Eden frowned. “Were you doing that?”
“Hell, no, I was focused on my career, and guys just didn’t appeal to me.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m the kind of girl that likes a man. Not a boy, or a man boy. I can’t be dealing with that child in a man’s body.” Maeve wrinkled her nose. “It’s not attractive. I don’t want to have to baby someone, certainly not a partner, and trust me, I have watched a lot of couples end up like that.”
Eden couldn’t agree more. “You know, I saw Doc looking at you back at the fair a few months ago.”
Maeve shrugged. “He was asking about his daughter. You know what Razor asked me a few days later. Crap, I am supposed to be organizing that. I promised, and now I’m going to look unprofessional if I don’t. Shit.”
“Don’t panic.”
“No, I’m only as good as my reputation, and I do not like to let people down.” She let out a growl. “I’m sorry, but I am going to have to cramp your style.”
“What do you mean?”
“I’m coming with you tonight, and I will organize this thing with his daughter, and I can’t remember her name.”
“It’s Charlotte.”
“Charlotte, of course. I’m also going to need to check that Nancy is okay with me helping her daughter.” Maeve handed her the ice cream, and Eden took out the spoon and had a mouthful. Chocolate fudge ice cream was one of her favorite flavors, but she was also partial to peanut butter flavor.
Just as she put the ice cream in the freezer, there was a knock at her door. She made her way toward the door, and there was Razor, waiting with his leather jacket and that smile that made her feel weak inside.
“Hey,” she said.
“Are you ready to go?” he asked.
“Actually, there is a change of plans. Maeve is getting changed, and she is coming along.”
“Don’t wait for me,” Maeve said, suddenly appearing at the top of the stairs.
Eden looked up to her sister. “But you’re wanting to come, right?”
“I don’t need to worry about any kind of special code to get into the clubhouse, do I?”
“Not at all.”
“Is Doc even there?” Maeve asked. “I’m going to get dressed and ready and if he’s not there, there’s really no point in me going.”
“He’s there.”
Maeve nodded. “Good, I’m going to organize this thing for his daughter. I’ll see you guys there. Don’t wait for me.”
“You’re sure?”
“Yep,” Maeve said. “Trust me. I’m going to organize what I need to, and then I’m coming back home because I’ve got a date with ice cream.”
Eden grabbed her jacket. It was hot out, but from the looks of it, Razor had brought his bike. Razor had told her he wanted to take her for a ride, and she guessed now was the time he was going to do it.
“Okay. See you there.” She closed the door behind her and looked at Razor. “You brought your bike.”
“I thought before we headed to the clubhouse, I could take you for a ride?”
Mac had never taken her for a ride on the back of his bike. He always made some excuse that no chick rode with him. She had a feeling that was total bullshit.
“I’ve never been on a bike before,” she said.
“Then it is your lucky day, because I’m a damn good rider.” He banded his arm around her waist and pulled her in close. “Be ready for the ride of your life.”
She loved when he held her like this. He took her hand and led her to his bike. There was no helmet, and she wanted to ask him about protection, but she also didn’t want to seem like a stick in the mud. So, she stayed silent. This was about new experiences and learning each other.
He climbed onto the back of his machine, and she waited for his invite, which was a simple nod of the head and seemed like a pretty big deal, but she didn’t say anything.
Once on the bike, he waited for her to get comfortable and only then did he turn over the ignition, which caused her to wrap her arms a little more tightly around his waist.
“Are you okay?” he asked.
“Yeah, yeah, I’m good. I’m just nervous.” She let out a little laugh she didn’t quite feel.
Then, he pulled away from the curb. She needed to start having more trust, and she did trust Razor. He’d not done anything to ruin her trust. They started to make their way onto the road.
She kept closing her eyes, and she hated that she was ruining this experience, so she forced herself to open them. At first, she did hold tightly to Razor, not wanting to let go.
He picked up speed as soon as she saw the sign that announced they were leaving the town of Rivermont Ridge, and she tried not to panic.
