I sighed and just hung my head. There was no convincing these women otherwise, so I just went with it.

An hour later, the judge came back out.

“After reviewing the footage, all charges have been dropped. Attorney Banks, please take the proper steps to have your client released.”

The other lawyer stood up with his hands in the air. “Fine! Then I want that woman charged with Lloyd’s murder!”

I jumped up and slammed my hands down on the table. “No! He attacked her! I will not let her go down for that!”

The judge banged his gavel. “Enough! Or I will have the both of you held in contempt of court!” He turned to the other lawyer. “You will file the proper paperwork for another trial. I also suggest you act in a professional manner moving forward.”

Lily elbowed me, and I looked up at the judge. “I’m sorry for my outburst, your honor.”

He shook his head at me. “Don’t let it happen again. You are a very lucky man, Wyatt. Court is adjourned.”

The bailiff came around to uncuff me. “Stay out of trouble and take care of that pretty woman you got yourself.”

“I will, sir.”

He nodded and walked back. I turned and Savannah ran into my arms.

“I was so scared, Hawk!”

I stroked her back as I buried my nose into her hair.

“Me too, baby girl. But I’m here now. I’m fucking here now and never leaving your side.”

I held on tight to Savannah’s hand as we made our way out of the courtroom. Everybody was headed to the clubhouse. Lily led us to my motorcycle and handed me the keys.

“Thought you may want to ride this home.”

I smiled and grabbed the helmets. “Thanks, Lily.”

She walked over to her car, and Sav and I hopped on my bike. As we drove out of the parking lot, Savannah wrapped her arms around me, pulling herself flush to my back.

I smiled as we drove down the road. I was finally fucking free and had my woman back.

Wepulledintotheclubhouse and parked the bike. Everybody was here and I could smell the barbeque coming from the backyard.

I took Sav’s hand and walked through the door. All my brother’s and Old Ladies were inside and started clapping as we made our way through the crowd. Savannah held tight to me as we made our way to a table.

The Prospect brought us two bottles of beer as I threw my arm around her shoulder. Savannah cuddled into me as she took a sip. Life was fucking good with my woman right next to me.

As the night went on, more of my brother’s and their Old Ladies left. Those who were single stayed and grabbed some of the club girls. Savannah yawned, and I leaned into her ear.

“Wanna go upstairs, baby?”

She gazed up and nodded to me. I took her hand in mine and brought her upstairs to my room. Everything looked the same as I left it except for Sav’s things around the room.

I smiled at the sight, love seeing my woman here in my space. Going to the bathroom, I shut the door behind me and cleaned up.

When I came out, I stopped my tracks. Savannah was standing by the window, in just black lace panties and one of my old faded black club shirts. It was sexier than any lingerie she could buy.

I walked over and wrapped my arms around her. She happily sighed as she leaned her head against my chest.

“I’m so fucking sorry, Sav. For everything.”

She turned and softly kissed along my jawline.
