someone from the corner of her eye. A woman, tall, brash, wearing the highest heels she’d ever seen. The woman was dressed more for a nightclub than for her garage.
Dropping the kickstand, Delaney turned to the woman and shielded her eyes. “Can I help you?”
The woman looked her up and down and gave a smirk. “I’m here to meet my Will. I was sure he’d be here picking up his car. He promised me a ride today. In more ways than one, if you know what I mean.” The woman said this with a joyful glee that held just a smidge of venom.
“Well, I don’t usually discuss clients with strangers. You can wait if you’d like, but I plan on leaving soon. There are no pick-ups scheduled today.” Delaney did not want this woman hanging around her shop. As for her claim on Will, well that wasn’t something she was sure about. She really didn’t know the man that seemed so interested in her. For all she knew he was attached to this other woman somehow.
“Well, I’ll just stay if you don’t mind, of course,” the stranger purred.
Chapter Twelve
D eciding she didn’t have much choice, she took up a casual pose against her bike with her arms crossed. If Will was seeing someone else, she’d be damned if she showed it affected her. Hopefully, he would have a good explanation when he showed up. Delaney didn’t have to wait long before she heard the rumble of a bike coming down the road.
What she had imagined didn’t do any justice to the sight before her. His strong body was encased in black leathers, and his red bike growled under him. Delaney couldn’t help her body’s response to the sexy image that pulled up next to her bike. The man had her pussy clenching just watching him slickly maneuver his ride. He looked like a hungry panther prowling towards her. It made her think of what he would look like prowling towards her in the bedroom.
Pushing the thought away, she tried to control her breathing as he kicked down the stand and leaned the bike to its side. She was coaching herself to breath normally as he pulled off his helmet. How that man didn’t have helmet hair was beyond her. Instead, he looked more delectable than she remembered.
Once he swung off his bike, he set his helmet down and pulled off his gloves. He strode over to her and gave her a smile that was brighter than the sun. His smile faded as his gaze traveled over to the woman who was trotting towards him in her heels.
“Willy! I’m so glad I caught you. I was just telling this person that I was here to get a ride from you. I didn’t think I’d be riding on your bike. This is going to be fun!”
Will couldn’t help but look at Sybil like she was insane. His cat was telling him that whatever had transpired between Sybil and Delaney was something he needed to rectify and fast.
“I don’t remember mentioning any kind of ride with you today or any day, Sybil. As you can see, I’m here to ride with Delaney today. I’m sorry you didn’t ask before showing up, but I’m clearly unavailable to you.”
Sybil flicked her gaze between Will and Delaney. She didn’t like being turned down in front of another woman.
“I could have sworn you mentioned taking me for a long ride, Will,” she said trying to sound seductive.
Will let out a snort. He folded his arms across his chest. “Sybil, when have I ever given you the impression I was interested? I’m thinking you heard about Delaney from Artie and thought you had to come over here and try to claim turf that never belonged to you. I’ll make this easy for you. See that woman over there?” he said, pointing to Delaney. “That is the woman I am interested in. I would go so far as to say that is the woman I have chosen. I would never look at another woman when I can look at her. I’m not interested in you, and I never was. We could have avoided this ugliness if you’d listened to me the first time. Now, I suggest you head back to your room and think about setting your sights on someone that
