“I’ll rinse off in the shower and then make us some breakfast. What do you want to do today?”
She turned. “Do I get a choice? I thought we had to stay put.”
“We do, but as long as we lie low, we can still go out. We could drive to Utah.”
“To visit the Diablos compound?”
Seb scowled at how happy she looked. He was aware she liked the Diablo Disciples MC because of Roux and Butcher’s kids. They bridged the two clubs together because of family ties.
“Only if you agree to be friendly with me again.”
He’d reached the blackmail portion of his plan sooner than he thought and wasn’t mad about it.
Rather than being pissed off, he watched the cogs turning when Sunny’s eyebrow lifted. She had no idea how gorgeous she was with her baggy sleepwear and her hip cocked in that way that made his hands itch to grab on and bring her onto his lap.
“You’d voluntarily take me to another MC so I can be friendly with everyone else?”
“Hey, I never said I’d let you be friendly with them. Only me.”
Right then, he pictured her being friendly with all those egomaniacs, Diablos, and he vowed he’d never take her to any MC again. Not until she wore his property patch on her back, a ring on her finger, six babies in her belly, and her hand in his.
Fuck. Seb wiped a hand down his face to scrub away his thoughts. They’d bolted so fast, like he couldn’t control himself.
“Think about what you want to do.” He climbed the stairs to the shower.
He returned to the kitchen; they were dressed casually, and Sunny had the coffee brewing. Seb started cooking bacon, eggs, and toast. His phone rang when they were in the middle of eating.
He saw the VP on the screen.
If Hawk told him the trouble was neutralized and to bring Sunny home, he was gonna lie his ass off to her to keep her alone for a while longer. As he answered, his conscience was clear as a whistle, not a flicker of guilt.
“Is my daughter okay?”
“Of course she is.” He sent her a wink across the table as her eyebrows folded in, watching him as she drank her coffee. “How’s things?”
“Same, but I have a lead to follow today. Make sure you’re with Sunny. Don’t leave her alone.”
“I promise.”
“And your mitts off her.”
Seb chuckled, but didn’t answer. Choosing not to lie to his VP.
Hawk sighed like he could sense Seb’s intentions. “Let me talk to my girl.”
He passed the phone across the table. “It’s your dad.” For the next minute, he listened to the one-sided conversation.
And then his ears perked up when Sunny said. “No, Daddy, I can handle him.”
Oh, can she? He’d love being handled by her. He smirked, and she turned red, averting her eyes.
“He’s behaving, but he is a Priest, and we know what they’re like.” She chuckled, sending a sneaky glance his way. “There’s no guessing how long it will last. I know, Daddy, I will. Seb is aware of my self-defense master skills.”
Because he’d been the one to teach her every underhanded tactic to fight off an attacker, and the little brat wanted to use it on him? He flashed her his teeth, grinning.
“No, I couldn’t use a gun. I don’t want to be the one to clean up all that blood. Oh, you’re right, Daddy; we could send a prospect, that’s good thinking. Yes, I will. Love you, too. Bye.”
She handed him his phone and stuck a piece of bacon in her mouth like she hadn’t been planning his murder.
