When Angel and Amelia arrived, Evie clapped with giddy delight.“Now the party can really begin.Let me introduce you to some of the other Old Ladies.”

A tiny woman who was heavily pregnant gave me a hug the moment she saw me.I knew right away this was Angel, Reaper’s Old Lady.

“It’s so good to meet you, Maddy.I’ve heard nothing but good things about you from Evie.”

A blindingly beautiful woman, who was the female version of her equally attractive sibling, hugged me next.“I’m Amelia!”she said, her platinum blonde hair reaching nearly to her waist.“And let me just say, I’m a hairdresser, and I’m in love with your red hair!It’s natural, right?”She looked transfixed at the dark mass.“You could never achieve this color and tone from a bottle!”

Smiling hard, I laughed.“Yeah.It’s real.I only wished my classmates liked it as much growing up as people seem to now.Childhood was brutal as a natural redhead.”

“Preach!”Hammer said from a few feet away.“Lucky for me, I could just punch people when I didn’t like their attitude.”

“Yet another reason it’s good to be a man,” I jested.

“Jealousy.Pure Jealousy,” Amelia concluded, reaching out and rubbing a curl in between her fingers.“It’s magnificent.”

I might be horribly vain, but a woman as gorgeous as Amelia telling me how beautiful my hair was made me feel really good about how I looked tonight.

Glancing in Cici’s direction, I loved the forward blonde even more when she said, “Is that bridge troll still hanging around the Club?I thought she finally gave up and went away when Bishop told her he was with Evie.”

Evie winced.“Seems she’s hanging around German these days and hassling Maddy now.”

Angel shook her head.“Let’s not let her spoil our night out.This is probably the last time I’ll be able to go out before I give birth, and I plan to have a good time!”

Angel’s zeal was contagious.“Same.I’ve been locked away in this Clubhouse for days now.Thanks to Evie, I was able to get out for a wonderful afternoon yesterday.But I’m so ready to do it again.”

Evie smiled.“I had a great time too.I’ve been working so much lately that sometimes I forget to stop and enjoy everything the way I should.”

Reaper came over then and told us we could head outside to the awaiting SUV.Again, Boots was our driver, and he was already inside the vehicle with the AC cranked on high.

Evie laughed when she saw him.“You understand we’re not going to the cafe tonight, right?”

Boots winked in the rearview mirror.“I just couldn’t pass up the chance to see all my favorite ladies.”

Amelia, who’d sat up front with him and was changing the radio station to something she preferred, said, “I think the only reason you miss hanging out with me at the salon is because you no longer have access to all the beautiful women who work there.”

Boots shrugged.“I’m not going to deny the Baby Doll has a plethora of beautiful women to pick from.And let’s not forget the free haircuts!”He scrubbed his shaved head and the women laughed.

Amelia motioned like she was going to be sick.“You’re such a perv, Boots!My nail tech Stacey told me you two hooked up.And Kenya, my wax girl.And Carine, my receptionist.You’ve moved through my salon like a damned plague!At this point, me and Mario are the only two working there who haven’t seen you naked.”

Boots grinned, having absolutely zero shame.“Mario’s the good-looking Spanish guy, right?”

Amelia whacked the man for his ridiculous joke.“Stay away from my salon, Boots.I can’t afford another broken heart in the place.I already had to break up a fight between Kenya and Stacey after the last time you visited for a haircut.”

Boots’ eyebrows raised.“They were fighting over me?”

“Don’t be so smug,” Amelia returned.“They also fought over the last piece of Evie’s flourless torte yesterday.That fight was even worse!”

“Wait a second,” Evie said then, making a sudden connection in her mind.“Have you been hooking up with my staff as well?”

“A gentleman never tells,” Boots said, miming zipping his mouth closed.

“All this time I thought you liked my chocolate chunk muffins, but you were really after my female staff!”she accused with a hearty laugh.

“Can’t a man enjoy both?”the good-looking biker philosophically queried.

The group bantered back and forth like this until we got to the Knights’ Clubhouse.By the time we’d parked, my sides hurt from laughing so much.Our men had already arrived and were milling about, waiting for us.

When Reaper, Bishop, Hawk, Ox, and German spotted the SUV, they immediately walked over to it.
