I smirk, hitting the gas to take the lead. “Are you excited?”

“Are you boys doing what I think you’re doing?”

I nod, sliding my eyes to her when she pouts a little. “What?”

“I wish you’d told me.”

“Why?”

“I woulda bought my gun.” She jokes, making me laugh.

Protector by City Wolf plays through the speakers and she turns it up, leaning back to light a pre rolled joint. I shake my head at her but I’m not mad about it, not when she looks the way she does at my side right now.

I take her hand to interlock her fingers with mine and she eyes me, frowning. “What are you looking at?”

“You.”

She raises a brow, blowing her coffee to cool it. “Why?”

“Because you’re fucking beautiful.” I tell her, grinning when she drops her head to hide hers. “You like that word?”

Her eyes hit mine and she growls, throwing my hand away. “I hate you.”

“No, you don’t.” I smirk, snatching it back. “You only hate the fact I can read you.”

She shakes her head at me, rolling her head to look out the window. “You drive like a pussy.”

I raise a brow, flexing my hand on the wheel. “You think so, punk?”

“Yep.”

I shove my foot to the floor and she screams, squeezing my hand when her little body flies back in her seat. I quickly check the boys behind me and swerve into the fast lane, then I use our hands to drop to fourth and hit the gas again.

“Holy shit.” She squeals, laughing despite the lack of air in her lungs. “My heart is fucking flying right now.”

“You want more?”

She bites her lip, nodding.

I smirk and crook my finger at the boys in the rear view, then I give my girl what she wants.

A little while later, I pull up outside Joe’s Diner on the edge of Bridgeport and kill the ignition. My little brothers do the same and we’re all out and walking for the door in the next second.

“How the fuck did you get him to do that?” Kai laughs, wrapping his arm around Callie’s neck.

“I bruised his ego.” She jokes, grinning when I glare and pull her back into me.

“Don’t push it, punk.”

“Sorry, boss.” She winks, falling in line beside me while the boys do the same either side of us.

I lick my lips and shove my way through the main door, enjoying the way every head in here snaps our way.

This shit never gets old.

Some stare, others drop their eyes just as quick, but most grab their shit and run, rushing by us to get the fuck outta here.
