I switch back around and point at the baked goods.

“Muffins, bagels, toast, croissants, and fresh fruit. Astrid is bringing out eggs, bacon, sausage, and hash browns.”

Goose nuzzles his nose into my hair and kisses along the back of my neck. Goosebumps spread across my skin as his hands snake down my body.

“You’re fucking amazing, Bambi.”

“Get your hands off my girl, Goose!”

We both turn around to see Joker standing in the doorway with a big smile on his face. Goose growls and pulls me into him.

“Fuck off, Joker. She’s all mine. I claimed her as my Old Lady.”

Joker claps as he walks closer to us. “About fucking time. Now get a ring on my baby’s finger and put somepequeñas bebesin her.”

Goose and I just laugh with Joker as more of the men come into the dining hall. They all look down and I hope the breakfast Astrid and I cooked will bring their spirits up.

They all load their plates and sit down. Goose grabs me and two plates, bringing us over to Striker and Maverick.

“Where are the girls and kids?”

Striker groans. “Getting the kids dressed. Knox and Colton got into some flour and then Bodhi was right there with them. Then the girls joined in. It’s just one fucking mess.”

I laugh as Striker and Mav shake their heads. We eat and there isn’t a single thing left when the guys are done with it.

Cleaning up, I walk toward the kitchen, Goose right on my heels with more dishes.

“You don’t have to help, ya know.”

He just shrugs as he puts the dishes in the sink. “I don’t mind, babe.”

I smile at him and lean on the counter. “I’ve got to go to work tonight, Goose.”

He crosses his arms. “Nope. You can just stay here.”

“No. I have a job to do. Those girls need me, and so does Mad Dog.”

Goose just shakes his head. “Let him deal with those bitches himself.”

I gasp and playfully slap his arm. “Not all of them are bitches. But really, I need to go in tonight. Plus, I need fresh clothes.”

“Fine. But I’m coming with you and there will be two prospects there too.”

The double doors open, and Joker comes strolling in.

“I’ve got me and two guys coming.”

The doors swing open again, and Mad Dog comes into the kitchen. I roll my eyes as he walks toward me.

“I’ll be there too. We just wanna protect you, babe.”

“Yeah, yeah. I know.”

Goose pulls me into his arms and kisses the top of my head. “We all love you, Bambi. You’re the glue that holds this club together. Striker may think he’s the glue but we all know you are there for all of us in a fuck ton of ways.”

Mad Dog and Joker both nod in agreement. All three men pull me into one big hug and we all laugh. They pull back and I lean into Goose.

Mad Dog lounges against the kitchen island. “We also got try-outs this afternoon and I need you there. I can’t do that shit by myself. You have a knack for those things.”
