Rebel exhales. “I know. Did you see the way her cheeks flushed when you complimented her?”

I jerk my head back looking at Rebel. “Thayleah, I think the important thing to focus on here is that we’re all talking too much business around the kids. Not Amber’s schoolgirl crush.”

“So youdothink she has a crush?”

I groan. “Rebel, c’mon… it’s harmless.”

She folds her arms across her chest. “Maybe youlikethe attention?”

I scowl. “You’re being a brat. I only likeyourattention.”

“Fuck, okay. I know you would never do anything, but it scares me thatshemight try. We have a family, Koda, and a brotherhood to care for. This issomuch bigger than just you and me.”

I wrap my arms around her and pull her close. “I promise younothingis gonna happen. If Amber even looks like she’s gonna try something, she’s out on her ass. The kids love her, she needs a place to get back on her feet, that’s it. How ’bout this… onceshe’s got herself sorted, we can ask her to move on. I’ll even get Neon to start helping her look for part-time employment out of the club to help her get some money together?”

Rebel sighs, pressing her forehead to mine. “I mean, I feel bad… but, okay. Let’s do that. I just don’t like how she looks at you. It’s like she wants to eat you.”

I waggle my brows, trying to lighten the mood. “You look at me like that.”

“Exactly my point, baby.”

That hit right where it was meant to.

She sighs. “On top of all this drama, we need to talk about Snow White. We’ve got to keep that shit away from the clubhouse, Koda. Think about it, having fucking cocaine here, at the clubhouse, with our babies around? That’s just asking for trouble. You’re smarter than that. I know right now with this weather, it’s making everything harder, but, Six, if we get raided by the heat, do you want your girls to see you being shoved to the ground and put in cuffs?”

My stomach tightens hearing those words. She’s right.She’s so fucking right.

“You need to send it back to the distribution center… for the kids’ sake.”

I nod and press my lips to hers, a gentle reassurance, before pulling back. “I hear you… on both counts. Amber will be gone by the new year. Let’s give her enough time to get on her feet with a steady job. Can we do that?”

She exhales like she is conceding but nods. “Yeah… I can do that.”

“As for Snow White, that’s club business, but I’ll bring it up with the brothers and try to get it off clubhouse grounds as soon as I can. I promise you, Rebel. I’m not watching my kids grow up from behind bars.”

She smiles but says nothing more, threading her fingers intothe hair at the nape of my neck. “Now, the kids are occupied, so I want you to take me to our room so you can really taste how good my cookies are.”

I widen my eyes and smile. “Fuck, yeah!”

CHAPTER FOUR

REBEL

We race into our room, and he flicks the door locked behind him. The last thing we need is the kids barging in on us. It’s getting harder for us to have sex these days between finding time away from the kids and my swollen belly, but we make do.

He pulls me to him, his hand sliding around my ass and gripping tightly. “I’ve fucking missed your body.”

I snort out a laugh. “It’s only been a couple of weeks since we last had sex.” In all honesty, a coupleof weeks too long.

His lips move in, pressing against my neck, instantly making my skin come alive. “I know it’s so hard to find time these days, but when we do, I want to takefulladvantage of you,” he growls out, and the promise sends a shiver of anticipation down my spine.

Six starts pulling at my clothes, and I don’t resist. Instead, I help him, stripping down naked and then appreciating the view as he eases out of his. He’s right. These moments aren’t nearly enough, but we make sure each one counts.

Our lips touch softly, but not kissing as we pant for breath, the emotion of the moment taking over fully until I can’t hold back any longer. I shift, pressing my lips to his, and he doesn’t hesitate, his lips now urgent against mine. The need, the hunger, as our tongues find refuge in each other, heats my body the way only he can. I thread my fingers through his hair while holding him to me, kissing passionately as he leads us to the bed.

Laying me beneath him, his hips rock against me, his cock so hard I don’t know how he’s keeping himself together. Six’s kiss softens from my lips, pulling back and trailing his bearded mouth down my neck. His tongue darts out, and he glides italong my sensitive skin.

I wriggle against him, needing more as he edges further along my body, his tongue gliding over my nipple. My hands slide down his neck to his shoulders, unsure if I want to pull him closer or push him to where I crave more. He takes it into his mouth with a deep sucking motion, making my back arch, and I let out a small whimper at the sensation. Tingles slither from my nipple to my clit as his teeth graze against my flesh. His hand eagerly slides between my legs while his finger rotates on my swollen nub, my wetness already greeting him as he circles me effortlessly. The feeling is intoxicating, sending a wave of adrenaline through me.
