Harley rolled her eyes. “For the last time. There is nothing between us.”

“I said the same thing about Stone and Rock and look where we are,” Blue scoffed.

“Whatever,” Harley grumbled. “Let’s go. We’re late.”

Blue hid a smile as they made their way over to the clubhouse. She greeted a few people before she walked over to meet Doc who sat at a table. He stood as she approached.

“Hey, Blue. Good to see you,” he stated as he held out his hand.

Another test because it required her to grip it with the hand affected by her injured shoulder. Her dominant hand. Something that she hadn’t realized until she’d had to go to the bathroom the first time.

To say that there had been a lot of tears of anger and mortification was an understatement. But Rock and Stone had taken it in stride, proving they were the real deal. Regardless she was glad to finally be able to wipe her ass and shower by herself.

Smiling, she shook Doc’s hand with a strong grip.

He grinned in return. “Nice. You’ve been doing the exercises. Have a seat. Let me do a quick evaluation.”

By the time they finished, there was more discomfort in her shoulder than there had been earlier, but nothing like it was weeks ago.

“Okay. I like what I see. I still want you to take it easy. Wear the sling if necessary. I still don’t want you lifting anything over fifteen pounds. You can resume sex, but nothing acrobatic.”

“Thank fuck!”

She jumped, then turned, startled to find Rock and Stone standing there. “What are you doing here? I thought—”

“Church ended early,” Stone interrupted before turning his attention back to Doc. “You sure she’s good?”

“As long as you don’t overdo it, she’s fine,” Doc confirmed.

Stone crossed the room and swept her up into his arms. He pressed his mouth to hers. She was lightheaded when he finally pulled away.

Everest’s shrill whistle rang out before she could open her mouth to complain. Stone let his slide down his body until she stood on her feet. She turned to see what was going on and froze. The room was full of Raven members. She had no idea where they’d all come from but they stood there looking at her expectantly.

Then the crowd parted and Rock reappeared. He stepped forward holding a cut. Tears filled her eyes once she realized what was going on. She didn’t bother to hide her emotions when Rock stopped in front of her.

“Six weeks ago you said that as soon as you could move without pain you’d become our old lady. If you’ve changed your mind, now is the time to speak up because otherwise, Stone and I are making this as official as it can get.”

Rock handed the cut to Stone. As soon as he had it in his hands, she nodded.

“Yes,” she said before holding her arms out.

Stone helped her put the cut on. As soon as it was in place, cheers filled the room. She turned to hug Stone, pressing her face into his chest as she tried to control her tears. He held her tighter, pressing a kiss against her temple.

“Finally my old lady,” he whispered. “You can’t escape now.”

She laughed as she looked up at him through blurry eyes. “I don’t want to.”

“Good,” he said before giving her a peck on the lips. “Now, Rock is waiting for his turn.”

Her eyes widened as she realized she was neglecting her other man. She spun around.

“Rock, I’m—”

Her words cut off as she gasped taking in the sight before her. Rock knelt on one knee with his arm extended. In his hand, he held a ring so beautiful that she wasn’t even sure she would have picked it. The huge diamond was more than anything she would have expected.

“Blue, I don’t think you realized it, but you were ours from the moment you walked onto this compound.” He paused on a chuckle. “Hell, I’m not sure we knew. But the second we figured it out there was no going back. We’ve already claimed you as our old lady but let’s make this official in every way you desire. Marry me and have our babies.”

Knowing the significance of having this man on one knee in front of most of the club, if she hadn’t already been head-over-heels for him, this move would have sealed the deal. She nodded.
