“I don’t mind watching him.We can go swimming.”
The thought of the guys seeing her in that little red bikini of hers has me snapping at her, “It’s not your job.Besides, it’s no place for a baby.”
She rolls her eyes but doesn’t argue.“Whatever.”
“You can’t use the pool.It’s being shocked,” I lie.
“There’s an ocean.”She laughs then smirks at me.
“Stop looking at me like that.”
“Like what?”
“All smug.”
“Pfft.Can I invite Melissa to the clubhouse?”
“Is she eighteen?”
“Yeah.”
“Does she know how to keep her mouth shut?”
She nods.
“Don’t make me regret saying yes.”
“Thank you.Thank you,” she squeals and rushes me for a hug, catching me off guard.Her arms loop around my neck as her body presses against mine.
I smile at down at her, placing my hands on her wrists, bringing her arms off me slowly.My wife gazes at me dreamily with expectation.I can’t hate myself any further than I already do when I give in to her this time and press my mouth to hers.I kiss her lips but deny her when she prods at the seam of mine with her tip of her tongue.
“I can’t kiss you back?”
“Later.Get changed.”I release her and give her a playful slap on the ass.
I’ve already earned a special place in Hell.I might as well reap the fucking rewards.
Candyce met us in the parking lot to get Ash.She’s Kevlar’s sister, and I know I can count on her to treat him as good as her own, and Ash is used to her.Not as much as he is Martina, but when I first brought him home from the hospital she pitched in to care for him as often as needed.
I escort Ashley into the clubhouse.The guys have gotten used to seeing her around over the years, especially this past year.It’s crazy to think it has been two years without my father.
We don’t get five feet in the door before I clock trouble.Felicity is here, and she’s marching toward us looking pissed off.
“You took off without so much as a goodbye last night.”She has hands on both hips as she observes Ashley’s hand wrapped tightly in mine.If I’m doing this, I might as well get it over with.
“He may have started the night with you, but he ended it buried inside of me,” Ashley tells her, and the whole bar goes quiet.
“Run along, little girl.The adults are speaking.”She waves a hand, making a shooing motion.
“Don’t disrespect my Ol’ Lady like that.”
Felicity bursts out laughing.“Wow.Of all the ways a man has tried to blow me off, this really takes the cake.”
“Do I look like I’m joking?”
“Is she even old enough to drive?”
“I’m old enough to have him screaming my name when he gets off,” Ashley smarts off full of biker bitch attitude that earns her some approval based on the reactions of my men.
