Page 77 of What He Wants

“After Daisy sees the place tonight, she’ll probably want to move in immediately.”

“She’s tired of living at the clubhouse,” Michelle said. She was a sight, the tips of her short, spiky hair coated with what looked like cotton candy. She’d obviously gotten paint into her hair.

“Can you blame her?” Allie asked.

“Well, it’s not like you have a lot of shit to move,” said Painter.

“True, brother. All the furniture Daisy ordered will be delivered this weekend, so she’ll have to wait until at least then. But there’s nothing to say I can’t christen the place tonight.” I knew the wolfish grin on my face revealed what my intentions were.

“You men are all animals,” Carol, Audra’s friend, and the only woman there who was not an old lady, quipped with mock contempt. Her gaze slid over every woman there before she joked, “Where can I get one?” Laughter broke out.

“Well, for starters,” Audra began, giving her friend a wink, “you have to get rid of Craig.”

“Not necessarily,” Painter jumped in, drawing everyone’s attention. “Unless you’d like a little action on the side. I’m always up for that.”

Just about everyone groaned and rolled their eyes. He was such a man-whore.

“Youwould be, brother,” Rock smirked.

“They’re on their way,” I said, slipping my phone back into my pocket after hearing back from Jasmine.”

“Then let’s pack up this shit and get lost,” Hawk grumbled, sending everyone into action. “What do we need to get inside, baby?” He glanced down at Audra.

“Just the paint and gear. We moved it all to the kitchen.”

“Okay, you girls are done and can head home. The rest of us will get the rest.” He gave Audra a quick kiss, and then sent her on her way with a smack to her ass.

The women piled into Audra’s large SUV, while my brothers began to pick up shit and toss it into the bed of a club truck we kept on hand for jobs. We worked quickly, and in no time the ladders, left over paint, brushes, and tarp were loaded up, and my brothers were heading to their bikes while Ned climbed into the truck.

“When you’re ready to take the barn down, let us know.” Hawk was on his bike and getting ready to take off.

I nodded and gave him a wave off. The others followed suit, following close behind our prez as they left my property and drove down the road, leaving a trail of dust, the noise of their bikes sounding like thunder. Just as they turned a corner and disappeared, another vehicle came into view. I grinned, anticipation of seeing my woman heating my blood. As Jasmine drove closer I stepped out the way so she could turn into the drive. “What the fuck did you do to my woman?” I leaned inside the driver’s side window with a grin, amused at the sight of Daisy sitting there, blindfolded, and looking a little flustered.

“Big John!” Daisy gasped with obvious surprise, a smile moving across her pretty mouth. “Jasmine threatened to take our first born if I didn’t humor her and wear a blindfold!” Her hands went up to remove it.

“Oh, no you don’t!” Jasmine quickly slapped Daisy’s hands away. “Not yet, you’ll ruin the surprise.”

Daisy let out a huff, but settled back against the seat. “It had better be good,” she said sullenly.

I grinned as I made my way to the other side of the car. “It is, baby.” I opened her door and helped her out, careful not to hit her rounded belly. She grasped my hands and clung to them as I carefully turned her toward the house. “You ready?” She nodded, that sexy bottom lip caught between her teeth. I couldn’t resist leaning in and giving her a kiss. Then I reached up and removed her blindfold, which turned out to be a pair of silky black panties. I gave Jasmine a questioning look, but she just shrugged.

“They’re new,” she said. “We did a little shopping after dinner. Daisy said that she needed new panties since you kept ruining hers.”

I couldn’t say anything in response to that. It was true.

“Oh, my!” Daisy gushed, her tone revealing her surprise and happiness. “When . . . What?” She turned back to me. “When did you do this?”

“We just finished.” There was a question in her sparkling eyes. “The club showed up early this morning, and we spent the day painting and shit. The old ladies took care of the inside for you.”

Tears filled her eyes. She dropped her hand to her belly and began to rub over it, as if to soothe the baby inside. My kid. My daughter. My heart was fucking full of pride and love for this woman. It was going to fucking burst when Molly made an appearance and I held her for the first time. It wouldn’t be long now.

“It’s beautiful,” Daisy said once she was able to pull herself together. “I never expected this. They’re good people.”

“Hell, yes, they are,” I agreed. I moved up behind her and wrapped my arms around her, nuzzling the side of her neck. “After the furniture is delivered this weekend we can move right in.”

“I wish we could stay here tonight.” Her soft voice revealed the emotion she was feeling.

I leaned in closer. “I doubt you’d feel comfortable on the floor, baby. But there is one thing I want to do before we leave.”
