"You ever pull a stunt like that again I'll tan your little ass you hear me?"
"What...I...you, but you said."
"I know what I said, it was a nice stunt but not for you."
"But why, you don't say anything when the guys do it?"
How could I explain it to her when I couldn't explain it to myself, all I know is that the thought of her being hurt made my blood run cold.
"I'm really careful Colton promise you don't have to worry, and I wear all my protective gear see."
She showed me the arm and knee pads she wore over yet another ugly ass suit.
She seemed so fucking happy, unlike her usual withdrawn self, how could I take that away from her?
"Isn't there anything else you like as much, anything safer?"
I was caving but how could I put out that light in her eyes?
"No, not really."
There she goes with that soft little girl voice again.
I studied her for a moment, the kid had very little to make her happy it seemed like, it wouldn't be right to take this away from her too, but damn couldn't she find a safer hobby?
And why do you care Lyon, thought you weren't interested!
I ignored the annoying voice in my head as I looked at her.
"Okay I'll make you a deal, if you want to do these stunts you'll have to wait until I'm there to make sure you're safe, okay?"
"I don't want to take you away from stuff, I'll be careful I promise." She wouldn't look me in the eye as she blushed.
Damn this girl was some kinda shy.
"Take it or leave it katarina, either I'm there or you don't do them."
"Fine, I'll only do them when you're here."
She actually pouted, it was cute as hell.
I guess that ride was a waste of time because she was once again planted firmly in the forefront of my mind.

Chapter 6
The rest of the afternoon went by without my little daredevil pulling any more stunts, I stayed out of her way as much as possible because she was just confusing the hell out of me
I wanted to knock some of the guys' heads together for letting her do that shit but that would only raise a lot of questions and since there was no real boss, underling divide, these nosy fucks wouldn't think twice about sticking their noses in my damn business.
Don't let anyone fool you that women were the only ones who did that shit, men were some gossiping shit heads.
All I needed was for them to get wind of me sniffing around the flying nun and my life would be hell.
I still haven't cornered Jared as yet to give him a piece of my mind but I'll get to that soon enough.
At knock off time I made myself scarce, I certainly didn't need another replay of yesterday's little interlude between those two, little sister my ass.
The next couple days were uneventful thank God, I stayed away from the office as much as possible and no one was the wiser because we were knee deep in bikes.
Grimaldi, once he made up his mind was a no nonsense kind of guy, he'd already ordered ten bikes and that was just a drop in the pan so no one wondered why I was spending more time in the shop and less in the office.
As if having her plaguing my ass all the time wasn't enough, my mother was up to something and I couldn't for the life of me figure out what it could be.
Whatever, it wouldn't be the first time she was being sneaky about some shit, but usually I'd have a hint because she couldn't keep a secret to save her life, this time, nothing, but she was all sugary sweet and smiling all the damn time, that shit scares the crap out of me.
Dad's answer was that her and the hen pack must be planning somebody's life for them, that's what he thinks her and her busy body hen pack as he calls them get up to.
He better not let her hear him or it will be his ass, mom takes her book clubs/ hen pecking sessions seriously.
I caught glimpses of Sloan here and there in another one of her horrendous get ups, seriously, each one was worst than the last if that were possible.
Friday's was puke green, I kid you not, I wanted to say something but refrained, the guys for some strange reason were taking it easy on her with the jokes, usually my boys would've picked her carcass clean like a condor on carrion but, nothing, I guess because of Storm.
I made it to the weekend with my sanity in tact, not seeing her Saturday and Sunday was a pain in the ass, I missed the fuck out of our little skirmishes and that pissed me off, I'd only known her a week, why should she take up so much space in my head, other than to wonder what hair brained scheme she was getting up to that would break her fool neck.
