“You’ve given me the world, Angel.I’d go through it all again, just to be sitting here like this with you right now, surrounded by my family.”

She curls into me deeper, her head going down to press against the side of my neck as she looks out at my brothers and their old ladies.Diesel and Rory are standing by the bar, laughing with Dani and Crusher.Down from them Fury and Ellie are talking to each other, their concentration on each other so complete that it’s a toss-up on if they realize there are other people in the same room.Rebel and his new girlfriend are out on the dance floor, same with Scorpion and the woman he’s been dating for the last month.

It’s easy to tell that everyone here is happy and satisfied.I’m glad, I want that for my family, but there’s no way in hell they are as happy as I am right now.

Torrent and I have come through hell, and through it all we’ve held onto one another.I wasn’t lying to her, even though sometimes I wonder if she thinks so.

I’d go through every damn thing again, even Wolf’s torture.I’d endure it all to be the bastard that gets to hold onto her like this, and be the man in her bed.

Life is sweet and fuck if it just doesn’t keep getting sweeter.

“I love you, Logan.”

“I love you, too, Angel.I always will.”

We kiss then, and I realize that my brother Fury and I are just alike, because I love my wife so much that other people in the room cease to exist for me, too.

Later That Night

“Noah,you’ve been quiet all night.Are you okay?”

I look over at Rory and give her a smile to reassure her.

“I’m good baby.I swear.I just have Ryan on my mind.”

Rory walks over to the bed and slides under the covers.She’s wearing one of my old t-shirts.I’d rather have her naked, but she doesn’t like to sleep that way because of Ryan.He has a habit of coming into our room late at night.He doesn’t do it as much now as he used to, but the possibility is always out there.

I tunnel my hand under the t-shirt and spread my hand against the warm flesh of her stomach.

“Ryan will be fine, you know,” she says gently, those beautiful eyes of hers watching me closely.

“I know, it’s just hard to let him go,” I tell her.Ryan has a class trip tomorrow to the zoo in Ohio and a theme park.He and the other kids will be staying overnight in a hotel, and the thought of him being that far away from me makes me feel like I can’t breathe.

“I thought that would be your reaction.So, me, being the perfect wife that I am?—”

“You are the perfect wife,” I tell her, leaning down to press a quick kiss against her lips.

“You do your best to never forget that, got it?”she says with a laugh.

“Trust me, I won’t, Gorgeous.”

“Good.Now, do you want to know what I’ve done that makes me the perfect wife?”

“I’m afraid that list is too long to go over, Baby.”

“Keep that up, Noah and you’re going to get lucky tonight.”

“My dick is always up and ready when you’re around,” I joke and then laugh when she rolls her eyes at me.

“That was so bad.Don’t make lame jokes like that when we’re in Ohio tomorrow.They may kick us out.”

“Ohio?But?—”

“Dani is babysitting, Crusher will watch over the club while you and I go to Ohio as chaperones for Ryan’s field trip.”
