Tiana made a gagging sound, which had Ayesha groaning.

“That was such a bad pickup line,” Tiana laughed.

King looked over Ayesha’s head. “It wasn’t a line.” He smiled, thinking he would love to delve between Ayesha’s legs.

AYESHA PULLED AWAYfrom King, turned around so she could walk backward, and shook her finger at him. “Behave,” she admonished.

King leaned forward, nipping her finger. “I never behave, Little Dove. You should know that from the jump.”

His words made every single fiber in her body come alive. No man should be so...so everything like him. “You should come with a warning label,” she whispered too low for Tiana to overhear.

“What would your label say, hmm?” His warm breath fanned over her ear and down her neck as he bent down to her level.

She shivered, unable to control her body from reacting to his nearness or the man himself. “If I told you, you’d get a big head.”

King pulled her into him. “Honey, let me tell you something. I already have a big head, but you’ll love it when I fuck your pussy, or when I have you on your knees as you take me between those fuckable lips. Never doubt that.” He kissed her quick and hard. “Mmm, you taste like bacon. Feed me, woman.”

She looked around to see if her sister had overheard, but she was on the other side of the table, placing the dish with eggs in the center.

“I’ll go get the rest.” Ayesha nodded at the food, needing space from the too-sexy man, or she'd embarrass herself.

King must have received a message on his phone. He made a face and pulled the phone out of his pocket. “Holler if you need help.”

She and Tiana made one more trip into the spacious kitchen, grabbing the platter of bacon and plate of toast. “Can you get the butter and jam?”

Tiana, being the smart aleck she was, held the items in her hand so that Ayesha could see she’d already grabbed them. “Duh, already got ‘em. Hey, I know you think I’m too young and you need to protect me, but I see the way King looks at you and all. We haven’t discussed that your salon was blown up because of me and my bad decisions. Instead, we’re in a motorcycle club kitchen cooking breakfast like nothing’s happened, Ayesha.”

Her heart jerked at the pain her sister’s words caused. She had hoped that if she pretended nothing was wrong by pushing reality to the background, it would give them another moment of peace before the real world crashed in on them. Nothing could change the fact her salon was gone. Blessedly, nobody was hurt, and since King had taken charge, diverting the cops from their whereabouts, she took the out he gave without blinking an eye. Clearly Rico wasn’t going to just let Tiana go without a fight. He was willing to take drastic measures to do whatever damage he could to those he deemed his enemy. Although Ayesha hadn’t been part of Tiana’s rescue, Rico obviously didn’t care. Hiding out at the Royal Sons was where she wanted to be. Even though losing her livelihood hurt, having her sister safe and within her reach made every sacrifice worthwhile.

“T, I can rebuild my salon. My clients can be contacted and rescheduled, or shit, I can find new ones. What I can’t replace is you. I’d do anything, anything, to keep you safe. Do you understand me?” She sat the dishes she held down. The overwhelming urge to shake some sense into Tiana made her grab her sister’s arms, giving her a little shake.

“Easy there, you’ll make me drop this stuff,” Tiana muttered.

“Hey, what’s going on in here?” King asked from the doorway.

Ayesha took a deep breath. “Nothing,” she said before picking the platters back up.

“Tiana, go ahead and take that stuff on out there. I need to have a moment with your sister. Duke’s out there waiting. Tell him we’ll be out in a second.” King came further into the room, taking the platters from Ayesha and placing them back on the counter.

She wasn’t surprised to see her sister obey King as much as she was shocked at how her body responded to his command. “What’s wrong?” she asked. “Did you hear something else about—”

King placed one finger over her mouth. “We’re gonna get something straight right here and right now. I have rules that will be followed. If I ask a question, you will answer me with the truth. Period. If you lie, there will be consequences. When I came in here and asked you what was going on, you said nothing when something was clearly wrong. That was a lie. Care to be truthful this time?”

She tried to turn away, but he gripped the back of her hair in one of his hands. The action sent a thrill through her veins. “Tiana was upset and didn’t understand why I was pretending everything was fine. I...I tried to explain to her that she was more important than my business. There, is that what you wanted to hear?”

“For starters. Now, another thing you need to understand is you are important, too. You don’t put yourself in harm’s way either. When I said you were under my protection, and you agreed, that meant you agreed with how I handle things.” He brought her body against his. “Do you know what happens if you break one of my rules?”

Although he held her tightly, Ayesha wasn’t scared. His hard body gave her a measure of security she should’ve fought against because she hadn't known him long, but instead, she relished. “I’m assuming you have some sort of punishment. Do you send me to bed without dinner?” she joked, only he didn’t smile like she’d hoped.

“Oh no, that’s for little girls, and you’re no little girl. Of course, I suppose me putting you over my lap and beating your ass red might make you think that’s for little girls.” He tugged on her hair, keeping her head at his desired angle.

“Are you threatening to spank me?” She swallowed hard.

“No, I’m promising. This was your one and only pass. Let’s go before Duke and your sister come looking for us.” He released her hair, his fingers sifted through it as if he couldn’t help himself.

“I don’t know why, but I kinda want to push your buttons, King.” She reached for the bacon platter.

“Oh, trust me, I’ll have you over my lap, ass in the air before too long. However, you don’t want me to have you there because you’re in trouble. The former, I’ll give you pleasure like you’ve never known existed. The latter, you’ll beg me to give you relief, but I’ll keep you on the edge until I feel you’ve learned your lesson.” He ran his hand over her ass.
