“I do not need a babysitter.” I try to protest.

“Look, I remember when my cousin Knox proposed to his girl. He lost his shit, bit a hole in his tongue, and ultimately threw up on her before he could even get the ring out! I just don’t want you to freak out that hard about this.”

“Wait! Knox never got married.” I give Liam a look of what the fuck. He just shrugs, nodding his head. “Rude! That is not helpful.” I let out an exasperated breath as my heart pounds at the notion that she could still say no.

“She isn’t going to say no. She wants to say yes, she just wants the proposal. Emily told me man. Pipsqueak is completely in love with you and hasn’t really dated anyone in the time she has known her. Just remember how much you want her and tell her the truth. She will say yes.” Liam puts all the kidding aside, placing a hand on my shoulder.

He has always been there for me, even through my freshman year in college. It was a time in my life where I hated everyone and everything. By the end of my sophomore year, I had just become more ruthless but tolerable. I feel like I wasn’t the man that she would have expected me to be.

I know I don’t deserve her.

Doesn’t mean that I would ever let her go now that I have her, not when I’m finally whole again.

“Come on bro, let’s go see if we can fulfill our girls’ wildest fantasies. I have had to spank that fake ass three times today, just being so close to her.”

I laugh, knowing Liam has been keeping his dick in his pants at all times around Emily. Knowing her past after looking at the reports, I get it.

We head out the side door and make the short walk to the girls next door. I look at my best friend with pride, knowing the kind of leader he will be for the Saints.

I like seeing this side of him. Liam has never really cared about anything but the job, respect, pussy, and parties. He loves going to the clubs, especially mine. I gave the place a facelift when I was twenty-five, and now a complete remodel before I’m thirty. All in my plan.

Evie and coming back to New Orleans has only progressed my ideas of expanding the club to all major Saint cities. I can see the bigger picture now! She has made me see it. I have so many plans for us over the next few days.

I think about all of these things as my brain goes into overdrive, causing my palms to sweat again!

The door is once again left unlocked. These girls have no sense of security.

We make our way into the living room, where our girls are both passed out on the couch.

“Let’s get them both to bed and clean up the mess so we have less to do in the morning before we leave. I already called ahead to the donut shop and got breakfast covered so we can all eat in the cars on the trip” Liam grins, gently picking up Emily, being careful not to wake her.

“Deal.” I mumble, not excited to stay awake or stay away from Evie for one more minute.

I mimic my friend and carefully pick up my little drunk witch in my arms and carry her to her room. I remove all of her clothes, admiring her perfect tits as I tuck her in bed.

I kiss her forehead causing her to stir slightly, “I love you Brix, I’m so sorry.” She mumbles the words sleepily, but they are clear as day.

Is she going to say no?

Bullshit! She is just dreaming, and is apologizing for something that didn’t even happen, still playing out her TV show scenes in her head.

I make my way back downstairs with slight doubt creeping its way back up my spine, clouding my perfect vision of us.

“Hey, let’s watch the last few episodes so we have material for them tomorrow.” I offer, hoping Liam will stick it out with me.

“Okay, let’s finish cleaning up and grab some leftovers from the fridge, and I’m down! To be honest, I’m still kind of on a high from earlier.” He admits.

Chapter 18

Brixon

Iwake up to my phone going off and sunlight blinding me.

“Fuck!” I grumble as I fumble, blindly trying to find my phone, realizing it’s not anywhere near me.

I hesitantly crack my eyes open, still feeling around the couch until my fingers brush against soft flesh and hair.

Hair!
