She nods, pressing into my side as we walk. “I just don’t really have anything with me. Nor does Promise.”
“Don’t worry about it. You can borrow one of my shirts to sleep in.” I grin down at her. “Besides, I went by your house earlier in the day and grabbed some stuff for you and Promise.”
“You did?” she asks, tilting her head back to meet my gaze.
“Yeah.” I nod. “Promise needs something to wear to school tomorrow.” Thank fuck it was Friday and she’d have the weekend off. Reaper was gonna put a prospect on her while she was in school. He’d sit outside the damn place the whole day on lookout.
Hope and I step into the clubhouse, finding a handful of my brothers were still up. None of the typical shit is going on. My brothers have pretty much mellowed out and save it for the weekends now. Meaning tomorrow night it won’t be like this. I’ll have to make sure Promise is in her room if we’re here atthe time. She doesn’t need to see what happens at a club party. Hope, on the other hand, will surely see it.
I jerk a chin in Ghost’s and Azrael’s direction while guiding my woman to the hall leading to my room. I open it for us and grin at Josphine as she puts my daughter back in her crib.
“She woke up, just had a bottle, and a diaper change,” my sister-in-law reports. “Should be good until morning now.”
“Appreciate it,” I tell her as she passes by.
“I know you do.” The woman would. She’s been a big help to me at every turn when it comes to my daughter.
I close the door behind her and glance down at Hope, her eyes on the crib. “She really sleeps in here with you?”
“Yeah. She’s been number one to me since her grandmother dropped her off here.” I don’t want to think about that day, but it was also a blessing because it was the day I got my daughter.
Hope moves to the crib and watches Eabha sleep. “She’s the most beautiful little girl.”
“She is,” I agree with her as I move in behind her and pull her away. “Come on, let’s get you ready for bed.”
As much as I wanted to continue enjoying her body, we both needed sleep. Tomorrow, things were going to change, and tonight, I simply want to hold her in my arms.
CHAPTER 15
HOPE
“I don’t know why you have to ride with me to Tyler,” I huff from the passenger seat. I said ride, but Styxx isn’t riding with me, he’s doing the escorting. “I’m perfectly capable of driving myself.” Tyler, Texas, is where I have my dance classes and where he’s going with me today.
“Maybe so, but we haven’t been able to find your uncle, and I’m not taking any chances. Until he’s found and we get the message across that you and Promise are off limits, neither of you is alone. He’s not getting the opportunity to catch either of you alone. Meaning I’m taking you to Tyler for whatever reason.”
You could say in the past several days I hadn’t told him about my other job that I do a few days a week. It hadn’t occurred to me to voice it. That is, until Kari called this morning asking if I could take today’s classes to cover for Sally. Still, I didn’t tell him why, just that I needed to get to Tyler to help a friend.
“You’ll see when we get there,” I mumble, not wanting to go over it right now. This was my thing, and I didn’t want him to tell me that I had too much on my plate.
Styxx grumbles something that I don’t fully understand, but I know I caught the words ass spanking. A thrill went over my body at the thought of his hands on my body in any way he put them. The man was good with his hands. Hands and mouth both. And with his cock. I’ve never been with anyone like him. When he wants to, he’s got the stamina to have a fuckfest that could last days on end. We haven’t been able to go at each other since the day we’d spent in bed together.
We had to be creative in what we were doing. Using the attached bathroom at the clubhouse had been interesting. I never had shower sex before, and it’d been great, but bathroom sex meant he held me up in his arms in the middle while he used my body to fuck hammer down onto him. It was amazing. Then, when we were at his house, he gagged me twice to keep me from making a noise with Promise in the room down the hall next to Eabha’s.
This morning, after dropping my sister off at school, he enjoyed feasting on me while Eabha napped. I’d gotten to play with him as well, though not as much, considering he yanked me up his body and had me ride his cock fast.
“You gonna tell me what we’re doing in Tyler?” he asks, following my directions as I point out where to go.
“You’ll see in a minute,” I tell him and point to the parking lot I need him to turn into. “Turn in here and park.”
“I’m going to paddle your ass later,” he grunts and does as I tell him.
“We’ll see.” I giggle. “Now, come on.” I hop out of the passenger seat and wait as he follows suit, but stops to also pull Eabha out of her carrier. It’s good he didn’t leave her in it. She should be able to stretch out as much as possible and not be cooped up in that contraption.
“You’re dancing?” he asks, staring at the sign above the building we’re going into.
“Not the type of dancing you’re thinking,” I answer, pulling the door open and smiling at the girl behind the registration desk. “Hey, Toni,” I call in greeting.
“Hey, Hope.” Toni smiles. Her name’s actually Antonia, but everyone calls her Toni for short. “You covering for Sally today?”
