“But...” Kourt started.
Merlin lifted a brow.
Kourt huffed and stalked off.
Then Kimber asked, “Bathroom. I need to pee.”
I chuckled, “Come on, beautiful. I’ll take you.”
I stood up and offered her my hand.
And the look on her face at my words, I wanted to brand into the deepest part of my brain so I would never forget it.
“You think I’m beautiful?” she asked.
I winked as I helped her stand. “I think you’re the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen.”
She chuckled, then hiccupped, then shared, “I think the alcohol did something to my hearing.”
A few of the brothers growled at her statement, and a few chuckled.
But I did neither.
I brought my hand up and cupped the side of her face, then I told her, “I’ll tell you what I said again when you're sober. Now come on, let’s get you to the bathroom.”
Then I led her out of the main part of the clubhouse, up the stairs, down to the right, and to the last door on the left.
Why I led her in this direction, well, I only had one excuse.
She was mine and, therefore, was going to be in my space.
I tagged my key, unlocked the door, opened it, led her inside, and then showed her where the bathroom was.
See, the clubhouse was an old hotel of sorts after we remodeled it in reds, blacks, and whites, and thankfully, each room had its own bathroom.
It was the main reason we had chosen this location when we started this MC twenty-seven years ago.
After she stepped away from me, I leaned against the wall.
But before I could really do that, she stopped in the doorway and looked over her shoulder at me, “Umm, Grey?”
I lifted a brow, “Yeah, babe?”
She swallowed, “Can you help me out of this dress, and maybe find something for me to change into. Please?”
I winked.
It would be my pleasure to undress you, baby girl.
I didn’t share that.
And I wouldn’t until she was sober and could remember every minute of the moment, I made my intentions toward her crystal fucking clear.
I stepped forward, bent at the waist, and helped her out of her dress by undoing the corset thing at the back.
The top of her head came up to my chin.
Once I was sure the material was loose enough, I moved to my chest of drawers, opened the top, pulled out a tee, then opened the bottom drawer and grabbed a pair of sweats.
