“Here you go.” Butch hands me a plate.
“Thank you,” I reply.
Without thinking, I pick it up with my fingers and bite into it. I am so hungry, and it smells amazing that I can’t help myself. I moan as the taste explodes into my mouth.
“That good?” Butch asks.
“Couldn’t wait?” Bear chuckles.
I swallow the piece of steak before looking at Butch with a sheepish smile.
“It’s absolutely amazing. You need to make this more often,” I reply.
I look over at Bear and blush.
“I am super hungry.” I shrug. “Sorry.”
“Nothing to be sorry for. Just never seen you do this before. It’s amusing,” he replies.
I give him a smile and continue to eat. I can’t get enough of it.
“Do you want anything else with it?” Bear asks.
“Steak,” I say in between mouthfuls.
Butch laughs and flips some meat. I look at my plate and realize that all the meat is gone. Before I can even say anything, more is placed on my plate.
“I hope I read your face right. You still looked hungry and like you wanted more,” Butch says.
“Thank you,” is all I say as I continue to eat.
“I’m glad you like it so much. Some of the brothers think that I need to try something new, but it’s nice to see that you appreciate it.”
I look up at Butch and give him a smile.
“Make this for me anytime, and I will sing your praises,” I tell him.
He grins and chuckles. I finish off the rest of the steak and throw away my plate. I am fully satisfied and want to take a nap now.
“Everyone! Can everyone hear me?” someone yells.
Everyone’s attention turns to the person. Gears is standing up on a chair.
“Today we celebrate two people. Two people who have gone through a lot, but have grown close. Bear has asked Brooke to behis old lady, and Brooke said yes! We celebrate them becoming one,” Gears calls out.
Everyone cheers at the news. Most people knew, but there were some club members who had just walked in.
“Our Sergeant-at-Arms, who we never thought would find an old lady! When Brooke walked into our compound, I knew there was something special about her. She wanted to keep away from everyone, but that obviously didn’t work out.” Gears chuckles.
Everyone else laughs at that statement, including me. I tried hard to stay away from people, but it didn’t work out.
“When Bear came home, he set his eyes on Brooke and even left his own welcome home party. After that, he came by the garage to try to talk to Brooke. Brooke wasn’t having it until one day she agreed to go on a date with him. Now, the rest is history, and here they are, together,” Gears yells.
I look at Bear and snuggle into his side.
“I’m glad I gave you a chance,” I tell him.
“I am too. I wasn’t going to give up until you said yes. I knew you were going to be mine even if it took me several years,” Bear says.
