just not thought about leaving the coffee shop. Wasting three weeks hadn’t been his idea of fun.
    “All the boys are tense waiting for you to come through. I suggest you pull your finger out and start wooing this girl.” Charley stood, heading toward the door. At the last minute he stopped and turned around. “Be careful with this girl. I’ve heard she’s a sweetheart.”
    “How am I supposed to do that when you want me to fuck her for information?” Jesse asked, following close behind.
    “Don’t make any fucking promises you can’t keep? Only promise and give her what you’re prepared for.”
    Charley walked out. Kicking the door closed, Jesse stubbed his cigarette out before heading out. He’d hired one of his boys to follow her over the last few weeks. He checked the time. She’d be shopping at the supermarket right now. It was time to step up his wooing and get this shit over with. Grabbing his jacket from the back of the door, he hated the fact he couldn’t wear his leathers. Since he’d taken the job of dealing with Piper Rix, he’d put all of his leather cuts into his safe. Anything relating him to the Demons he’d gotten rid of. What he hated most was not being able to ride his bike. He’d spent years working on his pride and joy, replacing the engine then getting the paint work done. Before joining the Demons he’d qualified as a mechanic. He loved working with machines but he loved working for Charley more.
    Firing up the engine in his truck, he pulled out of the lot, heading toward the supermarket out of town. He spotted Piper’s car instantly. It was a shit make and model and something women would drive. He learned she only drove it on very rare occasions and her father preferred her to be escorted by one of the club. Her father was very protective of her. Parking beside her, he headed into the supermarket. Jesse, with basket in hand, started to put groceries inside. He couldn’t freak her out by just showing up looking like a stalker.
    He kept an eye on the people around him. Jesse spotted her around the meat counter looking at a large piece of beef.
    “Do you think that will serve thirty?” Piper asked. “I’ve got a Sunday lunch and the whole family is going to be there.”
    “I’d recommend a second, miss.”
    “Okay, I’ll take the two.” She was looking down at her list, nibbling her lip as she crossed off another item.
    The guy tried to talk to her some more. Jesse stayed back to see what she’d do. Piper smiled at him, wished him a good day then walked away. She had no idea how beautiful she was.
    Following behind her, he saw the aisle she went down. Going around, he walked toward her from the opposite direction.
    She was bent down looking at some chocolate.
    When she stood, he bumped into her, reaching out to stop her from falling. He wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her in close.
    “I’m so sorry,” he said, staring down into her eyes.
    “Jesse, coffee shop guy.” She chuckled. Caressing her waist, Jesse really didn’t want to let her go. “Are you following me around?” Piper took a step back giving him no choice other than to release her.
    “No.” Lifting up his basket of goods to show her, he returned the smile. “I’m out shopping. Being a single guy I’ve got no choice but to keep myself supplied. You?”
    “Shopping for the family.”
    “Pretty big family.” He eyed the steaks, knowing how many she cooked for.
    “Yeah, all my dad’s boys are going to be there. They love their steak and potatoes. What about you? Would you like an invite or something?”
    Staring into her eyes, Jesse knew that’s what she was waiting for. She truly believed he was after a shot in the Hell’s Charter. “Nah, I’d rather spend time with you than getting to know your family.” He meant the words he spoke.
    “Really?” she asked. Piper looked into his basket and frowned. “What are you making?”
    He checked out what he’d put inside his basket, a bag
