I turned to see Striker and Maverick grinning at me.

“What do you want, you fuckers? Where are all the kids, by the way?”

Striker laughed. “Outside. Grills are going. Your woman is looking good tonight. Keep tabs on her, man.”

I shook my head and chuckled. “Nah, don’t need to. I’m not gonna be like Lloyd. She’s still dealing with issues from him and I am doing everything in me to not be like him.”

Maverick patted me on the shoulder. “Brother, you are nothing like him. You can be rough and still love the ever loving fuck out of your woman.”

I smiled and turned to look at Savannah. She was an incredible woman who had survived so much. I truly cared about her and was finally happy with where my life was going.

She looked up at me and winked, then made her way over. Sav wrapped her arms around my waist and kissed my chin.

“Why were you staring at me?”

I laughed and gently took her face in my hands.

“Just checking you out. That outfit is driving me crazy, baby. Can we leave yet?”

Sav laughed and tucked herself under my arm.

“Let’s eat and then we can talk.”

We both walked outside where some of my other brother’s were on the grills and the kids were running around.

Mama Crawford, Lilah, Goose, and Mavericks mom, was sitting in her chair holding Goose’s twin baby girls.

She smiled when she saw Sav and I walking out, holding hands.

“About time, you two. Savannah, dear. You come see me later. I’ve got some things for your new home!”

I laughed while shaking my head. “That woman always has something for everybody.”

“I heard that, Wyatt. I may be old, but my hearing is still excellent!”

Savannah and I laughed as we made our way around the yard, saying our hellos while grabbing plates of food.

The sun set and those with kids gathered them up to leave. Mama Crawford helped round them all into their car seats.

Sav and I said our goodbyes just as Luna came around back.

“It’s time to party! I’ve got some great entertainment inside and I’ll be taking center stage in just a few.”

Those that remained slowly made their way inside to see the girls dance. Savannah and I stayed outside.

She leaned her head on my chest and happily sighed.

“This has been such an enjoyable night, Hawk. Thank you for bringing me.”

“I wouldn’t have it any other way. Wanna head inside and see Luna do her thing?”

She nodded, and we got up. Luna was just finishing up, and we caught the last part of her act. Luna was fucking talented and knew how to hold the crowd’s attention.

She hopped off the makeshift stage and sauntered over to Savannah with a big smile on her face.

“God, it will be great to have a girlfriend here with me. Astrid is working the bar tonight, so I’m all by myself. Wanna grab a drink?”

Sav turned and looked at me, and I just shook my head. “Go. Do whatever you want! Seriously, baby. Enjoy yourself.”
