“How my reputation and dating life are going to be destroyed because I have to claim to be dating some biker dude? Yep. She gave me all the deets. Just promise me you’ll make sure our father is sentenced for life.”
She has nothing to worry about. That man will never walk the streets again. Soon, he’ll no longer be breathing.
“By the way.” She turns toward Chrissy. “How am I supposed to show up to prom with a guy who probably looks like he belongs in a gang? No offense.” She shoots me a look. “It’s just Chrissy and I don’t exactly have the same taste in men.”
“Don’t be so dramatic, Jess.” Chrissy rolls her eyes at her sister. “You’re not going to be ruined. Besides, I don’t think anyone will think you’re crazy for dating Rake or hanging out with an entourage of hot men. I mean, just look at them.”
What the hell? My girl thinks the guys are hot? She’s gesturing towards them with a smile on her face and the smile that was on mine is now gone.
My grip locks down on her chin and I turn her attention up to me. “You trying to make me jealous, baby girl?”
She shakes her head, biting down on her lip to keep herself from giggling. When her eyes roll at me, I decide she’s going to be getting that ass of hers spanked as soon as we’re alone.
“You know you’re the only one I want, Sean, and will always be the sexiest man alive to me, but that doesn’t mean I’m blind.”
Now, I’m the one shaking my head. I lean down right to her ear so Jess, who still hasn’t said a peep as she stares at my men, isn’t privy to what I have to say. “You’re in trouble, babe. Just giving you a heads-up. That little comment just earned that peach of yours a tanning.”
A shiver runs down her spine, and the look in her eyes tells me we need to take off soon. My girl is craving some special attention, and my dick can’t fucking wait to meet her demands.
“Jess.” Chrissy turns toward the girl who seems to be studying my prospects long and hard, sizing them up like she’s a queen determining if her guard is worthy of his rank. Damn, she’s going to be trouble. And I need to make damn sure my guys know what they’re up against. “I hate leaving you right now, butwe need to head out before we’re spotted by a patrol car. Rake and the guys are going to fill you in on everything. So, just do as they say, and you’ll be safe. And call me if you need anything. Day or night. I’m here for you always.”
Chrissy gives the girl a hug, and I give Jess one last reminder of how important it is for her to listen to my men. “Your sister is right, Jess. You follow my men’s orders and all will be fine. From here on out, they call the shots. Understood?”
And there she goes cocking that chin again and narrowing her eyes up at me. The girl has no fear, which could seriously get her into trouble if she’s not careful.
“I’m a little too old to have babysitters dictating my bedtime. But if the guys are concerned about something, then I’m all ears. I’ll do what I need to stay safe, but I’m not going to be treated like a child.”
I tip my chin, deciding it’s better for me to walk away before I say something that will get me into trouble with my angel. I just need to remind myself that Jess is an eighteen-year-old girl who just had her life turned upside down. All of her emotions are running high right now, and I need to have patience while she adjusts to her new reality.
Rake’s giving the guys the lowdown as I approach. I have a few more comments of my own to add. “Little Miss Priss is going to be a fucking handful. Especially with you, Rake.” I point my stare on him. “Better keep her in line and watch her like a hawk. I’ve got a feeling she’s gonna buck the system since she’s so damn worried about her dating life. My guess is she’ll try to give you boys the slip. So I want you on her ass at all times. You hear me?”
I look toward the others, checking for understanding, then pin my stare right back on Rake. I’m trusting him to keep her safe. Chrissy is my life, and her sister is the only family she has left, which means nothing can go wrong. But I know it won’t.These men wouldn’t be prospects of the Savage Knights if they weren’t capable of taking out a complete army.
Once I’m finished giving the rest of my instructions, I leave them with one final warning. “These women are considered club property and are fucking precious to me, boys. There will be no forgiveness if my orders aren’t followed to a tee. We clear?”
They all grunt their agreement before I turn and make my way over to my truck. I help Chrissy up inside, giving her cute little ass a slap before shutting her in and going around to my side. Later, that peach is going to be mine for the taking.
“Thank you, Sean.” My girl hits me with her sweet smile as I start the engine. I turn and grip the base of her head, kissing the shit out of her until we’re both breathless.
“No thanks needed, babe. Now, are you ready for your next surprise?”
She smiles and presses her lips forward, slipping her tongue right in and striking the match. Damn, I need to be alone with her. “I’m more than ready,” she moans against my lips.
I think that pussy of hers is ready to be played with too, which is exactly what’s going to be happening as soon as I get her back to the trailer. I kept the thing for sentimental reasons. It was where my girl and I shared all of her firsts together, and I never wanted to let it go. And as soon as we pull up to the thing and I see the brilliant smile on my angel’s face, I’m so damn thankful I kept it.
“You still own it?”
“I do.” I brush my finger across her cheek, watching her stare at the metal box as if it’s the most magnificent mansion. “Figured we’d move it to our property and live in it while we’re building our house, babe.”
Her smile grows even larger. “That’s exactly what we said we’d do.”
I know. We mapped out our road to our future together five years ago, and now, it’s time to start paving that road. The one that leads us right to our happy ending. No more roadblocks. No more dead ends. No more sadness.
“We’re going to do it all, angel. All of your dreams are going to come true. Like I said, I’m going to make damn sure of it.”
She turns toward me and a tear slips down her cheek. “They already have, Sean. You’re the only dream that mattered. I’ve already gotten my happy ending.”
Damn, she has no idea how much those words mean to me. All the nights I tried to drown my pain at the bottom of a whiskey bottle, and all I ever found was loneliness. But I’m no longer alone. And I’m no longer hurting for the one I lost. She’s right here, staring at me with so much love in her eyes that I feel the tears filling mine.
