A round wooden sign with “Gatsby Books” carved in bright red letters hangs over the brick building that houses the bookstore and a new coffee shop.
After parking in front of the businesses, I hop off and run my hand down the back of my neck. It’s not too late to turn around and run flashes through my mind, but I shake off the warning and stroll over to the heavy glass door. I step into the bookstore and realize it’s much bigger on the inside than it appears. There are floor-to-ceiling bookshelves lining the first floor and a loft that overlooks everything. Glancing down the first aisle, I see Hacker sitting at a round table staring intently at the clerk behind the front counter.
I’m about to walk over and give him shit about it when the front door opens behind me. I turn to see who’s walking in and almost fall to my goddamn knees. Fucking crap on a cracker. She’s spectacular. My eyes devour the curvy blonde as she walks straight to the front counter and begins talking animatedly to the clerk. She’s tall and rounded in all the right places. The tight leggings hugging her perfect ass do little to conceal all her luscious curves, and my cock begins to harden in my dress pants. My fingers itch to wrap around her curvy hips and hold on tight while I’m fucking her into next week.
There’s no ignoring the intense hunger roaring through my soul. Everything around us disappears as I stare at my soulmate. What a fucking relief. I’m not broken. Rubbing my hand down my face, I realize I might’ve cracked under the stress of working eighteen-hour days on the new Silver Spoon Falls Library.
Hacker’s hand falls on my shoulder, and I turn to face him. “What the fuck are you doing here?” His whispered growl echoes around the rows of books.
“The same goddamn thing you’re doing,” I tell my brother and feel the big fucker stiffen next to me.
When Mrs. Jackson leans out of an aisle and shushes us, Hacker points at the door. “Follow me.”
We step out into the warm Texas evening, and my brother turns to me. “Fucking explain what you’re doing here.”
“I wanted to see what or who has you so occupied you can’t be bothered with club business.” It’s bullshit and I know it. Right now, things are running fairly smoothly, and Hacker always puts the Silver Spoon MC first. Finding my soulmate has really thrown me for a loop and I’m acting like an asshole.
“Bullshit,” he calls me out. “Why did you really come here?”
I take a deep breath and shrug. “I have no fucking idea.”
He points at the Park Avenue Bar down the road. “Let’s go get a beer and discuss our women problems.”
“What makes you think I have woman problems?” I ask him.
“If you stared at the new schoolteacher any harder, the entire bookstore would have erupted into flames.” I guess that explains it. My curvy soulmate is the new beauty I’ve been hearing about all around town.
“You mean the way you were staring at the clerk?” I remind my brother.
“Touché, my friend.” He sighs. “I guess we both drank too fucking much of the Silver Spoon Falls water.”
We end up sitting at the bar for an hour discussing our out-of-left-field women problems. Hacker promises to do a full investigation on my little love and keep an eye on her while I rearrange my schedule to allow time to woo my woman.
Chapter Two
Oakley
“Wow. That guy has the hots for you,” Scarlett whispers across the counter, and I glance over my shoulder to get a glimpse of the drop-dead gorgeous biker who’s been staring at me since I walked in the door a few moments ago. I feel my blood heat as his dark brown eyes move over my body and quickly look away before he catches me staring back.
This entire freaking town is filled with the hottest men I’ve ever seen. “He does not,” I argue with my new friend. “Not like the other guy has for you.” It’s true. The tall, handsome biker has been in here watching Scarlett every time I’ve come in to see her over the last week or so.
Scarlett is the only person I know in Silver Spoon Falls except for my Aunt Tilly. I met her on my first trip to the local bookstore, and we’ve become fast friends. When I moved here two months ago to take a position teaching ninth-grade English at Silver Spoon Falls High School, I had no idea what was in store for a quiet, shy virgin like me. Everywhere you look, there’s male hotness. It’s not fair to have all these stunning men around and I’m on a male diet.
Tired of living under my controlling parents’ thumbs, I worked my rear off and graduated from college in three years. It wasn’t easy, but I managed. The round-the-clock studying didn’t leave me any time for dating, and I’ve pretty much avoided the opposite sex like the plague my entire life. Being a shy, overweight, awkward teenager didn’t help the situation.
