“Come here,” I demanded. Riker skipped over while Roadie stayed on the floor.

Riker placed his hands on my waist and looked up. “He just walked up to Darlene and grabbed her boobie. I could tell she didn’t want his hands on her like that. Hasn’t he ever heard of foreplay?”

Fuck me, I wanted to laugh. Grabbed her boobie.

Instead, I rubbed a hand over my mouth and curled him into me. Together, we stared down at Roadie. “What did you do to him?”

“Pfft, nothing much. He’s overacting. Get up, Roadie,” Riker called, and my brother slowly got to his feet.

“Nothin’ much?” Monkey asked, still grinning. “Riker launched over Darlene and swung Roadie over his back before landing on him with a kidney punch. We didn’t hear what he said, though.”

“I want to know,” someone said.

“Yeah. Roadie looks about ready to vomit or shit. What’d he say, Roadie?”

“Fuck off,” Roadie snarled. He picked up his phone that must have fallen out and stormed from the room.

Riker tipped his head back, knowing I was already staring down at him.

“What’d you say?” I asked softly as the others, except Spade and Monkey, went back to partying.

He shrugged. “All I said was that I’d cut off his hands and shove them up his ass if he ever touched a woman like that again. And that I’d always be watching. Now I’m in your life, I’ve taken the women under my legs, and I’ll protect them from bitches and manhandling. Especially if I see a woman wince like Darlene did.”

“Don’t you mean wings?” Spade asked.

Riker’s brows dipped. “What?”

“Taken the women under your wings instead of legs.”

“No. I have legs. I’ve never had wings and I won’t.”

His serious and confused face was adorable.

Riker glanced off toward the door where Roadie disappeared into. Obviously, his mind had drifted elsewhere when he asked, “I can’t hurt him more, can I?”

“If he doesn’t listen to your warning, you can.”

He grinned. “I do get to keep an eye on him?”

“You do.”

He went to his tiptoes, kissed my jaw, and skipped over to the women. “Come, come, my lovelies. You need to take my number in case any of you need my help.” He paused and turned his head slowly to glare at Marker who was talking to Boff. They must have felt his stare because when they looked at him, they sneered.

Anger punched me in the gut.

“Mark, Boff,” I called, and their gazes swung to me. I shook my head. Boff dropped his head and walked off while Marker tried to stare me down. Eventually, he clenched his jaw and headed over to the bar.

“I’ll keep an ear out,” Monkey said as he slapped me on the back and stalked off.

“I’m gonna go talk to Coms,” Spade said. “I’m sure you wanna get outta here.”

“Yep. Keep me updated. I’ll come in when needed.”

“You got it. Good to see you content, brother.”

I tipped my chin up. “Thanks.” After he walked off, I waited, watching Riker and thinking that I had a good group of close brothers who I knew would be my ride or die and had already accepted Riker and me.

They knew I’d do anything for them. Like they would for me. That shit filled me with pride and gratitude. It wouldn’t only be them either.
