LORE

“That car has been following us since we left the restaurant,” Angel says under his breath, glancing up in the rearview mirror.

The kids are both fast asleep in the back seat after a big day, and the car is filled with all the new clothes and toys they picked out. I knew taking them out today was a risk, but with Atiana safe at home, I knew we could all focus on keeping them out of Trent’s hands.

“Lose them,” I reply. They know they can’t get us when we’re in the clubhouse. With the gates, security, weapons, and manpower we have, they would have to be stupid. Not to mention the backup we could call in from other chapters. We have numbers, and we have skilled, well-trained men.

Angel makes a sharp right, and I glance back at the kids, my heart hammering in my chest. I send Patch a text and tell him to be ready to open the gates for us.

We make it back safely, thank fuck.

The kids wake up when I get them out of their car seats and inside the clubhouse. I don’t think Trent would do anything to hurt Dove, but you never know.

A desperate man is a dangerous one.

Atiana is playing pool with the twins, her cheeks flushed from the sun. Bone has no shirt on, just his cut, and Skull is staring down at her tattoo designs.

They were meant to make sure she was safe, not spend the whole fucking day with her.

It hits me then that I’ve never actually outright asked her if she has any kinks or unfulfilled fantasies.

I mean, I read her body, sounds, and expressions pretty well, but what if she’s always wanted to fuck twins or something?

Not going to fucking happen.

If she wants something like that, it will be with my cock and a vibrator.

“Why are you scowling?” she asks me, peppering kisses all over my face, just as the kids run in.

“Mama! Look what Dad bought me,” Rider calls out, showing off the new dragon toy he wanted. “And we went and saw sharks! And fish! And then we ate these really big burgers.”

She smiles down at him and kisses his cheek before lifting Dove in her arms. “So you both had a good day today, then?”

Dove grins and nods. “I saw a stingray!”

“That sounds amazing,” she tells her, glancing over at me with a soft look. “Thank you for taking her.”

“What did I say? You never have to say thank you for anything,” I reply with a wink.

They are my kids .

It’s as simple as that.

She puts Dove down, and she runs over to the twins.

“Fuck, I love you,” she says, gripping my cut to pull me closer. “You know that?”

“I hoped you would,” I admit, cupping her face with my hands and sucking on her lower lip. Lowering my voice, I roughly say, “I missed you today. Tonight I want you to sit on my face and ride me.”

She goes up on her tiptoes and brings her lips to my ear. “Tonight I want to choke on your big cock.”

“Fuck,” I grit out, gripping the globes of her ass.

“There are kids present,” Bones calls out, and we both turn to face him. Skull is covering Dove’s eyes with his hand, and she’s laughing.

Rider is frowning as he looks at us both. “Why are you touching her booty? That’s weird.”

Skull makes a choking sound, and Bones grins. “Well, you see?—”

“ Bones ,” Atiana snaps, but he just grins. She turns back to me and shakes her head in amusement. “Do you have the bakery security feed set up on your phone? Can I get it on mine?”

My eyes widen as I look back at the twins. “What the hell happened while I’ve been gone?”

“Well, Atiana wore a little white bikini and made up icy cold girly drinks,” Bones starts, handing Rider the pool cue and showing him how to hold it.

My gaze turns to my woman, who just shrugs. “My free time, I get to do what I want with it.”

“I was hoping you’d be wearing clothes while doing whatever you wanted,” I mutter, imagining those pervy bastards checking out my woman.

And I can’t even blame them.

They have eyes, and she’s a ten.

Pulling her to the side, I say, “There was a car following us on the way back here. Trent is getting desperate. We will likely go into lockdown while we handle this, so that means everyone associated with the MC will come here, mostly any women and children, and we will stay here until the threat is gone.”

Her eyes widen, and she nods. “Okay, I’ll do whatever I can to help. I feel so bad that this is all because of me and my bad decisions. I tried to go for a nerd. I thought that would be safe.”

My lips twitch. “Don’t ever feel bad. You’re safe, the kids are safe, and that’s all that matters to me. And you can’t trust all nerds. Look at Blade.”

She laughs, which is what I wanted.

And while I’m not looking forward to all the women being in here with her, including the club girls and strippers, I don’t have much of a choice.

If any of them say anything to upset her…

My phone vibrates, and I know it’s Prez calling church. Not caring about the audience, I kiss Atiana, pulling her against me so tightly, pouring everything into it. My tongue sweeps against hers, and she moans.

Bones clears his throat.

Rider says, “Eww.”

But I don’t give a fuck, this is just a taste of what she’s going to get the second we’re alone.

Plus, the twins need a reminder of just who she belongs to.

When I pull away, she’s breathless—just how she makes me feel every time I look at her.
