“Nope.” I shake my head. “I can’t believe you haven’t already heard about the little snit.” Rulie and Gloria know everything about us. They take their jobs of keeping the peace seriously.
“I heard Cash had a hole dug in the back pasture.” He shrugs nonchalantly. “I’d start kissing his ass so you don’t end up in it.”
My angel gasps. “She thinks you’re serious.” I pull her close and lift her chin so I can stare into her worried blue eyes. “Your brother and I worked everything out. You don’t have anything to worry about,” I assure her.
“Why don’t you bring her luggage in, and I’ll show her the guest room?” Gloria looks over at her husband.
“That won’t be necessary.” I halt them. “My angel is staying at my house with me.”
I see the questions swirling in both their eyes, but they know better than to question me. “Where is everyone?”
“The whole crew is out back arguing about how to fry a goddamn turkey.” Rulie shakes his head. “The fucking fire department is ready to come put out the blaze.”
“Come on, sweetie.” Gloria reaches for my angel’s hand. “Let’s go see what the ladies are up to in the kitchen. Catriona planned the entire dinner and we’re all chipping in to help get it ready. The men can figure their shit out.”
I kiss London’s forehead and whisper, “I’ll be right outside.”
“Yeah.” Concern fills her blue eyes. “With my brother and flammables.”
“It’s all good.” I stare into her eyes before kissing her juicy lips. “I’ll be back in a few.”
“Holy shit,” Rulie grumbles. “The fire alarm is going to go off from the fucking heat in here.”
As my angel follows Gloria into the kitchen, he turns to me. “You like to live dangerously, don’t you?”
“She’s worth it.” I shrug.
“I hope you still think that when your future brother-in-law shoves a fried turkey up your ass.”
“London is mine.” I leave no doubt about my intentions. “Her brothers will just have to get over it because I’m keeping her.”
“I’ll order extra ice packs and bandages. Just in case.” Rulie and I walk out onto the back patio. “Make sure the blood stays outside. Gloria will have my ass if she has to clean up the mess.”
“There’s the fucking dead man,” Cash growls. I glance over and barely hold my laugh back when I see Giant, Cowboy, Playboy, and Hands fumbling with the stainless-steel contraption.
“We’re all going to be dead if you don’t break down and read the goddamn instructions.” Tate points at the booklet laying on the glass table. “Burns suck.” The children’s heart doctor would know.
“Fine,” Cash relents. “Look up where this goes.” He holds up a black hose.
“That looks like something I use in the bedroom.” Giant shrugs.
“We don’t need to hear about your sex toys.” Playboy drops down into one of the wrought iron chairs. “Read the goddamn instructions. I don’t plan to die today.” He kicks one of his booted feet up on the edge of the table. “My wife has plans for me later.” The wealthy heir to Romano International, the shipping empire, points to the front of his jeans.
“You will fucking die if Gloria sees your size fifteens on her table,” Rulie reminds him.
God. It’s fucking great to be home. My heart settles into place for the first time in years. I waited way too fucking long to retire.
The holiday weekend passes way the fuck too fast. Before I blink, it’s the night before my girl flies home. We’ve been avoiding the subject, but it’s time for me to make my move.
Chapter Nine
London
The night before I head home from Silver Spoon Falls, Bender takes my hand and leads me into his family room. This freaking house is huge. Five freaking bedrooms and six bathrooms of country beauty. Who in the world needs six bathrooms?
When he sits me on the sofa and takes my hand in his, I realize my worried mind wandered off.
“We need to talk.” His words cause my stomach to clench. If he wants to slow things down, my heart will shatter. Over the last few days, I’ve discovered that there’s no way I can live without Bender.
“The thought of living without seeing your gorgeous face for even one day is killing me.” He places a kiss across my knuckles. “So, we need to discuss how we’re going to make this work.” My hot rockstar rubs his bottom lip. “I can’t sell my house since it’s attached to MC property, but we can use it as a vacation home.” My mushy mind has no idea what he’s saying. “And I patched in for life. I can’t imagine my life without the MC.”
“I’d never ask you to give up the MC,” I interrupt him. “I’ll quit my job and move here.”
“No.” Bender shakes his head. “You won’t suffer for loving me.” There must be some way we can make it all work.
