I grinned up at him. “Then… maybe.”
He gave my butt a smack and then kissed me. “Love you.”
“Love you too.” I gripped his cut. “This means we’re going to have to talk to my dad about shacking up.”
“Yeah, I’m aware. We’ll give him a few to get used to us actually sleeping in the same bed before we do that, yeah?”
I nodded. “Probably a good idea.”
I pulled away long enough to glance around the room. “It’s missing something.”
“What?” Cash asked, pulling open a dresser drawer and dumping in a pile of shirts from the laundry basket.
“A rug,” I said before taking the laundry basket from him and scooping his shirts back out of the drawer.
“Babe, what are you doing?”
“You are not an animal,” I declared. “These should be folded and set neatly inside. Otherwise, how will you know what you’re putting on?”
“They’re all pretty similar, what does it matter?”
“Are they even clean?”
“Mostly.”
I scrunched up my nose in horror. “Please, for the love of god, don’t tell me you put clean shirts in with dirty.”
He shrugged.
“Oh my god, gross.” I dumped the load into our brand new hamper. “I’m going to wash these again.”
“That’s not a threat that bothers me.”
“Well, do not think weaponized incompetence is going to work on me, Cash. I’m fine with working as a team and Iactually like doing laundry, it’s calming, but if you want to do the majority of the cooking, you can, because I hate that.”
He grinned. “I can do that.”
I cocked my head. “That was a little too easy.”
“I hate fuckin’ doin’ laundry, Teagan, so if you’re willin’ to take that off my plate, I’ll happily cook,” he said. “I like cookin’.”
“I know you do, that’s why I suggested it.” I lifted the hamper and faced him. “That does not mean I won’t ask you from time to time to perhaps switch a load or throw one in, but I’ll fold and put away, which I know is the biggest pain in the ass. Deal?”
“Deal, baby.”
“Okay, let me go start one now so you have something to wear this week.”
“You want help now?”
“No, if you could go rustle up something to eat, that would be great. Wine would be good too. Dinner and a movie would be awesome.”
He chuckled, leaning down to kiss me quickly. “On it.”
I headed upstairs to where the washers and dryers were housed and dropped in a load, then made my way back down to our room. Cash wasn’t back so I grabbed my laptop and went searching for a rug to ‘tie the room together.’

WEDNESDAY NIGHT, CHURCH had been called as an all-hands and everyone that was a patched member piled into the conference room. It was a tight squeeze with officers and senior members seated, and the rest of us standing around the perimeter.
