I laughed as he managed to get a cell signal and did indeed order a pizza later. We had to walk down the road a mile or so to a place the driver would go but we got our pizza. Then we ate and got a good buzz before we were under the lean-to again. By morning, we were wrapped in blankets, the wind blowing around us. I hugged him close, my heart beating madly in my chest, the wind singing in my ears.
Chapter Four
Jake
I got to the club just in time. I hated being late, but after the day I had just experienced I was surprised I made it. I had just dropped Dana off at her house and went home to get my bike. I couldn’t wait until I could take Dana for a ride in the hills. The feel of her holding onto me would be epic, I knew. I knew it because everything else we did together was epic. I was smiling when I strolled into the clubhouse, but I stopped in surprise. Several tables were turned over, chairs were broken and I was pretty sure at least three people were passed out on the floor in the corner.
“I thought the party was at Flatteries Ranch last night,” I said to no one. I heard a groan and turned towards the bar. Crazy Mary and Little Lisa stood up from behind it, straightening their clothes.
“It was until we got kicked out,” Little Lisa said. “I guess starting a bonfire in the barn wasn’t a clever idea.” She was a plump, but sexy woman about five feet with jet-black hair. Her t-shirt barely fit, as usual, and Crazy was only wearing what looked like a mini-dress of leather. Both looked drunk.
“In the barn. Shit, did it burn down?”
Little waved her hand and lifted her other one with a cup of coffee. “Naw, we put it out. Flattery wanted us gone, though. With all the hay in the barn, I am not surprised,” she said.
Crazy snorted.“Party pooper. We was having fun,” she said and reached over to tweak Little Lisa’s large breast. Lisa giggled and swatted the woman’s hands away.
“And we had fun, too. Go ahead and do what ya gotta, Jake. The others will wake up while you are and move on. You know how it is.”
I smiled. I did indeed. I had passed out a few times in the club so I couldn’t complain. I went back to the kitchen and that room wasn’t too trashed so I got more coffee going and then got out the cleaning supplies. It wasn’t normally my job. I was pretty sure, though, that one of the passed-out figures was the guy whose job it was. I figured what the hell, I had nothing else to do today. Dana had a barbecue with her brother so I was left to my own devices. I knew she would not be far from my thoughts, though. I wiped down the bar and set up the coffee I knew everyone would need. Then one of the men in the corner got up, frowning and looking around. Little and Crazy were nowhere to be seen at that point. It was Tom who walked towards the bar. He was still wasted. Jeeze, what did they do last night?
“Where is Kelly?” He demanded angrily.
“Where’s who?” I asked, coming around the bar.
“Kelly, the chick I came in with. She wouldn’t’ have dumped me so whatja do to her?” He yelled in my face, grabbing my shirt. I heard others waking in the corner but didn’t care. No one grabs me like that.
“She ain’t here, dumb ass,” I said. “You have three seconds to let go.”
He snarled. “Oh yeah? Or—” That was as far as he got when I head-butted him and he fell to the floor.
“I meant one second, dumb ass, now calm down.” But another one grabbed me from behind, his breath’s stink enough to kill a steer at Flatteries Ranch. I lifted a foot and brought it down on the arch of the guy’s left foot. He cried out as I heard a snap of bone. I spun, seeing another guy rushing towards me. I picked up a chair but before I could use it, we both stopped when somebody shouted, “What the fuck is going on here?”
It was the Hammer.
“I was just cleaning up, Billy,” I said. “Then these bozos woke up and Tom claimed I took his girl and they attacked.” Billy the Hammer walked in quietly as the others babbled about how that wasn’t true. Except Tom who was cradling his bloody nose and not bothering to speak. Hammer leaned over him and checked out his nose and then looked at David’s foot. Then he turned to me.
“A broken nose and a broken foot, yet not a scratch on ya. You are wasted as a caretaker here, man,” Hammer said. I smiled slightly.
