She flipped herself over the bars and back into the seat in a seated position. That's when | moved forward, well when my legs ---- finally worked anyway. The crew was whistling and applauding while she grinned the biggest fucking grin | had ever seen on her face behind the helmet. Everyone grew quiet when they saw me coming, and some of the men started to scatter. "Off." She climbed off the bike, removed her helmet, and placed it under her arm. She had her head down, biting into her lip no doubt. I'm sure she expected me to lash out at her, and though that had been my first inclination, | wouldn't take her joy away like that, neither would | embarrass her in front of the men. "Good job." Fuck, the smile on her face when she lifted her head rivaled the sun for brightness.

"Come with me." | turned and headed to the office, Kat behind me chattering away like a magpie. | held my shit together until we got to the office. | opened the door, and waited for her to precede me, then closing it | pushed her back against it. "You ever pull a stunt like that again, and I'll tan your little ass you hear me?" "What...I...you, but you said." "| know what | said, it was a nice stunt, but not for you." "But why? You don't say anything when the guys do it." How could | explain it to her, when | couldn't explain it to myself? All | know is that the thought of her being hurt made my blood run cold.
