Prologue
“Fuck me, when did this get so fuckingsmall?” George said ashe made his way up into the tree house. There was a time he used toplay in this stupid fucking thing, but not in a very, very longtime. He had a lot more fun and enjoyable toys to play with. Hedidn’t believe any of his brothers played in the tree houseanymore. They were alltoo oldto enjoy it, but he knew this was exactly where he wasgoing to find his baby sister.
Harlow was a unique person, had alwaysbeen ever since she was born.He also knew that their mother lied when she claimed tohave forgotten to mail out the birthday party invitations. Theirmother never forgot something as important as a party, even if itwas for Harlow.
It had been a long time since he had beenhome. Infact, he’d notstepped foot through his parents’ house since he left at eighteenyears old to join the Hell’s Bastards MC—one of the best decisions he’d ever made, but one hisparents despised him for. They didn’t want their son running withsuch a horrible gang. George couldn’t help but smile thinking aboutthe insults they had thrown his way. His name wasn’t even Georgeanymore, nope, he went by Big Dick.
“Get out, and you shouldn’t cuss around me. Mom says it will makeme less of a lady.”
Big Dick smiled as he heard his babysister’s voice, and thenthat smile was gone as he heard the sniffle that told him she’dbeen crying.
He didn’t like that.
Fuck, no. Not his baby sister.
Climbing up to the entranceof the tree house, he lookedinside to find Harlow sitting in the corner, legs pulled up,wearing a pair of jeans, an old t-shirt, her brown hair in twopigtails, which he knew she hated, but their mother insisted on.She looked so adorable.
“Hey, Squirt.” He pulled himself into thetree house, aware of the creaking as he stayed rightwhere he was. Hisparents would be pissed if he hurt Harlow and broke the tree house.He was shocked it was still standing.
“Don’t call me that.”
“Why not? You love it.”
“Erick said you’re calling me a shit.”
Big Dick smiled. “He said that, huh?”
She nodded.
“Let me guess, Mom didn’t tell him to shuthis dirty mouth?” He looked at his sister to see her shrug.
“You know Erick, healways says stuff when she’s notnear.”
Or she didn’t want to tell off herprecious son. Big Dick didn’t give a fuck. Out ofall his brothers, hehated Erick the most. He was a sniveling, conniving, manipulatinglittle shit that pissed him off. He didn’t have any time for him,nor did he care to.
“What are you doing up here all alone?” heasked.
“No one came to my party.”
“Mom forgot to invite them, Squirt.”
“No, she didn’t. They just didn’t want tocome because they don’t like me.”She looked down at her knees. “No one likesme.”
“I like you.”
“You’re my big brother, you’resupposed to likeme.”
He rolled his eyes. “Actually,it’s a big brother’sprerogative to not like his baby sister. It’s the law. Trust me.”He winked at her.
Harlow smiled, but it didn’t quite reach hereyes.
“What’s the matter?” he asked.
She shrugged. “I don’t know.”
“Yeah, you do.”
Harlow pursed her lips and then looked overto him. “How do you make friends?”