“Naw, I like the hours,” I said. He chuckled before turning back to the two men on the floor.
“Hey, Tom,” Hammer yelled in the guy’s ear, making him gasp and hold his head. “That Kelly chick left after you passed out the second time. Jake had nothing to do with her. You guys get yourselves home and sleep this off. We’ll talk later. I meant now.” All three jumped up and staggered out the door. “I hope none of them drove,” Hammer muttered. “So where were you last night? It was quite the shindig.”
“I was checking out a personal prospect,” I said with a grin. He smiled, too.
“Nice, will she do?” For Hammer it was all about the club. I understood that about him and appreciated it. Even if it was occasionally uncomfortable.
“Don’t know yet. I gotta make sure before I bring anyone around this lot, you know,” I said and he laughed and nodded.
“Good thinking. Looks like you were cleaning up.”
“Yeah, I got the time. I wasn’t having that good a time last night,” I said and got another laugh.
“You’re a good man, Jake. I’ll help ya out in a minute. I wanna check the spare rooms for other casualties.” He moved off towards the stairs. I got the broom as I heard him walk down the upstairs hall. I heard two shrieks and realized where Crazy and Little had gone.
“Goddamn it, Crazy. In the bathroom, really?” I heard Hammer yell. I chuckled as I swept up. Soon I was whistling, wondering what Dana would say about this place.
I spent the day at the clubhouse as more people came in looking hung over. They got their coffee and by lunch the place was full. The Flaming Dragons always used Sundays as a day of rest together for fellowship. I enjoyed the day eating and hearing stories about the previous night. It had been for sure an amazing shindig at the ranch. After dinner, I said my goodbyes and made my way home. I secured my rolling iron and covered it before going into my trailer. I got a beer and went outside to the porch with my phone. I lit a cigar and then my phone rang right on schedule. Dana was punctual.
“Hey, baby,” I said.
“Hey, sexy man. How are you doin?”
I smiled and felt a tingle. Even over the phone her voice got to me.
“I am excellent. Even better now that you called. Did you have a good day?”
“Well, it was good. My friend Ruth came by and we caught up. We haven’t had a chance at that in years. Then Mitch came over and we cooked up some burgers and dogs. It was fun.” Then her voice got a touch quieter. “I missed you, though, Jake.”
“I missed you too, darlin’. I sure had a fun Saturday with you.”
“Oh, baby, that was amazing. Every bit of it. The news says we may have a few more weeks of sunny weather before fall really hits. Maybe we could do it again. I’m already thinking of it as our spot,” she said shyly. My heart did a flip. So that was what it was like, I thought.
“I would love to go back, anytime,” I said. “I will probably be dreaming about it tonight. So, did you get the scoop on the fire rescue?”
She laughed and told me the tale. Apparently, a woman, now thought of as Doctor Quinn Medicine Woman, had gone to the fire station to look after an injured deer, despite the risks. Her old man, the VP of Wild Wolves, went after her with his Road Warrior. It turned out to be more dangerous than they thought and barely made it back.
“Crazy was right. That shit was bad ass. I am glad everyone came out of it. Rivals or not, that was well done,” I said.
“I know, right? I am glad Mitch didn’t have to go,” she said. “I know it can be dangerous, but I worry about him sometimes.” I could imagine her lying on the couch with her feet up, twirling her hair as we talked.
“Well, you’re his little sister. It is your job to worry. But he sounds tough enough to take c
are of himself, so I wouldn’t worry too much.”
“I know and I do try. Anyway, Mitch went back to the club. He had some stuff to take care of tonight and tomorrow so I am here all alone,” she said. There was a lilt to her voice. Was that an invitation, I wondered and grinned, knowing the answer.
“Hmm, might you need a big strong man to look over you?”
She giggled. “Naw, I can protect myself. I might need help going to sleep, though. I have a lot of energy that might keep me up unless I find something to do. Whatever could I do?”
