“Dante’s home!” Dezi yelled next.
I hopped to my feet and went to hug my sisters. “Yep, you two had better stay in line.”
“Great. No more sneaking around with boys, Demi.” Dezi elbowed our sister and made a tart face. I couldn’t read if she was joking or not. She’d been the most mischievous of the three of us. But it had been a long time. We’d all grown and changed. It was like I didn’t know them anymore.
“Don’t listen to her. There’s only one boy she wants… Max,” Demi whisper-shouted.
“Shut up, Dem!” Dezi shoved her away.
“Max Harrisburg? Boxer’s boy?” This was the first time I heard this. To say I was stunned was an understatement. Max and I hadn’t been close before I left for bootcamp. We’d gotten along just fine. We’d just ran in different circles due to me being a couple of years older in high school. It hadn’t been cool to hang out with freshmen and all that.
“Oh my gosh!” Dezi’s face turned beet red. “I hate you, Dem.”
“Aww, come on. We all like Klymax.” Demi winked at Dezi. “You know why he’s called Klymax, right Dante?”
“I hate you!” Dezi ran out of the room. Seconds later, her bedroom slammed shut.
“You should be nicer to your sister.” Mom issued Demi a disapproving glare. “You know how your dad and I feel about her with Max.”
“Sorry.” Demi grimaced. “It’s so fun to rile her up, though. She shouldn’t make it so easy.”
“Sometimes I don’t know what to do with you.” Mom rolled her eyes and drank her coffee.
“So you guys don’t approve of Max?” I asked.
“No,” Dad shot back. “He’s probably packed full of STDs. Don’t get me wrong. Love the kid and would give my life for him, but he isn’t going anywhere near my baby girl.” He got to his feet and went down the hallway, likely to comfort Dezi. They had always had a special bond.
“I don’t see Max slowing down anytime soon,” Mom muttered as she stared in the direction my dad went. “He’s on the fast track to getting a girl pregnant.”
“He’s your typical bad boy, biker playboy. Much like his dad, so I’m told.” Demi reached for a cookie. “Dez isn’t even on his radar.”
“Hmm. That’s a good thing.” I sat back down and took a peanut butter cookie. If my parents didn’t approve of Max, I wouldn’t either. They knew him better than me, and I trusted their opinions.
“Plus, he’s two years older than her. And they’re just too young to be getting serious,” my mom replied. “He’s a good boy, but he loves the MC life… all of it.”
“All of it?” I wasn’t sure of her meaning.
“She means the kittens.” Demi glanced sidelong at me. “Is that what you’re after now that you’re back? Screwing on pool tables and orgies. Maddox likes to party, although I haven’t seen him take a girl to his room.”
“Demi,” Mom hissed. “Don’t talk about Maddox or any of the other men. What they do is their business.”
“I’m not judging them. I’m just telling it like it is. So, what about you, Dante?”
“What I do is my business.” I’d always dreamed of being a Knight and protecting our territory. The brotherhood my dad had shared with his MC brothers had been what I wanted for as long as I could remember. But I wasn’t interested in the kittens or orgies.
My fiery redhead flashed behind my eyes. I needed to talk to her. Make her understand why I hadn’t kept in touch with her and now that I was home, I would make it up to her.
“Okay then. I’m going to take a shower and head to bed. Goodnight.” My sister left and took her sassy attitude with her.
We all knew Demi wanted nothing to do with bikers. She believed there were few who could be faithful, which was a bunch of bull, considering all our uncles hadn’t cheated on their old ladies.
Most of the Knights were stellar men. Fearless. Protective. Deadly.
Of course, some were all about the club’s kittens, always hungry for pussy. Not a horrible thing in and of itself. I loved it myself, but there was only one I wanted.
“She’s determined to turn my blonde hair gray,” my mother muttered. “She often acts like a scorned woman, but I can’t for the life of me figure out who burned her.”
I considered my mom’s words as I finished my cookie. One name popped into my head. A guy I’d overheard her talking about on multiple occasions, but I’d blown it off because she hadn’t said one nice thing about him. I’d figured she hated him. Then again, I hadn’t known why she would hate him. He was like family. We’d grown up around the kids from the North Dakota chapter.
