about him but I can’t ride him since I have this party going on. I really do need to know what you think of him. Anyway, I have your beds made up. Maybe you ought to get upstairs before Nailz comes looking to get even with Jo."
    We laughed as we went up the stairs. Jo paused in the hallway. "I think they planned to get us inside before the party gets going."
    I grinned back, "No shit. But we can smoke this joint Elena handed me and sit on the deck outside of the bedroom."
    Jo laughed, "Well, I don't usually smoke, but tonight I'll make an exception. It isn’t every night you get one over on a man the size of Nailz!"
    We sat and listened to the sounds of the band playing in the background and smoked. It was relaxing, knowing we were safe in the Lodge. Wistfully I watched for Veiko and a few times I saw him look up at me. I didn’t wave or anything, although I wanted to.
    When we went to bed the party was still going on in full force. It would be nonstop until late Sunday afternoon.

    When I woke the next morning, I could smell coffee and Elena cooking breakfast. I stretched before going over to the closet. I was here so often I always kept extra riding clothes and boots.
    Jo was sleeping, making a pretty picture with her hair spread all around her like a red flame. She was a late sleeper. I hoped she'd get up to see me ride today. Horses scared the hell out of her. No matter how many times she promised to ride with me, she always chickened out. I didn’t understand that at all.
    Horses to me were like motorcycles to bikers. I felt free on them and loved the wind in my hair. I loved feeling a horse underneath me and riding was one of the biggest pleasures in my life. I trusted animals more than people most of the time.
    I dressed and left Jo to her sweet dreams. When I got to the kitchen Elena was sitting with Hunter, V, Nailz, and a few other bikers I didn’t know. They were busy talking so I got some coffee and made a bacon and egg sandwich.
    I slipped out onto the deck to eat, I didn’t think anyone noticed me but Veiko was right behind me.
    "Hey pretty girl, why are you up so early?" V's smile showed a dimple.
    I took a sip of coffee to wash my food down.
    "Some of us aren’t here to party. I’m riding a horse for Elena today so she can sell him Monday. One of the new stallions up at the other barn."
    V looked clueless, so I took pity on him.
     "If she sells him, she’ll make a good profit. She’s cooking for this party and I am the only one to ride him and tell her his vices."
    V looked interested and I began to tell him about my love of riding. By the time I had yacked his ear off, I think he understood more than he wanted to.
    "Is it dangerous to ride a horse you’ve never been on? Shouldn’t a man be doing this?" He questioned me.
    I frowned at him. "It makes no difference, really. It can be dangerous so I’ll try to be careful. Isn’t it dangerous when you do wheelies?"
    "Not if you know what you are doing. Can I come watch you?" he asked, smiling.
    I was flattered. "Sure! Take the wide trail back to the large barn. I’ll be there for a while before I even ride him. I better get going."
    I took my plate and mug back to the kitchen.
    "Elena, I am going to head up to the barn. Is anybody up there yet?"
    She was cooking, her answer was rushed.
    "Stablehands should be and I want Hunter to be up there with you, Kima. Spend some time with this horse before you get on him. If you have any doubts about him, don’t ride him. When you’re going to ride send somebody down for Hunter, promise?"
    I leaned over to kiss her cheek.
    "Elena, I won’t get on him if he seems off. I hate being tossed. Send Jo up when she finally wakes up. She’ll be safer with me than around Nailz."
    I knew better than to interrupt Hunter talking, so I stood at the back door waiting to catch his eye. I nodded toward the back and he rolled his eyes.
    As I was walking up the trail, I couldn’t help but laugh to
