“You talked to her about that?”Tuck asked.“What will you do if she doesn’t want to be claimed?”
“My damnedest to convince her.”Demon shook his head.“I haven’t talked to her yet, and we have a lot to discuss.Not just between the two of us but in general.If the feds confiscate all her father’s assets, she’s out of a job.Her brother said he might can save the business, if she truly wants it, but I’m not sure if she’s decided if she wants it or not yet.”
“Get that settled.”Tuck pinned him with a hard look.
“Let me know if I need to order her kutte,” Ruger put in.
“You?”Krissi said with a brief laugh.
“I can do it.I did all the ordering before you came along.”The club treasurer reached down and grabbed the bottom of his wife’s chair and pulled it over until it sat against his, then leaned in and kissed her hard.Krissi leaned into him, obviously enjoying it.
“You two keep it up and Amber’s not going to be an only child long,” Sadist said.
“Too late,” Krissi said when they broke apart.
They all turned toward the couple, Gizmo stared at them a moment, wide-eyed.
“Congratulations,” Gizmo said.
“At the rate we’re going we’ll have a whole clubhouse full of rugrats soon,” Sadist put in.
“I’m failing to see the downside here.”Demon shrugged.“I hope to be in those numbers before too much longer.Speaking of, if we’re done here, I want to snag Ronnie and talk to her a bit.”
“We’re done,” Tuck said.“Go see your woman.”
“Talking… that’s what they’re calling it these days?”Gizmo shot him a grin.“I’ll have to go have a talk with Jill too.”
Sadist rolled his eyes.
“You’re all idiots.Go, do you’re thing.I don’t want to hear about it.”
Demon grinned.He did plan on talking to Ronnie, but he wasn’t opposed to a little more, if she was up to it.
He nodded to the others, stood, and let himself out.Ronnie was still sitting in the booth where she’d been when he’d checked in with her before they’d locked the doors.The other women still with her.They were laughing and talking.He approached, bending down to drop a kiss on top of her head.
“All done?”Ronnie tilted her head back to look up at him.
Demon nodded.
“That didn’t take as long as I expected.”
Demon shrugged.“Sometimes things don’t take all that long, sometimes they take longer.You having fun?”
Ronnie nodded rapidly.“You ready to go do something?”
“I thought I might take you up to my room, if you’re interested.”
A light of interest that he loved seeing appeared in her eye.She looked around the table.“Sorry, ladies.I have really enjoyed meeting you all and hope we can do this again.”
“But you just got a better offer,” London said with a grin.“I don’t blame you.If my man came out with that look in his eye, I’d be abandoning you all too.Go.Have fun.”
“Woman!”Tuck’s voice echoed through the large room.“Are you getting sassy again?”
London’s grin grew.“Speak of the devil.I’ll see you girls later.”She slid from her end of the booth and hurried toward her husband.
Ronnie didn’t move as quickly, but she slipped from the booth.
“I’ll see you,” she said to Dana and Beth, then took Demon’s hand.“Lead the way.”
