“Besides, we all know you were never one to share your toys growing up. You really need to rein in that jealousy thing you got going on there.”
Dinner goes off without a hitch and we fall into easy conversation around the table. Of course, Blaze and Dad pepper Raegan with questions. They both are eating out of the palms of her hands by the end of the meal. The women are now cleaning up the plates and are in the kitchen, so the guys come out on the back porch to have a beer and talk.
“So, how’s it feel to be out, Blaze? You doing okay?” I ask and notice Annie is with us wrapped around her daddy like a vine. She even sat on his lap during dinner and refused to sit in her highchair.
Blaze must see my concerned look, “Ever since I walked through the front door of the house, this little lady won’t let me out of her sight. Even had to lay down with her for naptime, but I don’t care as long as I get to spend time with her. Feel like I’ve missed so much of her life already that I don’t mind her being like this.” He hugs Annie close and she lays her head on his shoulder. “But, it’s going good so far. At least now I have p-u-s-s-y on tap and not once every six to eight weeks, and only for thirty minutes.”
We all get a laugh at him spelling out the word so Annie won’t repeat it. I know for a fact Allison would have our balls if Annie started saying those types of words out of her precious little mouth.
The night comes to a close and both Dad and Melissa insist that Raegan come back anytime, even if it’s without me. I’m pretty sure I just got booted out of the family and replaced by my woman. After having to pull her out of Rocky’s room because he was showing her his baseball card collection, we say our goodbyes and head over to my house. I notice only Raegan’s car in the garage when we pull in.
“Sutton coming over tonight?” I ask as we close the door and walk through the house.
Not that I mind but with Ivy now gone we have the place officially all to ourselves. It would be nice to fuck out in the open instead of having to wait until we reach the bedroom with the door closed.
“Not tonight. She texted earlier, she wants to meet up tomorrow.”
“Did she say how the party was? I saw her avoiding Havoc like the plague,” I pry being a gossipy little bitch. Having these three women invade my home for several days has me doing things I never imagined doing.
“She’ll be okay and they’ll have to figure things out,” she says vaguely and that tells me nothing, but I’m not really listening as she gives me a mischievous grin and starts peeling her shirt off, leaving clothes down the hallway to our room. Like a little mouse to bread crumbs, I follow the trail.
Today is the day of the Charity Carnival to help raise money for the school’s athletic department. Sutton and I have been helping my mom and all her friends with this for the last few weeks. It’s all day, so we have to be there at six to help set everything up. Sutton and I slept at the pool house last night, much to Kane’s dislike, so that we could help Mom pack up some of the items that will be auctioned off. The carnival is going to have rides, a petting zoo, and all types of games to win prizes. Supposedly it’s a giant hit every year and the entire town along with neighboring cities come out to support the cause.
Mom’s been on my case a lot lately about where I’m at most nights. I refuse to answer and say that I’m an adult, and that Sutton and I are hanging with some friends. I can tell she isn’t ecstatic about it, and that it must look awful to her little social circle that her daughter is out all hours of the night. As if I care about social circles and all those snobs.
My inbox for work has been getting full lately and I just can’t seem to care to jump every time it dings informing me that I have another email. My bank account has money that will last me for a long while if I decide to halt all hacking jobs. Sutton jokes it’s because I’ve been struck by the love bug, but I think it’s because she and Kane take up all my time. She doesn’t know the full extent of my activities and what I do, but she knows that I gather information for companies. Keeping the dark side shielded is best for everyone involved and also the safest too.
Love? Do I love Kane? We have an amazing time together and I can’t seem to get him out of my every thought, but is that love? Obsession?
I shake off those thoughts pushing them to the back of my mind as Sutton and I grab some boxes and wait to be told where we are needed. We have a busy morning, and I can’t afford those types of distractions right now.
Hours later the carnival is in full swing and the entire town showed out for this event. Sutton and I have just come back from changing out of our dirty clothes from setting up, and we’re walking around checking out all the booths. I know the MC guys are working one of the food booths and can’t wait to try some of their cooking.
Everyone is having a good time as kids are running around with cotton candy and huge stuffed animals that are bigger than their little bodies. Sutton and I are just a few booths down from the MC’s booth when a group of men in leather circle us. They don’t look like the type from Kane’s club, and by the smell of them, they must’ve just come from a brewery.
“Hey, chica, wanna go for a ride,” a guy comments and steps into my personal space. I immediately recognize him from the race I did weeks ago, I think his name was Brock.
I try backing up, but we’re blocked in.
“No thanks, I’m good,” I say grabbing ahold of Sutton’s wrist as we try to move around them.
“Hey, why the rush? Let me show you a good time, I promise you won’t regret it,” another one of the guys says.
“We aren’t interested,” Sutton informs him as he bends down towards my face. I can feel her tremble under my hand as I tighten my grip on her.
“I wasn’t talking to you, puta, mind your business,” he snaps at her and then turns back to me with his hand running up and down my arm.
I notice his cut reads, President, and see a snake tattoo on his neck, so I can only assume that he’s a part of that Viper MC that’s been coming after Kane.
I shove his arm away from me, “Don’t ever put your hands on me,” I say, and I hear a few heckles from his crew. When I look back at his face I think I’ve committed the ultimate sin. Out of the corner of my eye, I see another group of men charging over from the area where Kane and his brothers were at. This is going to get messy.
“I’ll do whatever the fuck I please, puta!” he berates and grabs both of my upper arms giving me a shake just to prove his point.
Colossal mistake, dude!
One minute I’m being shook and the next, this asshole is getting his bell rung from Kane’s fist. Sutton and I are shoved out of the way as both MCs go at it. It’s an all-out brawl happening and people are running to get out of their way. I watch as men in uniform rush over. I can’t help but worry how much trouble our MC is going to be in.
Kane and Havoc are duking it out with the last two standing guys, but the police come in screaming and separate them.
