I wanted her in my home by now, but every time I try to bring up the MC, she changes the fucking subject, and before I knew it, one week turned to two, then three, and suddenly, five fucking months have passed, but now we’re expecting a baby, a baby I guaranteed would happen, a baby we cannot bring home into that apartment.

I squeeze her tighter to me. Fuck, she’s going to skin me alive when she realizes not only did I lie about who I am to get her to marry me, but that I also messed with her birth control pills, taking notes from Breaker, who did the same with his woman, Quinn.

I mean, Quinn was pissed for a little while but was fine, eventually, so surely this would be the same, right?

Nope, not the same, a voice whispers in my head.

Fuck’s sake, I even forgot to tell her I had a blood brother. I think I’m still in the doghouse after Amber stopped us in the street, after which I repeatedly lied to Rory.

She thinks Amber just saw me naked coming out of the shower, when in reality, I fucked her with Breaker several times.

Worst fucking mistake.

I place my face into my girl’s neck right as my phone vibrates. I silently curse, knowing it’s the club.

It’s family BBQ day, and I know my momma will have my ass if I don’t show up, but it’s our girl’s birthday, for Christ’s sake.

I groan, kissing my girl’s neck, and she whispers, “Got an emergency, huh?”

I nod in her neck and rasp, “I’ll be back before Autumn wakes from her nap.”

She hums and says, “Okay, but just so you know, you're still in the doghouse.”

I chuckle, kissing her neck before looking at Autumn to see her yawning.

“Hmm, perfect timing, Princess,” I mumble, and Aurora chuckles, walking out of my hold and going to our girl. I rush after her, grabbing Autumn before Rory can and lift her. Autumn’s head goes to my shoulder, and I raise a brow at Rory, who huffs and walks out of the penguin viewing room.

I chuckle and follow her, stating, “We need to go to the gift shop first, Firecracker….”

She looks back at me with a smile and heads that way, while I silently promise always to make her smile.

An hour and a half later, and I walk into the club, fucking pissed off.

It’s my girl’s birthday, and I know she’s sleeping, but I should be with them or, fuck, they should be coming here with me so the whole club can celebrate, but they can’t because I lied and I’m already in the doghouse as it is, though buying Autumn the biggest penguin stuffie opened the door a little.

I notice Tats instantly, he’s talking to his dad, Iron, who, in my opinion, should be fucking grateful his son gave him a second chance.

I walk over to them, and Tats raises a brow at me, his brown eyes looking at me knowingly, and I groan, knowing I’m going to have to give him something, especially when he, along with my brother and father, are the only ones who know the shit I’ve done.

I look at him and ask, “Remember the woman I’ve been seeing?” He nods. “Well, I’m in the doghouse.”

Iron looks at me in shock because, yeah, I get it, I was a player, the biggest one in the club, but Aurora, yeah, she’s everything.

“You finally told her you're part of an MC?” he asks with a raised brow as Iron is mid-drink.

Beer sprays in front of us, and Iron coughs as he chokes. Tats laughs, and I snort because that shit was fucking funny.

I shake my head and rasp, “No, she hasn’t found out yet, but we did bump into Snake's ex, Amber, who decided to ask my woman if she’d seen how big my cock was yet.”

Tats’ eyes widen, and he asks, “How’d you explain that one, then?”

I wince. “I lied, told her she was my brother’s ex-girlfriend, and had walked in on me in the shower once.”

Iron laughs as Tats sighs. “Brother, you fucked her with Breaker.”

I cringe and inquire, “I fucked up again, didn’t I?” causing Tats to sigh again at my stupidity.

He replies, “Yeah, brother, you did. Not only does she still not know you’re in an MC, a lifestyle she’s completely against, but now you’re lying about the women you’ve been with. I honestly don’t think there’s anything more you could do to screw up at this point except for fucking cheating.”
