Page 28 of Her Protective Biker
I wiped my hands on a rag and turned to face him with Hannah tucked under my arm.
“I have some news about the assault case against…” he checked a notebook he pulled from his breast pocket. “ Mateo “Jinx” Delgado and Ronan “Crash” Pike.”
Hannah tensed and I pulled her closer into my side.
“They have been released on bail pending trial. As have the guys who were charged with weapons possession at the warehouse but weren’t involved in your assault.”
“Are you fucking serious?” Hannah screeched.
The officer’s eyes went comically wide. I’d never heard her swear before, you knew it was bad when you got the Doc worked up.
“If those jerks think they can get near my dogs–”
As predicted, all five dogs were now our dogs.
“We can get a restraining order in place,” Officer Shaw said.
Hannah huffed and started wringing her fingers.
“The MC has your back, Doc, and all your critters.” Wrench said.
She flashed him a grateful smile. “I hope it’s enough.”
I turned to face her and put a hand on each shoulder. “Hey, it’s okay. Nothing will happen to Daisy or the pups. I won’t let it.”
She wrapped her arms around me and rested her cheek on my chest. Hell, the way this girl got under my skin was ridiculous.
I kissed the top of her head. “You know I love you and the dogs. Nothing will happen to any of you. I swear.”
She pulled back, and her eyes searched my face. “You’ve never said that to me before.”
“Then I’m an idiot,” I said, kissing her so she could feel all the things I didn’t know how to say.
“Uh, anyway, I just wanted you to know that. We will do our best to keep them in line,” the officer said awkwardly.
“Thank you, Officer Shaw,” Hannah said, before I captured her lips again.
She kissed me back hard, before pulling back again. “You know I love you too, right?”
“Yeah, I know.” I rested my forehead against hers. “Once Asher was old enough to fend for himself, I didn’t think I’d ever have another person in my life I was willing to die to protect. But fuck, Doc, you wandered in here with those sexy as fuck pink scrubs and that goddamned cat and knocked me on my ass.”
“In a good way right?”
“In the best possible way.”
