“Hi! I’m Sami. Kane’s ol’ lady and Ally’s ours. Please don’t judge us by the crazy one. Kane didn’t know he had a sister until recently.” I grinned as Sami stepped in front of Luna, blocking Carly who stared at the back of Sami’s head when Sami thumbed over her shoulder to point at Carly. “She hasn’t been cleared to go back to work or ride her bike, and she is going stir crazy. Not that she isn’t normally a little...well, you’ll learn, she’s just overly stressed now.”

“Yeah, and Sami is under the delusion that because she is pregnant, she is funny. Instead of bitchy and a pain in the ass.” Luna laughed at Carly and stuck her hand out to Sami.

“Nice to meet you, Sami. And I can deal with crazy.” Sami smiled at Luna and shook her hand.

“I’m Bailey, and Lance and Neely belong to me. I’m a nurse for Dr. Monroe. She is an OBGYN. When you’re settled and are ready, tell me,andwe will get you in to see Mac.”

“Go ahead and set her up an appointment, Bay. She needs to get in there,” I said and earned a glare. “You haven’t seen a doctor yet. You need to.”

“Yes, and I’m sure I could have answered Bailey withoutyourhelp. Considering she was talking to me.”

“Ooh, we are going to get along great.” Carly clapped her hands,andI looked over at my prez.

“Sorry, brother. To late, you've acceptedthe patch.”

“Welcome to our hell,” Speed said, and Sami turned her face up at him.

“Really?” Sami asked.

“I just meant because it’s warm and cozy there,” Speedsaidandsmiled when Sami rolled her eyes.

“Talk about pulling that save out your ass,” Devil muttered, and Bailey elbowed him.

The other women stepped up and welcomed Luna. Shakes informed us both that if we needed anything we only needed to come and knock on their door sincesheand Dare lived next to us.

“Except tonight,” Dare said, and Shakes smacked his arm. “Darlin’, I ain’t been laid in a week. Once I close the door at our place, not openinguntiltomorrow. And might not do it then.”

“Oh my God, Dare, there are little ears around,” Shakes scolded and looked to where Ally and Neely were. Thank God, they were by the trailer with a few of the brothers, looking at Luna’s bike.

“They aren’t ours, so we don’t have to do any explaining,” Dare said and chuckled. “Besides, you act like we’re going to be the only ones bouncing the headboard off the wall, sugar.”

“Just a tip. The egg crate stuff people use to make their mattress softer. Cut two pieces the size of your headboard and staple one to the back of the headboard. The other, dip in the same paint color as your wall, then attach it with Velcro. Cheaper than fixing the wall all the time and cuts down on sound.”

“Got any tips when people are plain ass loud?” Devil asked and looked at Crusher and Carly. It didn’t take Luna long to realize what he was getting at even though she hadn’t heard about their first time in Crusher’s house when they left the window open.

“Well, nothing short of a ball gag, really,” she said with a straight face. Everyone looked at each other, then laughed, and Luna smiled.

“What am I going to do with you?” I asked.

“Take me home and love me.”

I grinned, leaned down, and kissed the top of her head. I forgot how comfortable she always was around people and was glad she hadn’t grown out of that. She laid her head against my arm.

“You tired?”

“A little and hungry.”

“Brax, we stocked basic stuff,andsome of the other ol’ ladies made a few casseroles and set them in the fridge. Didn’t think after the trip the two of you would want to go running to the grocery,” Bailey said. “And I left you a little something on the kitchen island from my mom’s bakery.”

“Claire’s strawberrycheesecake?” I asked and cocked my brow.

“Yes.” She winked.

“Umm...cheesecake?” Luna tilted her head up at me and smiled.

“Not just any cheesecake, the best cheesecake.”

“Nice to meet everyone. Thanks for making me feel so welcome. Can’t wait to get to know everyone better. But wherever that cheesecake is, I need to be there.”
