“I should have let Seb whisk me away to get married, like Cain did with you.”
Harper scoffed. “That man locked me in an office and made me sign a marriage license. Girl, he’s crazy.”
Sunny laughed, knowing how in love Harper was with her crazy husband.
“But you didn’t have to do any annoying shopping.”
“The second official wedding, I did.”
“I just want to be married to Seb.” She sighed dreamily, and Harper patted her head.
“I know, sweetpea. It’s been your lifelong wish.”
As joking as Harper was being, it truly was Sunny’s wish.
Be Seb’s wife and his everything. To have an abundance of kids who all looked like him. Be a kickass elementary teacher.
She was on course for at least two of those goals.
Just then, she saw her man, and her blood came alive. He was with Alpha and Dax, and it looked like a serious enough conversation, but when he saw her, his face lightened, and he came over, kissing her lips. “Did you get everything you needed today?”
“Yep.” She beamed, wanting to crawl all over him but feeling shy about it. Seb wasn’t shy as he cupped her face. “I need to go out for a while, but I’ll see you later, baby.” Another kiss, and he joined the guys, his grave, almost angry face back in place, and Sunny wondered what that was all about.
Right after they left, Tanner strode out of the hallway, and she swept off her seat, not having seen him since she’d left Seb’s parents that morning to tell them their news.
“Hey, Tanner.”
He looked over and paused his steps. His face was unreadable.
“Do you know what’s got Seb looking like he wants to punch rocks?”
“They got the footage from last night,” he answered.
“Oh, and?”
“The guy was dressed in camo and walked by eight other sweet rides before he slashed up Seb’s tires.”
Doomy rocks filled the pit of Sunny’s stomach. “Shit. So it was targeted then?”
“Looks like it.” he turned his back and grabbed a soda from behind the bar, cracking it open. He drank it with a long gulp.
She wanted to call Seb to see how he was doing. Given her close relationship with him, she doubted he’d handle this well. Occasionally, young troublemakers in the area found it amusing to challenge each other to trespass on Souls’ land. She hoped it was something like that.
Tanner took her arm and started walking her out to the hallway. A few of the younger guys were hanging out. It was strange how Sunny noticed the divide in the club.
Everything was fine within the walls, but the kids all congregated in their own little groups. The older brothers were still the bosses, but the younger ones did most of the grunt work. It was only ever for parties where everyone hung out together.
She supposed it was how it was when organizations passed the baton to the next generation.
“What is it?” she asked Tanner. Assuming he wanted a private word with her.
“Are you sure?” he asked, his voice raspy and serious as he wiped his mouth with the hand holding the soda can.
Confused, Sunny asked, “About what?”
“Getting married.”
His words floored her, yet confusion was still gripping her brow as it furrowed, unsure why he’d even ask such a stupid question. Anyone whoknew Sunny, even for a moment, would know where her loyalty and heart were.
