work there's nothing I can do for you, but you're not going to come here and harass my people."
    Maybe I should get out there before things get out of hand, Colton was beginning to sound frustrated.
    I took a deep breath and walked to the door, I had to fortify myself before opening it.
    I opened the door to Colton, Jared and a couple of the guys, Tommy and Pete among them.
    "Hey, you the one I spoke to?"
    Okay, he did not look anything like his voice sounded, he was dressed like a refined gentleman while he spoke like a ruffian.
    What was it with the men in this town not being what they seem?
    I wasn't quite sure what I'd done to set him off so I decided to play it safe.
    "Yes sir I think I am."
    He looked me up and down with a sneer.
    "Well now, you're just a little itty-bitty thing, not much to you at all."
    Watch it old man with the short jokes.
    Instead of actually answering his obnoxious observation I just straightened my shoulders and stood a little taller.
    "Was there something I could help you with?"
    "There it is, that same snooty tone she used on the phone, that how you running your business these days Lyon?"
    Colton started to answer him but for some strange reason I felt the need to defend myself, especially since the old reprobate was smirking at me like a three year old tattletale who'd gotten me in trouble.
    Chances are I was going to be fired anyway so what the hell.
    "Fact of the matter is you were obnoxiously rude Mr. Grumpy, if you want respect you first have to give it."
    "Excuse me young lady, do you have any idea who I am?"
    "Marc..."
    Again Colton tried to intervene but I beat him to it, enough is enough.
    For the past three months or so I've been playing the coward, just because life had thrown me a curveball didn't mean I had to roll over and play dead, and I'd be damned if I was going to play the coward here like I had in Arizona.
    "Listen Dragon heart, I don't really much care who you are, from the looks of you you have money and maybe that's why you think you can get away with treating people just any old way, but your money doesn't mean squat to me, so why don't you take your money and your pompous attitude and go fu..."
    "Kat..."
    "Sloan..."
    Jared and Colton cut into my resignation speech before I could get to the good part.
    Suddenly there was a burst of raucous laughter as Mr. Grumpy bent double in laughter.
    "You've got the contract Lyon." He held his hand out to Colton as he almost choked on his laughter.
    Colton looked from him to me and back again before shaking his head and taking the hand.
    I had no idea what the hell had just happened.
    "Back to work, show's over, that means you too Sloan."
    I turned and escaped back into the office.
    I waited 'til only Jared and I were left in the hallway, and Marcus had gone off to the showroom with the guys.
    "She's not at all what she seems is she?"
    "Nope!"
    "What the fuck is going on Jared?"
    "You'll just have to wait to find out."
    Shit, she'd just landed me what could be my most lucrative deal, a contract I'd been after for a year now, a deal that will have my bikes all over the world.

    Chapter 4
    "Tell me something Jared, is she going to turn my place upside down?"
    "Nah...well not in a bad way anyhow."
    I looked at him full on with the do not fuck with me glare.
    "What am I in for?"
    "All I will say is that it's good to see some of the old Kat again, after what those fucks did to her..."
    He stopped short and cut himself off, I felt a burning in my gut as my fists curled.
    "What fucks, what're you talking about?"
    "Fuck, it's not my story to tell..."
    "Bull fucking shit, somebody hurt her?"
    Why the fuck was I so angry at the mere thought? I looked towards the door she'd just gone through, what the fuck was going on here?
    "I can't tell you man, it's up to her who she tells, just know it was a bad scene, she came out of it okay, but...fuck man it was bad."
    I somehow found myself following her into the office, nevermind that the man I've
