“My sister Cherie always told me when things got tough that ‘Life sucks and everything is scary.’” I must have had a look which said, what the fuck?. “I know it sounds like shit advice, but it would make us laugh because of how true it is, and she would always say it at the height of annoyance or anger. We had no choice but to crack up.” Oh man, I can’t stop myself from laughing because I have met Cherie before, and I know that is some shit she would say.

“Thanks, Battle. You definitely have taken my mind off things, but I still want to strangle the life out of him.”

“Ed will get things squared away on his end with the cops, douchebag’s lawyer, Jenna’s sister, and ex-mother-in-law. Travis will be there, and I’ll be there as well. This is what we do.”

“I’m afraid something is going to happen to Jenna.” I have this gut feeling and my instincts are usually pretty on point. “If this motherfucker hurts her, I will not be responsible for my actions, Battle.”

“She’s going to have round-the-clock protection.” It doesn’t make me feel any better. Jenna’s voice is loud from the other side of the room.

“Bitch, you called the cops on me?” Robert’s voice blares through the speakerphone.

“I didn’t call the cops on you. My lawyer contacted your lawyer, and what they did, I have no clue.” Jenna is calm with this man. I’d be raising my voice and calling him names.

“You’ll regret this.” The venom coming from this man has me wanting to take the law into my own hands. I’m a lawyer and always fight for justice by following the rules, but right now I’d throw the damn rule book out.

“Wesley will be at the police station with your mom to meet my sister no later than two tomorrow afternoon. If she’s late, then the lawyers and cops will handle it.” He hangs up on her.

“How do you do that?” My voice is calm, but my insides want to tear someone apart.

“Do what?” Jenna tilts her head to the right while pursing her lips; she’s adorable.

“Stay calm and not call him names. I’d be telling him how I feel about him and wanting to cut his dick off.”

Jenna chuckles.

“I think he records my conversations. Plus, telling him off will only get him off. I’d stoop to his level, and I refuse to do it. I play nice for now because I’m collecting my ammunition to take him back to court.” She shrugs. “What now?”

“Your sister is going to be there to pick him up, and we’ll be there as well. No one will know we’re there.” There’s a knock on the door and Jenna moves off the chair to the door. She opens it and there stands Travis in his uniform since he had to leave earlier.

“Officer Hastings, what are you doing here?”Jenna asks.

“Come in, Eagle,” I say. Jenna moves out of the way. “He’s part of the Wild Jesters,” I explain.

“That’s why you looked so familiar earlier. I couldn’t place it. Seeing you in your police uniform now has all the dots connecting.” Eagle laughs. He follows Battle into the kitchen while Jenna and I walk into the office, which is off the front room.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were part of an MC?” Jenna asks me point blank. Her voice stays neutral, like she’s trying to figure out things in her head, and I’m gathering the right words in my head. Last thing I want to do is piss her off.

“If you recall when you first met me, I was wearing my cut. Or were you too busy checking out my…” I tease her as her cheeks redden from my comment.

“I think it was you who was checking out my ass.”

“Oh, believe me, I was checking you out and I like your ass. Stop flirting with me and distracting me from answering your question.” She sticks her tongue out at me. I like the easy teasing banter Jenna and I have with each other. “I’ve said nothing to you because I thought you knew.” I hope this won’t be a problem. I like Jenna a lot, and so does Mallory. “Does it bother you now that you know?”

“I don’t think I have a problem with it.” Jenna steps forward, so she’s staring up at me. “But I’m fucking pissed you never offered me a ride.” She pokes my chest like she’s irritated with me, making me laugh. If she only knew how badly I want to give her a ride, and on my bike too.

Fuck it. “Oh, anytime you want to ride me, all you have to do is ask.” The reddening of Jenna’s cheeks signals my cock. It twitches in my jeans. I want to lean down and capture her lips, but Battle Axe yells for us and we leave the tiny space and I silently curse them for interrupting the bubble we are forming. The guys all head out and Jenna hugs them.

“I’m worried about tomorrow but feel a lot better knowing my sister isn’t going to be alone. I’m worried about Robert showing up.” She walks up into my arms, and I hold her.

I kiss the top of her head, but she looks up at me. I lower my mouth to hers, doing what I wanted to do just a minute ago, and gently kiss her. Her body melts into mine just as a moan escapes her lips. As I deepen the kiss, my pocket vibrates as it rings “Barbie Girl” to let me know Mallory is calling.

“Cockblocked by my daughter,” I growl as I grab my phone. Jenna giggles. “Hello, sweetheart.”

“Daddy, when are you coming home? I’m getting hungry.”

“I’ll be home soon, and we can eat.”

“Love you.” She hangs up.
