks it behind him.
"You want to watch a movie?" I ask, seeing him give me that fucking grin again.
"What you got?"
I point to my collection. “They’re over there. You can pick something or order one, it doesn’t matter. I'm going to take a quick shower. I’ll be right back." I go into my bedroom, picking a pair of pajama pants and a tank top, then head into my bathroom and run the water. I pull my hair out of its ponytail, get undressed, and climb in, letting the hot water fall down my body. It feels so good. Suddenly, I hear the bathroom door open. Bear steps in the shower with me, condom already on, burning me with his stare.
"You are, fuckin' hands down, the most stunning woman I have ever seen."
I smile. “You’re pretty fucking stunning yourself." He is, I can't express it enough, with all his tattoos and muscles, that massive cock standing at attention. He comes close to me, placing one hand on the back of my head, gripping my hair. He leans down, bringing his lips to mine, seeking an
