He slips to the side of me, taking my body with his, holding me close. I feel his lips at the top of my head as my body gives in to the slumber, while I hear him tell me that he loves me again, and that things will be okay from here on out.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE

CALDER

Light rock music fills the air, and the kids are running around, all except Mable and Kane who are sleeping under the shade that Magnum had built years ago when the club started filling with kids.

Blue and pink balloons and bunting shift in the light breeze. There is a big fucking banner that has Royal and Tree’s names printed on it as today is a club baby shower for my brother and his Ol’ Lady.

The women went baby crazy, sorting decorations, so it looks like a fucking unicorn puked their guts out here.

I am sitting with all the men of the Rugged Skulls Fort Lauderdale chapter, plus a few extras such as Zeb, Lee, Cal, and Jase. We have a fire pit going, drinking beer, and letting the day run its course.

It is fucking nice as pie having nothing to do but drink and be a fucking family.

“I only know twenty-five letters of the alphabet. I don’t know why?” I chuckle at Travis’s joke, looking across the yard at Kady, laughing at something Joss said to her.

Fuck me, I love that woman.

“What fucks like a tiger and winks?” I ask the group.

“I am going to regret this,” Slide sighs, making me smirk at him, then winking.

He flips me off, but he laughs along with everyone else.

“Fucking cocky prick,” my father mutters.

“My wife says I have two major faults. One, I don’t listen.” He pauses. “And something else.”

We all laugh at his dad joke.

Fuck me, today will be a day to remember.

“Every time I get to work, I hide,” Slide throws out there.

My father scoffs, replying, “Well yeah, good employees are hard to find.”

“Like you know how to work hard,” Sarge grunts at Slide.

“History degree is useless. There is no future in it,” Cal chimes in.

We laugh at the shitty but funny jokes, while drinking beer.

“What is a different name for coming inside a woman?” Slide asks.

“Oh, fuck. Do we want to know?” Pres mutters.

“Go on,” Maverick tells him, with a wide grin on his face.

The way that Slide smirks, we know it is going to be a good one, and by good, I mean, offend the fuck out of some people.

“A dishwasher,” is the answer.

Loud, howling laughter fills the air around us. The women look over, smiling at us men enjoying our time. Beer gets spat out so we don’t choke, and I wipe my mouth and chin with the back of my hand.

Royal and Jack fall off their chairs, Lennox is leaning forward trying to catch his breath from laughing.

“Motherfucker, I knew I should never have asked.” Magnum shakes his head, laughing.
