Taste of Wolves

Chapter 10

Gemma wasn't entirely sure how to take this young woman. She seemed rather young, especially for Quinn, but it was obviously the biker had a keen interest in the unique young lady. She wasn't sure what was going on between Chibs and the girl's aunt. The pair seemed to be getting close although she wasn't sure in what context. Was it a romantic interest or just as friends? Gemma finally went back into her office to get back to work leaving the two women alone once more. She kept an ear out to see if she could hear anything important but the pair seemed to have slipped into silene or were talking very quietly to one another.

A while later, Quinn walked up with Chibs and said he was about done. He explained it was the fuel pump that was going out and he had to order the right part for her car and he'd get that done as soon as he entered the office. Chibs asked how the two ladies were doing making both tell him they were fine. He could see Linda was very tired and probably needed to get home quickly. She'd explained to him how she felt after having one of her cancer treatments so he knew she was in pain and very tired. Quinn told Gemma exactly what part was needed for Linda's car so she wrote the information down to order it when she ordered the other parts. He thanked her before leaving the office.

"Ready to go home?" Quinn asked making Aria smile widely at him.

"I'm ready." She replied as Chibs helped her aunt up off the seat.

The two women followed the men to their bikes. Each climbed on then explained again what to do to climb on behind them. Both women had to lean against the men as leverage to climb on bringing a smile to the face of both men. Linda gingerly wrapped her arms around Chibs' waist feeling slightly uncomfortable in doing so. Aria, on the other hand, wrapped her arms tightly around Quinn's waist and leaned against his back waiting for him to take off. Feeling them moving forward made her gasp slightly which made Quinn laugh. Chibs eased his bike forward trying to not scare the woman on his bike. Happy was curious as to what was going on with his brothers as he watched the foursome leaving the lot.

The ride was too short for Aria but it was more than enough for Linda. Although Chibs had been gentle in his take-offs and stops and hadn't gone very fast, she was still nervous about being on his bike. Quinn and Aria had arrived first since he had gone the speed limit and Chibs hadn't. He waited for her to open up the house and stood at the door with her. She looked up at him and thanked him for the ride and how much fun she had had on the short ride.

"Perhaps I can take you out for a longer ride in the near future." He told her making a wide smile spread across her face.

"Really?" She inquired making him laugh softly.

"Yes, really. I love being on the road. It would be my pleasure to give you a ride." He exclaimed not realizing the double-meaning of his statement.

"I would really love it. Just give me a call sometime to set it up. I'll cut a stream short if I have to." Aria told him.

"I don't want to interrupt your way of making money. We can find time between your streams and you helping your aunt I'm sure." He stated as the sound of another bike was heard coming up the street.

"Guess that's Chibs and Aunt Linda." She chuckled, "Thank you so much for looking at her car for us. It's greatly appreciated."

"It's no problem, really. Anytime you ladies have car troubles or need work, come to us. We'll treat ya fairly." He replied as Chibs parked the bike and reminded Linda of how to get off.

Aria watched as the Scotsman helped her aunt to the door.

"Well. That was an experience!" Linda chuckled, "I need to go lay down now, though. Thanks for the ride home, Chibs. It's very appreciated. And thank you, Quinn, for looking at my car."

"It's no problem." Quinn replied.

"Get some rest, love." Chibs stated before Linda disappeared in the house.

"Thanks for bringing her home, Chibs. I'm sure she was terrified the whole way." Aria laughed.

"It was no problem, Wolfie. I'll see ya later." Chibs exclaimed before walking back to his bike.

"I guess I should get back to the garage too. Work day isn't done yet." Quinn stated.

"Be safe on the way back." Aria said.

He just smiled before cupping her cheek and running his thumb over it. He debated on kissing her but thought better of it with neighbors watching. She watched as he turned and headed back to his bike. With a sigh, she walked into the house and shut the door. She found her aunt in the living room in her chair and asked if she needed anything. "A glass of water, please, sweetie." Linda replied. After Aria brought her the glass of water, she headed downstairs to start her afternoon stream. Quinn parked his bike and headed straight back to work. Although he was physically there at the shop, his mind was on him on his bike with Aria behind him, thighs pressed against his, pressing herself against his back, arms wrapped tightly around his waist. It made his heart race feeling her that close to him. It was a feeling he wanted again.

"Good afternoon my lovelies! Welcome to Wolfie's Den! Sorry I'm a little late today. We had some car trouble we had to get fixed before coming home. How has everyone's day been so far? Mine's been pretty good other than the aforementioned car trouble. I think today we'll do some FFXI missions and quests and get a little further along in the stories. How does that sound? Oh, before I forget, I'd like to welcome all the new followers and subscribers to the channel! I hope you enjoy my content and streams." Aria stated as she got her stream up and going for the afternoon.

She got the game going, logged in, and picked the character she'd be playing with that day since she had three of them to choose from. People began to filter into the channel and she greeted everyone she saw when she saw them. She received some donations straight out of the gate and quickly gave a shout out and thanks to those who donated. She read the text on her screen for those who might not be able to read it and explained what she had to do for the mission or quest she was working on. Quinn and the bike ride he'd promised her were at the back of her mind as she focused on her game and streaming.

Stitch-the-Gamer: afternoon, Wolfie! What job would you recommend for someone starting out in XI?

Cerina: good afternoon, Wolfie! I was starting to think something else had happened to you and you weren't going to be streaming this afternoon! Hope the car trouble isn't too serious. That stuff can get expensive, lol!

Amarelle_Khai: hello Wolfie! I just discovered your stream. I play mostly the Final Fantasy games. My two favorites are XI and XIV. My main is Red Mage in both. What's your favorite class in both?

<Aerik_Kha just donated $250> flashed across her screen.

Aerik_Kha: good afternoon Wolfie. It's been a while since I've been here. How've you been? What happened to your face?

"Good afternoon Stitch, Cerina, Amarelle, and Aerik! Stitch, they all have advantages and disadvantages. One of my favorite jobs is Red Mage because it's quite versatile. Cerina, it seems it's the fuel pump is going out. The shop is ordering the part for it so I'm not sure how long my aunt's car will be in the shop. Welcome to the stream Amarelle. I hope you enjoy my content! My favorite class would have to be Red Mage for both as well. I was expecting to be more like it was in XI when it came out in XIV but I like the way it's designed in both. Aerik, I was in an accident a few days ago. I'm healing up pretty well and these are the worst injuries I sustained. And thanks for the donation!" Aria replied to everyone that she had seen.