I laughed. “I might have a few ideas. We would have to work out the positions, though,” I said in a lowered voice. She giggled again.
“I’ll work anything out with you, Jake,” she said and her voice was like the purr of a cat and it made me shiver in anticipation.
“I can be there in half an hour, Dana. You can start counting the minutes,” I said.
“Give me an extra fifteen on that and I will be here with bells on.”
After we hung up, I cleaned up and changed my clothes. I was at her doorstep in no time. A note on her door said come on in and so I did. I walked into the living room and froze. She was wearing a red silk teddy and stockings, and all her incredible curves were in all the right places. My heart almost stopped in amazement and from the sudden surge of lust.
“Damn, you could have warned me,” I muttered. She got up from and coquettishly walked towards me. I picked her up and kissed her urgently. Her legs wrapped around my waist and the fun began, her wild moans filling the rest of the night.
Chapter Five
Dana
I looked myself over before going to my job interview. Black slacks and a black blouse buttoned up “decently” so as not to offend any office worker. I had my hair in a bun, and just for extra help, I had my glasses on. I rarely wore them but they would make me look more office worker type. I turned to the side to check my profile and there wasn’t anything I could do about the breast size. I liked the way it held the silk up and around their plumpness. I knew Jake like them. Jake seemed to like everything about me.
“What a wild fricking weekend, girl. And it is only the beginning,” I said out loud to my empty room. I had never had a day like Saturday. He had set up the little “lust nest,” as I thought of it, and it had been perfect. Eating, drinking and enjoying each other’s bodies had been an amazing experience. We were going to try and meet this week sometime and I had high hopes for more fun and getting to know him better. He seemed like such a nice guy, especially for a biker. I loved my brother and the Wild Wolves for taking him in and giving him a purpose, but I have no illusions that most bikers are “nice guys.” A lot of them were toughies and assholes who would never think to set up such a romantic hideaway in the park. Even if Jake had only been looking to get laid, it was a good effort and I applaud men who put some work into their conquests. It was why I had put some effort into dressing for him when he came over. Tit for tat, I thought.
“Conquest for conquest,” I said aloud to myself. I grabbed my suit jacket and headed towards the door, picking up my purse on the way. I wasn’t usually a purse kind of girl, but some situations called for it to look more respectable and I really needed this job. My savings wouldn’t last forever.

I was smiling all the way to Rocky’s Pub and Grill for lunch. Tom Morlan, the owner of the tax and accounting office told me I had what he was looking for in a new hire. He had to make calls on my references, but that was just a formality. I would be going back by the end of the week to do the paperwork and start on my new job!
It was huge for me. The house’s mortgage was a fixed low rate so that wasn’t a problem. I had saved up a lot from my jobs in college so I had money to keep me going until the work checks started coming in. Being self-sufficient had been my big worry coming back to Lowtown. Now that I had a job I felt like I could stay for real and it was what I most desired. Even more now that I was thinking of a handsome Flaming Dragon all the time. I got out of my little Geo and left the windows open. The dog days of summer were hot this year, I thought, throwing my jacket in the back seat and undoing my blouse a few buttons. I had on a sports bra underneath so I wouldn’t be flashing anyone. It was a little early for that. Not to mention the guy I wanted to flash wasn’t around right then.
“Hey, Tina, how are things?” I asked the barmaid as I entered.
“Double-shift day, but I’m not complaining,” she answered and I looked around and chuckled. There was no one else there.
“Not too busy. Cool, I can have you to myself. I am hungry after my morning.” I sat at the bar. She poured a beer for me while I looked over the menu.
“Busy morning?” She leaned on the bar. Her red tank top with the pub’s mascot, a comic squirrel (from the Rocky and Bullwinkle), showed off her cleavage just enough to entice tips from her patrons.
“Kind of. I went for a job interview, hence the outfit,” I said, gesturing to my black blouse and slacks. She smiled.
