Page 52 of My Knight

Both of the men in suits standing near the door said in unison, “Yes.”

That sent the girls into a round of laughter.

“Then that would be Sloane or Dove,” Poppy said confidently. “Though honestly, we all have a little Alice and Meg in us.”

Brynn gave a soft smile. “Meg’s my favorite. That’s definitely a good thing.”

Suddenly, Leo’s phone buzzed. He pulled it from his pocket, checked it, and his whole expression shifted. “Let’s get this meeting going,” he muttered, tucking it away.

Brynn’s brows drew together. “Everything okay?”

Leo nodded once, short and tight.

Yarder took the cue. “All right, let’s head to church. We’ll discuss everything there.”

The guys started filing down the hallway. Pirate turned to me and brushed a kiss across my lips. “Be good while I’m gone.”

“Always,” I promised.

He gave my hand one last squeeze, then headed down the hall with the others.

Brynn passed by me with a soft smile. “These bikers love fast,” she said quietly, “but from what I’ve seen—they’re never wrong.”

Leo and Brynn followed Yarder and disappeared down the hallway.

And then… silence.

Just the girls left in the common room.

We didn’t say anything at first. Just stared at the hallway like it was going to explode.

Then—

“Did you see her dress?” Dove gasped.

“Her hair!” Fallon added.

“Those shoes…” Sloane practically moaned. “They were like badass royalty!”

“I believe,” Sloane said as she flopped dramatically onto the couch, “they are one hundred percent going to save us.”

“How could they not?” I laughed, still a little breathless. “It was like they stepped out of a movie.”

They really were incredible. I’d seen a lot working in television—executives, celebrities, people who thought they were powerful. But Leo and Brynn? That was a whole different level. They didn’t have power. They were power.

Mac came up beside me and bumped my shoulder. “Didn’t take long for that biker to claim you in front of everyone.”

“I mean…” I stammered.

She pulled me into a quick hug. “I’m so happy for you,” she whispered. “I knew you two were a thing, but for him to do that? In front of them? That’s huge.”

I smiled and felt my cheeks warm. “It felt… real.”

“Because it is.”

“Okay,” Adalee called with her hands on her hips. “Everyone, come eat because I need to clear out the kitchen and start lunch.”

“It’s not even ten,” Dove laughed.
