light to turn
green, and then went through. Shit. I need to get my hands on one of those. She tried Tamian one more time, to no avail.
    Retracing
her steps, she quietly walked past Belle’s door toward the exit. Voices coming
from Gregor’s office piqued her curiosity, so she paused and listened in on the
conversation. “Why not? Let me run home and shower and I’ll meet you there.”
    Oh
crap. She had to get out of there. Now. She took a chance and rushed past the
open doorway, not stopping until she got outside. There were only a couple of vehicles
in the parking lot. One of those surely belonged to Gregor. If she cranked her
bike now, he would hear it and know she was just leaving. She toed the gear
shift up into neutral and pushed her bike as fast as she could, which was
pretty fast considering her shifter strength and speed. When she was out of
sight from the back of the building, she hopped on, cranked the engine, and
threw her helmet on. She eased on the throttle, making as little noise as
possible on the tricked out bike.
    She
didn’t breathe until she got past the guard shack. The sentry lifted the
security barrier before she got there, so she just rolled on through. She gave
him a two finger salute and grinned. Tessa wanted to forget about wardens,
clones, and her brother being locked up, and she knew just the place. Even
though she was going to a biker bar, she decided to go home and clean up a
little first. Maybe add a little silver to her mostly black attire. It was
still early, and anyone she knew would get there later as well.
    Tessa
didn’t normally fuss too much with her looks. Her long, red hair was naturally
wavy. Her shifter skin required no makeup. Not wanting to look too plain, she
did swipe on a little mascara and some lip gloss. She swapped her plain black
belt for one with a blingy Harley buckle and added silver hoops to her ears. The
woman in the mirror was as close to dolled up as Tessa ever got. If she
couldn’t go somewhere dressed in jeans, she would rather not go. Tessa once
again straddled her bike. She hit the back roads and headed in the direction of
her favorite hangout in New Atlanta. It was a local biker joint where she could
toss back a few beers and shoot some pool. It was just the place to forget her
worries for a few hours.

    Gregor
was sitting at a high top close to the pool tables when Dante walked into The
Tavern. New Atlanta’s bar scene was as lucrative as ever. People came from out
of town just for the thrilling nightlife. There were bars and clubs for every
walk of life, but Gregor and Dante weren’t into the busy dance scene. The
Tavern was a hole-in-the-wall biker bar complete with a couple of shitty pool
tables, a dart board that had seen better days, and cheap beer. The women who
came there were after one thing: a one-night stand with a roughneck. Neither he
nor Dante were in search of a hook-up, but that didn’t mean they didn’t enjoy
looking. A hot woman was a hot woman.
    Dante
sat down, and a cute little blonde waitress bounced over to their table. “Hello,
fellas. What can I get you?” 
    Gregor
glanced at her nametag. “Hello, Candy. I’ll have a Budweiser.”
     Dante
added his order, “A double-shot of Jack, neat.”  Candy told them she’d be right
back and flitted off.
    Dante
was quiet, staring off into space. Normally he was a chatterbox, full of
useless knowledge about bodies and autopsies and strange things he saw in the
morgue. “Hey, what’s up?” Gregor was worried about his brother.
    Dante
took a minute before answering. “I’m not sure how I feel about this human
bonding, to be honest. I know Rafael is all for it, but what if it doesn’t work
out? What if we meet our mate, and they are nothing more than human? We have
watched Sin go through the heartache of experiencing his wife die. Twice. Is it
really worth it? What if they do get pregnant but can’t handle a shifter fetus?”
    Their
conversation was interrupted by Candy
