I clap my hands in excitement at the delicious menu. I start laughing at Austin because he has his mouth wide open in disbelief, still not sold on the idea of me cooking for everyone, I guess.
"But I’ll need someone to pick up everything from the grocery store when we arrive," I add.
He shakes his head and finishes his breakfast. "If you’re that determined to cook, it can be arranged. Be ready to leave in fifteen, and wake Dani's lazy ass up."

"If you’re not a patched member, except for Tiny and Loco, get your ass out of here now," I shout as we head inside the clubhouse. "Razor, are all members here?"
"All members are here," Razor replies as everyone who is not a patched member of Demons United quickly exits the clubhouse.
"Hey...everybody, settle down," I yell over the racket of the club members who have gathered at the clubhouse. "Everyone remembers what we discussed at the meeting from yesterday. If you were not there, ask a brother and they will inform you of my order. Make sure you keep in mind what was discussed. These beautiful ladies standing to my right are my baby sister, Dani and that is her friend, Kira. They have come to us for help. They will be shown the utmost respect and should be treated as if they are your family. Is that understood?"
I look around at my fellow patch members. They all nod their heads in understanding.
"All right. Prospects Loco and Tiny, come forward, please."
As Loco and Tiny come forward to become the newest members of Demons United, I'm brought back to the memories of the day I decided to start this club and how far it has come. All the men in this room and the chapters along the east coast who proudly wear our patch go through a similar process. They start out as hang-arounds, getting acquainted with members. Then, by vote, they move to become prospects and handle certain things for members. Finally, they become patched members who have proven their worth and loyalty to our bylaws and the club.
"You guys are now officially members of the Demons United MC Georgia Chapter. You live by Demons’ rules, and you die by Demons’ rules. Welcome to the family brothers." I give both men their cuts as the rest of the brothers erupt in cheers and whistles. "Wear them with pride, fellas."
Tiny smiles as he puts his cut on which has Demons United on the top rocker and Georgia on the bottom rocker on the back. "We will, man. Thanks for this."
Loco smiles and puts on his cut. "Yeah, Prez. I can't tell you enough how grateful I am for this. You guys are my family."
"You both have proven that you’re Demons United to the core. You deserve the respect and honor that comes with wearing that cut."
I excuse myself when Mike heads in my direction, and I take Kira and Dani to the side while Mike follows us.
I grab Mike by the shoulders. Once we’re away from everyone, his cheeks blush in embarrassment. "Kira...Dani, you remember this idiot?"
"Ladies, I apologize for my actions, and I'm asking you for your forgiveness. I wanted to tell you that I'm loyal to you both and will lay down my life to protect yours." Mike gives both Dani and Kira a small smile as desperation etches across his face.
Dani places her hands on her hips and glares at Mike for a few minutes. "I accept your apology. But you need to learn some damn manners. Not everyone is a slut. And we’re not sluts," she says, motioning between her and Kira.
"Thank you, Dani, for accepting my apology. And I did learn my lesson."
Turning his attention to Kira, he continues to apologize, especially for the crude remarks regarding her race.
"Mike, I accept your apology, and I'm glad you’re one of the guys protecting me." Kira engulfs him in a hug, which takes him off guard and me as well.
She pulls away from Mike and gives him the brightest smile.
A light blush crosses his cheeks, and he nods his head. "Thank you, Kira. You don't understand how much that means to me."
Damn, she's amazing.
"Everyone good?" I ask, looking between the three.
Everyone nods their heads. "We're good," they all answer.
"All right, fellas make sure you’re fueled up before we leave. We don't want to stop too much." I shout over the talking and music when a small, trembling hand grabs my arm. Kira grips her phone tight with tears welling up in her eyes.
"Hey, everybody shut the hell up!" The voices start to quiet down. "Put it on speaker."
"Hello?" Her voice is shaky.
"Akira, what the fuck did I tell you, you dumb black bitch!" Avery growls into the phone causing Kira to flinch, which pisses me off. "Your ass better be here today, or I'm coming to fucking get you myself."
