“Hey, Dad. Hey, Alice. What are you two doing here?” she asks as she wipes sweat from her forehead with a towel.

Red is standing there with a slack jaw. “Baby girl, I knew you were getting good, but I didn’t know you had gottenthatgood. Capone is over two hundred pounds,” he says, astonished.

Cindy giggles before saying, “I’m alright. I still have some learning to do.” She shrugs with a smile as Capone walks up, smacking his teeth.

“Oh, now you want to be modest.” He shakes his head at her before looking up at Red and me. “Last week, she put Dice in an armbar that had his ass damn near in tears.”

The brothers break out in laughter as Dice gets up and storms over to Capone. “That’s a lie!” he denies.

“Uncle Dice, your exact words wereCara, Sara, come get this hellhound off of meeee!” Hannah mocks him with a whine.

That causes the brothers to fall laughing even more, including me.

“That was for show, Hannah, duh. I had to make it seem real.” Dice rolls his eyes childishly.

“Really?” Hannah tilts her head to the side with a sinister smirk. I do a double take because I swear it’s as if she’s silently threatening him. Dice swallows before turning to Bear, who is doubled over and clutching his stomach.

“You have corrupted that child! She’s devious, I tell you!” he shouts before storming out. Some of the brothers follow Dice out, teasing him about getting his ass handed to him by a nine-year-old.

“It’s about time, Alice. We’ve been waiting for you,” Cara says.

“I would have been here from day one if I had known this was on the table.”

She raises her brow with a smirk. “I want you to remember that when you wake up tomorrow.”

I frown, looking around the room and noticing the snorts and sneaky smiles. “What does that mean?” I ask hastily.

“You’ll see.” She wiggles her eyebrows before walking away.

Lord, what have I gotten myself into?

Chapter Seventeen

BIG RED

“Why didn’t you warn me, Red? I swear, muscles I didn’t even know existed ache right now,” Alice whines as I rub her body down.

She’s been training with Cara and Sara for over a week. The first few sessions, she thought they would get right into teaching her moves, but she was sadly mistaken.

They started off with exercising to build her upper and lower body strength. Those workouts were so intense I had to carry her home afterward. They had her doing everything from cardio to weightlifting. Cindy and Hannah's workouts weren’t as hard as Alice's, but they still did things that amazed me.

The way Cara and Sara have trained the girls, you would think they were raising them to be assassins. I find comfort in knowing that when my baby girl grows up, she will fully be able to protect herself. She won'teverend up like my mother.

Unbeknownst to the club, my mother was the sole reason I agreed to allow Cindy to start self-defense classes with Cara and Sara. When they first approached me and told me Cindy had caught them sparring and wanted to learn, I didn’t hesitate to approve.

Shaking my head, I concentrate on the task at hand. I work my fingers in circular motions, digging into Alice's back. She hums so low, like a little kitten. I feel her body relaxing under my touch.

“Mmm, that feels sooo good,” she purrs, sinking deeper into my mattress.

I move my hands lower and begin to massage her round ass. All she has on is a thong. She told me no funny business when I told her to strip for her massage, claiming her body was too sore. I respect it, but that doesn’t mean I can’t get my feel on.

As soon as I give her cheeks a nice firm squeeze, she quickly slides from under me.

“Aht… aht… aht. Didn’t I tell you no hanky-panky?” She raises a brow while covering her naked breast with one arm.

I flatten her body against the mattress with mine and peck her lips. It quickly turns heated. I dipped my tongue into her mouth, causing her to moan. Alice places her hands on my shoulder, allowing me to devour her lips. I run my hands down her body and grab onto her thighs. Alice hisses and breaks the kiss.

“I told you I’m sore, babe. As much as I love having you inside me, there will be no hank?—”
