“God, it smells good.” Rounding the corner, my steps faltered when I saw the massive line out the door. “Oh no.”
My taste buds’ hopes were raised and now they’re dashed.
When we’d pulled into the side lot, Judge and the guys had parked at the service entrance bay doors. As soon as the weirdly appealing smell of bike fumes dissipated, the overwhelming scent of cake had hit me, making my stomach growl and my mouth water. I’d practically pulled Judge around to the front and had been surprised to see the large building only housed two businesses—not the strip mall I’d expected.
The angular sign over one entrance said Hyde Garage.
The swirly, loopy sign—complete with a cupcake—over the other said Sweets Your Rock Bakery.
A garage and a bakery.
What a bizarrely opposite combo.
Taking my hand, Judge walked into the garage entrance.
Homana haawaaa…
It’s ridiculously good-looking guy heaven in here.
Behind the counter, a muscular man ruffled through papers, his blond hair pulled back in a knot. The guy next to him looked like the boy next door, but with almost as many tattoos as Glitch. And glaring at the computer with intense, dark eyes was another hottie.
The blond looked up as we approached. “Hawkins,” he greeted before going through a swinging door behind him.
Judge was still the sexiest man I’d ever seen, but I had two working eyes.
“Don’t make me drag your ass back to the bike and remind you who you belong to,” Judge whispered teasingly… or maybe not.
A tremble ran through me, going straight to my clit even as I whispered back, “I don’t belong to anyone.”
He used his hold on my hand to pull me so my back was at his side before wrapping an arm around my chest. “Look forward to proving you wrong later, princess.”
The man came into the waiting room through another door, and Judge released me just long enough to shake the man’s hand, doing the dude-hug thing. When he was done, he put his arm back around my chest. “Ophelia, this is Jake Hyde.” He jerked his head toward the counter. “That’s Eli, and the one about to throw the computer across the room is Xavier.”
“It’s pissing me off,” Xavier said, stabbing at the keyboard as he typed.
Glitch looked horrified and personally insulted. “Easy, Jeeeeeesus.” He hopped the counter and shoved Xavier out of the way before gently tapping the keys.
“Nice to meet you,” Jake said, the other two offering waves I returned.
“You, too.”
“Hasn’t even been a month since you were in,” he pointed out to Judge. “Happens fast, yeah?”
I thought they were talking about wear and tear on the motorcycles until Judge said, “Only if you’re lucky.”
I guess if you’re able to ride enough to need work done so soon, that’s lucky even if it’s probably expensive.
“Your bikes at the bay?” Eli asked.
Glitch barely looked up as he slid his keys along the counter. Jury grabbed Judge’s from him and brought them over.
“She’s going with, yeah?” Jake asked Judge, but he didn’t give him time to answer. “Stupid question. I’ll make sure it’s set.” He started for the door he’d come through, saying, “Go through the back way, I left my door propped. She’s got tons of shit set aside, but I can’t guarantee how long it’ll last with these vultures around.”
“Don’t gotta tell me twice,” Judge told his retreating back.
Glitch didn’t look up from the computer. “Your greedy ass better bring me something.”
