"Austin...Dani...bring your asses out here and eat," I yell while placing the food and orange juice on the table.
"Kira, how in the hell do you expect us to eat all this damn food?" Demon waves his hand at the dining room table when he enters. "How long have you been up?"
I shrug my shoulders. Sleeping next to Austin is the best sleep I have gotten in a long time. After he wrapped his arms around me, I was able to sleep without waking up in a complete panic. When I woke, I felt like a new person, rejuvenated.
"I got up at my normal time. I thought maybe you could invite those guys outside in to eat as a way of me thanking them for what they are doing. They’re putting themselves in danger for me, spending time away from their families, so this is my way of saying thank you."
"Kira, you don't have to thank us.” I take her small hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. “We decided that we would protect you no matter the cost."
"Austin, let me do this, please. Those guys have been outside all night instead of at home with their families because of me. It's the least I can do.” I start walking towards the door, hoping he won’t stop me, sure the guys would love to have a home-cooked meal. “Please tell them to come in and eat for me. There is enough for everyone."
He finally agrees, letting go of my hand and opening the door. "Fellas, come in!"
As all the men file into the house, there is an expression of confusion on their faces.
"Everybody this is Kira, the young lady you have been protecting,” Demon introduces. “My sister still has her lazy ass in the bed. You all can meet her later." The men chuckle, and I slap him on the arm. "Anyway, Kira wanted to thank every one of you for what you’re doing, so she cooked you breakfast. So, head to the dining room. The food is on the table."
"Holy hell! You cooked all this food this morning?" one guy asks as he walks into the dining room. "Damn, this shit smells good."
"Hey, watch the damn language in my house!" Demon yells.
What is it with him and cursing?He curses all the time in his house but everyone else, he jumps down their throats.
"What is it with you and cursing?" I laugh as he shrugs his shoulders.
"A habit I picked up from my dad." He gives me an expression I can’t quite place, but not dwelling on it, I turn my attention back to the men who seem to be enjoying themselves.
I shout over the chatter going on between the men. "Guys, eat all you want. If there is anything else you would like, I’ll be in here."
"Ms. Kira, will you marry me?" one guy asks, but before I can answer, Austin cuts me off.
"Shut up, Zeus!" He slaps him on the back of the head. The guy laughs.
"You guys are crazy." I glance around the room. I always love for people to enjoy my cooking.
"I take it you guys like the food?" I ask, setting another tray of sausage links on the table. When no one answers, I start to laugh. "I’ll take the silence as a yes since everyone is still stuffing their mouths."
"Kira, you have done enough. You need to sit down and eat. We got a long ride ahead of us," Demon says while putting food on his plate then taking a seat in the living room.
I place a hand on his shoulder, giving it a gentle squeeze. "I already ate this morning before you got up. You worry too much."
He gives me a huge smile. "I have to."
"Where are we going?" My knees weaken at the sight of his face. I thought the man was gorgeous before, but when he smiles his facial features change dramatically. He becomes more than drool-worthy.
Damn, he should laugh more often!
"The club’s beach house so we can plan our next move. We’re going to the clubhouse first so I can introduce you and Dani to the other club members. I trust these guys with my life, and so can you."
"I would like to cook for them as well."
"Kira...there's going to be more than one hundred men there. We can have pizza delivered."
"We’re not having pizza, Austin. I've cooked for more than that before."
"Are you really going to cook for everyone?"
"Yes, Austin. I've already told you it helps keep me calm, and I love to do it. While you guys do whatever it is you do, I'll cook.Ooooh, how about fried chicken, barbecued ribs, baked beans, mac and cheese, and cornbread or biscuits?"
