“Speak of the devil, and he shall appear,” Evie giggles.

“I said you were an overgrown nosey ass child,” Alessa answers.

“That hurts me deeply.” He sticks his hand out for me to shake. When I slide mine into his, he kisses the back of it with a grin. “Nice to officially meet you.”

“Get your nasty lips off my woman, Gage!” Sean yells, making everyone laugh.

Gage’s grin widens. “What is a girl as pretty as you doing with a group of guys like that?”

“Some could say the same about you,” Bridget says sweetly.

“And that smartass mouth is why you got stuck with the psychos,” Gage replies.

“Oh, but I like them like that.” She fans her face. “Do you know what they do for me?”

Gage wrinkles his nose. “You’re disgusting and should be ashamed of yourself.” He spins on his heel and marches off, making us laugh.

After he’s out of earshot, we launch back into the conversation about my guys, and I’m glad to have someone to talk about it with. They immediately make me feel comfortable and wanted. Something that I don’t usually feel around a bunch of beautiful women.

I’m glad that I came. I feel like I have some great friends to make in Abbs Valley.

Istand back and watch the girls with Chelsea, feeling a sense of calmness wash over me. I knew she would get along with Les, Bridget, and Evie, but I saw how nervous she was. Then that fucking kiss with Nolan turned everything on its ass. She finally got to meet Gray, and the look on her face when she saw the similarities was funny. Gray and I both, unfortunately, look like Charlie.

Gray nods for me to follow him around the side of the house. We pull up chairs to look out over the ocean. He hands me a beer.

“Thanks, man.” I twist the cap and take a long pull, settling back in my chair.

“She’s got the girls’ vote.”

I chuckle. “That actually means a lot.”

“Are you good with the way things are headed?” He glances at me. “I mean, with the rest of the guys?”

“I wasn’t,” I admit. “I didn’t want Sean or Kai anywhere near her when I found out. Now, though, I know this is where we all belong.”

“How are things with Nolan?” I talked to Gray right after things escalated with Nolan because I knew if anyone would know what I was going through, it would be him.

“Damn good. I feel peace for the first time in fucking years.”

“Any news on Charlie?”

I shake my head. “No, but Nolan’s on it. I think he’s going to talk to Holden and Hart to see if they’ll look at it too. More heads and all that. We also have another problem.”

“What’s that?”

“Chels has a piece of shit fucking ex, and some shit just came up. This motherfucker needs to burn for what he’s done, but we can’t find him either.”

“What’s his name?”

“Brady Stinson.”

Gray raises a brow. “As in Judge Stinson in Grover?”

“The same damn one. It’s his son.” I rake my hand through my hair. “I think he’s working with Charlie.”
