“It’s nice to meet you. Welcome to the family,” I tell her.

“You are a lot more handsome than everyone let on,” she says with a fake glare at everyone.

I smirk at Cook who narrows his eyes at her.

“How do you think I managed to get my Old Lady? If it wasn’t for these looks, I don’t know if she would have looked at me twice,” I say with a wink.

“Wow,” she whispers in awe.

Lily barks out a laugh, and Gretchen looks at her like she doesn’t know if she should run away and hide for looking at me like that or not.

“Don’t worry about it. I had the same reaction when I met his father. They do get better with age,” Lily says while throwing an arm around her.

“Yes!” Camilla says giving Olivia a high five.

“What the fuck?!” Torch and Steal shout at the same time.

“Oh, come on; you know Lily’s panties melted every time your father winked at her,” Bear says to me with a laugh.

“They did not melt,” Lily gasps in outrage.

“Oh, they did. You could tell how damp they were from across the room,” Nick says, laughing.

“Are you saying Gretchen’s panties are wet for our Prez?” Krista asks, cackling.

Gretchen’s face turns beet red.

“They are not,” she mumbles.

“I could check that for ya!” Tech says with a grin.

“You will not be fucking checking her panties!” Cook growls.

“Why not? She’s single, I’m single. Plus, she’s hot as fuck,” Tech says smirking at Cook.

“You don’t fucking touch her,” Cook snarls.

Tech closes his eyes, and he has his hands in the air like he’s grabbing a woman. “What it would feel like to be grabbing those curves…” He’s cut off because unfortunately he doesn’t see Cook come at him and take him down to the ground.

“Quit thinking of her naked,” Cook snaps.

“Why?” Tech taunts.

“Because she’s mine!” Cook shouts.

The room goes quiet at his words, and then I see money exchange hands.

“It’s about fucking time,” Crash shouts.

Cook pulls back and looks over his shoulder to see everyone grinning at him.

Tech takes the opportunity to stand up and takes a handful of cash from Torch.

“So worth it,” Tech says before pocketing the money.

“What do you mean, I’m yours?” Gretchen asks.

“Baby, I wanted to tell you, but I just haven’t had time to talk to your brother. I didn’t want to go behind his back,” he says, and looks over at his brothers.