“You look fantastic, and I am a woman who knows these things. How did it go?”
“It was great,” I said. “It looks like I got it. I guess not a lot of Lowtown residents are into math and accounting so I didn’t have much competition.” We both laughed. Most people from Lowtown who dropped out of school never came back.
My phone jingled and I pulled it out of my purse. Surprise, surprise.
“Hey Jake, how they hangin?” I asked in greeting. I heard his lovely voice chuckle.
“After last night kinda low, but picking up steam again. How about you?” He asked as I squirmed slightly in my seat.
“Great! Last night was fantastic and it lead to a great interview this morning. I think I got the job. Gainfully employed for the first time since my high school jobs,” I told him proudly.
“Nice baby. I knew you would get it. You’re like me, you get what you go after. It is a good trait,” he said in compliment.
“Thanks, I do what I can. How’s work going?” I asked.
“Slow. There isn’t much to do this second. We have an order coming in soon, and then I will be busy. I thought now was a good time to call. I hope I ain’t interrupting,” he said and I smiled. Still considerate, even after the weekend. Most guys level off their manners after sex. Jake was still chugging along.
“Not a bit, dude. I’m here at Rocky’s.”
“Do you know what your schedule will be this week?” He asked. I heard voices in the background where he was at.
“I probably will be filling out the paperwork by the end of the week and starting next week. Nights and most days are free this week,” I told him.
“Nice. Maybe we can get together sometime. I have been thinking of you all morning,” he admitted and it made me blush.
“Me too,” I began softly, “pick a night, I have nothing on tap, I would like to have you on tap though,” I said without thinking. He busted up laughing as I blushed but smiled. It was the truth.
“Me too. How about tomorrow night. Later in the week I have some afternoons off, but I don’t wanna wait that long,” Jake said and I agreed.
“Sounds good. We can meet at Rocky’s?” I suggested.
“Great, it sounds good. I could use one of their burgers and spicy fries. Look, I am getting a call from the manager up front. I gotta go gorgeous, talk to you later?”
“I will be here with bells on!” I told him and we said goodbye. I sighed and drank the rest of my beer. I couldn’t believe that things were going so well. I didn’t think what my brother would say if Jake and I dated for long and he found out. I once again pushed that to the back of my priorities in my mind. With Jake I just wanted to have fun. I paid up with Tina and made sure to tip her and the cook before leaving. I was sure Rocky’s had just become my new watering hole and hangout.
I went by Lowtown Groceries to stock up. I didn’t want to have to go anywhere later. It was going to be a relaxing day. When I pulled up in front of my house I parked behind a motor cycle.
It was a nice Harley, but not Mitch’s. I saw a guy on the porch and he started down when I pulled up.
“Hi,” the man said as I opened the trunk. “Would you know where I can find Mitch Kilgore?” He was a tall man, maybe six feet. Strong looking with black hair past his shoulders. He wore riding leathers and had Wild Wolves patches on his jacket.
“He isn’t here. He has a place over on the west side of Rapid City. That or the club house,” I told him and move the bags around to get the right fit of the plastic loops for my fingers.
“My name’s Tom McCreety. I ride with him in the Wild Wolves. I tried his pad in Rapid City and no go. I figured since his little sister was in town again he might be here,” he said. “Let me give you a hand with that.” He grabbed some of the bags of groceries to help me. He noticed those right after checking out my breasts and ass. I usually didn’t mind being checked out like that, but something in this guy’s dark eyes that I didn’t like.
“Thanks, Tom. We barbecued yesterday, but I wasn’t planning on seeing him today. He said he had some stuff to take care of. I can let him know you were by,” I told him as we walked up the steps with my groceries.
“That’d be cool. I just have some stuff to go over with him. No big deal, are you settling in,” he asked when we reached the porch and I set my three bags down on the chair next to the door. I got my keys out.
