Reid was the type of guy who was just easy to be around, quick with a joke and patient to a fault. Jesse had never been nervous to be around Reid. Not even his first week as the new guy on the team years ago.

There was a first time for everything.

His anxiety heightened as his boss headed his direction.

“They all seem to be taking the changes okay,” Reid mentioned casually as he walked in the door of the semi, brushing Jesse’s shoulder as he passed by. “Well, except for Taylor. He’s young and thinks he’s a hot rod. I’m impressed with Nick, though. He’ll work out well.”

Her team had gelled around her, but it was easy to see that Mike and the new guy, Nick, were her go-to men. Most of the guys didn’t seem to give it a second thought that she was a woman, or mind following her lead. Except for Taylor. Reid was right. The slider was open, leaning on the door frame, Jesse held a bottle of water to his lips, watching that mechanic in particular. The guy was digging his own grave.

There wasn’t any reason for him to tattle to Emery about the nasty eye-rolls and the whatever the fuck you say sneers Taylor flashed her when her back was turned. She knew. It bothered the hell out of him, though, and although it would totally be stepping on her toes for Jesse to say something to the prick, that didn’t stop him from accidentally kicking the doorframe with his riding boot, making a loud enough noise that Taylor looked up. Making eye contact with the guy was enough to let him know he was being watched.

Turning back to Reid, he nodded. “Yeah, I heard them all telling Nick the story about Anthony. It’s funny, he’s almost scared to say too much now to us as riders.” He flashed a shit-eating grin at his boss then turned back, his focus on Emery.

“She looks better this morning. Not as pale, huh?” Reid said.

Jesse hesitated to answer that. He wanted to be optimistic, but she was so tired. “Yeah.”

“You really like her don’t you, Jess?”

Shit.

Heat rushed through him. He’d been dreading this conversation, and Jesse knew his boss well enough to know Reid wasn’t making small talk. He was gearing up for the talk. Turning, he took a fortifying breath and feigned calm until he saw the smug expression on Reid’s face. The raised eyebrow was a nice touch.

Fuck. Oh, yeah. He knows.

“You really think I’m an idiot, son? I know exactly where she was last night, and I know exactly how long she was there.”

“Um…ah.” He was at a loss for words and only a nervous chuckle came out making him appear not only guilty, but stupid as well.

“Did she tell you she’s been sick?”

Jesse blinked a couple of times at the switch up in conversation. “Yeah.” He ran his hand through his hair. “She told me everything.”

“Including what that asshole did to her?”

“Yeah.” Jesse’s eyes shut for a moment and he shook his head.
